Changed layout....two problems...and a little note...

I changed my layout again...Sophie avait raison...there was not enough room for me to write!
Anyway...I have two slight problems:
1. My passport is totally MIA. Seriously...I have no idea what happened to it! J'ai peur!
2. Samantha. Not the goody-goody one, the actress wannabe. She won't let me protest the Wacky Shack (a dorm Taylor created...it was originally called the Sunshine Shack but since there are sleepovers and loud dance parties, Kailey and the rest of her crew affectionately renamed it.) with her. She says that since I'm not a US citizen, I don't have basic 1st Amendment rights. And yet, she is letting Christelle protest. How does that make sense? What should I do?

Anyway...a fun little thing...feel free to post it on your blog....

I guess so.

New layout...plus some other stuff.

I had Nellie change my layout. Vous aimez? (You like?) I think it's pretty...yet totally confusing! Anyway, I got a Twitter, so if you have one, follow me! :) Click!
If you don't have a Twitter, get one. Also...I need to change the main language to French..but it won't let me. :( Ah. Stupid Twitter.
OK SO GUESS WHAT? I OFFICIALLY CAN'T STAND SPANISH CLASS! We have two new recruits- Sandrine and Ivy. Ew. Of course, you know that Sandrine has a snobby disposition, but Ivy is just so unfriendly and absolutely negative and ridiculous. It annoys me. THE GLASS IS NOT HALF EMPTY.
I don't like Spanish AT ALL! I miss my German class. :( German is cool.
Also, the Spanish class is divided into two sides...the good side, and the bad side. Kailey and Kaya sit on the good side because there wasn't enough room for them on the bad side. Obviously, they sit in the front for a reason. ;)

Oh, did I tell you that I, Sabine Bouchard, sit on the bad side? Tres chouette. Je sais...

~Sabine

You appear just like a dream...

We didn't crash the party. Pourquoi? Parce que Lilly etait stupide! Lilly said that we got the date wrong, so we burst into the Edwards' room a DAY EARLY.
Oui...they were furious!
Before I get on with the positive, here is another rather negative:
SANDRINE MADE DANCE TEAM.
Here is a picture of us. Sandrine (bien sur!) is modeling her dance team uniform.
The weird thing is...why did she make it? Yeah, she is a fabulous dancer....but the Edwards (who control the team) HATE her.
I have a feeling that this team will become INFESTED with drama. (Not like it wasn't already...but the drama will increase for sure...)
OOOOH! POSITIVE NOW! I GOT THE NEW MILEY CYRUS CD!
The sound is a little different, but it's still cool. My favorite songs on it are "Party in the USA", "The Time of Our Lives", "When I Look At You" (this entry title is a lyric from the song!), and "Talk is Cheap". I recommend it!
~Sabine

More party crashing + DANCE TEAM

I honestly think my best friend is losing it.
Honestly. I do.
She now has this obsession with the dance team...which is pretty much Alyson, her twin, their cousin, Marisol, Chrissa, and Malorie. All very OBNOXIOUS people.
Anyway...
LILLY IS DYING TO TRY OUT!
I'm like..."No. Lilly...no. If you try out and don't make it, you will feel the aftermath."
And you will. It's called "I-didn't-make-it-so-now-I'm-getting-picked-on syndrome." CROIS-MOI...c'est terrible! I remember when I applied for the Alyson Squadron...(long story. To make it short...I felt the LOSER BURN afterwords.)
The LOSER BURN is what Aly calls it when you try something and don't succeed...which is absolutely ridiculous and sooooooooooooooo her!
Well...after tryouts...Aly and Ashley are flying the whole team to the Waldorf Astoria in NYC to have a party. ISN'T THAT NICE?
Well...Liz, Lilly, and I decided to take the risk of crashing the party.
We're not sure how to sneak out of the boarding school yet...we must talk to Kailey, Kaya, and Kirsten who have achieved at this numerous times.
This shall be an adventure. Stay tuned.
-cliffhanger-

~Sabine

Ma vie est mauvaise.

