TEMPORARY HIATUS

Sorry guys... I'm not deleting anything, which means I might return some time soon...

Hello dears!

So, I think it was about time to update this profile, which, by the way, is something I am terrible at.

Well, name's Sarah. AdFinemAdInfinitum is a latin quote (back from the days I could actually undestand it) which means, roughly, To the end (of the page) and to Infinity.

I am from Greece and currently in college majoring in English Literature.

The love I have for charming, clever plotlines (either it is a book, a tv show or a play) is borderline pathological.

Whoever said that the problem with reality is the lack of background music is, in my opinion, a genius and as an answer to his prays we have the ipod.

I am in general a lonely person who strongly believes people cannot survive without other people. I am also a person who constantly contradicts herself.

Some ancient philosopher said that there are two opinions in every matter, commpletely opposite and equally correct. I would have to agree.

Which brings me to my next big love: Quotes.

I adore intelligent and humorous quotes. But not the kind of thing you're likely to see in a ten year old's diary. I think quotes like "Love is not finding someone you can live with. It is fininding someone you can't live without." belong in kid's diary and should stick strictly to it.

People who have not tried watching anime or reading manga should hesitate no longer. The same goes for people who have not tried Agatha Christie's detective stories, Jane Austen's romances and Harry Potter.

Well, i suppose that's enough for the moment.

Stay well.

18) "Ron is the most immature of the three main characters, but in part seven he grows up.

But it's exactly that which makes Ron a man." - J. K. Rowlings about Ron Weasley.

It's not much of a wisdom quote but i happened to read a story where Ron acts like and total jerk and dumps Hermione so that she can hook up with Malfoy.

29) We sneered at each other across the desk for a moment. He sneered better than I did. - Raymond Chandler

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. - Gilda Radner

37) What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. -T. S. Elliot

38) To certain people there comes a day
when they must say the great Yes or the great No.
He who has the Yes ready within him
immediately reveals himself, and saying it he goes

against his honor and his own conviction.
He who refuses does not repent. Should he be asked again,
he would say No again. And yet that No -
the right No - crushes him for the rest of his life.

- By C. P. Cavafy

AdfinemAdinfinitum – normal letters

Brooke73- bolds

So having decided to make my profile just a little longer (as if it wasn't long enough) I made up my mind to write a small entry in association with one of my most famous friends brooke73. Famous?? Whatever Sar... But you're free to call her Bi. No you're not. Well actually you're free from me, she'd probably kill you if she knew. I know you bakka!! You're just unstoppable no matter what! Oh stop you're making me blush. What other choice do I have? I'm surrounded by... I cannot even characterise you... Awesome people? Feel free to gag...

Which brings me to my second point. The fact that I will be making some amazing -or amazingly stupid- comments that she will be commenting back to. Oh please! So keep an eye for the bolds that will be added soon. Already being added, love.

We've just finished our university entrance exams (which will only be so if we -and by we I mean I- will make it to university) and we've got tons of free time to spare on profiles no one bothers to read. So, you guys, we have been reading at her A/N for the past couple of months our dear Sar whining about the exams and the time consuming habit of writing, like she didn't enjoy it! I come forth to inform you she did great, no matter what she says. Do not believe her!

Please do not fill people up with false expectations. She thinks that just because she aced it everyone did. I did not ace. I kinda sucked. But who cares! You nailed it! And don't you dare doubt me or I'm so hitting you. She thinks violence quotes work on me. Pff… (they so do but don't tell!). You know I'm right here, right...? I’m trying to ignore it, but yeah.

But enough with the intros. Today's topic will be me. This is gonna be fun... Hahahaha. No kidding. That's what happens when you've got a very violent person next to you giving suggestions about topics. It's so obvious she's talking about me... I'm so proud!!! No. Since it is I who writes first, the topic will be 'ways to act like a complete idiot in school'. Plenty, we both have, must I say. Because that's what we do. No. That's what we are. That's what defines us as human beings. Said the philosopher.

So both of us will give some ideas. I start.
For those of you who still go to school (on your faces - !!!! Girl, you are soooooo mean! Just because we finished, or you, idk about me...doesn't mean everyone else has! Wait...you already know so...whatever…) here's some graduates' (we did graduate didn't we Bi? - speak for yourself Sar! But even you graduate on the 20th, so no, not yet ) wisdom.

