I finished the last Harry Potter. Some of it was a little unexpected and some i was right in the money. I am not quite sure how i feel about it yet. Mixed bag i suppose. I need to sleep on it, I have gotten like 8 hours of sleep in the past 3 days. Hmm. Perhaps a reread is in order.

I saw rex on sat and he was a star, even without a shoe, which he managed to throw off again. Perhaps we should keep it off all the time. 

So onto the big news. Sat i was just sitting down to read some HP and my mom and dad walk in and announce that they have bought me a car. WTF? Not just any car, an old school Oldesmobile. Oh yes, a giant metal wonderfully 80's car. I think a i recall them telling me that they would like to get a truck for me, because THEY would feel better if i was in something bigger and more reliable than my car. Apparently that went out the window. I dont want to sound ungrateful, because i am not i need a car, it is just i dont like being kept out of the loop and most def was. Had they told me months ago that, 'oh since you are going back to school and that costs money we cant get a new truck but you may have to settle for something else" i wouldnt have been so shocked when they rolled up in the eightiesmobile. Normally my parents blow me off or make fun of me when i talk to them (horses, lsu, josh, dancing, books, etc...) i just figured that they would never actually buy me a new car, since i brought the subject up when i went off to LSU, and never heard another word about it until they bought something totally different. So i can just add this to the list of things that cause friction between me and parents because they think that i hate them, i dont. I was just so shocked i didnt know what to say, and they took that as "you hate the car, you hate us and we are terrible parents." Nope, i was just stunned into silence. 

Oh by the way, the car has no ac, no cd player, the gear shifty stuff is a little fickle and it needs a new muffler. So basically it is the same as my ford car only it has 6 cylinders not 4. So there we are. 

I am so exhausted. Need sleep.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I dunno. I just dont get it. Wednesday, was great.  Saw Rex and he was awesome, watched SYTYCD and it was one of the best shows ever, then i went and saw HP. Great Day. Thursday, i went to work, it was ok and then went to Sandra's where we watched SYTYCD which worked out great, then frosted a rather suggestive cake and talked for 4 hours. It was fun too. Then i woke up this morning. Everything was cool. Then i just got really pissed off. No real reason i just was. Then i went to B&N got some new books and coffee. But it was spoiled cause i was so mad. And i was mad for no real reason. Sometimes i just get aggravated and frustrated and angry for no reason at all. I know my mom thinks i hate her and that she is a terrible mother, but it isnt even her really. She probably assumes it is still the whole rex thing, and it isnt really, at least not in the sense they are thinking. I havent really talked to my dad in months. Things are just diffferent and i dont really have in common with him what i used to. I guess it is me. I have forgiven them not supporting the whole rex thing because i can understand why they did it. They thought they were doing what was best for me, they were wrong of course, but i give them kudos for conviction. I can forgive them but i cant forget it. Maybe because i cant forgive myself for not fighting harder for him. I dunno. I am sure everyone is sick of rex and poor sad sam who cant have him, but it really still bothers me. And i guess i cant get over it and i dont guess that people really understand the whole rex thing. And thats ok. I keep it to myself a lot. My fault that i keep people out. My mom tries, she makes comments and looks at me like "do you have something you want to add" and i just keep looking straight ahead. I dunno what i am fighting so hard against. Whatever. I just felt like ranting. Hopefully the party tomorrow will make me feel better. I am just tired of fighting with everyone around me. ok. i am done ranting for now.

Well the xmas ornaments finally arrived yesterday at hallmark. 

So insues what those of us who have organized the ornaments like to call "ornament delerium" or "backroom insanity". This is defined as the point at which, on any other day, we would be bitter card hating employees, except that we are now surrounded by ornaments, covered in boxes and wearing helmets made of cardboard. This generally occurs at the 5th to 6th hour of opening ornaments. One would know this is occurring because they can hear the maniacle laughter eminating from the backroom and the cyclic nature of the conversation while opening boxes. It sort of sounds like this: sytycd, pasha, benji, josh, michael, muuaaahahaha, sytycd, pasha, benji, josh, michael... and so on. The good news is that most of the organizing is finished and should be completed by tomorrow (hopefully).

On an angsty note. I cannot get over SYTYCD this week. First the taunting by Cat Deeley and the chacha. Then finally realizing that yes, our gorgeous russian latin ballroom dancer, would in fact be dancing the chacha. Then finding out that his partner was in the hospital (emily hit the nail on the head when she said "i would have an irregular heartbeat too if i got to chacha with him.") and he had to dance it with some older, dare i say heavier, woman. Pasha wins an oscar for the act he put on while dancing with her. Cause he was trying his darndest to look at her like he wanted her. I was miffed all night and wandered around the house muttering to myself. Then the results show was even crazier. Cedric, who keeps making other more talented people get kicked off, was safe. Whatever. Then Pasha finally got to chacha with his normal partner. It was worth the wait. Believe me. I am not so sure he was acting with her, i kinda felt a little naughty watching them dance together. Haha. Then his partner got sent home and he cried. Very sad. It isn't on this coming week either so i should be in a very foul mood. Haha.

