I hope you had a blast in the states Cem! I know the feeling aobut needing to write things down as soon as they come to me - I usually keep some journals right next to my bed in case I think of things. The best part is waking up and rereading them and wondering how awake I actually was when I wrote it. I cant wait to read your song lyrics eaty, I really enjoyed what you've posted up so far. 11 dozen cup cakes sounds like a lot of fun. one time, I tried to make a dozen cookie with a recipe that said 12 dozen (but I was thinking it was telling me how many were in a dozen and i was like, DUH 12 dozen) but then it turned out I had make a gazillion cookies and I ended up leaving them in a big box at a neighbor's party and Im not really sure what happened to them...I hope they got eaten. Anyway,
today I...went up to the barn to help out, but didnt feel much like riding so instead I ended up scrubbing some old tack which turned out to be a lot dirtier than I bargined for.

I love your cookie story too Audrey, very funny!
I am back! Lol, yes I got back half a week ago safe and sound, but the day we left NYC I felt a bit ill and same on weds when we got home, by about 8pm weds I had a really high temmperature and felt like hell basically, truns out I have tonsilitis, so I've spent all my time since then in bed or on the couch half asleep. I'm getting better but still feel rubbish.
Anyway, yes I had a awesome time! I miss it! I love NYC. Virginia, Boston and Maine were all great too but I fell in love with NYC last year and it hasn't changed! I'd forgotten just how much I love it until we arrived.
...slept til mid day, moved downstairs and watched the European Showjumping Finals on TV and then watched CSI:NY for the rest of the day.

I am so sorry to hear that you are sick Cem!.
...Did nothing really, hung out down town this morning. Then helped out a friend with something then made cookies (But not 12 dozen.) so i had a lot of time to think about stuff i am dealing with.
Right now, i am having a hard time with my best friend (Who has the horses) Lately we have not really been talking, because she never checks her e-mail and lost her cell phone which is her only phone where she lives, so i don't know if i am ever going to have a lesson again from her. I don't remember the last time i rode, i have not ridden since July i believe. Because of her, one week she was away, then she moved the horses and i walked up to her house and she called me to tell me to not even bother to walk up to her house because she moved the horses, Then last week i didn't have a lesson because i stayed up most of the night and didn't feel up to being around horses, then Friday i walked up and she never showed up. Turns out she forgot to tell me she had other stuff to do for it was her brothers birthday. And today i heard from my mom that she is doing something tomorrow morning with someone else, and she was yet to tell me that i have no lesson. And i don't know what to do about it, i am almost at the point of giving up again with her and riding again.
Sorry for the long rant, but i just needed to get it out, because no one will listen to me, my other best friend and i had another fight the other day (This is what the 10th time in the last year that we have fought), and my family is never around. So yeah sorry about the long rant but i know you guys will understand.

Sorry to hear you werent feeling good Cem. Im glad you loved your trip. It sounds like you had a blast.
As for you, Eaty, I honestly can say that I am truly sorry that you are in such a difficult position. We are always here for you. I hope you get to ride soon, I know how crazy it gets not riding for a while.
Today I...
walked in on my mom crying and realized that it has been almost two weeks and I havent seen my mom close with a horse, let alone riding. The doctor said she was fine to ride again, but she still wont go up to the barn for more than ten minutes. Our barn manager Maura has been taking over her lessons, and I've been exercising her horses for her and doing her chores, but soon I'll be in school and I wont be able to. Im truly worried that my mom wont get back on a horse. Worse yet, I heard my parents talking and my dad said he had to go back to the city on Thursday for a few nights, so its just me and my mom at home becasue my brother has gone back to school, my other brother doesnt live at home, and my sister has also gone back to college. Plus there is all this weird awkward tension between my mom and I, and while I really want to console her and make things better, it seems like shes mad at me for what happened. I know it sounds crazy, but I think she blames me for what happened, since she hardly ever goes out on the cross country course any more and I sort of talked her into it that day. Ive grown up around horses long enough to know that these things arent really at fault of anyone, but it still doesnt make the guilt go away. Anyway, thats my rant.

Thanks Audrey, She e-mailed me the other night, and we are going to try and work it out, she is about to start school. So we are going to let it slow down a bit before we work again. We will see when if it does happen.
And i am so sorry about the stuff that is going on with you and your mom. I can't really think of anything to say to help. You could try and write a note to her, and tell her how you feel about this whole thing and try to reason with her. That is just an idea.
...Did just about nothing other then talk to a new friend. I met someone online, and we are like long lost sisters. We have the same birthday, and all this stuff and we have been talking now for two days.

