i have a boyfriend, and he is what one would call a city boy. but, i can proudly say he is coming around quite well in the horse world. we picked a bad time to introduce him to the horses because it was in the dead of winter; so you can only imagine all the loads of fun you can have in a foot of snow and 40 below weather. i was sad because i knew that he didn't really like being out there and i didn't see him getting any more enthused about it when the weather got nicer. every time i asked him to go out there he would say no or i had to drag him out. but finally i made him feel bad enough about it that he decided to give them another shot and go out there with an open mind.
at first, like all beginner riders, it was pretty painful to watch. no offense alan really you didn't do any worse than anybody else we've taken out there. in fact, you actually did quite a bit better than a lot of the people we have taken out. our latest project h , if not he is getting extremely close. and best of all, i think he truly enjoys being out there and riding. now, we have even mastered the trails and going real fast! it's fun and i'm really happy to have an awesome riding partner for the summer. i don't like riding alone all the time and it's really fun when alan comes out with me. he's catching on quick and i'm really looking forward to this summer.

mowing
ok so today i was mowing, very interesting i know, and i caught my mind powers acting out again without my permission. now by this point you're probably thinking, "wow, this chick is a nerd" and you are correct. then again, if you are actually reading this and you're not my teacher or one of my friends, that makes you a pretty big nerd as well. while i'm straying ridiculously off task i have a question for a certain ap lang teacher that just might be grading this right now, do you actually read all of our blogs? or, do just sort if skim them and trust that we did the right thing? i'm very curious about what exactly you do with these things.
anyways, so today i mowed the lawn and something kind of dumb happened but i figured why no blog about it anyways. you see every week i now get the joys of mowing our lawn, which used to be my brother's job but i guess my mom decided that i need more money and i'm lazy. dont get the wrong idea, i do have a job but apparently that's not enough any more. and maybe it's not, i do have a car that i would like to get payed off before college and lets face it, gas prices are killing all of us poor souls who have to pay for it. plus i dont really mind mowing so much, it only takes about 40 minutes and it's good exercise i guess.
well, any other day i wouldn't have minded mowing but i had other things i wanted to do today, like riding horsies! of course i had to hang out with my sweet as well. he was already over at my house so he jumped on the trampoline while i mowed the back yard. by the time i was about 2/3 done with it i had had enough and just wanted to be done. and then, like a miracle the front wheel just popped off. it was at the same time my dad came into the back yard to pick up dog poop. i tell him it's broken and luckily for me he couldn't fix it that day. so me and alan got to leave and i didn't have to finish the yard, i liked it.

titleless
that right there is a horsie i want pretty bad. it's my favorite kind, the fresian and i love it. too bad they cost like a bagillion dollars and its almost impossible to get one if you're just another average joe. they are always black (my favorite color for a horse) and they have really long manes and tails, pretty! but my favorite thing about a fresian is their feathers. feathers on a horse is obviously not the same thing as feathers on a bird. what they are is really long hair that goes over their hooves. i tried to get a picture that showed it better but i couldn't find a really good one. they have got to be one of the most beautiful creatures i have ever seen in my life. they have their own special gate and when they do it it looks like they are practically floating. click here to check it out. they only show the gate right at the end but there's some other stuff in there to show off just how smart this horse is. they are quite the magnificent creature, one of the most graceful animals you will ever see. if you ever get a chance to see them up close i suggest you take because it's really cool. i hope some day i will be lucky enough to get to ride one of these creatures. who knows, maybe if i end up making enough money, i will get to own own one myself, wishful thinking i suppose.

