'''Proving Science Wrong''' is a collection of several [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|Lonelygirl15 videos]] in which [[Bree]] debunks various scientific theories in a satirical / dadaist fashion.

==The PSW videos==

# [[Proving Science Wrong!]]
# [[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]]
# [[The Tolstoy Principle (and Dad "talks" to Daniel)]]
# [[Daniel The Neanderthal]]
# [[Proving Longitude Wrong]]

==Other scientific videos==
In a number of videos, Bree also shares information from her research, or tells intellectual stories about academic topics.
* [[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!]]
* [[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)]]
* [[A Peace Offering (and P. Monkey Boogies)]]
* [[Poor Pluto]]
* [[What Makes Us Sad?]]
* [[Spring Break Sucks]]
* [[1500 Miles]] (from Jonas)
* [[Proceed with Caution]] (from Alex)
* [[The Serum]] (from Spencer)

==PSW by Friends==
*[[Proving Science Wrong- Zeno's Paradox]] from [[Paulmark18|Paul and Andrea]].

==Notes==
*Bree never technically proves any scientific principal wrong, but in some of the PSW videos, she doesn't even seem to fake it.
*It would seem odd that Bree is fixated on the idea of proving science wrong when many of her heroes seem to be scientists, but by never actually disproving anything, she indirectly helps confirm it.
*[[Jonas]] seems to be very interested in the Proving Science Wrong series, but Bree hasn't made any since long before she and [[Daniel]] met Jonas. However, some of Jonas's video's titles are references to Proving Science Wrong.
*Jonas gave Bree some National Geographic magazines for Christmas so that she would have some new material for "Proving Science Wrong," but she has yet to utilize the new material. Bree specifically mentioned Egypt (on the cover of the top magazine) and that she had never used Geography for PSW, but that it can probably be proven wrong like anything else.
*[[Taylor]] seems to be parodying the PSW series when she implies that she is starting the "[[Like A Virgin|De-constructing Jonas]]" series.

Phorum

[[Image:PhorumEyes.jpg|thumb|200px|This screen capture of Bree was placed atop every page of the original phorum. The eerie close-up of Bree's eyes unnerved many members of the phorum.]]

The '''Phorum''' was the name of the original Web forums on [[Bukanator]]'s original fan site at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. Phorum was the name of the software used to power the message boards, which debuted on July 16th, 2006. The term Phorum was used somewhat derisively, as the boards were poorly moderated.

During the month of August 2006, fans began to register at the site and discuss the mystery surrounding lonelygirl15. The lonelygirl videos had gotten popular enough that it had become difficult for fans to discuss the videos amid the comments on YouTube. Toward the end of August, hundreds of fans had registered on the Phorum discussion boards. The lonelygirl saga had attracted a wide array of fans, from YouTubers and bloggers, to journalists such as [[Virginia Heffernan]] and [[Richard Rushfield]], people in the entertainment industry, marketers, occultists and others who had been sucked into the [[Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree|the hunt for Bree.]]

Because lonelygirl15.com was known to have been registered on May 12th, 2006, before the videos started, most fans assumed that the site was being monitored. Many users at the site were concerned about sock-puppets and trolls who were supposedly posting false information to obscure the truth behind lonelygirl15. This led a group of users, who would come to be known as the [[Phorum 3]] to talk outside the Phorum via instant messages and develop a plan to trace IP addresses. The false-information controversies included a mysterious poster known as "[[t]]", who claimed to know who was behind the lonelygirl15 project, and posted "clues" about Bree's identity starting on August 31st, 2006, which all turned out to be false.

As the number of users grew, the Phorum became increasingly unreadable, and flame wars became more common. For example, [[Jessica]] of the Phorum 3 engaged in heated and lengthy debates with impish [[BigManOnCampus333]] over nothing much in particular. Frustrated with Bukanator's lack of moderation, a group of fans set up a new forum, [[The Children of Anchor Cove]], on Sept. 4. Most fans left the Phorum. The administrators of Lonelygirl15.com eventually took down the Phorum and replaced it with more sophisticated forum software.

Many members of The Children of Anchor Cove still refer to the forums at lonelygirl15.com as the Phorum.

==Revelations==
To its credit, the Phorum was also where many revelations that eventually led to the outing of the [[the Creators]] and [[Jessica Lee Rose]] were first posted and dissected.

'''That information includes:'''
* On August 28, poster [[Flwright]], an architect, opined that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, which turned out to be true.<br>
* On August 29 a report of a botanist that the Hiking video had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.<br>
* On August 30, the initial findings of the Phorum 3 linking lonelygirl15 to "San Mateo - Mountain View" California were posted, though their methods were kept secret. Also, a poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new Swimming video to southern California.<br>
* On September 1, poster scdgoofy revealed that Kenneth Goodfried, an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21st, 2006.<br>

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 , however, as Sarah showed up instead, scaring the trio by saying she had a gun on Daniel's back, and demanding the camera be shut off.