Not much else is going on. Mostly work and stuff. 

Oh, i did learn today that i am quote "not boyfriend ready". By my outfits have apparently gotten better, thanks to my stylist, and that seems to improve by boyfriend readiness standing. However i am not sure what this all means, but i think everyone at work is on a mission to find me a man so i dont have to ballroom dance. ? I dunno. Whatever. We will see how far they get in making me into a hussy that guys will find attractive. I am a tough nut to crack, though, and i have my own ideas about all that stuff. They probably wont like those ideas either, but hey, ill rumble. Like Al Capone. Haha

So this weekend. haha. i am a nerd...

Saturday we (me, em, my mom and my aunt) went to see the one and only DWTS tour. HAHA! Now that does not inherently make me and emily nerds, the fact that we were only going to watch the feet of the professionals does. We video tapped a bunch of stuff so we could steal the moves. I got some real gems too. Some of the highlights (besides the dancing) were:
* Singing Louis (my fav) happy bday
* Seeing one of our dance teachers doing the same thing we were (stalk)
* Hearing Joey and Drew argue (priceless)

I did nothing today. I loafed around and watched movies with the cat all day. I had a conversation with the cat (i know, i know) about a really crappy vampire movie. The "heroes" were staking them and all, then the vampires had really bad costumes.
me: this is a crappy movie. who makes out with a vampire when they are in vampire mode. i mean, you know they are gonna eat their face off.
cat: ...
me: oh and vampires arent that whorey. well i mean they are whores but they arent skanky skanky whores. this is ridiculous. see...he got his face eaten off. told you so.
cat: ...
It was a rather one sided conversation. But the movie did suck. Haha. 

Anywho. That was fun. I cant wait for wednesday (Pasha!). I am very excited. I love my hunky russian ballroom dancers.

music: nothing today

The last few days and weeks and stuff have been going surprisingly well. 

Well all except that whole Rex not eating and his foot falling off and stuff, that was a bummer but (knock on wood) all that crap seems to be getting remedied. 

But today, i woke up and was just one big angsty ball of emoness. I dunno what happened between going to sleep last night and waking up this morning but man, i am not in a good place. I went to see Rex and that usually helps but i was so unfocused i kept screwing shit up. I dunno what got into me. Everything went fine yesterday. I got off work early, then went on a little outing, i watched Beauty and the Beast (much funnier at age 20) then that was about it. Then this morning hit. All things considered i should be doing cartwheels around the house with a huge dorky grin on my face but i am not. I just dont know what happpened. I am off today and so is my mom. Normally i wouldnt care but i dont feel like faking happieness so i dont have to argue with her. I have been thinking today (since i was a bumbling fool with Rex) and i have some theories on my suddenly sullen mood, but i am still confounded by it so i will hold off on spilling them for now. Until i can figure them out. I dunno. I am just rambling now. Whatever.

I just wanted to write something. Why am the only one who has posted in a while, i am the computer tard? Oh well. I am gonna shower then avoid people for the rest of the day. 

Maybe SYTYCD tonight will be a bright spot in the day. Perhaps Benji will take his pants off again.  :)

(oh and the pic is for emily. "why does he have a halo in every picture? If you say because he is an angel...")

tornado

Jun. 12th, 2007 | 09:54 am

mood: contemplativecontemplative
music: what else would i be listening to...

So dudes. I have come to find out that i am totally useless in a weather emergency situation. Yesterday afternoon my side of the street was hit by a tornado (again). I was home from work napping with Phyllis and it started to rain. I didnt care because rain helps me sleep better anyway. Then it started to thunder and the rain started to blow really hard, still didnt bother me but it was quite upsetting to the cat. So she woke me up. I was sitting on the bed with her watching tv and the wind started to blow the rain sideways into my window, so that i couldnt see anything. It looked like it was snowing outside. So i picked up Phyillis incase we heard the tornado sound (the train and all) and had to run. So we stood in front of the window (not very smart considering the crap blowing around my backyard) listening and watching. Then the wind stopped and it was just sort of raining again. So i put the cat down and told her to stay where i could see her (yes i talk to my cat) and i went to check that i had rolled the windows up in my car (a rather moot concern at this point). When i walked past the kitchen window i saw that the lone pine tree that had still been standing was laying from our yard across the ditch across the rode on my across the street neighbors driveway. I promptly said "what the fuck?" i could also see my neighbors through their front door saying "what the fuck?" too. It was funny. So to make a long story short, i called my parents, the police and city people came to move it off the rode and my dad and roger (the neighbor guy) helped a guy a few houses down put a tarp over his house where a tree had fallen through it. Bum-mer. Quite a day yesterday.