oh yeah, prom
so yesterday was prom, and today i think im dead. got home around 5:30 and my dearly beloved decided to call me this morning around 10. for those of you who don't want to do the math, that's four and a half hours after i got home. one could say i'm a tad bit on the tired side now. i'll take some of the blame i did tell him to call me whenever he wanted. but i figured since he was there with me that maybe he would've slept a little more but i guess not. it's ok though, i don't mind so much because it was Alan but if it would've been anyone else, they'd be dead in my book. if you get to know me, you know very well not to mess with my sleep. it doesn't usually end well unless i really really like you a lot. in other words, unless we're dating for a long time or if your family and it's an emergency, don't call before noon!
anyways, last night was prom and i really had a lot of fun, can't wait to do it again next year. my dress was what i like to call amazing! plus i bought it from somebody privately so there would be no way that somebody else had the same one. it was red (my favorite color) with some fancy beaded stuff going on and yeah, not really sure how to describe it. everybody who saw it said it was really pretty though so i must've done a good job. everybody except for my dad that is, lets just say he might have thought it was a little too pretty for his daughter to be wearing if you know what i mean. and then there was Alan, he looked adorable, that's about all i can say. he had a tux (duh) with a red vest, red tie, and a black under shirt. it matched my dress really well and i gotta say, he looked really handsome. i liked it because i came with him to help pick it out and it's a good thing i did because he sort of needed a little help with it. but together i'd say we did a really good job with it.
for supper we ended up going to vino's which is a little Italian restaurant, and very cute. i really like the atmosphere inside, it was dark, with most of the light coming from candles, and it had a bunch of old books and wine bottles covering the walls. the food was pretty good too; unfortunately we filled up on salad and appetizers so by the time we got our meal we weren't really able to eat much of it. plus it was super expensive for what we got i thought, i don't like spending that much money on food (or my boyfriend spending that much in this case) but since it was prom i guess it was ok.
we started eating late, so we didn't get to the dance until about a half and hour or so after it started. which is fine though because usually nothing really happens in the first half hour anyways. finally we started out to the dance floor and turned into some crazy dancing monkeys. i'm pretty sure we probably looked like a couple of gomers at times but i was with Alan, and that's all that mattered to me is that we had fun. i'm proud of him though, he did a really good job dancing. he doesn't have much experience with it but the boy can move when he wants to it's really cute. a good chunk of our friends left really early so we just sort of scattered about the dance floor dancing with a few different people. i know it sounds totally carny but we had each other there so really we didn't need anyone else anyways. but before you knew it, we were dancing to the last two slow songs of the night and the dance was over.
and then it was off to post prom, now that's a whole other story...

tiop
like my title? pretty much just pushed some keys down and thats what happened. ok... i really need to do a blog entry here but to be honest, i dont think my mind has ever been this blank before. ickkkkkk :-P
rain, i like, well most of the time that is. unless im walking into school and it starts pouring out, thats not very much fun at all. a week ago or so it must have been raing pretty hard early in the morning because when i showed up for zero hour gym my friend Laura was completely soaked. she gets there about fifteen minutes before i do so by the time i showed up it was only sprinkling out a little bet so i didnt have a problem. all i could think about is how much it must've sucked to be laura at that time. well, a couple days or so i found out the answer to that question. that day, i didnt have zero hour but im wishing that i would have. i had to drive about 10mph because it was raining so hard that i couldnt see a thing out of my window. by the time a get parked and out of my car i see to my delightful surprise a river flowing through what used to be the south parking lot. then i thought to myself, well, actually i think it's better i dont type what i was thinking. so anyways i scurry my short legs as fast as i can into school. i dont think it really mattered how fast i walked/ran though because all it took was about three seconds out in the monsoon and i was already completely drenched.
so i get into the cafeteria, sit next to alan and just sort of plop dead. after i recover i decide to whine a little bit and think of my next plan of action. there was no point of going home to change because it was still raining just as hard outside. so i decide to call my partner in crime to come save the day. "Amanda!!! Help! I need pants!" i tell her. so she agrees to bring me some dry clothes when she gets to school. thank the lord i have her or else i would've been one soggy chica the whole day. Eww...

