So yeah, LJ and I aren't really close anymore. I've killed my LJ habbit in order to actually get grades that will get me into medical school. (I'm currently carrying a 3.74.)
I live with a British guy who works for Microsoft. Our dogs spend the day licking each other's genitals. It's very interesting, really. Have been snowboarding, have not been going out at all and will be trying to get up before 9am until school starts up again.
Alright, so Happy Holidays to you all. If you want a "holiday" card (they're really Christmas cards but they're kinda dark humor) you should email me your address. |

[Nov. 13th, 2005|07:04 pm] |
You are a Carnation:
You are friendly, energetic, cheerful, and bubbly.
You love being around people. Outgoing and
talkative, you rarely meet a stranger. Others
feel at ease around you because of your playful
nature.
Symbolism: In Victorian times carnations were given
to show fascination with another. They also
symbolize friendship and whimsicalness.
Which Flower are You?

Things are actually going semi well in the land of Sabrina. I'm finishing up this quarter, my final quarter at SCCC, and then I will be spending way too much money to become a doctor. On the doctor front, I start working at Harborview Medical Center as a medical assistant on November 30th....yay ER. I bought my white Birkenstock clogs today, I'm such a yuppy.
Adia is being relocated to Woodinville after discovering that my cat really seems to love my friend Chris way more than me. Satchel is moving with me back to Seattle and I'm pondering buying him a little playmate....There's this dog I always ran into on Capitol Hill that was a black Lhasa Apso with short hair. His name was Mr. Moto (BEST. NAME. EVER!) Anyways, I'm trying to find a little dog like that.
My brother is still in intensive care but he isn't intubated anymore. Hopefully he'll be out soon. I swear to God I'm going to smack him and then hug him when I see him in December.
Taking things one day at a time and feeling mighty fine about it. |

Have you watched Commander in Chief on ABC? Geena Davis is just so....watching her deal with the Russian President and her backstabbing Speaker of The House at the same time?! I'm wet just thinking about it.
If you have Comcast Digital Cable, turn to the IHDTV channel and watch "Bruce Hornsby Live: Three Nights on The Town." He does this really pretty version of Fortunate Son blended with a Pink Floyd song that I can't place.

Good is good and bad is bad
But you don’t know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they’re blowing ‘round
They won’t help you when you’re down
Love’s on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything’s unfair
Would you care if you’re the last one standing there
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
I don’t hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that’s not where you want to be
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
And let your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
All your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
But you don’t know why
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
Everytime you hear the rolling thunder
And you turn around before the lightning strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
All your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
Neither do I
I really really really LOVE Sheryl Crow. I can't believe she's almost 50. Damn....
I'm trying to think of how I'm going to get in shape for the upcoming snowboarding season. I've put on at least 5lbs since March.....this is not good. Must stop eating so much cruchy french toast.

I'm almost certain that I have a big sign on my forehead that says, "will every frat boy within a five mile radius of me please come and find me, grab my ass and then shove your tongue down my throat while my friends watch in horror."
That was basically my Saturday night.
So sad boy is someone I know from UW. We bonded because...well, because I'm a geek and he seemed like a geek crossed with that business major guy who you know graduated 3 years ago but never really left campus. I'm sure I said several times that "I'm gay" but maybe that means "I'm easy" in his native language of frat speak.
Needless to say, it made me weekend and maybe my young adult life complete when he sent me the following email: Subject: Nice to meet you...
From:
Date: Sun, October 16, 2005 10:26 am
To: sabrina@wartorn.org

Sabrina,
Hey it was nice to meet you last night I had fun! However, what was the
deal with you friend... did I do something to them? I don't think they
really liked me....?
Weird...
Sorry!