In other, more worrying news, my poor Rex still hadnt eaten anything when i wen to see him on saturday (that would be almost a week). He rode fine and eats grass and hay, but not his regular feed. Chris said we should temp him and checked to see if he was dehydrated. So we pinched him and he was fine, not dehydrated. He loves to drink his water. She said they would have to put him on the senior feed. I guess it is just more easy to digest. I dunno what to do. I am just so worried about him. He has come so far and it would break my heart to lose him now. His potential to be a great show horse is limitless and he is so much more calm. I just love him so much. AAAAHHHH! I dunno. I am gonna see him tomorrow and i will see what i can find out.

I gotta go shower for work and stuff.

emotastic

mood: anxiousanxious
music: My December

So not much has been happening around here, but a lot has been going i guess.

I have been reading a shit-ton of books lately. All sorts. I suppose that i am finally trying to make good on my promise to read a bunch of the books i have never really had time to read. Good for me. I guess i like books so much, almost to the point of eccentricity (is that a word? oh well), because they are vastly more interesting than my own life. I dunno.

So here comes the emo. 

I have been kinda worrying about rex a lot. I know, what else is new? But really, i have heard a few things that have kinda unsettled me a little bit. Chris was telling me that a friend of hers has a granddaughter who just adores rex. She saw a couple times when he was just a pasture horse (that means before he was ok to ride and be around) and thinks he is the cutest thing. Chris said she always asks about him and wants a picture of him to see how he is doing. If she saw him as a pasture horse that was probably at least 5 years ago. I dont know if she rides or anything it could be she just thought he was cute. I dunno. I just always get a little nervous when people get interested in him. Cause as much as i love him and take care of him, he doesnt belong to me. They could easily sell him, (has happened before) especially now that he has turned into a showhorse.  Then leon came to his stall while i was getting him ready and asked if he had eaten his breakfast. Now rex has always been a slow eater, but leon said he hadnt been eating well (almost nothing) for the past few days. He seems fine, he rides brilliantly and he did finish his feed that day but i am still worrying. It could be nothing or it could be something. I dunno. I dont think i have ever seen him colic or get sick, usually it is his foot that has problems but that is it. AAAHHHH. I dunno. 

Whatever. I am just a freak.

So this weekend was crazy.  

Friday me and em went and saw the mandeville kids dance at the competition. Then there was a dance that night where we saw Tammi Clark and Tim Allen (no relation to tool time/santa clause) do an incrediable exhibition of smooth dances. It was amazing and i want her dress wardrobe. 
Saturday me and em went to the barn to see my boy (sorry you are allergic em) and then we drove back to BR to see the rest of the competion. Everyone was wonderful, i feel bad about my level of dance, and i want every dress that was there. That night there was the regualr SNB dance but before it started they finished with the rest of the championship competition. These people rocked. There was a dance couple who i have no words to express how great they were. She was gorgeous, he was great, it was awesome. This girl dances better than anyone i have ever seen and just to make me feel like a shmuck she was 14 and her partner was almost 16. Oh yeah, she also had a broken ankle.
Then today just seal the deal that we are complete and total ballroom nerds who have no hope of redemption me and em watched the pro-am competion. Where we of course stalked our ballroom hero, the one the only Bill Anderson. We spent the whole day watching him and trying to avoid getting Corey too close to him. Cause Corey has already warned Bill about us. He told Bill about our stalking at regular SNB stuff and our spying on him in the practice room. But corey doesnt know about us seeing him in the hotel restaraunt. Muuuaaahaha. Too bad Corey made funny faces at Bill during the dancing and Bill saw us hanging around Corey so i am sure the restraining order is being processed. 

I do have one final Bill Anderson encounter story. When we were leaving me and em turned around and Bill was coming through the door we were leaving through. And the conversation went something like this:
Me: Ready to go?
Em: Yep. 
(we turn around)
Me & Em: gasp!!! It's Bill!
Em: Shit what do we do.
Me: Lets go for it.
(walk towards Bill and out through the door he was holding open for us)
Me: Thank you
Bill: ...
(two minutes later, em comes through the door with a cup of water)
Em: hahaha! we are idiots.
Me: Yep.

It was a good day. I am exhausted and my feet hurt so i am going to bed.