Horsies!!
i can't even begin to describe how happy i am to see that May i finally here. yes, it means school is going to be out soon but more importantly it means that the weather is getting nicer (or so i hope). but you may ask, "Now Megan, why is the weather getting nicer better than knowing that school is out soon?" and to that i would reply, "Duh! because it means that i get to ride horsies all the time now!" I guess one could say that i'm very excited about spring being here and summer well on its way. it has been a very long, very cold, and very crappy winter and god dang it! i'm ready for some horsies!!! i'm going through withdrawals here people!
if you haven't guessed by now, horses are basically my life. if i could, i'd spend every day out there all day long and do nothing but ride horses for the rest of my life. me and my horse out in the middle of nowhere, sounds like heaven to me. i love being out there away from civilization, out there, you've got nothing to worry about. it's like all your problems just disappear leaving only you, your horse, and the open trail ahead. people tend to irritate me, a lot, so it's really nice i don't have to deal with any of them when i'm out with my horses. for the most part, i'd say my horses love me very much and i don't have to worry about them getting mad over nothing and finding the need to argue about me over the stupidest crap ever. they just stand and be quiet, i like it.
overall i would say that horses are my sanctuary. it's the one place where i know i can go and get away from everything. they are my great escape away from all the hassles i have here in town. i'm positive that without them, i'd go completely insane.
:-/ <-- wombat!

Wild Side
i want a tattoo... fo sho. i've wanted one for quite a long time now and about ten or eleven months from now, i will have one. my parents might flip you-know-what but honestly i have no idea how they would react. but, i'll be 18 so i guess they won't really have much of a say in it really. might be grounded or something for quite a while but at this point, who knows? then again there's always the possibility of them being cool with it. i think there is a pretty decent chance that they will be. my dad has a couple tattoos so he can't really bad-mouth it at all and i told my mom i was getting one and she didn't seem to care much. she probably thinks i'm going to change my mind about it sometime before i'm old enough to get one though.
hee, my grandma always said that when each grandkid turned 16 she was going to take them to get a tattoo. the parents didn't approve, but we all thought it was cool. unfortunately she died when i was 15 so i guess i never even got the chance to see what would happen.
as far as what i'm going to get and where, i really don't know. i'm not stupid, i realize that tattoos are a permanent thing that i'm going to have to live with forever so i better like it. i've been thinking about it quite a bit and the one thing i know for sure is that it has to relate to horses somehow. i thought that maybe i want to do something like a horseshoe on my upper back, maybe with a rose wrapped around it, i don't know we will see.
the other day i found out that amanda wants one too which is totally sweet. :) luckily we turn 18 the same month so i told her we HAVE to go get one together. pretty sure her parents are going to disown her, but at least it will be fun... right? i think i want to make sure they think i had nothing to do with it as well because if they found out i was involved, good-bye to us hanging out i think. they already know that i tend to be sort of a bad influence on her so i can only imagine what they would think if they knew i went out and got a tattoo with her. nevertheless, i'm crazy and i like it so i think it's going to stay that way.
;-P

Yup... The Weather
when all else fails, i guess you can always blog about the weather...
so it's finally starting to get nice out, thank the lord, so i get to spend more time out at my horses. i love just being outside and being able to ride my horses comfortably without freezing to death. it also means that school is out soon, or in other words, i completely lose all focus i might have had before. in my defense i do have some help in the whole process.take today for example, here i am innocently trying to type my flippin blog post and i have some spaz sitting next to me doing everything in his power for me not to get it done. but, i shall fight through it and get something 's typed.
what's nice about the weather is that you can finally be outside without a jacket on. meaning, your skin is exposed to the sun and boom! no more looking like Casper. i know a lot of people fake bake, but i think it's a really stupid thing to do. it's not natural, your skin is white, that's the color it's SUPPOSED to be because hey, IT'S WINTER meaning there's not a whole lot of sun exposure, get over it, it's ok.
so there you have it, summer is coming soon! no more school, no more focus, and best of all, no more thinking. just eat, sleep, and ride horsies... woot!

Ponder Conmigo
ok so i had no idea what to blog about so i started googleing random words and in the search titled "juice" i came across this picture. im thinking that's a pretty sweet way to package juice. these particular boxes come from Japan. if you hadn't guessed, it's for banana juice.
now juice just happens to be my word which is why i searched it in the first place. i really like these juice boxes, i think they are quite clever and i also think that we should have them here in America. they should do other fruits like this as well.
if you couldn't tell, i'm at a bit of a loss for blog ideas so hang in here with me i'm trying.
orange juice is also quite tasty and i think it's pretty much going to save my life in the long run. (or at least my bones) this is because i border line hate the taste of milk, so i never drink it. but without milk, there's no sufficient way for my body to get calcium EXCEPT there is this magical orange juice that has just as much calcium as milk. so thank the lord, i still get my calcium. it's quite tasty too... pulp free even.

