AnotherTwilight's Blog

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Here I'll post whatever the freak I feel like, and you may or may not read it. I could care less. Well I shouldn't say I could care less, because I do, but I don't. Make sense?

The quick basics - My name is Alyson. As you probably already know, I'm an Admin for this site. I came to know Twilight<3 (Evey), Princess_Bella (Ash), and Jaggykinz otherwise known as Jag (Mar) from the Twilight Lexicon. Most of you also come to know us from the Lex's SKITS thread we all so dearly love. So.....yeh. Check up often!

My First Topic........My love of horses, and my horsie experience.

Well, I've been riding for 6 years now. I started off when I was seven with a little white grade (mixed breeds) pony, named Trouble. He was old, about 28 when I started. I stopped riding him after about 3 years, because I was too big and he was too old. A couple months later I found and started riding at my new barn. This one's better in the way of experience. My first instructor at the old barn helped me to get over my fear of falling. I only fell once at that barn. The second barn, where I am now, is really different. My instructor is a man (the last was a woman) and he doesn't take crap from anybody. If your scared the hell with it, you might as well get over it because your doing it anyways. The first horse I rode there during my evaluation to get it, was a white arabian named Bob. sadly he's no longer with us, as last fall he coliced, and passed away. There are plenty of horses at my barn. You might one to skip this part, because its long. Interesting but long.

Flash - Quarter Horse mare. Age 15. Hates work and will bite the crap out of you.
Bo - Quarter Horse gelding. Age 24. Loves races. 3rd oldest horse in the barn, but one of the fastest.
Charge - Appaloosa gelding. Age 18. Arthritic, but loads of fun to ride out on the trails. Not a good jumper.
Chief - Bay and White Overo Paint gelding. Age 8. The only horse that has every thrown me off (theres a difference between falling and being thrown)
John Henry - Unknown breed of pony. Age around 15. The only horse I've fallen off while jumping. A huge scaredy cat. Spooks at his own shadow.
Dixie - Black and White Tobiano Paint Mare. Age around 6. My second favorite horse. Pretty much broken but still acts green most of the time. Spooky and high energy.
Shiloh - Bay and White Tobiano Paint gelding. Around 6. Dixie's buddy, they're owned by the same people. Only ridden him once as he's still very green. Pretty lethargic. Fun to get going though.
Reb - Quarter Horse/ ? mare. Age 22. A really b*tchy horse. One of the other horses I've only ridden once. They don't use her much anymore.

Thats all the lesson horses. One day when I'm real bored I'll do another when I name ALL the horses in the barn. There are about 55 or so more. The point? I love horses and I love my barn.

Watch for the 2nd part of this soon. Then you get to here about my job as a stable hand and all the shiz I put up with from the people who work with me.


This is not Dixie, I don't have any pictures of her yet, but I'll put some up later. This looks like her but she has more black on her.

Fierce - Christian Siriano Impression from Saturday Night Live

This was freakin' hilarous, I watched it Saturday night. I'll see if I can find the whole thing, but for now just watch the short clip. Its funny but nowhere near as good.

Must Watch!

Here's the official summary from SNL:

Project Runway's Season Four winner, Christian Siriano hosts this new show from Bravo, visiting Stephanie to sort through her closet. Christian tells Stephanie that she better work because she looks like a hot mess out of control super tranny. Stephanie has no idea what he's talking about.

The show also includes Bravo's wise elf, Tim Gunn, who tells Stephanie, That's a lot of look, and it worries him. He tells Christian to make it work, and they go through Stephanie's underwear drawer. Stephanie's dismayed - she thought they were just going to redo her bedroom. Heidi Klum appears to hug Stephanie and tell her she's out, not in, and she'll have to leave her apartment.

Fierce: It's a show just like Project Runway with the same people, half the budget and three times the catch phrases!

Good Music - and their videos.



Crushcrushcrush - Paramore
Not my favorite Paramore song, but people seem to be familiar with this and Misery Business.




