Okay soooo until I figure out how to import my old blog from livejournal onto here, I guess I’ll just haphazardly post them. Here. Enjoy.
On another note, I have alot of hate for the people upstairs. Not because they party, cause… well it’s college. But if you’re gonna party, blast techno music like the 80’s are back into style and popping pills is all the rage, bang around like you’re throwing large animals into the wall and bouncing them off the floor, or perhaps walk around in high heels at 3:30 in the morning because clearly that’s NECESSARY during these wild and crazy apartment techno dance parties, do it in a dorm on campus and not an apartment that’s just shy of $1000 dollars per month. Seriously. What’s the point of paying so much for a beautiful apartment in a gated complex if you have people upstairs who play techno consistently, every day, and sound like they’re falling face down on the floor every few hours, while giggling like a bunch of 14 year olds who got their hands on alcohol for the first time in their life. It’s not even like you hear a tiny part of the bass either. I can pretty much tell you what song is playing and sing along and dance if I felt inclined to do so. Couldn’t come up with a reason yet? Yeah neither can I. So I’m well aware that this was a complete bitch blog, but it had to be said before I go up to their apartment and tell them to shut the hell up. I totally would, except for the fact that Shane and I are the only two cars with NY plates in the parking lot and if they do anything to our cars I’ll surely run them over next time I see them. I really hope my dad finds a house that we can move in to. Soon please. Thanks.
I was on gizmodo this morning while drinking my lovely mug of coffee when I noticed this. If you took a chance to click the link and read it, you’ll see why it’s pretty appalling. Now, I’m totally for protecting people and being able to spot criminals before they do something wrong, but how far is TOO far? I mean, this thing can see objects in people’s pockets from 80 feet away by catching on to the trays that it emits. The article was saying that if they installed this on the streets, it would serve as something to catch people with drugs and firearms. That’s awesome… in a way. But un-awesome in alot of others. That’s turning this country into something that we don’t want. There’s already been an era of totalitarianism in the world- can we please not have it here? My professor was already saying how they have these chips that you can install in your children so you can track where they are at all times. Her friend had them installed in her child, but it actually helped save her life. She ended up getting kidnapped [what are the odds lol] and the police were able to track the child down using the chip. Shenendehowa [my old highschool in NY] already has it so that parents can log onto the school site and see their child’s attendance and their grades, as well as any disciplinary action that was taken. That’s good … for the parents. Not so good for the child. Now, I wasn’t a menace or anything in school, but every kid skips now and again to do something fun. It’s just how it is. I couldn’t believe being in highschool now with it like that. It’s bad enough that when I was in highschool, we had a guy named the “creeper” that shen staffed just to hang out in the trees of the woods behind our school, where the trail was to walk into town. What the hell!? He was creepy. That alone kept me from stepping foot in there unless I was with a bunch of people haha. Accounting tiiiiiiiiime. bye.
All I remember was that I was walking somewhere, and for some reason or another I came across a black snake. I [somehow] had a snake book with me and I had opened it up to look at it. I remember thinking in my dream about copperheads and cobras and whatnot, but I couldn’t see the snake in the book. I had myself thoroughly convinced it was a black cobra and I picked the damn thing up. If anybody has held a snake, you know the two places that you hold it. You hold its tail, and you place your hand right underneath its head so it can’t turn back and snap at you. I was doing that and it starting fighting me a little and trying to wriggle away. Its head was super strong and I could feel it slipping out of my grip… and then this happened.
Its head retracted [that's right kids, RETRACTED] into its neck. What kind of snake does that!? I knew it was going to bite me so I was about to let it down, when its head came back out and it managed to sink its fang into my finger. Then the book said something about it being poisonous [since it took me getting bitten to actually locate the mysterious snake in the snake book finally] and I realized what had just happened. That was it.
Now my dreams have been known to be weird before, and i dream every night, but this one stuck in my mind because I’ve dreamt of snakes before. I’ve probably had about 8 dreams involving snakes. I don’t own a snake. Yes, I like snakes, but I don’t think about them enough to have them encroach on my dreams.
OOOOO a really nice WRX just drove by the apartment. That required a brief pause and exclamation
aaaaaanyways. I’m gonna go crawl back in bed with the boy.
I have to go riding at some point today too. I told Julie I would go early afternoon but I think it might be later because I forgot campus isn’t open past 4 today. I’m excited! Sometime within the next few days we’re taking the horses out with some other people [I haven't met them yet] and we’re going riding for a few hours down the Little Econ River. I loooooove trail riding. Oh, no I don’t ride western, we’re riding english out there… I don’t do the whole ‘cowboy’ thing. Haha. Me in a cowboy hat…. mmhmm. Not likely. Not that I’m implying all western riders tote cowboy hats but you know what I mean. I’m a little frightened though; I’ve heard vicious rumors about banana spiders hanging out in the forest here. If you’ve ever seen one you would understand why this strikes terror in my heart. I’m not a bug person AT ALL… let alone spiders. I’m terrified of them.
