Hold My Breath, And Count To Ten...

I'm sure everyone gets it, but tonight I'm definitely feeling it. It being that strange feeling you get when you wonder, "Why are they all so happy? All those gorgeous couples you see in the movies, why can't I have that?" Well, i guess the pessimist in me would say it's because this is reality. The romance you see in the movies, stays in the movies. There is not happy ending, every story has it's ripped and stained pages. People hurt each other, divorce is more likely than anything else, and we've gotten to the point where it goes unnoticed.

Now, the optimist want to say, Why can't we have that? Is it so wrong to want that happily ever after..? What about that fraction of a percent that has exactly that?

Aaah yes, this is why I refuse to watch romantic movies. I'll be sticking to action movies and documentaries from now on,

thank you very much.

A looottt has happened since I posted last week [I honestly can't believe it's only been a week]. First of all, things have worked out between myself and all of the people I indirectly mentioned. Second, things have been getting exciting! School is out in 1 month -1 day, and counting! Exams will be hell, especially because the 'rents are bribing me with a lovely little present, so long as my grades are good enough.

Next, I've been figuring out my summer, which I had been beginning to think was going to be boring, boy was I wrong. I'm going to be competing at a couple national shows, one a month, on 2 horses [it'll be interesting juggling riding the two of them twice every day of each show], I'll be doing a bunch of littler shows in between those as well, along with working. August I could end up in another province for competitions, and in september we're hoping for a week and a half long trip to the US. I think the only thing that keeps my parents OKAY with this is that I have an apartment at my disposal up north. They're quite pleased that they wont have to deal with the 4am wake up calls to get me out to the barn in time!
