CANTER Must Die....

IT'S THE WEEKEND! W00t! I get to sleep in! *Happy sigh* No work for me.. =)

Mmm muh brothers gone... Muh dads sleeping... Mom's off doing somthing... So it's kinda like... I've got the house to myself! And do you know what I am going to do in my 'free time?' Wait you guessed it... ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!

Well, bad things have been happening out at the barn. Perfectly sound horses are being put down, and I've about had it. Jessica called me last night, and I could tell she was almost about ready to break out into tears. From what I understand, Amelie is crippled, yet still deciding the fate of the perfectly sound horses, based on how much she likes the horses. It is absolutly sickening what is happening to these horses and its beginning to make me sick to my stomach thinking about it. Gold Play was taken last night... Didn't come back. North was here this morning... He is now gone as well. It's just so horrible to kill them like this, when there is someone out there that can really love them and take care of them the way they deserve to be treated. Ashahan is next on the list... Mary and Jessica are planning on 'buying' him, but then giving him to Vince.

I'm really nervous that they are going to try and take Gabe. And if they decide to... there's nothing I can do about it since we have nothing on him yet. But you know, if worst come to worst I will just hand-cuff myself to his stall door so they can't get in there. But the vet doesn't come until August because the bastard is on vacation. From what I hear of him, hes a total jerk off. What really make me uneasy is they have to take Gabe to him >.<

yeah okay so I had alot more written but this fawking thing deleted it so yeah >=(

Haha.... Scrawney Linda.... ha...ha..

Argh!! Right when I was about to write somthing my brother just came and attacked me with a frozen bottle of gatorade.... and to think I was JUST about to write how I was in a surprisingly good mood... hmmph...

Yay, Hilary just got a fortune cookie! It say's... 'Better is the enemy of good.' Er.. I don't get it *scratches head*

Moving on... I had a good day today. It was beautiful out and for once I wasn't scortching when I stepped outside for more than two seconds. Interesting things out at the barn. Well, yesterday Amelie (sp?), the main CANTER girl, got landed on by a horse, fractured both ankles. She had surgery this morning, and is going to be immobile for about a month. Her family is taking her back to... uh... a different state... Anyway, so CANTER is in a huge uproar, and there were two women out there today trying to figure things out and what not. Well this scrawney woman named Linda was showing these two horses to this one girl, and they were free lounging (sp?) one in the indoor arena. Well, I guess the horse didn't want to, and bolted through the doors and straight out the back door.

Not to be mean... but little scrawney Linda looked pretty funny in her panic mode as she was desperately RUNNING for the horse. 1) You don't run after a loose horse... doesn't work out. 2) Its kinda hard to catch a horse by yourself when there are two different ways it could run; you can't block both ways.

So I walked out, after laughing at her of course, and walked up to the horse. She was fine until Linda came running up in a rush and scared her, because then the horse reared and kicked out at her. Once she backed off cause she almost got kicked, AGAIN, I reached up and grabbed the horse by the halter... and just kind of stared at Linda; whom still hadn't calmed down.

Yup... You can just tell they have the most... Qualified... people working for them.


Summer is quickly coming to an end. =( I don't want it to end so fast. I'm not ready to go back to school. For once... I don't have to deal with drama... or stupid people... besides CANTER people... Summer is great! Sleeping in until12, going to bed at three; what could beat that? Usually everyone is all ready to go back to school after two months of summer, but damn people.... get off your asses and do somthing!

Hmm.. Well, Jessica and I are planning a trip to go to Sleepy Hollow for a TRAIL RIDE! W00t! Maybe I can drag Rachel along with us. It'll be great. I'm looking forward to it, the drive over there should be interesting since Jessica has never driven with the horse trailor before.

Alright I guess I'm done rambeling.

Yay for Rachel helping me at the barn tomorrow! I always knew you were my favorite Rach =P

Okay.. Now I really am done.

Ta

Learn Chinese! -School- Xue-xiao (Yay for shitty fortunes from the fortune cookies!)

Arch Angel Gabriel

Yay! I might have a new horse! Might... Well, he came in yesterday, a 17.1hh throughbred, a really dark crimson bay named 'Arch Angel Gabriel'. Gabe for short. He is so gorgeous! Well, he is three years old, meaning he still has about two years to grow so I think if all goes well he will be 17.3h or about 18h by the time he is 5 years old and is finished growing.

Yes Rachel... my horse will finally be taller... MUCH taller... Muah!

The thing about him is he has a bone chip in his front right knee. Meaning he will have to go into surgery at MSU, then be on stall rest until the spring. I've got a lot of faith that he will recover properly. Rebel, Gloria's horse, had the same problem and that little shit is fine. So if all goes well, surgery and recovery, I can get Kelly and Jessica up on him first since their the 'advanced riders' then probably just have Jessica help me out with him if she is willing, and/or has gotten over the fact that he is MINE and not HERS.

My mom and I have started the 'Gabriel Fund', what we plan to do is each put $10 into the bank each week, and by the time spring comes, we hope to have around $1000, which will go towards vet bills, trimming, supplements and so on. Yup.. so far we have $10, lol cause I just started it today.