Two Questions
i'm going to be honest here, i didn't like this essay at all. i actually had a really hard time even finishing it. i thought it was all over the place and that is didn't really seem like the author had much of a point. i think i would've liked it more if the writer showed some more confidence in the essay. in my opinion, it seemed like she was unsure about what she was writing and it didn't really seem like she knew where she was going with it.
personally, i didn't like her style of drawing either. i thought they were too sloppy and all over the place, much like what her writing was. i thought that all the little side quotes by the creatures were distracting unnecessary; overall i don't think the added anything to the essay. quite frankly, i felt like reading this essay actually brought down my intelligence level. overall i thought the essay was on the childish side and i didn't think that it helped me at all when it comes to better understanding the graphic essay.

From Show and Tell (graphic essay)
overall, i thought McCloud did very well in explaining the graphic essay. he really did a good job on explaining the importance of the picture when it comes to writing essays. i especially liked the section where he has an essay with the pictures, and then he puts the same essay back in without it to show you how much work the picture actually does for the essay. he puts it quite simply, "the pictures carry the weight if clarity in a scene, they free words to explore a wider area."
i like the essay because it made me understand the graphic essay a lot more than if i would've read the same thing out of a textbook without the pictures. the graphics hold my interest an make the essay a lot easier to read and to understand. without the pictures, i don't think i would've been able to understand some of the terms. it's one thing to write a definition, but when you actually show you what it is.
lastly, i also liked McCloud's use of diction. he makes it seem more personal as if he were having a conversation with him versus him just writing an informative essay and then you reading it later. he didn't use very popular words so to speak, but he used his words in a way that you can understand them.

Txtaholic
good lord, ever since i got texting on my phone i haven't been able to stop. last month, 6,000+ texts, and the numbers just keep going up. it's a little sad i know, but texting permits you to talk to your friends all day, which i find to be quite nice. because sometimes, you have something really awesome to say but by the time you see that person next, you might forget what it was, or it won't be as funny anymore. plus, i'm a bit of a baby, if i had to go to school and actually just learn the whole day with no contact with friends (aka: alan and amanda) i really don't think i could make it! i'd be sitting in class going through text withdrawals, shaking like a scared little puppy dog. phoneless would be quite the traumatizing thing for me to go through. i'm pathetic enough that i have gotten to the point where i can actually text with one hand and write with the others with no problem. it makes life a bit easier you could say; i get a lot more done that way too it's nice... go technology.

The One
you know how everybody always says there's one person for you out there that you are meant to be with; a "soul mate" so to speak? well i think maybe i've found mine. it's only been five months since we've been dating but he's different than the others. there's something about him that's just different. i know i'm only seventeen but if you think about it, a year from now i'll be moved out and on my own. but i do believe you can find "the one" at this early of an age. my aunt did it, and she's still happily married; my grandparents did it too. we spend about every waking moment together that we possibly can and i can definitely say that we are both nowhere near sick of each other. i really really like him, love him even, and i've never felt this way about a boy in my life. i've gotten to a point where i'm not even interested in other guys, all i see, and all i want is him. i just have that gut feeling that it's very possible that we could be spending the rest of our lives together. if it happens, i'll be the happiest girl on earth.
i feel really lucky to have him in my life, he takes good care of me and i know that he will always be there. when i'm with him, i feel safe, like nobody is going to hurt me as long as he's there.
so alan, i want to say thank you for everything, for always being there for me, for your love, and for your heart. i love you!!!

"Good Riddance"
today i think i'm going to talk about my favorite song, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day. i really like it because it's different and i think the music and lyrics are beautiful. it's a lot different than most of Green Day's songs because it's really mellow and relaxed. "Good Riddance" has been my favorite song since the first time i ever heard it. whenever i'm worked up about something, i just pop in my headphones and listen to this song. it's almost tranquilizing really; in an instant i am completely calm and i forget about what's bothering me.
the song is very poetic and you can tell Billy Joe put a lot of thought behind the song and it has a lot of meaning behind it. basically what i think it is telling you is that even though life could be going really well, it can change in a second. but you can't hold on to the past you have to move on and look towards the future adn make the best of it. or in other words, "it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. i hope you had the time of you life."

