Damn it, George. Why do you have to be such a butthead?  Now I won't be able to enjoy your particular brand of mischevious asshole.  See, by tormenting the newbies you only get yourself in trouble ( Read more... )

Friday's lesson was good.  I was concerned when I got there--my trainer was walking about Junior around because he was "thinking about colicing".  George was good, though (for George--he's such a sly little bastard) and we trotted and cantered over ground rails.  I'm finally sitting the canter fairly well, so the word cross rail was mentioned.  ( Read more... )

me:  ...reading the plot of the Brave Little Toaster, I wonder WHY DID I LIKE THAT MOVIE AS A CHILD
it's kind of fucked up.
Then again, a lot of the stories school thought were awesome! for children were kind of fucked up
(Flowers for Agamemnon, anyone?)
 Pixelated:  I've heard of Flowers for Algernon, but not Agamemnon.  XD

I'm going to make fun of some of the things you do (LJ, Twitter, blogging) and then be surprised and upset when you get upset and defensive!  Derp derp ( Read more... )

Kyrilean: "The clear blue sky suddenly began to darken as dark rolling clouds moved in."
