Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't had much to say, and i felt that nothingness wasn't worth wasting Sd space. My new OLP CD came in the mail the other day--I've been listening to it nonstop since then. Honestly, how can anyone NOT love that band?!?!? Every time I listen to their music something inside of my head just goes Yeah man that sounds about right and then I just feel so happy, like I could burst with all the sudden joy i feel at that connection. I HIGHLY recommend "Healthy in Paranoid Times". HIGHLY. The Gordito Bandito--AKA Pedro--has been spectacular lately. He is having issues listening to my right leg, but if I do my flats really confusing, like turning around lots of jumps and quarter-lining and turning into the rail and such he forgets to be stubborn and just kind of pays attention. I rode Riley today and pulled his mane, which was nice. I can't believe how much of a swayback he's developed. I guess he is kind of getting on in years, but you know, some part of me always saw him as just my Riley that I had when I was twelve. I love him so much. He let me just put him on autopilot and it was so great sitting there not doing anything to get your horse beautiful that five people caught me with a ginormous grin on my face, and tears almost in my eyes. Gratefulness, I guess. I clipped him too. Record mane pulling time, ten minutes. It looks spectacularoso. Next show is the 16th/17th/18th--when I checked the board, there were TEN horses signed up--holy cow! I am seriously requesting tips for grooming all of those fools, because five horses and their spastic owners is bad enough without ten plus morons running around me like chickens with their heads cut off. In other news, there's a strange smell in my room that I really can't place, but really don't like. I really wish Chris would call me so I could find out what time he, me, and the pi are going out tomorrow.