I remember my first horse that I had apparently had some barrel racing experience… I tried to tap into that and had my mom buy my a western saddle… didn’t go so well. She was too high strung. I used to love xmas when I had my horses. I always got new tack or saddle pads. Yeah yeah. All you people who don’t ride or own horses probably don’t see how exciting it was, but trust me, it was like giving cookies to the cookie monster. I went to the tack store with Julie a few weeks ago and OH GOD. Why didn’t they have any of this stuff when I needed to buy some?! They had these cute black saddle pads with little pink skulls on them, black ones with a pink breast cancer ribbon on it. I totally could have accessorized. I always did green with my horses though [because they were both bay's, so the green went well with the dark brown] with everything from their saddle pads right down to their leg wraps and blankets. AND for those of you who claim that riding is not a sport and you think that people just sit on a horse and the horse plods along… you are greatly mistaken. I’m only mentioning this because I’ve always had people ask me how I considered riding great physical activity or a sport. Well all I have to say is this, you try riding a 1000+ pound animal 3-4 times a week that can think for itself. Plodding along? Hardly. I’m not talking about riding a school horse that’s completely bomb-proof so people can have their children ride. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’ve been there, You should have seen some of them that I was riding when I was 8 lol. If I had to ride them now it would be a grueling experience… but that’s how you learn. You’d be amazed at how much work it can actually be when you’re past that stage. Have you ever had a dog that was bigger than you chase something and pull you along? Ok well maybe that’s a bad example because I don’t even weigh a hundred pounds, so any dog really could drag me lol. But imagine sitting on top and working with an animal thats about 20 times the weight of that. It’s the most exhilarating and liberating feeling in the world… until you’re cantering along and a bird flies out of the bushes and scares the ever living crap out of your horse, and they decide to flip out and take off. Anything can happen at the drop of a hat, but maybe that’s why I’ve loved it for so long… building a relationship with such a magnificent creature is alot of work, but it’s worth it when your minds melt together and they understand every little cue that you give them, like they’re an extension of your body. Oh well, I’ll stop boring the hell out of you people. Just be glad you haven’t talked to me in person and had me go off on a tangent like that
Does anybody know somebody who wants to buy a set of 22 inch rims? If so.. message me, I’ll give you more details. That was random I know, but they’re sitting by the lamp and I’m staring at them in their blingy, chromey glory. [well aware those aren't words, but they had to be used].
Wellllllll. I’m gonna finish my coffee. Wake the boy up. Finish studying. Maybe I’ll write again later if I have time. I doubt I’ll be out drinking tonight so we’ll see.
OH!!!!!!!! I’m excited for spring break. Why!? It’s a secret. Well shane knows, and two other people know. It’s supposed to be kind of a surprise
I know you hate me right now Jenna [did you send the tech savvy gunman to stalk me!? There are TWO pools here... you know what THAT means!!!!] but soon you’ll be here too
I can’t believe you’re moving here! [I don't know why this turned into a random letter to you, general tsao, but I know you're probably the only one reading this haha... oh and PS.. if you're not Jenna and you're reading this... don't ask about the nickname] That means while shane’s in class we can frolic to the pool and swing on the swings at the playground! I don’t know what we’ll do with west… maybe he can tag along
I’M SO EXCITED!! They do a bunch of shuttle launches over the summer at the kennedy space center too. So we’ll be going to cocoa beach to watch. Shane and I did that last year and it was amazing. The whole ground shook. If you do get that apartment next door that means we can play at night like the insomniacs we are while the boys sleep
and that is the end of my letter to you Jenna. I just found out when my induction is so I have to find something to wear.. my friends might be wearing little cute dresses so I guess that means I have to find a little cute black one to wear. I was advised against wearing heels because of all the standing… but can you really wear a cute dress without heels?!
I’m going riding after class, and maybe to the gym after with Julie depending on how much I get done when I get home. Fancy is coming along nice. [Fancy is a horse I'm working on and exercising for my friend. She has two horses but she's putting alot of time into her other one so she can show her in the summer. I'm working on Fancy to get her riding smoothly] She’s doing an amazing canter on right circles but I’m having a real problem having her canter a left circle smoothly. She’s alot different than the last two horses I’ve owned. With my last two horses I always had to fight to make sure they didn’t run off and try to kill me. I wish I still had them
Stupid highschool and college. Riding wasn’t a problem, I’ve been doing it since I was 8, but owning horses and trying to train them when they have problems and juggle highschool/college is really hard. Hence why I had to sell them both. I plan on getting another horse once I finish school though. Well I have to go to Calculus and I’m pretty sick of writing haha.
Oh.
PS: I’m doing Relay For Life. If you’d like to donate to my team then send me an email or message me on AIM and I’ll get everything all set
Thanks!
… yeah. this is what I mean. I’m sitting here blogging about politics. ARGH!
Anyways, while I was on campus taking my test, my boy made me the yummiest dinner EVER! He’s quite the amazing cooker. I walked in and the apartment smelled like spaghetti sauce. mmmmmmmmmm. If I leaned against the wall and inhaled I would be in complete heaven. So I realize I’m going to be blogging a lot, but don’t mistake that for not having a life. What you don’t realize [which I mentioned in my first blog] is that I’m quite the efficient multi-tasker. So while I’m sitting here blogging, I’m also socializing, talking, doing homework, watching tv, being silly etc etc. I’m finally relaxing now so I should sleep well tonight. For anybody who hasn’t heard me bitch and moan about my sleeping, well I just don’t. Sleep that is. I can lay in bed forever and not fall asleep, and when I DO fall asleep, I don’t actually hit REM sleep. I just hover on the brink of it. And when that happens, I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven’t slept at all. The slightest noise wakes me up. A midget [that jenna bought from ebay obviously] could tiptoe across the kitchen floor and I’ll shoot up in bed. Yeah. REALLY not fun. Shane sleeps like a rock. A legit rock. I can shake him and probably haul him off the bed and he won’t wake up. Good for him- bad for me
Okay well I’m off to do something else now.
