I just figured out how to change my profile picture, so I changed it to me and my pony.
If i stand too close I might fall in but if I’m too far gone I’ll never win. If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again.
Games tonight were excellent.

I do believe I’m on top of the world right now.
FIrst off. The guitar. He’s fixed! So happy, I didn’t want to have to dish out big bucks to pay him and replacing was definitely not an option. But I took it up to Jackson and was like yo I’ve got a dead fret so he played with it a but, moved the neck and voila! Perfecto. The guy was super nice to, we talked about...

Plans at the barn totally fell through today. The guys wanted to go eat after school and I def wanted to go so I agreed assuming no one would be out there till around five anyways cause thats just how it is. But, when I got out there, I was the only one. So, i got Toast out and lunged him inside since it was so windy and all. He was fabulous, especially since one of the crazy mares lunged at him...
School was blah today. Didn’t really feel like it but such is life. I even had done all of my homework (minus read) but none of it got taken up. After school I went to the barn. Just got on Toast for a quick ride. Really working on moving him off my inside leg. We did lots of circles, and serpentines and constantly changed directions. Then I made him pick up his leads in strange places and...
I dunno why but something just inspired me to looks at Auburn’s website and I actually think I might wanna go to college there. They have all of the Majors/Minors I’m interested in, and there’s always the option of the equestrian team, and being able to keep the Toast man on campus. I hate hate hate the fact that I’d be about 115 miles away from Atlanta and Birmingham. I...
Just got home from the barn. Glad I got that over with. The weather was weird, you can tell there’s some sort of front coming in, making all the horses kinda crazy so I was super nervous to be lessoning Katy since the weather conditions were pretty much the same as when she lost it last week. But she was absolutely fabulous! The second time I cantered her she kinda exploded but I just gave...
I can’t believe this weeks already over. School was super boring today. Nothing special. I want the seniors to get their lounge back. I think they’re managing to punish us more than them. Ah well, only one more day, and I do believe they have senior lunch so it’ll be cool. Went to the barn this evening. Had a quick hack on Toasty. I need to beat his butt and get him bending...
Listen
Quick post before I take a shower.
School was fun and generally more productive than usual today. I even payed attention in history. Plus after lunch we got to chill outside the lab because there was a teacher conference so I pulled out the laptop and we jammed some Beatles. (not to mention the weather was glorious)
Finally got out to the barn. Didn’t lesson Katy like planned since I...
So I’ve pretty much decided I’m frustrated with my riding beyond all belief. I needed to ride twice the weekend and did it happen. Of course not. I’m sucking without lessons, and its only making me that much more scared to ride. I just wanted to have the arena to myself, and work as I please. I don’t wanna go out this week at all with Shelly because she’ll want me to...
Not in a a good mood. Mother just woke me up to tell me she couldn’t take me to the barn, she’s going to the hospital. And I get that, i do, its much more important than the ponies. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t piss me off. So frustrated. So so frustrated. I’m motivated to ride, I wanna work hard and accomplish something, but I just can’t seem to get out...

Today was such a lazy day. I haven’t done much. Went to the barn as planned since Katy is in boot camp but since it was raining I rode inside which was kinda a fail. She’s just not in enough shape yet nor has the correct muscles to canter in small circles, so we only did one circle at the canter but we trotted alotttt to get her energy out. Then I really didn’t wanna bother...

ANNNNND speaking of friends - Lindsey, Alli, Taylor & Allie …we ought to get together sometime soon? I haven’t seen you guys in what feels like forever.
Yes! I’m free tomorrow, idk about you guys though, but we could do something then?
I am quite free tomorrow, so sounds good for me. (:
That should work for me. I do need to ride the...
So today was pretty swell. Schools not bad, I’m starting to want to learn more so yay for that? I swear I’d actually try if I had all the time in the world. Then I went to the barn since it was gonna be nice. Rode both ponies but something strange was up tonight. Every single horse was kinda freaking out. In fact, they freaked out to such a wonderful point that I freaking fell off...
So…I’m not going to school today. School is still on but Brittany’s mother went to check out the road in front of the school and its just a sheet of ice so my mommy doesn’t want me to go. In all actuality I wasn’t happy about that but my mother promised we’d go to Atlanta, and I’m gunna go to the barn, so I won’t be bored to death!
Can’t sleep. Read. Watched House. Read some more and listened to some zeppelin. Started watching a Criminal Minds I watched four hours ago. Watched some youtube videos. Currently typing this then finishing Criminal Minds. Screw insomnia.
So I’m a loser an actually pretty stoked that I have school tomorrow. BUT we have a two hour delay so I get my sleep and we don’t have to make it up. I’m down with this. I hate just sitting at home and accomplishing nothing. I sit on the computer and play guitar and thats it. On occasion I read. I need to get back into the habit of list making. It makes ,e feel so productive...
I have just come to the wonderful realization that I can leave my other guitar tuned down a half step. A whole new world of songs would be open to me without bothering with the tuning. We’re talking The Audition, Humans by the Scene Aesthetic, a considerable amount of Hit The Lights- the list goes on and on.
It is...
a baked potato.
Just got a call from the mountain…NO SCHOOL TOMORROW.
I flippin’ love snow days. And I love when it start snowing at school and we all run outside to play in it. Hopefully it won’t be too terrible tomorrow and my mother will let me drive somewhere. Plus I have nothing homework-wise to do except for read a book, and that really isn’t homework if you ask me. Then hopefully...
I went to the barn today! And although it was chilly it wasn’t downright miserable I got things done. I was dreading having a lesson on either pony since I hadn’t ridden either of them since last Tuesday but as soon as I walked into the barn Shelly was all like yay you can lesson Katy today!!! And its not like you can tell the horses owner no so I went to grab her and she was being a...
First day back=success. I got out of bed, made it to school on time (ten minutes early,) finished/turned in my project, and came home and did my homework first thing. Thats the way to do it. You know, I think I love the cold. As miserable as it is if you’re out there for an extensive amount of time its so refreshing, energizing. On the other hand, when was the last time I rode my horse. Oh...