____________________________
The funniest part of all of this is that we left RPlace (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) litho, Chris and myself) and we to The Wild Rose (don't ask why) and came back to RPlace to get Chris'd debit card and he was still there! He then proceeded to follow me and my friends half way back to my apartment until Emily almost killed him. Considering my friends that evening were an angry dyke with a temper and a straight guy with several years of martial arts training, I felt pretty safe. ;-)
Crazy frat boys aside, my life has taken an interesting turn. I'm sure I should be running around in a full sized panic attack about my future (financial/education and otherwise) but I can't. I'm kinda numb to it actually...I'm happy to have the friends I have and mindful of the things that have happened to me lately but I'm kinda at a loss. When do you just hang up the gloves and give up? Are you supposed to keep fighting when things aren't working out your way or is there a point when it's just like hitting yourself in the face repeatedly. I had guests stay over due to their drunken state and I woke up with a pretty bad hang over on Sunday. (Do not mix beer and Long Islands...bad idea.)
The beautiful, the fabulous and just plain sexy hellomoto13 joined us for breakfast. I attempted to play match maker but it seems as though I might have failed...who knows. I still think that she's really a lesbian anyway. ;-)
Oh, so yeah...guys. the male part of the species is starting to appeal to me but I'm not sure if that's because I've been celibate for as long as Britney Spears has been a virgin or not. (How's that for a riddle?)
Now to finish my chemistry and dream of being tackled by imhawterthenyou. (That was my dream last night.) |

So I'll post some stupid quiz:
LJ Interests meme results
- ben folds five:
There has to be a million Ben Folds Five references in my previous journal and, I'm sure to come, this one. - driving home:
No matter where I go or who I'm with or how I feel, driving back home where I feel comfortable always feels right to me. - good r&b:
There is such a thing as bad R&B. Case in point, everything Bobby Brown as put out since marrying Whitney Houston. - iowa city:
It my heaven and hell. I grew up there. There's still a HUGE chuck of myself that involves that place. I'm sure I'll return in the manner of medical school student or slave....hopefully the first one. - leela james:
An amazing singer who has the same speaking voice as Macy Gray. - medicine:
I want to be a doctor thus, medicine is an interest and well...I live and breathe it and will be for a long time. - pete yorn:
"On Your Side," in my humble opinion, is on the best songs ever written. It made me cry when I first heard it and it made me cry when it was the sound track to a Red Cross commercial. Yes, you heard me. Shut up. - seal:
I'll admit it. I've always loved Seal. - they might be giants:
Being a dorky black girl with braces and glasses made for interesting times in junior high and the first three years of high school. TMBG got me through. - women's studies:
I blame my Aunt Sandie for sending me all those books when I was 14 and Karen Kubby for influencing me the way she did.
Enter your LJ user name, and 10 interests will be selected from your interest list.
Walking around this Em this evening reminded me of better times. She's a great friend and I'm lucky I get to be geeky with someone. Thank you. |

So I'm over my hangover and now freezing outside infront of Top Pot Doughnuts on Summit. I'm starting to wonder if my sex drive or any drive involving anyone has died. I'm honestly not attracted to anyone at the moment and I know I've been hit on but I don't even have it in me to say anything back but smile. I think I'm turning asexual which is fine with me since I'm doing hard core math and science this quarter. Umm....math and science....**drool**
Satchel, on the other hand, is in love with his new bone and is currently eating it. Now that's love. The lady at the counter tried to give him a doughnut, I had to say no. I don't want to clean up dog puke later.
I hate saying it, but I'm glad I start school next week. If next summer sucks as much as this one did, I'm going to jump off a cliff. |

Modern, Cool Nerd
60 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 30% Dork | For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in either of the following:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Professional Wrestling
Love & Sexuality
Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST |  |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 61% on nerdiness | | You scored higher than 92% on geekosity | | You scored higher than 43% on dork points |

I've come to the conclusion that humanity is liability and everyone should be given super powers. I, personally, would be come The Huntress. But that's just me.
Recent examples of why humanity is a liability is my brother William's friend who went to serve in Iraq twice and was killed yesterday driving from Nashville back to Iowa to see his parents and family. Me having to have another colposcopy done (joy) and my friend Mary telling me horror stories from her ob/gyn rotation at the UW hospital.
Job is going OK, they seem to like me and my work. I seem to have an alright bedside manner anyways and that's a good first step.
Currently fighting with Laurel about if we should get rid of my Game Cube and let her buy a new PlayStation 2. I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I bought my Game Cube but there aren't any games for it at all....it's really kinda upsetting. Anyone who owns a PS2 want to tell me pluses to owning one?
Also, my iBook is being a shit and I think the hard drive is going to fail AGAIN. I'm starting to lose my love/faith in Apple products except for my iPod. I will always love you. |

