Normal Teenager...?

Friday: March 22, 2013  

Let me tell you, being a normal teenager in high school is a little tiring! Granted, people may think that what I deem at 'normal' (aka running straight from school to home to change, then to the barn, riding my a** off, coming home, and doing homework then sleeping) as tiring, but holy crap! So as many of you guys know, I am going to prom! At my school, we take buses to the venue that prom is held at, and naturally because you cannot fit the whole senior and junior class on one bus, there are many buses. I do not want to be stuck on a bus without Emily (aka my other half, I've known her since 2nd grade and she is like much higher than a 'best friend'). She is in two types of choir at my school and one of the choirs that she is in (Jazz choir I believe?) went to... well actually now that I think about it, I have no clue where they went.... BUT anyways she wasn't here and today was the last day to buy tickets at the cheapest price.So I am probably boring you like no other with this lovely topic. Long story short, I had to buy tickets at the same time as Emily to be on the same bus, but her boyfriend bought hers for her because 1. They're dating and 2. She wasn't here. Waiting for him though was so ridiculous and he is so sassy OMG!

Along with prom, I also have to find a dress (I have narrowed it down to basically two dresses!) and if I go with one of the dresses, I have to find some colored heels to spice it up and for both dresses I would have to find accessories. I found a video on youtube today that actually sparked some interest though! You know those twisties? Well I found how to make them myself and where to get all the cute elastic for it, and I though why not make some to match my dress (and other people's dresses maybe too!) and that way it is a conveinent and cheap accessory! They have the general fold over elastic, then lace, sparkley, velvet, and a frosted sparkle one too! SO many cute and adorable options!

Aside from my prom rant (prom is going well this year, huh?), I also got an iPhone! It's the 5, and I love it so so much! It is so handy and guess what my lock screen is (so everyone can see)!! It is a picture of Harry Styles and says: "Keep Calm and Love Harry Styles". It is such perfection! I keep hitting the home button when it is locked so i can see his face.... bad for the battery, but good for my feels ;)

I'll let you guys go now! Keep it classy and never trashy!

What is Even Going On?

Tuesday: March 19, 2013  

I have declared myself to be in a good mood. Hey, if you say it enough it will happen right? Ha. No. But seriously I am actually happy right now, big shock that is. It's not that I'm not ever happy, but right now everything is working out so well! 

Anyways I am watching PLL right now (SEASON FINALE WOOHOO) but a commercial just came on and it reminded me of kid president.... has anyone else watched that? SO FUNNY. And now there is a commercial on how every 19 minutes someone dies from prescription drug abuse. Mood killer much? Now one is one about "Pizza, chicken, mojos". What is this? 

OH and I had an epiphany today. Why the hell do people buy large sodas if you are eating in the fast food joint because it's not like your free refills are limited. So if you get a small and save a dollar or something, you can just refill as much as you want. Like thanks Burger King for taking all my extra dollars! *face palm* 

This post is so ADD. Why do you guys read this? ALSO!!! TWO MORE THINGS.

 1. I need suggestions on what to write, I don't want to write stuff that people keep hating, so give me suggestions on my ask.fm (http://ask.fm/hoof2heartt) and also ask me questions. Because you love me, and the more questions I get, the sooner my next 'thing' will happen!

 2. So this 'thing' is a giveaway/contest! The prize will be a gift card to Dover (amount uncertain right now but maybe like $20-$25)! I am only going to do this if you guys give me creative contest ideas and ask me questions! I don't want this to be a deadbeat contest so go ahead :) Send suggestions to my ask.fm!

Perfect Prom? Ha.

Sunday: March 17, 2013  

So it has been two weeks since my last post, and I was going to write something yesterday but my friend was over so I couldn't. SO here I am now! So like my title says, this post is about prom!

So prom this year for my school is Great Gatsby themed (Thank God! Our ASB finally did something right!)Anyways, it was announced last week that Prom Packets were ready for pick up and I automatically thought back to when a group of friends and I were studying at Panera last year for finals. Everyone had left except for this kid, we will call him Randy, and I! We started up on the topic of how it is our senior year and how fun it will be and then we got on the topic of how we both don't have anyone special right now to go with (everyone else in our friend group does). Then it had gotten to the awkward part of the conversation where people in movies just go "well, if neither of us have anyone to go with, we should just go with each other!" and we both knew it, so I told him "well, if neither of us have anyone to go with, we should just go with each other!" It was against my better judgment, but I thought, hey I will have someone by then! WRONG. 

So flash back to when they announced Prom Packets and I was like oh shit I have to get a date, so I was thinking of asking this kid who lives in AZ to come out and stuff but I also didn't want to make him go through all that trouble so I shoved prom to the back of my head and was just expecting to go with friends or something. Well last night, my friend slept over and she was all like "Emily, can you come with me, I need to go get my iTouch out of my car!" And I was like oh sure! So I hopped on her back (I didn't want to walk) and I joked "Oh you are just trying to get me alone so you can kill me!". I turned on the lights and opened the door and BAM. There is a kid standing out there with a big poster board, but all I see is a white rectangle and legs coming out, so naturally thinking I was going to die, I screamed... I (still on her back) asked if it was her boyfriend, hoping it was not Randy. Well, it was Randy, asking me to Prom. 

Most of you will probably like AWW YAY! But I honestly really don't want to go to prom with him. He's not that kid I always saw myself going to prom with. AND I told that friend I was with that I didn't want to go with him to prom and she was 'helping' me find a kid. I find out that she was helping him, like what the hell, you are my best friend you would think that you wouldn't put me in a position. I'm not the type of person that would say no. So now I am going to my senior prom, with a kid I don't want to and who is I think shorter than me because I want to wear heels. #myluck

I will definitely keep you guys updated.... you probably all find this really funny now and looking back I probably will, just now I am frustrated and mad.... BUT. Here are some pictures of the place prom is at, him and me, and then also some dress ideas!