Just when I thought my life was great....
...it turns out....
...IT'S NOT!
Sandrine is absolutely annoying me. I honestly can't believe that she switched schools!
She has this new thing...called the "Elite Quatre". Amanda and Taylor (Taylor used to call herself Miley...which was really annoying because she is DEFINITELY not cool like the real Miley Cyrus!) are members of it. I can see that happening, since Amanda and Taylor think they are the coolest things since sliced bread.
Anyway, Sandrine went out of her way to ask them. I think Sandrine wants to start her own clique so she can beat Alyson. I DON'T PLAY THESE SICK POPULARITY GAMES, OK???
Amanda and Miley used to be members of the dance team...until Aly gave them the boot. I don't understand why they cared so much about getting kicked out. Amanda has figure skating (which she is MUCH better at than dancing) and Taylor has cheerleading (which I don't understand...stupid American sport). So now they are out to get revenge.
OH AND IT GETS MUCH WORSE!
CHRISTELLE IS A MEMBER OF THIS! She has been ignoring me ever since she got invited to be part of this group.
J'AI PEUR!!!!!!!!! What if Sandrine is using Christelle to get information from MOI?
Ugh. Ma vie...
~Sabine

Devrais-je?

That is the question- should I?
You are probably wondering about this question.
I want everyone's full, honest opinion on this:
SHOULD I GET MY EARS PIERCED?!?!?!?
My twin, Sandrine, already got hers done. Ugh. If I do decided to, she'll be all, "SABINE, YOU'RE COPYING ME! THAT'S SO IMMATURE!!!!"
So in all truth and honesty...should I get them pierced?

Merci! :)
~Sabine

WEBCAM!

YAY! NEW LAPTOP!
And it has a webcam! I'm so excited to use it! How about a webshow!?!?!? TRES CHOUETTE, A MON AVIS!!!

I call first use. No one steal!

~Sabine 8D

A CASE OF THE TRES TRISTE MOI...

So...
I COULDN'T GO TO EUROPE! THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME!!!
Well, I would have soooooooooooooo made the room!
I saw the pictures...and will have those up on Tuesday, when we get the camera back.
Christelle and I also got tons of stuff...loads of finds in France.
I now share a room with Christelle...and we have this little table-like thingy. 2 EUROS! How fabulous is that?!?!?!
I'll post pics of the presents, too...the best part! :)

A tout a l'heure!
~Sabine :D

Au revoir!

DEVINE QUOI????????

Well...it all started like this...

Ava gave me a hug and said, "I would miss you, but I probably won't!"

I had no idea what she was talking about...


Then, Christelle approached me and said, "I wish that I were you...lucky!"

Pourquoi?


Nicki and Vicki then confronted me and said that they would like to trade places with me for a week. They also informed me that they were the "bestest travelers ever!"


I walked in my room and noticed a stack of clothes on the floor and on my bed. Hmmm..


Then, I found out what was going on. Sam, Chrissa, and Addy screamed, "HEY SABINE! YOU ARE GOING TO EUROPE FOR A WEEK...WITH CAITLIN!"


I was in complete and total shock...je ne peux pas le croire!

I'M GOING TO EUROPE FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will take and post loads of pictures for sure! We leave tomorrow, by the way!

See you guys in a week!

~Sabine

Vents.

Zut alors. GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I AM INVITED TO THE EDWARDS TWINS' BIRTHDAY PARTY.
I hope this isn't some dumb joke. Knowing them, it probably is. THEY ARE PROBABLY OUT TO EMBARASS ME.
I'll wear my new sundress. :) Maybe that will make an impression.
Oh, and they invited Sandrine, too. :( Ca sera TRES AMUSANT.
(Why don't US keyboards make it easy to add accent marks? I hate copy and pasting them from Microsoft Word. I didn't this time...I don't feel like it. LAZINESS!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and I watched some show called Denise Richards: It's Complicated last night. There was a French girl on it, and everyone was sooooooooooo mean to her. Does it remind you of my life? *pointstoAva*
Why do people pick on the French? We aren't poisonous. I mean, MERDE, we are people, too...FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!

