I can ride my bike with no handle bars. No handle bars. No handle bars. I can ride my bike with no handle bars. No handle bars. No handle bars. Look at me, Look at me. Hands in the air like its good to be. Alive and I'm a famous rapper, even when the paths are all crookedy. I can show you how to dosey doe. I can show you how to scratch a record. I can take apart the remote control, and I can almost put it back together. I can tie a knot in a cherry stem. I can tell you about Leif Ericson. I know all the words to De Colores. And I'm proud to be an American. Me and my friends saw a platypus, me and my friends made a comic book, and guess how long it took.
This is a song I heard a LONG time ago. Maybe, three or four years ago? I don't know. All I remember is that it was before my sister left for college. We were in my parents bedroom, cleaning maybe, and she was playing it from her IPod. Since then, all I've been able to remember from the song was, "I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars, no handle bars." Then she left the house when she was 17 (she was in her senior year early), but that was two years ago. It was actually quite peaceful after she left.
My sister, Kristen, was not even close to a saint. She wasn't very far from one either, though. We would fight, so much, but we stopped when she was 16 or 15 I think. I remember how she was so good with make up, and one time we were home alone and decided to do a prank on our parents. She made it look like I had a black eye! Then we got water and made it seem like we were crying. My dad didn't buy it for a second though.
Oh, I bet your wondering why I'm saying my dad.. Well, I'm really Kristen's step sister. Trust me, we look nothing alike. She told me she'd never call me a step sister, and I won't ever call her one either. Her dad and our mom married, had my sister 19 years ago, and after a while I guess they split up. Then our mom married my dad, then they had me 13 years ago...
I love my sister, her two other baby sisters, her dad and step mom. I also love my mom and dad, and my brother who just so happens to be a German Shepard. ;)

I'm probably not going to do anymore posts until the first day of school and a day between now and then. I start school the 27th of August so one more week of staying up late and sleeping until noon. Love you all. ~ Sarah Smiles XOXO