Sleepy Sunday.

Sunday: March 3, 2013

I have so much on my plate right now, but like deep deep down inside of me I know it isn't a lot, I just procrastinate too much. Right now I need to complete my laundry, clean up my dishes downstairs, clean my room, clean the cat box, and make dinner. What am I doing? Writing this, obsessing over One Direction's album Take Me Home, and waiting for The Amazing Race to come on! I'm also wanting to get up and get some Nutella and raspberries, but I know if I do that I should put away the dishes! 

On a side note, Sly was good today! We worked on not freaking out at a show environment since the show was still going on today and the show was at my barn. He was so good, we are getting changes, being supple, and he was just so amazing!!! Lucky also showed today and was phenomenal! 

I should get up and put these dishes away. It's a little ridiculous.

Lost.

Saturday: March 2, 2013

I think the worst part of loosing something is that you get over the initial grieving period, but then it hits you again. That day when you see them being successful and winning with someone else. You know, making a name for themselves without you when all along you dreamt it would be you two. The problem is I can't be mad, he deserves this. He deserves a little girl to show him and win on him. Just because he couldn't do it with me because of my family's limited resources doesn't mean that he cannot go and do it now.

But it is hard.

I was at the show today getting ready to hop on Sly when my mom showed me a picture of Leo and a little girl. They were champion in the Children's Hunters two weeks in a row at Thermal. He deserves it, she deserves it. But in the picture, I saw him. His lovely expression, clipped to a gorgeous color, and just his passion and hardwork really paying off. He was happy. I really wonder though if she knows him like I do. She can't. The little insignificant memories of me walking into his stall when my mom called me telling me my Grandpa died, he was there. The days when he saved my butt countless times, and was just as perfect as a horse can be. She can't know him like I do, atleast that is what I am telling myself because I am hoping I can hold that over them. Atleast Leo and I had the closest relationship a horse and rider can have. 

But then I get that awful feeling again because he doesn't deserve my selfishness. He deserves the absolute best and I am just frustrated that I cannot give that to him. Because I am over here on a new horse still trying to get around a course without fighting and he is doing well. Without me. And I just can't grasp that.

It is just hard seeing something that was so yours now become someone else's. It's hard comparing the show you had today to something you used to have and what is going on in a different world. It's hard moving on and accepting that maybe it is better that he is with her. It's hard being lost.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wednesday: Febuary 14, 2013

The reason I cannot read or watch movies ever (even though I read obsessively) is because I get sucked into the plot and story so much that it is ridiculous. 

Today, being Valentine's Day, is every single person's worst nightmare. I was constantly reminded all day that all these people have amazing boyfriends with super cute gifts and I am forever alone. I am sure so many people can relate to me on this statement, but sometimes I wonder what the heck God is planning for me (shoutout to all the atheists!) But in all seriousness, this game is getting a little outta hand.

But with reading a book, especially when there is romance involved, I pretty much die inside. Being single and reading these fairytale scenarios is ever worse because your expectations go up, but you already have no one biting at your fishing line so you are just a gonner. I literally just want a boyfriend so I can just send cute "I love you" texts and tell them about the movie and how lucky I am to have them.... like seriously no takers?

It's especially bad because I like this boy, but he lives in a different state, so I know nothing would come of it, yet when texting we are so compatible. Just he has been off the charts recently and just sent a "Happy Valentine's Day :) <3" text to me.... my feelings are out of control.

I just want a boyfriend that is taller than me, has a toned body to some extent, and is super sweet and nice and caring. 

CUPID WHERE ARE YOU.

Perks of Being An Equestrian - Ch. 1

Tuesday: Febuary 12, 2013

Waking up to the blaring beeping sound that was sounded by the clock striking 6:00 am, I slowly unwrapped myself from the blankets that laid on my bed. Why did I opt to take a first period class second semester senior year? I thought to myself. I felt my muscles stiffly move as I slid out of bed and made my way to get ready. Today was going to be a long day. 

It was 10:17 already, three classes down, two more to go until I was allowed to leave at lunch. I walked up next to my friends and went towards our fourth period, peeping into their conversation. I do not say much usually, as the only people I am close to at school, well I never see, but I get along with everyone else. They were talking to each other about how for Choir, they do not get to sleep in on Wednesdays nor go home and relax after school, and when people state that they are so tired, they reply with a "you honestly have no idea." I personally wanted to laugh at this statement. I'd like to see them do an actual sport after school then come home to piles of homework. They honestly have no idea.

Finally the lunch bell rang, signaling me to go home and change, then go pick up my barn little sister so we could go ride. I picked her up at my school's rival school, sending the occasional glare at the pimpiest students, and took her to get a snack. I then hurried out to the barn, already ten minutes late, and dreading what my trainer would punish me with. 

OKAY omg that is way to hard to make a story out of my day, I failed whatevs. Anyways, onto my life in not-story-format.

I took Skylar to the barn, and we rode probably one of the hardest lessons I have ridden in a long long time. No strirrups, some head-gear-like-contraption for Sly, and no muscles whatsoever for me! SO MUCH FUN! Either way, I am now at home, way too tired to do homework, slightly depressed because I accidentally deleted/stopped recording Pretty Little Liars to watch the news because hopefully the ex-LAPD cop is caught :D 

Okay- time to sleep. Or watch a movie. Or just eat, a lot.
