(no subject)
ok, i'm back from New Jersy, back to school, back to the world of insomniacs.
i had an interesting time...
we left friday morning as planned. the only thing i forgot was my duck tape. (yay) blah blah, driving thru Conneticut, New York, New Jersy, blah blah. five hours later...
look! we're here! yay!
hey... look, there are 9 people in your division...but...hey look, theres 3 of the best drivers in the country (and guess whose division they were in)
well, they're only driving young horses, they can't do THAT good (ha ha ha)grrrrrrr
so we go out on the Zooma(moped(VROOOMMMM)) and run the marathon course. and got lost. ok everything looks okay... TO DINNER! some italian restraunt, anyway all the waiters were teenage boys...yum. the people who went to dinner with us all sent out to the liquor store for drinks...wow... anyway then we went TO THE HOTEL! i stayed up late and watched numb3rs...
woke up the next morning, it was only raining lightly... for the WHOLE DAY...
dressage went well, Cory (pony) was going good. i placed fourth...ok good.
BACK TO THE HOTEL! along the way my Mom pointed out the place where she and her friend Carolyn were "pulled over last year by the most handsome cop ever, He smelled DIVINE" when they made an illegal u-turn....right...
we watched a tv show about crab fishing in alaska. apparently it's the most dangerous job in the world...ok...
then we went down to the competitiors dinner. it was a Pam's (a competitors friend. i think it was her 60-somethingth birthday.) so of course, they bring out the champange. they were passing the bottle around the table and laughing loudly. old people party like nobodys business...wow...
then a friend of my mom's who sat next to me at dinner told me about a physic reading she once had. apparently in a past life she was a doctor in paris, then a witch doctor in ...somewhere.. and a hooker in a western town...wow. people are crazy...
anyway, my mom and i return to the hotel room, watch some of jurassic park III and go to sleep.
we wake up the next morning to discover that it is STILL raining. so we return to the show grounds to discover that the parking area has turned to mud. we got stuck for a minute on the way in. bleh... anyway, nearly the whole stable has flooded.(i was walking down the asileway and watching the waves ripple away into the horses stall's. my pony's stall was not flooded.(yay)
we had a late go time. so we stood in the horse trailer and watched everyone slop around in the mud as it got deeper and deeper. some people were like 'screw this, i'm going home.' and tried to pull out with their horse trailers... Bad idea. they got stuck. a backhoe was called in to drag us all out.
later.... the rain has lightened from downpour to mist. (yay)
so my mom and i head out on the marathon. the deer were all watching us from the woods so we started singing 'jingle bells' to keep them from jumping out in our path... which would have been bad...
halfway thru the marathon it starts raining again. bleh. the mud got deeper, we mved slower. and ended up over the time limit. BLEH.
so i moved up to fith place... and the backhoe had to pull us out too when we left.
and i realizied it was a good thing i don't have my permit yet.
i came so close to convincing my mom to let me drive home. on the mass pike. at night. in the rain. with a horse trailer. which could have ended badly.
and i think i just broke a record for my longest post ever.
so there! i think i need to sleep now...
muhahahahahahaha
WAIT! i almost forgot Stanely! they're was some random homing pidgeon who was walking around the stable. i named him stanley.
...ya...