I'm So Sick - Flyleaf
Wow - Lacey (leads singer) can scream (It's effin' awesome). This is probably my favorite Flyleaf song.

I'm really trying to decide if I like Hayley (Paramore's lead singer)'s hair or not. Lacey in my opinion isn't all that pretty - but man do I wish I could wail like her. Seriously - if you haven't watched that video, watch it. NOW.

A day of Triumph and Tradgedy in the Sport of Kings.

The Kentucky Derby was today. Big Brown (I so called this) won, with Eight Belles placing second (my secret favorite). Unfortunately as Eight Belle's jockey was pulling her up, she stumbled and broke both front ankles. She was promptly put down. So here's to the triumph and tradgedy of today's racing.

RIP - Eight Belles 5/3/08 - Greatest Filly since Rags to Riches. 2nd place in the 134th Kentucky Derby. The Filly who had enough heart to run with the big boys.

Guess What?

I ran the mile today - My time was 7:50 (yes I know that sucks, I haven't done any sports conditioning lately though, so I'm not in my best shape.) After I was finished, I layed down on the ground (more like collapsed) and guess what I found out several hours later? I'm allergic to GRASS. Yep, I'm broken out in hives like nobody's business. I know that you all really wanted to hear that.

Guess What?

Haha - I can hear the intake of breath. But whatever.... Okay so I've been really busy lately with my Grandparents coming down for Mother's Day weekend. However - I have an early release from school and I get to skip out on 5th period to come home and watch the kids - and make some money off it. So esscentially (I know thats not spelled right) I'll be on the computer, and can do crap like my blog for once. So, yeh. See ya then. Oh and - I start working at the barn Saturday - yessss!

Alls I have to say
David Cook - I told you so. Enough said.

Test 1

First important test tomorrow - History. Wish me luck!

ENGLISH

Okay - You know - I'm not racist, but I feel strongly for people who are in America as citizens, or hope to become citizens, to speak English. Saturday - I was unmercifully forced to go on the trail ride with the Korean family. I didn't mind that - until:
1) I was forced on to Breeze, my least favorite horse in the whole fucking place, to ride.
2) It was raining before we even got out of the barn.
3) I was riding behind three 6/7 yr. olds.
4) They didn't speak English.
5) I had to get off to show the little girl to hold her reins, and then to close the gate, because the stupid horse isn't smart enough to close gates on.
6) We went on the trail through the pine trees, thats really narrow.
End Result - A mad me, soaked to the bone, smelling like a fucking pine tree air freshener.

Now - I'm done bitching, continue what you were doing.

English test tomorrow! Wish me luck.

Really Annonying, But Funny.



We watched this in science today. It's funny the first time, but don't watch it more than once.

My Fave Smiley

I just thought I'd declare my love for Jace Wayland (even over Edward, le gasp!) and these two awesome smilies (if they can be called that.)

School

4 Days of School Left!

School's Out

School's out today, and its so sad. I'm going to miss so many people who aren't going to my highschool. W have two seperate high schools. Most of my friends aren't going to be with me. On the bright side, got a perfect on 3/3 of my tests. Yay!

Scary Movies

Ahhh, I don't do scary movies, at all. I'm sitting here with a few of my friends, on my friend's laptop, with sunglasses that make me look like a bug on, headphones, while listening to screamo music way too loud. Ah, good times. They're watching One Missed Call. After they're done we're going to watch Austin Powers: Goldmember. The joy. I don't speak freaky, deaky Dutch, mm'kay?

So love to all my TSBM friends.

Ummm, found out yesterday that even though someone (Kyle) sneaks up behind you and trys to scare you (asshole), that even if you're holding the hose (me) it's not good to spray them, especially if you have no desire to get wet (Dammit, good logic. Should have though of that sooner.) So yes, yesterday the back of my shirt was soaked for the remaining two hours of my 6 hour workday. Yay.