During the "blackout," Sarah apparently explained herself, and revealed that the "gun" on Daniel was in reality a tube 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, she was never very concerned with knowing the full story, having said (on [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?p=362812&highlight=#362812|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 [http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=181223773&blogID=266875526&MyToken=0ee00b4b-bbff-4712-b86a-f1911362e63d] about it on her Myspace and later posted pictures [http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=181223773&blogID=267163142&MyToken=ba91b086-b67c-4ffa-b274-67cd4e762a2f], 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 [http://www.lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?p=367189&highlight=#367189] 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 [[CAMP PLAY|in California]].

Sarah overtly and aggressively pursued Daniel in a romantic and/or sexual context. Although Daniel was initially hostile toward her, he soon warmed up to Sarah and began to responding to her overtures toward him. However, Sarah soon became annoyed that Daniel was taking things too seriously and had become clingy.[http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=181223773&blogID=283146234] This small rift between the two began to grow when Sarah accidentally dropped Issac Gilman's files [[All Wet|in the water]]. While Sarah claimed it was an accident, Daniel soon believed 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 [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 11 of 12 â 6 pm|''"Daniel was always yours . . ."'']], and that she couldn't "compete with a ghost."

Soon after [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 10 of 12 â 5 pm|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 seemed to no longer care who she dated, though Taylor argued that she still harbored feelings for Daniel. She had also returned to showing her distaste of video blogging.

Although at first, Sarah [[Revealing My Secret|lied]] saying she had lost the serum which Daniel and Jonas requested for [[Emma]], Sarah returned to help TAAG when she saw that the they [[Shadow of Death|truly]] needed her help. She began to develop a [[Go For It :)|relationship]] with Emma and helped her when she wanted to make her own [[Decision Time|decisions]] about becoming trait negative.

After helping Emma escape back to her parents, Sarah moved into a [[The rented house|rented house]] with Daniel and Jonas, making it obvious that she was bothered by Daniel's new girlfriend, [[Mallory]]'s constant [[Living with Girls|presence]] in their new home. That may also be the reason why she took the opportunity to leave the house by [[Stakeout... With A Girl|going on a stakeout with Jonas]]. Although she [[How Could You? (season 2)|made very clear]] she considered it stupid to go to LaRezisto with Emma, there was nothing she could do from home, so she helped Daniel with his [[Student Film]] instead, [[My School Project|playing the role of Rebecca]]. She also [[No More Lies|vowed to be more honest]] in the future, but when she [[Secrets Revealed|tried to tell Mallory the truth about Daniel]] (probably willfully accepting the possibility she might break up with him afterwards), she learned that Daniel had already come forward to her, making for an awkward moment, and leading to even more hostility towards Mallory. When her suspicions about LaRezisto were confirmed, and Emma was gone, [[That Arrogant Jerk!|she was reasonably angry]], and even went as far as questiong Jonas's honesty as a whole.

Having been left at home once more, Sarah, out of necessity, spent some more time with Mallory, helping her with [[Please Help|the contest to re-cut Daniel's film]] and [[Carving Pumpkins]] with her. After the guys returned, however, she and her opinion were, once again, [[Tailgating|disrespected]]. After [[Behind The Bushes|Daniel screamed at her]] and he, Jonas, and Sonia didn't even ask her to come along to save the [[Ceremony baby]], Sarah [[Battle of the Sexes|openly voiced her opinion that the guys were sexist]]. This, however, only brought her mockery from Jonas and Daniel, which she [[They Beat Her!!!|called unfair]].

Showing her own deceptive side, and, once again, seeding [[Slow Down and Stare|trouble in paradise]], Sarah later [[A Woman's Touch|talked Mallory into]] having direct contact (as close as butt-touching and kissing) with [[Chris]], in order to get information about Emma out of him. This failed, however, as the seemingly important information they got, only led them to [[What's Going on?|a joint venture presentation]], where they barely escaped Lucy and some [[Wyman Foundation|Wyman]] security personnel.

==Attitude==
Sarah's attitude has changed a lot during her presence in the series; originally a dark emo/gothic type of character with an extremely slutty side (which, according to Taylor, was "totally an act"), she has lately been seen to be a lot more optimistic, reflecting in a more colorful set of clothes.

As of the time of this writing, her main problem has shifted from the world being doomed to the fact that the guys seems to be utterly sexist. She is vocally upset about that, and determined to prove that she's just as good as either of them is. If not better.

==Notes==
* As Sarah currently has no Youtube account, she uses Taylor's [http://www.youtube.com/soccerstar4ever] 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 [[relationships#Sarah and Jay|relationship]] with a boy named Jay. This is believed to be a reference to LGPedia admin [[User:JayHenry|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 [[Getting Her Back|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 ×©Ö¸××¨Ö¸× (Saray), but God changed it (Genesis 17:15). [http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=sarah].