MES PARENTS M'ONT ACTETEE UN PORTABLE!!!! I have been begging them for a cell phone FOREVER AND A DAY! I can't believe they actually got one for me!!!
I don't have texting, but I heard it wasn't that great. Or worth my time...because I like to talk. Only to people I know fairly well.

~Sabine :)

Long time, no post.

BONJOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just letting everyone know that I've been CRAZY BUSY.

Alyssa Edwards had a birthday party...and I crashed it.

I'm in the process of making a ghost tour thingy. My best friend Lilly will be in charge of the house of screams. (OMG SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMSSSSSSSSS! Lilly is the loudest screamer EVER. Her screams are beyond bloodcurdling.)

JE DETESTE LE LAIT (I hate milk). It's gross. Long story...album will be up soon. Let's just say crazy Nellie and Liz are obsessed with milk...and squirrels. Seriously, they wanted me to go squirrel searching with them.

~Sabine

GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

JE SUIS TRES FURIEUSE (I AM VERY FURIOUS)!!!!!!

I don't want to talk about it.
Merci for letting me vent.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Sabine :(

Prank Calling with Ava & Liz

Ava was furious with me this morning because I was listening to the Hannah Montana Movie soundtrack.
She called me into her room, and said that she's going to teach me how to prank call people.
Her phone has internet access, bien sur- the best for Ava! Yeah, and she has the NC Yellow Pages saved to it, too.
She went first, and she asked me to tell her a funny thing (in French) to say to people. She said "Est-ce que je peux aller a la toilette?"- which means, "Can I go to the bathroom?" The people were befuddled by that.
Anyway, I went, and when I went, I said "Hey, girl! This is Sabine Bouchard!" You aren't supposed to use your real name- that's what Ava said.
Then Liz went. She called someone and yelled "TAG! YOU'RE IT!", then hung up. I thought that was hilarious, so I couldn't stop laughing. Water came out of my nose, lol.
I called Pizza Hut and made up a complaint.

Honestly, it was fun, but a little scary.

~Sabine

"You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home"

J'ai vu Hannah Montana: Le Film!!! C'etait fabuleux! (I saw Hannah Montana: The Movie! It was fabulous!)
I want to see it again...it better come out on DVD soon!
My favorite part was when Miley sang "Hoedown Throwdown" at the barn-looking place. Amanda, Miley, and I did the dance.
Ava and Hayley are constantly making fun of me for being a Miley fan, so of course, when I told them I loved the movie....

Anyway, I made Christelle see it, too. Christelle HATES Hannah Montana, but she said that she could relate to some of the songs- especially "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home" and "The Climb".
Even if Christelle is in the US, she never forgets where she's from. One day, she'll "find her way back home" and return to Paris.
Life in the US for Christelle may be a climb, but she keeps on climbin'!

~Sabine

"Sabine's Wild Ride"- TAKEN FROM THE D.A.

JE SUIS TRES TRES TRES TRES TRES FURIEUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kit, Alexandria, and Nellie are the biggest sensationalists ever. They are totally exaggerating the truth here!
Anyway, I bought an issue of the Daily Alexandria, the PPBS official newspaper written published by yours truly Alexandria "Zan" McConnell. I looked at the front page to find this horrific, dramatized story:

Sabine's Wild Ride (written by Kit Kittredge; Photos by Nellie O'Malley)

"All of us know Sabine Bouchard as the dreamer, the innocent, sweet little French girl. What started out as Ava Seffner and Liz Cole having fun turned into a wild, wild ride. Liz and Ava carried Sabine, singing the "AMERICAN IS SUPER GREAT (a.ka. "The Star Spangled Banner") SONG."


