Duske Is My Favorite Horse-Name
1) A little while ago, smoulderedtears and I applied for characters in the Lumiere RP; rather than let us know if we were accepted or not, the mods just deleted our applications, and blocked our journals from posting again.
All I can say is; W.T.F.
Okay, so I'm assuming we weren't accepted. Duh. But the common sense, common curtesy thing to do is at least tell the person that they aren't accepted, and give them a reason why. I did something wrong in my app? Fine. TELL ME, so I at least know what's going on.
So Kao-mun and I went to the "questions" board and left polite questions in regards to it, basically asking why our applications had been deleted with no response whatsoever, and explaining that we both felt rather offended by the fact that they hadn't bothered to do anything but DELETE and then barr us from applying again and/or posting anywhere in the various parts of their rp. This had to be done from alternate journals, mind you, because the ones we used to apply in in the first place had been banned.
Their response? They deleted our questions, again without a reply, and then barred the journals we used to post the questions, too.
You know what? That's remarkably, rediculously rude, and I'm quite pissed off about it. But if that's the way that rp is run, and how the mods act (like spoiled children, basically), then I don't think I really want to be part of it anyway.

2) A few entries ago I was fretting over Pagan being too skinny, and asking any vet nurses on my f-list for advice about it; well, things have changed, but I don't know if it's for the good or not.
Basically, now Pagan is still quite skinny, but has a round little belly on him. I was afraid it was GI Stasis or another gastrointestinal problem, so I've been keeping a very close eye on him... again, he seems healthy enough; he's eating (pellets, timothy hay and veggies/fruits), pooping, peeing, still cuddly, playful and keeping himself clean. He and Pan were recently introduced to strawberries, and he's like ZOMGYEYMOREPLEASEMOMMY??
I even checked his teeth, just in case he had a problem with them and wasn't chewing his food enough, or something stupid like that, but they're fine. (Pagan loves being on his back, btw, he's the only one of my buns that'll do that. Flip him over and he'll lay like that forever! ♥)
Anyway, I can't think of any reason for him to have such an overly round belly on him... except a few minutes ago I had a panic moment-- what if he's PREGNANT? What if he was sexed wrong at the pet store, and I can't tell properly? ><
If that's the case, then it would have to have happened at the store before I even brought him/her home because Pan is for sure a girl (clearly, for some reason both Rex rabbits I have are easy to identify when you have a look up their skirts), and so are my other buns. Now I'm worried. Mwaaaaa~
Should I take him to the vet? He's healthy aside from the belly, and it seems pointless if there's nothing wrong...

3) Today the orange hair I ordered for Kyou!pony came in (along with some more white and black, which I don't need right now, but will probably need at some point between now and the end of May.) It's... Orange Blossom? I think that's the name. I got it from restoredoll.com, as always. I've tried various brands/types of hair over the last year and between the product and the service, I always end up going back to katsilk and restoredoll. :)
The orange is a little brighter than I thought it was, but not overly so, and actually matches the shade of orange paint I have almost perfectly, so I'm pretty happy. I'll probably finish up Kyou!pony tonight (he's been nagging me about it, since Yuki!pony has hair and he doesn't-- he was not happy! lol.), and possibly Hatori!pony as well. I was going to rehair Hatori last night, but I ended up with a headache and not feeling really well, so I didn't get it done...
And I'm really annoyed with Loki right now; while I was out this morning, he climbed up on the table, stole the little clay fish I'd done for Arisa!pony's symbol, carried it halfway across the apartment, and then chewed it all to hell. =__=;; So now I need to redo that...
4) I got goyza today~~ <33
I try to get Japanese from the place by the mall as often as I can; they make awesome food, and it's all cooked with water instead of oil. They make the best teriyaki. ^_^ They make good tempura, too, and now I've tried the goyza... which was awesome. *_* I loved it even though it was pork-- the spices and stuff were perfect!
I think I'm going to find that I love almost everything they do. XD;
Next time I'm going to try their yakisoba~
5) OMG Cassandra-san look... AN ND SCENE! =O Shocking, I know. Not a very long one, but one nonetheless. Hopefully I can get them out on a relatively regular basis from now on. I miss ND. ;.;
Taiga had never done much in the way of horseback riding, at least until Josei introduced her to it; it wasn't that she didn't have access, her father had owned a handful of horses that were boarded outside of the Capital, but she just hadn't had the interest.
Then, she'd found herself in a relationship with Hikaru, and time with Josei and Amai had come along with it-- and one of the things Josei loved more than anything else was riding.
"Ehh... I don't think this is a good idea..."
"Nonsense, Taiga-chan! Just swing your leg over like I did."
A sweatdrop, then a concentrating expression, and a moment later she was seated firmly on the back of a delicate bay mare whose name she couldn't remember.
A few feet away, Josei was waiting, perched on the back of Raitei, the Palace stables' resident stallion-- who was more than a little picky about who he would allow near him, never mind riding him. Josei was one of the only ones-- and Raitei had developed an accute dislike for Hikaru, much to the violet-haired woman's amusement.
"Taiga-chaaaan~~ Josei~~"
Shifting a bit, Taiga half-turned in the saddle to look toward Hikaru, who sounded absolutely pitiful-- and looked much the same. His hair was in disarray from several failed attempts at mounting the horse Josei had picked out for him-- a sturdy, friendly dark grey girl named Duske-- and coated in a thin layer of dust from falling on his rear more times than any of them cared to count.
"I can't do thiiiiis~~"
This time, he was half-hanging off of Duske's back, feet in the stirrups-- and the saddle slipping sideways to the right; he was clutching the mare's neck tightly, trying to right himself before he ended up completely upside down, hanging underneath her stomach. For her part, Duske was leaning over the fence railing, munching calmly on the tall grass on the other side.
"Oh jeez..."
"Hikaru-san..."
They couldn't help but fall into amused giggles, both of them snickering behind their hands while Raitei and Taiga's mount shifted restlessly, and Hikaru continued to hang-- unable to pull himself up, and unwilling to let himself fall.
"Mouuuuu~~"
It was the first, and last time Taiga ever saw her future-husband (semi) seated on a horse.
I'd almost forgotten how much I love ND-Hikaru. The goof. ♥~