Holy crap! So my best friend from high school (also the other gay, black person in my class) sent me links to his Friendster blog which happens to contain the following pictures of me from high school.
I feel that I should share these now rather than have Faraji share them with the media when I win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
I'm not awake so please forgive the lack of code.
Picture #1: http://faraji.blogs.friendster.com/photos/good_times/homecoming_98.html
This is a picture with me, a girl I had a HUGE crush on, Faraji and my hopelessly gay ex-boyfriend.
Picture #2: http://faraji.blogs.friendster.com/photos/good_times/homecoming_97.html
This is a picture of Faraji and his infamous gaggle of girls he took to Homecomming. Trust me, he played up the "pimp" title for the rest of the school year. I went with him because it beat going by myself and my mother would have made me go either way. If only she knew how drunk I was in that picture.
Picture #3: http://faraji.blogs.friendster.com/photos/good_times/whs_drum_majors_2.html
Faraji and the rest of the drum majors...the girl with the black hair at the top of the picture is one of my first big crushes and the reason I took AP European History that year.
So today is Wednesday and because I'm half awake (the red bull hasn't kicked in,) I'm going to make a list.
1) Take Erin to Trader Joes
2) Pick up drugs from Rite Aide
3) Drop UW class because I don't want to pay $930 for one fucking class.
4) Go to CCSWW HR and fill out forms for references.
5) Take Nap
Yup, I love summer. ;-) |

When driving your 30 year old car through Snoqualmie Pass at 11:30 at night, you should do the following:
1) Make sure you have a cell phone that is charged.
2) Tell someone where you are going. ( I did manage to do that.)
3) Do not stop at the side of the road to take pictures of trees, just keep driving.
The car made it, I made it and Laurel made it but I'm sure that it was an act of God that I didn't get killed by the huge State Patrol person who stopped behind me to ask if I was alright and then bugged Laurel.
I don't want to say that it was "driving while black," but it might have been....boo, I say.
Went rowing this morning, I'm fat and out of shape. I knew this but I just wanted to make that public.
Took dog to vet, he has a stomach thingy and is getting stuff to make it better. He also has allergies. I think I knew that already. He's currently curled up at my feet enjoying the sun on my deck.
Waiting for Christy to call me so I can get a drink with her before work, I mean coffee before work.
Rhona is dragging me out on Thursday to RPlace so we can stalk some guy. I love that all my friends are straight, really I do.

I'm also the proud owner of 4 tickets to see Tori Amos. I have 3 of them reserved and if you want to sit with me and my homos and see Tori Amos and Imogen Heap and the Dity Bops you should snatch up the last one.
I'm such a hick. I really do love this song. I know, I know. Laurel gave me such shit for singing it at the top of my lungs while we were in Best Buy....shut up, you love this song too.
Satchel just licked my nose and nuzzled it. I am loved. :-)
I'm trying to be excited about Pride but I'm really not. As far as I know, it's going to involve avoiding just about everyone I know in this city because I'm in a "life transition" (as my therapist says) and I seem to be transistioning out of the friends I have into having not that many friends, which isn't bad because the ones that are remaining are amazing and have been very supportive but I'm shocked in who stayed and who didn't. Or maybe I'm disappointed. I'm also disappointed in myself.
I'm really freaked out about starting this new job. I'm praying that I remember everything I need to know about assisting and birth control.
I start playing soccer this week with Rain City Soccer Club and I start rowing after the 4th of July...I'm such a jock. :D
Tuesday I'm having tests done on my ticker. I would like to take this moment to mention that I have eaten that nasty low fat yogurt butter for years and it didn't do shit and my gentics suck.
Now I'm going to pick up Laurel and see if my car can make it through Snoqualmie Pass. Here's to praying that german engineering is really all that great. |

Took the dog to Magnuson park with Lo, he seems to like to swim as long as I swim with him. My dog is a sissy. :-)
Going out tomorrow with girls from work and friends I haven't seen in ages to celebrate getting my new job. This will hopefully result in a lot of drinking.