"The spectators were laughing; they were enjoying every minute of this."
"Suddenly, Sabine starting screaming 'PUT ME DOWN, AVA AND LIZ! This isn't funny!"


"Ava was having too much fun, so she objected to putting Miss Bouchard down. 'NEVER!' Ava shouted."


"Liz readily agreed with Ava, arguing not to put Sabine down."


"Sabine had enough, so she decided to jump off!"


"Sabine confronted Ava about the whole thing. She readily yelled at Ava, saying that what Ava did was mean and wrong."


"Ava objecting, saying that she was just joking about everything and that she was trying to have fun."


"Sabine was so infuriated that she jumped on and starting singing La Marseillaise, the French national anthem. Sabine wouldn't get off...so..."


"She pulled Ava's hair and pushed her over. Spectator Amanda Tisdale tells us it was horrifing and that it was so uncalled for. Taylor Stewart adds that Sabine crossed the line."


"Liz made sure that her friend was OK. Liz tells us that 'Ava was completely in shock'."


"An outraged Ava lets everyone know that Sabine will be getting revenge, so 'Look out Sabine Aurelie Bouchard! I'm so going to sabotage you! It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but it will so be happening.' So...what is Sabine's fate? Maybe she'll be kicked out of school? Keep reading the DA for updates!"




THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO LIBELOUS. IT HAS LIBEL/SLANDER WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I MUST TELL AVA'S FATHER OF HIS EVIL DAUGHTER'S BAD BEHAVIOR!

~Sabine

The surprise?

First of all...I hope everyone had a terrific Easter! I did!













Now for the SURPRISE(S)...






I got a gorgeous Easter dress:








AND...THERE ARE TWO NEW GIRLS! One is Malorie (a #14) and the other is Chrissa. Chrissa is obsessed (and I mean OBSESSED) with French. Here is a pic of us:


~Sabine

Waiting...

WHAT IS THIS SO-CALLED SURPRISE?????????? I've waited too long!
Hopefully, I'll find out tomorrow.
Nothing really new today...anyway....

~Sabine

P.S.- Liz made banana pudding today; it actually wasn't that bad.

THE PEANUT BUTTER GAME!!!!!!! *TRES DROLE*

lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JE SUIS DE TRÈS BONNE HUMEUR AUJOURD'HUI!!!!!!!! (I am in a good mood today)

Vous demandez pourquoi. (You ask why)

Je réponde....parce que...(I respond because...)

le jeu de beurre de cacahouètes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (THE PEANUT BUTTER GAME!!!!!!!!)

C'est très stupide, mais c'est drôle. (It's stupid, but it's funny!)

OK...so here is the story (also known as "The Secret Life of Crazy Americans #4)...

There was one piece of chocolate cake left; Ava, Liz, and I wanted it. Well, Liz decides that we should settle this by playing the peanut butter game.
I have never heard of it before...it's actually quite stupid (but so entertaining). So, the main objective of the game is to eat as much peanut butter as you can without getting a drink. If you get a drink, you're out. If you don't have to get a drink, you win. Even if you're the last person to get a drink, you're still out because you took a drink.
Anyway, I never had peanut butter before...tu sais...since we don't have that poop (Honestly, it's the worst stuff I've ever tasted!) in France.
I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO BE STICKY AND CLUMPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was the first one out!!!
Needless to say, NOBODY WON! Oh, and the heiresses split the piece of the yummy, double fudge chocolate cake (THAT I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WANTED!)!
I discovered that I HATE peanut butter and I NEVER WANT TO EAT IT AGAIN!

~Sabine Bouchard :)
(Oh, a surprise is coming later this week...keep checking my blog!)

The Secret Lives of Crazy Americans...A Never-Ending Story

HI!!!!!!!!! LONG TIME, NO POST!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm back. My lack of presence is due to a broken PC and busy-ness. Well, anyway, SABINE BOUCHARD IS BACK...with the latest dirt on the Secret Lives of Crazy Americans!