I really feel for both of you. If you guys just want someone to rant to or anything feel free to email me any time.
Eaty, thats weird about having that stuff in common. There's this gorl I chatt to online and the amount of stuff we have in common is scary!! We don't have the same birthday but we like a lot of the same stuff and think the same about pretty much everything, its very strange!

Thanks Cem. It is still the same right now as it last was, i have not heard from her in almost a week, so we will see how it goes.
And it is so weird with this, all this stuff we have in common. Turns out she is thinking of going to college in the city i live in! and is going to be coming here to look at it next year.
...I Finally got my new bed, and it is awesome. I am sitting on it right now. And it was so hot here, then there was a huge storm near here, not in my town, on the other side of the city. And i got my 2nd pay check from work.

I hope things work out with your friend, I'm glad that at least they aren't worse. ...applyed for a job I really want but doubt I'll get, spent a fair bit of time job hunting. I hate job hunting! |

this is sort of hard for me to type, so bear with me for a few minutes. As some of you know, my dad was offered a job in the city a few months back. Lately, my parents have been fighting more and more and today, he told my mom that he needed to get away from all everything and that he was going to take the job. Im not sure what this means, beacsue I dont think my parents are getting divorced. I think it just means that hes going to live in the city for a while and sort his thoughts out. The loss of Lucas was really hard on everyone, and I guess my parents both trained him and its like they cant get over what happened so they have to fight with each other or something. Well anyway, my dad has been looking for apartments for a few days and he thinks he found one. I guess its good for everyone to get some room, but I never expected him to choose his job over his family. I know thats probably not what hes doing, but it sort of feels like it....anyway,
today I...rode my friend Becca's horse for her becasue she was visiting colleges for the weekend and then turned Pierre and Stanley out. around noon I managed to sort through some things for school, which starts up on Wed for me. In some ways, it will be nice to have an excuse to leave the house for the majority of the day.

Oh my god Audrey!! I am so sorry for you!! But i sort of know how you feel. My dad left my family 7 years ago, so i live with just my mom and brothers. So i know how it feels to have your dad move away, it was hard at first for us, but it has gotten better. So if you need to talk to someone, feel free to e-mail me anytime. Remember we are here for you.
...Did just about nothing. Right now i am listening to a CD for a musical my friend wants me to learn. And later i might be going to the movies to see the 5th HP movie.

Audrey I'm so sorry. That must be so hard for you. I understand about you looking forward to school for the escape from the house, my parents have come very, very close to splitting up about 4 times in the last three years and there's still a chance they will and I like having an excuse to not be there for a whlie when things are bad. Its nice to have a distraction. If you wanna talk or rant or talk about completely different stuff or anything, email me any time. ANd Eaty's right, we're here for you.
I've had a bit of a rough week. I've been ill since I got home from the State's a week and a half ago with two different infections and I probably have to go back to the doctors to have blood tests done. My doctor says I might have something called Glandular Fever, if I do I'm gonna be ill for months rather than a week or two and I can pretty much forget getting a job til I'm better cause I won't be able to work a full day. Sigh. I've been sick for a little over 7 and a half years with M.E. which has pretty much the same symtoms as Glandular Fever so at least I know how to deal with it is I do have it, but it will be a bit of a blow because it mostly effects energy levels and will basically set me back at least 6 months. So it will take me at least that long, probably longer to build up my energy levels to what the were before I got ill.
...watched the Formula 1 Grand Prix then went to Church and heard my friend give her testimony (her story of her relationship with God) which was very cool. Then me and her and a load of our other friends who were there went to the pub for a drink. And I had to say goodbye to my closest friend cause she's going home (which is about a 3 or 4 hour car drive away) tomorrow and I won't see her till Christmas. So a bit of an up and down day really!

...went to the doctor and was told I most likely do have glandular fever <insert half a dozen swear words here> but I have to go back tomorrow to see the nurse to get blood tests done to confirm it, so I won't know for sure for about a week. But it doesn't look good. I have to miss my cousin's wedding this weekend because I'm not well enough to go (she lives in Germany so it means flying and spending the weekend in a hotel), it will take to much out of me. So I'm pretty disappointed about that.
On a better note I'm heading out to the pub with a group of friends tonight, so that will be nice, just a chance to sit and chat.

Cem that really suck!!!!!!!!! (The "insert a dozen swear words here" made me laugh, and i really know the feeling of wanted to do that. Sometime i swear (Don't mind that bit of a joke, i really didn't mean to put it in.) i am a salior because i swear so much) i sort of know how you feel. I lot of my life i was sick, for some reason i got sick every month with a cold. But that has changed for me, but still it sucks!!!. But on a better note, i did go see Order of the Phoenix the other night, It was really good!.
...I have done nothing really, but i might go get a bank account later (I don't have one yet).
