Topic: Riding

Hmmm, okay, so I rode Billy yesterday. She's so adorable, I love her to bits!

So yeah, I guess I was expecting something different, just recalling the summer rides we had. I mean, I'd forgotten how kind of, quirky she is. Her trot is more like a jog, honestly she barely moves her legs and tracking up? Yeah right! But her sit trot has got to be the smoothest thing in the entire world, I swear to god. Anyways, so like I said, I'd forgotten things about her. So apparently I was collapsing my hip asking her to canter so she wasn't too thrilled about that, but once that got worked out we got the transitions. But her can'ter is so... um, different? It's way bigger than I'm used to, a 13 ft stride. I mean, even on Bugsy his canter isn't that big because I always kept him collected, so I just wasn't used to it and it didn't feel right, so I wasn't so comfortable.

Then we did a flying lead change exercise, just over some poles. I felt like a total retard, of course, because, well, I'm the only one in the group who's never actually done them in a lesson - I just taught myself. So of course Billy gets them, it's just that I feel like we're careening  around the ring, which of course we're not but it's just that her canter's so much of a change.

So after the lesson Candice tells me I did good and stuff, of course, but that she thinks the reason that I feel so unbalanced (which I just realized was true) is just because of her shape. Which is wierd, because last week she said Zack was too nary, and this week she's saying that Billy's too wide, but Bugsy's way fatter than Billy and I do fine on him... I dunno, my legs are retarded. I don't even try to figure it out anymore, just deal with it. Hah.

She's Alive!

Ahh, I kind of forgot about this. I mean, I knew about it but I forgot. You know? I make no sense, I'm sorry.
Anyway, I'm writing an english essay so I'm very distracted, and I'm also chatting with Kailey and Nic. Kailey and I are desperately trying to find a way to get her to come to Salmon Point with me, but it's not over spring break for her so it's very hard. Yeah.
Anyhow, I should get back to my english.

OK, Now I Don't Know If This Is Just On My Computer Or What, But It Seems That The Dates Of The Posts Are A Bit Messed Up. Canada Day And Sadie; Sand Arena Should Be On July 1, Bike Ride Should Be July 2, Tack-Shop And Grandma's Should Be July 3, And Independance Day Should Be July 4. Aftermath Has The Correct Date.

Aftermath

Topic: Everyday Life
So me and Courtney stayed up 'til about 5:30 in the morning. We could have stayed up later, we weren't tired, but I knew that we should go to sleep because it gets light out so early now, we'd have no chance to go to sleep and we'd be basically asleep all day.

So we finally dropped off at probably about 6, and then I woke up at 9:15 and I woke Courtney up at 11. Then she left at 12 and I walked her half-way, up the two big hills.

It started raining, though, so that kind of sucked. So then I came home, and for the last hour I've been updating my this journal, trying to remember what I've been doing for the last, oh I don't know, four days.

Independance Day and Sleepover
Mood:  hungry
Topic: Everyday Life
Happy Independance Day!

Okay, I'm not even American so I don't know why I'm bothering to write about Indy Day, but whatever. Haha, now I have Rudolph saying 'I'm indee-pen-dant' stuck in my head. Oh well.

So again, today I didn't drag my butt out of bed until at least 10, and then Marquita came over at 12:30 and then Courtney came over at about 1:20.

We walked up to Little Caesars and then we went to Marquita's house for all of five minutes, after which we went to the park and talked about Maya because her house is right there. She may be rich, but her pool's so small! Of course, I don't even have one so I shouldn't be talking, but whatever.

So after that we were going to have a sleepover at Marquita's house, but Marquita wasn't allowed, so then we were all going ot have a sleepover at my house, and at first Quita was allowed, but then her dad said no.

But she was still allowed to come over, so we prank-called Reshad, her friend, but he *69'd us so we freaked out.

Then she told her 11 yr. old cousin who looks like he's 8, that I think he's hott and she was pretending to me and flirting with him and then we were going to call him but the line was busy. And then Quita and we didn't get the number, but that's okay!

Then Courtney curled my hair and I crimped hers.