THE SECRET LIVES OF CRAZY AMERICANS...#1
Elizabeth Cole was so hungry. In fact, she was famished! She felt like death was approaching; that's how hungry she was. So...she decided to make instant stove top pudding. She put the mix in a pot and added water. Then, she rushed and placed the pot on the stove. After that, she turned the right front burner on with great haste. After all that stirring, the pudding was finally done. She took the pot of the stove and let it cool. But, OH NO! She realized that some of the chocolate pudding made its way on to the burner. Without turning the burner off, she went to clean it. And while she was cleaning, she burnt two of her fingers. Then....she cried.

*SAFETY NOTICE- Before you clean the stovetop, please make sure that the burners are off and that the stovetop isn't hot. Merci beaucoup.*

THE SECRET LIVES OF CRAZY AMERICANS...#2
Ava "accidently" pushed Nicki and Vicki down the steps. Nicki and Vicki whined and cried, then they tied Ava to a chair.

THE SECRET LIVES OF CRAZY AMERICANS...#3
Ava decided it would be fun to play a game called "Never Have I Ever". You hold up five (or ten) fingers. Then, the person asking says something like, "Never have I ever burnt my fingers while making pudding." If you did it, you put a finger down. If you didn't, keep it up. The person who has all fingers up is the winner.
Anyway, Ava and Liz took turns asking. They TRIED TO GET ME OUT! They kept saying stuff like, "Never have I ever been to North Carolina", "Never have I ever been to France", "Never have I ever spoken French", "Never have I ever had red hair", and "Never have I ever been a Miley Cyrus fan".

SEEEEEEE? THEY WERE BASICALLY INSULTING ME!!!!!!!!!!

~Sabine

Ces Américaines Folles...

Sooooooooooooo.....
You are probably wondering, "What did they do this time?"

Kailey and Hayley started this "fun" (I'm being sarcastic, bien sur!) program called F.I.T., which stands for Fitness is Terrific! It's a strenuous program with three stations- the push-up station, the treadmill station, and the dance-along station.
I ended up in the treadmill station. AMUSANT.
I couldn't keep my balance, so I fell and knocked Lilly over.
Nicki and Vicki HAAAAAAAAAAAD to hop on and PROVE how "fit" and what "great exercisers" they are. *groans* How annoying!

That's the latest. Pics will be up soon...just remind me.

~Sabine

Triste...

I feel horrible for Christelle. :(
Everybody has her all wrong.
No, she's not a snob. She may seem like one, but she's not. She is just sad...and lonely.
Most people are very cruel and mean to her, which I cannot stand. Yeah, she does come off as cold, but most French people do until you get to know them (whereas most Americans can talk like they've know each other forever...I don't mean that bad; I'm like that, too.)
Christelle misses Paris, her home, her family! (Paris, sa maison, et sa famille se manque!)
I think, that more than anything, Christelle might just need a friend.
I'm going to befriend Christelle. I AM!

~SABINE :) (MORE POWER TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

JE DETESTE LE VENT!

Last night, we experienced some HORRIFIC wind storms...with winds of 80 mph! C'etait fou!
We lost all of our electricity at 8 last night. Some siding came off the house. A neighbor's trampoline hit another neighbor's house. Our trampoline flipped over.
Anyway, we don't have any heat, so living in the basement is officially the worst. I hid in my room:

Liz is scared, so she gave me a hug, thinking I was Ava. An Elizabeth quote- "AVA! HUG! I'M SCARED! IT'S DARK...AND SOOOOOOOOO COLD!"

Le sous-sol a tres frois! J'ai frois aussi.

