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.

Mash Pot.

Sunday: Febuary 10, 2013

Okay, all of you can now yell at me, go ahead! I have been missing for a week, it's just been so stressful recently with school and riding, but I have a lot to rant on, hence the title of mash pot!

Boy Problems: So this one is pretty short because I don't want to dwell on it, but ohmygod I am so done with him. We would text like every single day and now he doesn't even respond when I actually need to know answers about this road trip.... kk cool thanks -_- Either way, I still need a date to prom and well just a boy becuase I've been single my whole life and I am way more than ready to mingle.

School Problems: For my television broadcast class, we need fifteen points every 4 weeks (quarter). You can get two points from making a video (it must air in the morning announcements) and one points from working the show. This quarter it is ten points because we weren't airing for like two of the weeks. I currently have seven... I would have the ten from two clips I am working on, but they won't be ready in time, and I don't know I am just super stressed! The only grade that truly matters is the one at the end of the year though so that is helpful!  

Riding: I can't really say problems because it is actually going great! Sly had my trainer on him all this week and is looking AMAZING! Lucky is doing really well, and I have been schooling horses for my trainer without any critique from him which is amazing! It's just been going really well and I am taking my little sister basically to the barn with me on Tuesday to ride (I pick her up from school and we are going to hack together) so that should be fun! I also have a show this weekend with Sly in the Junior Hunters! 

I hope that suffices for some lack of being here! Also, please go answer my survey (asks what you want to see) because it would be super helpfull to me! Thanks!

Babylonian Brotherhood?

Monday: Febuary 4, 2013

I originally wasn't going to post a blog post for today becuase I am extremely tired and just got home from babysitting but this story is just too great to not share. So I used to be in my school's Journalism class before I transferred into our TV Broadcasting class. Anyways, I wrote for the A&E section, so the A&E editor (who has an iPhone) still has my number. With her having that iPhone and me having a dumb phone, when she sends out mass texts, I receive (without knowing who the people are) texts replying to the mass text from the editor. Anyways she sent me a text at around 9:30 tonight asking "If and when you have ever watched the oscars, what do you assume that 'the academy' is when a winner thanks them in their speech?"

So first off, let's be clear of a few things. One, I understand that when you text for answers, you are on a time crunch, and therefore need answers quickly. Two, I love my editor, and combined with the aforementioned fact, I will respond. And three, I have never watched the Oscars. 

And naturally I replied with, "Sorry, I have never seen the oscars so I don't know what you are talking about" and left it at that. About ten minutes ago though, I get a text from a new number saying, "Is it the academy of motion picture arts and sciences? So I'm guessing a room full of over fed white middle age men who vote for movies" and then another text saying "It's a front for the Babylonian Brotherhood. Look it up and the truth shall set you free."

I am still quite confused on this whole ordeal even though the editor sent back a mass reply of "Perf quote :) thank you!" and I am sure that was aimed at the other two people. This should be an interesting article.

Superbowl Sunday....?

Sunday: Febuary 3, 2013

Okay, let me first start off this post as like what the heck is going on? I was just screaming at the 49ers to get their act together when BAM it is all black like the stadium lights went out or something.... I do not follow football so I don't know if that was supposed to happen or......

Anyways the horseshow today was amazing! I woke up at 5:30, left for the show at 6:15, and go there by 6:35! I got on around 6:50, then went into the Varsity (3'6" level) Equitation Flat class! Well, actually I warmed up without stirrups, then went it, but details... details. We ended up getting third overall which is pretty good because a lot of the riders in the flat class are like reaallllyyy good and we had to counter canter and all this strange stuff so GO SLY! Then I had a little break, and then went on to my Hunters o/f, my Handy Hunters o/f, and my Equitation o/f! We had one refusal in the hunters, but that was ALL my fault! Then my handy went really well and so did my equitation! I placed ninth in the hunters, fifth in the handy, and fourth in the equitation! It was so much fun! 

Although my part of the show was over, I stayed at the show to watch a few friends! Overall, it was so much fun! I am now home, tired as ever, uploading raws and procrastinating studying for a test! Meh. School, why do you always get in the way?

Two Posts In One Day?

Saturday: Febuary 2, 2013 

Damn you guys would think I am like popular or something!! SO I got some feedback on the survey (please go answer it: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8DBR7C) and the common request was to post every day or as often as possible and to update you all on what happens at school, what I did in my lessons, and new things in my life! 

Just because those who did answer my survey did answer it, I will try to abide to those things because that seems like pretty easy guidelines to follow! It is good to know some people actually read my blog! Anyways, it is 10:22 pm and I need to wake up in seven hours for the show tomorrow so I will leave with that (go do the survey!)

Love you LEOTs!

Survey Time!!!

Saturday: Febuary 2, 2013 

Hello guys! :) Did you miss me? Probably not because I don't think many of you read... I've been getting really low feedback so I have officially decided (for the sake of my privacy and life) to post maybe once a week or when I really have something to share! I know I said I would update every day, but as many of you could probably tell, it gets a little drawn out! 

Either way, I had a really good day and I haven't been on in awhile so I though that I should update you guys! Today I went to the barn and rode the Luckster and Sly! Lucky was cray cray because I have not taken him out in a while and he hasn't been in a horse show experience for quite some time, but Sly was amazing! We compete tomorrow and are riding in Varsity (Equitation flat, Hunters, Handy Hunters, Equitation, Medal - all 3'6"). I am actually very confidant for the show tomorrow so I am excited to show! 

And also, I just got a question on why I am not posting so much on my blog (obviously worded differently) but I was wondering if you guys could do a quick survey (three questions I think?) about my blog, so I can get a little feedback! To answer the questions just go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8DBR7C
