So, life is ok. This weekend is homecoming, an event that should be boring but is celebrated by mad drunkeness across campus. Whee? Naw, pretty much everyone goes to this one street where everyone gets drunk and goes crazy. I think I shall be in my room all weekend, lol. I'm very happy I am on a substance free floor full of nerds like me.
School's going bad. I expected my marks to drop and while they aren't bad (we haven't done much that's gotten marked) the few things I have done have been major fails. I tend to not stress about stuff but I still need to get better working habits I guess.
I've barely done any art as well; though yesterday I did paint up the fresian horse and start a drawing of Jazil. I left some viscose out to curl (wrapped around paint brushes and soaked in spray) but I did buy some more lamb fur so might just wait for that. (the fresian NEEDS curly hair.)
I'm thinking of holding another contest but I'm not sure. The theme would either be to draw any of my chars or to draw a scene from the story. I'm leaning toward the first one, but it seems bland so I'd probably throw something else in there, like draw my characters to lyrics or something like that. There'd be sculpture prizes as well as maybe drawings, but I don't know. I was trying to think of something else to offer but I can't think of anything cool. I was thinking art supplies, like some sculpey or something, but its probably dumb for me to offer something I can't afford to buy half the time.
So yeah, any suggestions with that would be good. I've been in a very blah mood lately and should do some perking up work. ALTHOUGH I'm going horseback riding on sunday, how awesome is that? I haven't been on a horse in almost a year. It's english jumping lessons too, which I haven't done in like 3 years. Exciting! Yet the mass of physics and chem kinda put a downer on the weekend.
It's so sad right now, math and physics are my favorite courses...I like them so much more than bio and chem. It's so backwards since I'm never taking calc or physics again, just more different chem and bio classes. Gah! Stupid school.
I pretty much have lots of inspiration but no time to do anything. I mean look at all this:
Gah. I fail. Not to mention all the drawing ideas too.
Oh yeah I made a new icon, but it sucks. I was sick of looking at the other one

Well, 3 month subs aren't very expensive, and they're nice for most people, too! You can see. and it's great that you go riding again! Have fun
and thanks, I'm excited about it!
I'm going to ride my first jumping competition with my pony sunday
I know I'm babbling but I guess that shows how excited I am to be riding at a school again. The last while I've just ridden my own horse around how I want which is fun but gets bland
I hope you and your pony do well, I'm sure you'll have fun!
I will have fun, indeed
You have a horse? Please tell me about it? I'd love to hear!
And I know, horselovers always babble when the talking is about horses. I do exactly the same thing
we got our horse (me and my mom) in july of 2005. he was a 3 year old racehorse but broke his knee and his owner was a complete asshole and wouldn't pay for 6 months board to give him stall rest (it was a minor injury) so wanted to put him down. We're really poor so it was stupid to take him but better than him dying... originally we brought him to the school farm I was riding at, then we moved so he was relocated. I trained him to be a lead pony at the track once he was better. the first summer I worked there with him we just did morning ponying since he was still green and afraid/ spooked by the afternoon races and the gate and whatnot. the next year I did afternoons with him (taking the horses to the gate and warming them up) and he did really well. however we were still very poor so couldn't feed ourselves let alone the horse, so we sold him. we sold him in october of last year to someone else at the track, a young kid (like my age) who'd use him there as a pony, so he'd be doing the same thing.
it sucked though since we were not better off financially at all. I did my final year of high school living off instant noodles and tap water, getting utilities turned off every other week, being afraid everytime the doorbell rang that it was someone cutting off the power or something, etc. so it seemed like it was for nothing. I made up for it by focusing everything into school to get good marks and get scholarships. Now I has monehs.
in reality though, I never really liked our horse. it sounds so mean but my mom loved him a lot and I really disliked his personality. He was a nice big horse with a good stride and all, but a huge pain in the ass in general. Though he was funny, everyone thought he was nice and I was either a shit rider or too mean to him, then other people got on him days I couldn't work and he was SOOO BAD. That shut them up
There's pictures of him throughout my gallery, just search "deed" and they should come up
Here's a hug for having to sell him, and for having saved him
I would never be able to dislike my own horse, I think. I mean, Hildir has been so mean to me, too, he bit, he wouldn't listen, he kicked, he bucked, and I just worked with him until he quit doing that. It has taken me a long time, but it was absolutely worth it. He wasn't the horse I dreamt of at all, but now I can't imagine loving any horse more. And Hildir can be a huge pain in the ass also
Disliking your horse doesn't seem mean to me, but it does seem rather weird. I think I could learn to love every horse if it was mine. Hildir thought me a lot ^^
It wasn't that he was bad, I ride tons of bad horses, I think it was just his personality. He was a racehorse so obviously extremely spoiled, and even after training would still be spoiled anytime someone other than me was around. I had him trained to stand on the bath mat perfectly still, even if I went into the tack room or left, and then if my mom or other people were around he'd take off down the road or something. There was good times; I didn't hate him, there's just been many more horses that I've loved and formed bonds with, and I never did with him. I think part of the reason that I could ride him and train him was that I didn't like him, so could be strict or mean and not feel bad. A few times coming back from the track he would try to gallop or bolt back to the barn, even with constant correction and circling. So days like that I'd just not give him lunch, to show him that running back to the barn is pointless since he wouldn't get food...he learned that quick
By the time we sold him he was really nice and well behaved, he was always fairly docile just hyper, and he was fine after. It wasn't his badness or anything... I really can't explain it, probably because I don't really understand it. Although I did get jealous when I let other people ride him, and was secretly happy when he was bad, so I guess that shows that I must have liked him.
pretty green and PINK! poneys! like the GEM! XD
omg you should make a gem pony!
tee hee hee! XD