~A cold Sabine

Sept Choses (7 Things)

I Hate:
1. Getting in trouble for EVERY LITTLE THING (including nothing)
2. Having an evil twin sister who hates me
3. Forgetting to update my blog daily (Desolee...)
4. When people assume because I'm from France, I'm from Paris (LILLE IS A CITY, TOO)
5. Having a strict mother
6. The US educational system
7. Being made fun of by rude Americans (I'm a strong person...I can take it, it just annoys me)

I Love:
1. Having beautiful red hair
2. Being confident
3. My sense of humor
4. Being a twin (it makes me feel unique, lol)
5. Being able to record my deepest, most innerpersonal feelings in this blog

7. How I'm always ME!

Feel free to do a similar thing on your blog...it's actually a lot of fun to think up this stuff.

~Sabine :)

Moi et ma soeur...PICS

Sibling rivalry, haha!


^Notice the evil look in Sandrine's face.

Someone admit that I'm way prettier, lol. :)

Also, I've been OBSESSED with the song "Always Find Your Way Back Home" by Hannah Montana. I know, Ava, that you hate Hannah Montana...
Anyway, I feel like I can REALLY relate to it.

~Sabine :)

FOOTBALL AMERICAIN

NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT IT! (Look at title of post)
At first, when Riley (which is Miley's real name...Miley...er Riley is a #23) ask if I wanted to play tackle football, I thought she was talking about some odd version of soccer.
Then, I got placed on this team called "The Wimpy Crybabies". Seriously. I could have come up with a WAY better name than "The Wimpy Crybabies". We played against Kailey & Co.'s team...the "Terrible Tyrants" (Their team name holds true).
Anyway, the two Josefinas were on my team. One wore a helmet and tied pillows around her waist. I questioned that at first, but I know why she did.
Kailey came at me full throttle, knocked me over, and I got a bloody nose.
Je suis bonne...mais triste.
Kailey. Est. Mechante. (Kailey. Is. Evil.)
Grr...

~Sabine

Snow Days and other things...

The two Boss Ladies have been home from school for two days (merci beaucoup le niege)- Thursday & Friday. Anyway, more drama.

Alyson is having people report to her if anything bad is said about her. What's new, right?

I'm also going to attempt to go out in the snow today and Nellie will drag her camera along and take some pics. It's nice to have a photographer friend.

~Sabine

Sandrine's Blog

OK. I'm so mad I have to post this:
Sandrine's Blog (click)

~Sabine

PS...I'm WAY nicer!

Devoirs...

I have so much homework, it's not funny. I don't even know where to begin. I'll start with history.

Alyson, Ashley, and Alyssa have a new guest suite. It has a very high tech security camera. It knows EVERYTHING about you. Seriously. If you break into the room, an alarm will go off and you'll get sprayed with water. Très chouette...PAS!

Aussi, ma soeur (my sister) (qui est mechante-who is evil)is getting a blog. Parce que je suis gentille (because I'm nice) I'll post the link ASAP.

~Sabine

Lumières, Appareil-Photo, MOI!

Aujourd'hui....
I'm STARRING IN A COMMERCIAL!

I'm going to help advertise the amazing cardboard bed and...

GET LOST!
For those of you who are LOST as to what Get Lost is, it's a service that rids you of your enemy for a week by taking them on a "dream vacation".

The commercial will be posted soon.

~Sabine =)

La Chanson Pour Sam...

D'accord...voila!

La chanson de Sam

International pop sensation Samantha Kessolmen is having a hard time in Hollywood. She seems to be loosing fame at what she calls "an alarming rate". It's because she sings about black shoes called Pegs. I know it.
Anyway, I wrote this song for her to sing. She doesn't like it, but I'll make her.
I'll post it later..

Bonne Année!!!

Bonne Année mes amis!

I had an AWESOME TIME crashing cette fête! You should have seen them.

Ashley is really annoying. She called me strange because I said je déteste Alyson and that I'm not interested in looking at her clothes.

On the other hand, I stayed up all night!

Christelle, Ava, et Hayley ont regardé Talladega Nights aussi :)

~Sabine

Party crashin'!

I'm going to crash my first party along with Ava, Hayley, and Elizabeth.

