Videos with Sarah

Sarah is the sister of Taylor. Taylor first mentions and talks about her in the video Practice Sucked :(. She was also referenced several times on Taylor's MySpace. They both live in Zavalla, Texas.

Background

Bree, Daniel, and Jonas met Sarah at a park in Crazy Emo Chick, which marked Sarah's first appearance on video. Sarah's behavior in this encounter was clearly more mischievous than Taylor had earlier implied.

As far as anyone can tell from the video, the original plan was for Bree, Daniel, and Jonas to meet Taylor a local park. The plan soon changed for unknown reasons, however, as Sarah showed up instead, scaring the Trio by faking she had a gun on Daniel's back. Before anyone was the wiser, she demanded the camera be shut off.

During the "blackout," Sarah apparently explained herself, and revealed that the "gun" on Daniel was in reality a stick of lipstick. Sarah also had another chance to surprise Daniel and subsequently "pantsed" him. Needless to say, Daniel's first impression of Taylor's sister wasn't friendly.

While Sarah's been willing to help the Trio, she hasn't been too concerned knowing the full story, having said (on the in-character chat), "to be perfectly honest I sort of zoned after "and then they made me perform a fake ceremony to fool Daniel." Nevertheless, she was disappointed to see Daniel and Jonas leave Texas.

As graduation came closer, Sarah decided to go to a party with her friends. She blogged [1] about it on her Myspace and later posted pictures [2], which Taylor considered offensive. She was so offended that she titled her next video blog, My Sister = Slut.

After Taylor apologized for being insulting, Sarah had a talk with their mother, which according to Taylor [3] sounded like, she was trying to convince mom to let her go somewhere. The following morning, Sarah left, only to reappear days later alongside Daniel and Jonas in California.

Sarah overtly and aggressively pursued Daniel in a romantic and/or sexual context. Although Daniel was initially hostile toward her after their first meeting, the summer revealed he had warmed up to Sarah and began to responded to her overtures toward him. However, Sarah soon became annoyed that Daniel was taking things too seriously and had become clingy.[4] This small rift between the two began to grow when Sarah accidentally dropped Issac Gilman's files in the water. While Sarah claimed it was an accident, Daniel soon beleived her actions were deliberate.

Sarah's relationship with Daniel became further strained as she soon realized that Daniel remained concerned about Bree's safety. Frustrated, Sarah admited to Daniel that she herself didn't care about Bree and that she only cared about Daniel and her sister, Taylor.

When Sarah witnessed Daniel's grief caused by Bree's death, she shouted to Bree that "Daniel was always yours . . .", and that she couldn't "compete with a ghost."

Soon after Bree's death, Sarah & Taylor returned to Zavalla, Texas where Sarah returned to her old promiscuous ways, as noted by Taylor in Sluttiness Prevails. Sarah no longer cares who she goes out with (though Taylor would argue that she still harbors feelings for Daniel), and she's returned to showing her distate of videoblogging.

Attitude

Sarah enjoys the persona of a pessimist of sorts with a sarcastic side, having been quoted by Taylor as saying, The world is suffering, Taylor. Deal with it.

According to Taylor, Sarah wasn't always so angry and morbid. In fact in her freshman year of high school, she was a cheerleader. Her pessimism apparently began soon after her parents split up. As Taylor claims, "it's totally an act."

Notes

  • As Sarah currently has no Youtube account, she uses Taylor's [5] account to post videos.
  • According to Taylor, Sarah has a pet ferret who, according to a blog on her MySpace, is named Colossus, after a book. The book in question is most likely a collection of poetry by Sylvia Plath.
  • Her age is unknown, but from her MySpace blogs, she appears to be a high school student. Taylor mentions in the video I Know What Boys Like that in freshman year Sarah was a cheerleader, and in her blog, she says talks about the prom and graduation, implying that she just completed her senior year.
  • Many of Sarah's gestures carry sexual connotations; initial opening of her shirt, showing her leg flexibility, rolling her tongue, and tying a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue. This trend of sexual openness is prevalent throughout the series.
  • In her blog she talks frequently about her relationship with a boy named Jay. This is believed to be a reference to LGPedia admin JayHenry, also known as JayHank.
  • She has an affinity for doughnuts. "I like doughnuts" is a phrase she uses often. In her blog she also mentions she is sad because there is no doughnut store by the new cabin after they rescue Bree.

Etymology

Sarah means "lady" or "princess" in Hebrew. It was the name of Abraham's wife in the Old Testament. She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was once שָׂרָי (Saray), but God changed it (Genesis 17:15)." [6]
