| Who am I? |
Hello, I'm Sarah... I work here. My face is plastered all over this site, but who am I really? Is there more to me than my stunning blue-green eyes, crooked smile, and a goofy laugh? Nope! Well I do tend to be a complete ass.
|
| Where do I live? |
I live in Colorado, north of Denver. I'm currently living in the house I grew up in with my mom and our three dogs.
|
| What do I do? |
I'm in college, going full time this fall and working full time doing tech supporty stuff for a company in DTC. I also have a web design business, Jameson Designs. I recently finished up an Associate's of Applied Science degree at Front Range Community College, and decided to go for a BS in addition to that (because an AAS isn't actually worth anything - doh!). I'm working on that right now at CU Denver. I have a very long, hard road ahead, but if all goes well, I should have a BS in Computer Science and Engineering to show for the trip, ETA being May of 2008. My fingers are definitely crossed. I'll be many years older when that is done, so hopefully I won't run out of steam before then.

| What are my wants, my needs? |
For the time being, I want to get good grades, and make enough money to get my bills paid, with hopefully enough left over to still buy some nice stuff and get out. I can tell that this is going to be the way that things are going to be for some time for me, so all I really need is the patience and persistence to see everything through.
I want a lot of things from life, but I think mostly I'd like to be able to design my own house from the ground up (I think reading The Fountainhead twice affected me), but I've always really liked architecture. I'd like to be able to figure out a layout for rooms and all that, and then have someone build it with custom everything, I'd want absolute license on how it was made, styles, colors, fixtures, textures, everything. I think that'd be really neat, and then when I lived there, I'd have this really terrific familiarity with my house. I doubt financially I'll ever be in a position to do that however, so I think I could probably settle for fixing up another house. I'd love to have an awesome yard, but I don't really do the yard work thing very well. I figure when my mom retires I'll let her take care of my cool yard in exchange for not putting her in a home. That's a horrible, horrible joke. In reality I'll probably make up the slave labor for her for forever since she's supporting me through school (I'm okay with that, she's a pretty swell gal). A koi pond... I'd LOVE a koi pond. What can I say... I'm easy to please.
I'd love to be able to get by on my own business some day, but if that doesn't pan out, I wouldn't mind a cushy senior web development job somewhere either, or something dealing in system administration perhaps. I guess I can imagine getting married some day and having a couple kids. Sounds like fun anyways. Not any time soon though, that's for sure. I figure after I hit 30 I should be ready. We'll see.

| About my blog: |
I'm not a particularly remarkable or interesting person. You might be wondering why I have webpages and a blog at all. So here it is. I like to. I've had a million diaries in my life, none of which I've kept current with. Eventually I realized one on my pc is probably the only one I'd keep up on. I like being able to look back a month, or a year, and see what I was thinking and doing then. It's kind of like an ongoing autobiography. I would recommend the exercise to anyone with a lousy memory like me that doesn't want to lose everything to time.
I also enjoy making webpages, and am generally looking for an excuse to make another design for myself. So there you have it. Most of this is here for me. I continue to be amazed at the fact that anyone else reads it.

| About sarahtory: |
I came up with sarahtory after I saw a spider on my wall at the foot of my bed. I was angry because I didn't give the spider permission to be in my territory, and then I was thinking, territory, sarah territory... sarahtory. That'd make a good domain name: sarahtory. And there ya go. Switched to this domain after nevernevernet expired in March of 2005. Not looking back. |
| About nevernevernet: |
Nevernevernet.com was established on May 30th, 2004. All of this junk was formerly on zombeef.com, with space that I was sharing. It came time to part ways, and so Nevernevernet came to be. I look forward to staying here forever, pending disaster (which would include death or the inability to pay the bill). I may play with a different domain name however. |
| About zombeef: |
My first blog entry was on June 29th, 2002. Zombeef was formed before that, maybe a month or so, but I couldn't say the exact date. Initially I shared the space on the main domain (zombeef.com), but I moved out fairly quickly into a space I could nearly call my own, which became ook.zombeef.com for a great long while.
That's everything I can think of worth mentioning about me. I'd like to thank everyone that's made this fun little place possible for me, my fantastic website hosting folk at Dark Blizzard, my friends, my family, my enemies, idiots I make fun of, and anyone and everyone that has ever taught me anything. Some day I will die, and this will be the only memory of me a lot of people will have. I hope its a good memory. Although I just can't make enough excuses for some of my older entries... ugh. Damn teenagers.