Lesson 1: When you want to say something bad about a professor in school…just don't! He's bound to hear it.
The school is a huge place filled with noisy teenagers who do all sorts of dangerous stuff professors have to stop during recess. Still, by some joke of nature whenever you feel like pointing out one or two of the faults we all know they have, they will be right over your head, behind you, in the door of the classroom or out of the toilets waiting just to glare at you meaningfully.
Yes it has happened to me. It is in fact rumoured that I am the only person to whom it happens every single time.
Take that time last year for instance. I was peacefully sitting in the classroom with my friends (windows open, curtains closed) explaining just how big a hag one of my female professors was, when suddenly, the curtains opens and guess who was behind it with her haggish looks?
People, she is sooo right!!! I mean, you have nooooo idea! She is real unlucky, so it could just be her fault (no it isn't Sar! You know how much I love you... – Bi always feels this urgent need to declare her love for me every time she says something bad, I on the other hand…) but it happens every effing time! And it has happened to me to... Bad experience, awful feeling, bitchy teacher.
So yeah, bad idea. Terrible idea.

You could always talk bad about them outside school, at your houses etc., at a far place! Same lies for classmates. Once I was unlucky enough to start a discussion about the worst person in the class (in the world better yet) early in the morning (she is ALWAYS late, the bitch I was talking about) and for that single day, she decides to come on time and open the door at the moment we were talking... well, not so nice about her. She already knew our opinions, but still!!!! She didn’t know my opinion. But sure as hell she found out that day. To which I’d like to point out that it was me she heard talking. So yeah...

Ok, Lesson 2: When one of your classmates passes you a note which says to look at the footprints on the ceiling, don't!
There are never footprints on the ceiling. School ceiling are not constructed thus. Though I have to admit passing the note on and seeing most people in the classroom looking up stupidly was a laugh.
This never happened in my class...But seriously, don't look up.

Lesson 3: Antigone (character from Greek mythology) would never say a quote like 'the power of beer'.
If you happen to hear your professor (who is currently reading the dialogues of an ancient Greek tragedy in class) saying such a thing just ignore it. You're still sleeping.
My bf with whom I share the same desk still remembers the day I suddenly jumped up from my slumber and asked her 'what has the power of beer got to do with Antigone?'.
You cannot even imagine! Yes, she picks the best classes to sleep (it's so quiet in that lesson, everyone is sleeping already...) and her reactions are just priceless!!!! I should have this on video, damn... Always pay attention before you talk. That's why I suggest you keep silent. Thanks…that really helped enhance my confidence.

Lesson 4: Never piss off the physical education instructor.
Those people are seriously sadistic creatures. I have never so far met a decent one. I am quite certain that their aim in life is to see teenagers get humiliated. Plus have you noticed that gymnastics is always either the first or the last class of the day? So you're either too sleepy or too tired to run. It's a well-planned conspiracy I tell you.
If you dream of being a gymnast please reconsider.
I do believe we can all recover such memories form the gym class...Come on, don't lie to us, we know already and we have been through the same. As much as I wish not to let you down, Sar, those tiny creatures from Mars are not involved, neither is Osama-Bin. I always thought you’d be in first-name basis with well-known terrorists... just saying. So sorry to let you down, love.

Lesson 5: Don't bring food that makes noise while you eat it in class. You're not supposed to eat in class and blah blah. What should I do if I'm hungry dude? You should have what I call "the silent food". Is that really a term- silent food? No packaging, no crispy stuff, small pieces. No flammable ingredients… kidding. And attention is needed, of course, if you don't want to get caught. I’d suggest chocolate. It can be cut to small pieces and it just melts in your mouth, you don’t even need to chew.

Lesson 6: If you have a stupid song stuck in your head, don't mention it to anyone. As soon as you finally forget about it a mean enough person will be found to remind it to you and then...Bye peace of mind once again... Kids are cruel. Well, you’re protesting cause all the songs that you sing are awful.

Lesson 7: Too bored in a class? Start a question of the day game.

Get a piece of paper and write a stupid question on it, such as... "Why are cows so fat, since all they eat is grass? " or something, answer it with an equally stupid answer and pass it to the person next to you, who will answer and then pass along. Request to get it back when everyone has answered. It is awesome to watch everyone react to the question and try to be inspirational in order to answer. Hilarious!

That sounds so cool. You’ve done that in your class? So jealous!

Lesson 8: If you want to listen to music from your mp3, you MUST have long hair. No skin-coloured headphones won't do the trick if you have short hair. Are there skin coloured headphones? Wow! And remember to keep it down! It'd be better if you only had one headphone on, the teacher may call you and you will look like a loser if you don't answer... Hah… who cares… professors are bigger losers anyway.

There will be more advice shortly.

Keep an eye!