That is, the Edwards' New Year's Eve sleepover.

I'm scared, but yet excited. Ava, Hayley, and Liz make it seem so exciting...and fun!

I will post results demain.

Bonne nuit,
~Sabine

Discover #3...

Baboons are freaky! (and très drôle...)

Ok...and....
Alyson, Ashley, and Alyssa are annoying. And they always color coordinate. OOOOH FUN!

Also.........I saw Sandrine yesterday...
Terrible!
She is about the meanest...still. She called me a brat and annoying. How am I an annoying brat?

~Sabine :)

Fearless/ Frustrating...

Bonjour, mes amis! I'm just chillin'!

Aujourd'hui J'ai écouté de la musique de Miley Cyrus. In my opinion, she is the only American singer worth listening to.

Aussi...
I'M BEING TORTURED BY TAYLOR! She made me go on this "roller coster". They buckle you to a sled, drag you up the steps, and then release. Liz thinks it's fun, but I was scared!
I'm happy that torture is over! Geesh...Americans and their idea of "fun"...

Discovery #2...

Cell phone cameras take REALLY BAD pictures. 

The human forgot her camera cord...so she decided to make due with cell phone pics! FUN!
The blonde in my pic is the other new girl, Alyssa Edwards. She is a BRAT like her cousins Alyson and Ashley. I'm actually assuming here. I don't know the Edwards girls, but I've read enough about them in tabloids to make an accurate guess.
Anyway, you finally got to see a photo of me. Whether you think I'm pretty or not, well, that's your decision. I just thought I'd finally post one.
~Sabine

Le Meullieur Noel!

Bonjour, tout le monde! C'est moi, Sabine! :)

C'est mon première Noël aux États-Unis. I'm now officially an OLN Girl!

So far, it has been AMAZING! I met sooooooooo many nice people, including heiress Alyson Edwards.(Okay, so I was kidding when I said nice...) I also met another French girl...Christelle Lacaux. She isn't too friendly; in fact, she has been keeping her distance from me. She is from Paris and she misses it terribly. I guess she takes her sorrow and anger out on everyone. That's at least what I have overheard from this super obnoxious blonde girl. Honestly, I heard this girl's voice before I saw her.

Americans are so loud.
To back this up, I saw one in a restaurant and she was flipping out because she spilled wine all over her white dress. It was somehow the waiter's fault, even if she was the one who spilled it. (She spilled it; I saw EVERYTHING.)

I want to leave a message for my family, if they keep up with my blog:
Je vous aime, Mère, Père, et Sébastien! :) Joyeux Noël! :)

Discovery #1...

For those with mothers like mine...
Give the middle-aged woman a break. She's doing the best that she possible can. And she does love you, through think and thin, easy times and hard times.

~Sabine

Spread the LOVE!

Spread the love this holiday: tell someone who is always mad at you that you love them. Let them know you're there. :)
Mère appreciated my "je t'aime" this morning.

Now...for the good news?

OK...so my life isn't TOTALLY depressing!

I went online today, after my homework, and was researching prestigious boarding schools in America. I came across one that seemed quite interesting...Pleasantview Private Boarding School. I received a weird brochure about this one in the mail. Apparently, they are looking for prestigious French students to study there for at least two years. After two years, your parents have to either a) pay for you to go there or b) take you out. (That means you have to go back to France.)

I, of course, told Mère that I wanted to go there because...

1. Lille is officially the most boring city in France.
2. There is nothing to do in Lille...anymore.
3. I want an adventure in my life.
4. Les États-Unis sont TRÈS BEAUX! (The US is very beautiful!)
5. I want to get away from trouble...a.k.a ma mère.

So she agreed. Père agreed to this, because they recognize that I am such a dreamer who longs for adventure and new things

love...
...a very happy Sabine Aurore Bouchard. :) :) :)

As the tears flow...

Mes amis,
I'm conducting this post through my tears.