Well today was the day Harry Potter came out! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I got it this morning at 12:10ish. Lol yes.... Jessica and I did go to the book stores 'party' and damnit we had fun! When we got there and were walking in, we only saw little kids so we were cracking up and joking around. Then we got inside and I doubled over with laughter. It was amazing to see all the different types of people in one area with..er...costumes on. (BTW! We didn't dress up lol). They were having a contest, the Tri-Wizard tournement and we had to go to stations and do the activities to get a stamp; once you completed all the activities your team got another point. Well we did one, and we made slime. Mines blue ^.^

After we made our slime we were going to get in line for another one but they said we could start lining up to buy the book, so we were around 7th and 8th in line out of like 400. After getting the book I made sure to shake it around and be all excited to annoy the people in the back of the line. It was great.

So yeah.

Great Fun.

Viszontlátásra! (<- thats hungarian btw) ^.^

w00t!

I.....DON'T.....WANT.....TO.....SHOW....!

Well, 3 more weeks until the Ingham County Fair. And Boy o' Boy am I just bouncing off the walls with excitment *Insert sarcasm here*. I don't know why I don't want to show this year, but I'm just really am not looking forward to it. Hmm.. Maybe I should make a list of pro's and con's.

Pro's:
1) Opportunity to get a nice tan
2) See a few friends I havn't seen since last fair
3) More practice to get ready for equestrian team
4) Be around horses for, what.. about four days..?
5) Spend time with my family
6) Spend time with my 4-H club

Okay, I think that about sums it up. Now moving onto con's.

Con's:
1) End up getting a sun burn
2) Too hot and humid
3) Have to deal with a cranky mare
4) Get up early and feed
5) Go to bed late because my annoying dad won't turn off the Tv
6) Become a cranky bitch and get the 'Talk' with my dad for the 329472394872398472th time
7) Have to deal with Gloria my 4-H leader *shudder*
8) Get stalked by a young girl with ADHD, and a 9 year old... along with her crazy cousin
9) Take a shower in the public bathrooms >.>
10) Get sand in my sandals after taking a shower on my way back to the camper
11) Eat nasty food that has been sitting in the cooler for 3 days (SOAKING IN WATER!)
12) Ipod battery will probably die... and I will actually have to listen to people
13) Hit my head everytime I sit up in my bunk.... because my matress is too tall
14) Probably be on my period for the entire week.. (Haha sorry ^^)
15) Have to inhale my dads cigarette smoke in the camper because he can't quit

Oh... and I could go on and on >.>

On another note, the new Harry Potter book is coming out on Friday! I've been trying to get Jessica to go to the little 'party' the book store is having. There's going to be wand making and party bags. Haha I thought it would be funny to see a 15 and 20 year old walk in and all there is is young children running around.

Speaking of Jessica, yesterday I had to work out at the barn with her and we almost died! But we came up with the best life plan. First were going to go to England and marry to two royal boys (older for her, younger for me, obviously...) and were going to be the best royal American girls ever! But after we start a riot, they are going to drop us off in Iraq and we are going to get taken hostage. Since were us though, we are just going to laugh and scream and therefore... our captives will drop us off to the American soldiers, who will take us. After we get 'saved' were going to go to Australia, then Ireland then to Russia. In Russia we will either be killed by the mafia or not aloud to leave. Then... I dunno... So yeah.. it'll be great.

Road Trip!

I lied

I know I said that I wasn’t going to post anymore, but I think I lied. Writing in this blog really helps get a few things off my mind, and it’s the easiest way of telling someone your feelings; without actually telling them.

Throughout my posts, I’ve constantly complained about people’s relationships and how they always talk about someone from the opposite sex. Lately that is one of the main things that have been plaguing my own mind. I hate being a hypocrite and for once I am able to say I have been one, but my emotions are just so mixed and confusion and desire have settled and made themselves at home much to my own discomfort. Sometimes the emotions I have no idea about come at me full power and I’m over whelmed with the feeling just to have someone there. I know I probably sound like just a stupid little school girl that has nothing better to do then complain about not being in any sort of relationship; oh but wait... I am just a stupid little school girl.

Even after typing that I still get a bit of uneasiness, I always continue to think that I’m going to say something and people are going to look down upon me for it. I try to be strong and I try to just discard the feelings and emotions I have, but they always come back to haunt me. I realize you are probably lost by now, but don’t worry I am as well.

Well once again I’ve had my heart stepped on, and once again I keep it to myself. I’ve had such strong feeling for this guy, I’ve told him, and he told me he felt the same. I hate being naïve, thinking something would actually work out for me, when I try my hardest not to be. Anyway, this guy and I are close friends, and we have been for along time. We trust each other, to keep secrets, to help through tough times, basically with the things that would eat us alive if we didn’t tell someone. The hardest thing for me is no matter how much I help him, or how I am always there for him… it just doesn’t seem to be the same the other way around.

Sometimes there is just a part of me that wishes for a happy beginning.

Don’t worry Kara, I promise I’ll keep writing.


I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you're giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I'm on my knees confessing

That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

You are the air that I breath.
You're the ground beneath my feet.
When did I stop believing?

Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