Today is St. Nicholas Day. And I got switches. With a shiny silver bow on them. (Note that that shiny bow makes a very nice hair ribbon.)
Mère. It's all Mère. She despises me so much that she HAD to give me switches!
Père even agrees with me that this is wrong...and unfair...and unjust!
I'm so sick of Mère! Like I mentioned before, I can breath and get in trouble.
Now, for the "wonderful" feast Mère prepared...

~Sabine

Did I mention?
JE DETESTE MA MERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

St. Nicholas Day...

DEMAIN, C'EST..............
Oui, you guessed it, mes amis! ST. NICHOLAS DAY! I'm very excited.
I will leave my favorite shiny black shoes out, in hopes for something good. :)
I can't wait!

Mere is also preparing a TRES FABULEUX dinner...which probably involves maroilles. Oh well. I don't care. I will say I am not looking forward to seeing my family and having that drama. My cousins are evil.

That's all for now!

Bisous!

~Sabine :D

Why is it...

I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW! If Sandrine were here...I'd rip all of her hair out! Figuratively. However, she'd

Why is it exactly that I get in trouble for the most random things? Answer this one for me, amis!

As I put it...simply narrowing it down to terms that one such as myself can understand:

1. I get in trouble for random things.
(ex. Today I accidentally dropped my books on the ground. Mere thought otherwise. It was an accident, I swear.)

2. I get in trouble for talking.
(ex. "Mère, je t'aime! Bonne nuit!"- moi.
"Sabine, dors."- Mère)

3. I get in trouble for existing.
(ex. Me sitting down at the table, doing my homework QUIETLY! (Quietly is the key word here, mes amis!) Then Mère comes in- "Sabine, SHUT UP AND BEHAVE!")


Je veux de nouvelle vie!!!!!!!!!!

Oui, j'adore ma vie...
But I'm sick of it. I'm sick of Mère. I'm sick of getting in trouble. I'm not a bad kid!


Bonne nuit, amis.
~Sabine :'(

Grr....

I have so much homework that I want to hurt someone, particularly my mom.
Plus, I was grounded from the computer because Mère had to sign my carnet again. I did NOTHING wrong to my knowledge, anyway. I just told this one guy who has serious anger management issues that is German was terrible...which, I mean, it was. He then got angry and decided to pound his fists on the desk, yank my hair, and scream some profanity. There was no way I deserved that. He had to have his carnet signed, too, for his behavior. The only reason I believe mine had to be signed was because I was the "instigator".
I apparently instigate a lot of things, like fights with my mom. Today was just another day in which I felt my freedom was being taken from me. I want a life of my own...one that doesn't involve my mom or even my twin sister. I'm so happy that Sandrine isn't even here right now. She would have made things far worse for me and claim that I embarrassed her for having to have my carnet signed. Well, hypocrite. She had to get hers signed ALL THE TIME- mainly for her attitude problem and the fact she rarely did her homework.
I have to go eat dinner now...but that was the daily event in my ever-so fabulous life.

~Sabine :)

What did I do today?

Ma mère encore...
She made me run ERRANDS. Like the boring kind. She made me go down to the fromagerie and buy 2 kilograms of maroilles. (Yeah, like we are going to eat 2 kg of that garbage.)
Don't get me wrong. J'aime le fromage. Mais maroilles? Let's just say this...quand j'avais six ans...IT MADE ME THROW UP! Mère likes to snack on it.
I guess I should be used to its taste now, but I'm not.
Oh. And I got in trouble.
Mère had to sign my carnet again. 3rd time this week. She doesn't understand this, but I'm technically not a bad girl. Je suis...um... très difficile...quelquefois...
It's not like I did anything bad. It was nothing compared to the things Sandrine says to her ballet instructors.
I also would like to let everyone know that monsieur directeur is a TRÈS GENTIL guy once you get to know him. :)
We also learned about the guillotine today. All of the boys got in trouble for making jokes related to it.