Fat Children
so the other day at work i saw one of those kids with the heelies (sp?) on and i thought to myself, "what ever happened to just walking?" in case you didnt know, heelies are those stupid shoes with wheels on them so instead of walking everywhere like a normal person you get to "skate." so what's next for this fat world of America we live in?
i mean, i was watching this girl and apparently she could only take about two steps before exhaustion and would have to roll her way to the pop machine. it just makes me wonder what america is going to be like by the time these children are adults; and what about their children? do we really need shoes with wheels on them? every day america just keeps getting lazier and lazier and pretty soon, everybody will be fat.
just like with school lunches; they are trying to make "healthier choices" but then complain that kids won't eat it so instead they make "healthier options" so the healthy food is there, but so is the junk. TAKE AWAY the crap, leave only the healthy. the kids might not like it at first but eventually they will eat it. seriously, i really don't think that they are all going to starve themselves for a terribly long time. if they are hungry, they will eat what is given to them.

Must Not Look Hungry
alright, here we go my spanish food story. as you already know if you read my last blog entry i was on my spanish trip in chicago and we were now at the spanish restaurant. it was set up as two long tables that everyone sat at and then they brought out tapas (appetizers) for everybody on big plates in the middle. then everybody had their own little plate and you could take whatever food you wanted to eat in the middle and put it on your own. now so far, everything seems like a pretty good deal here, not really any problems; except for the fact that this wasn't just any food, this was spanish food. in other words, i'm not entirely sure what the heck it was but i told myself i would try everything they brought out.
it started out not too bad, they brought out some weird potato stuff but it just sort of tasted like potato salad, nothing crazy yet. after that it was some funky bread with ham and cheese ant way too many diced tomatoes (which i hate), but still not bad, still recognizable as food. next was just a giant wad of different foods, there was green bread with some salsa and goat cheese that tasted to me like lasagna, why i have no idea i can't explain it. there was also some sausage that strongly resembled charcoal, i took a pretty big bite and almost puked, it was disgusting. there was a mush of brownish something that turned out to be onions which i didn't figure out until after i ate it. and lastly there was the octopus... eww. no, actually i think that one deserved more something along the lines of, EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!! now that was some funky stuff i wish never to try again. you could actually see the tentacles still. it basically just looked like somebody just chopped up and octopus leg and then gave it to you to eat.
now for some reason i must not have looked very hungry because out of nowhere one of the waiters just came up and took my plate away... never came back with another one either and i was the only one who got their plate jacked i was mad. then a few minutes later they took my glass away as well. they brought everybody else out their refills but i never got another one. so for the last forty minutes or so i got to sit there with no drink or plate. it cut me deep, made me pretty sad; i suppose it doesn't matter too much though since the food was fake!
... still don't know why i was the only one who got their plate and drink taken away.

Cheecago!
took the spanish trip to chicago as i said in my last blog post ans i'd say that it wasn't too bad...
so it started out at the crack of dawn when i hopped on the charter bus in the south lot at a solid 6:00 in the morning! EEK! to my surprise though i really wasn't that tired at all. plus i had my gargantuan energy drink to help me out. what it did not help out, on the other hand, is my bladder. i actually had to go and use the bathroom on the charter bus, it took about half an hour for me to convince myself but i just couldn't wait any longer.
we ended up getting to chicago pretty early so we got to do a little bit of sight-seeing before we went to the museum. then it was finally time to go and look at all the spanish art our hearts desired. we split off into groups and each had our own tour guide. ours was ridiculous, she liked to get right in your face and ask you stupid questions and i hated it. as far as the art itself went, i was surprisingly really interested in it. i really liked looking at all the different paintings and learning about the stories behind them. overall i had a really good time (somehow) at the art museum it was weird, but i guess i won't complain.
afterwards we went to a spanish restaurant and got some tapas, but that experience deserves a whole other blog entry of its own.
then there was the bus ride home... ICK X 1000! it took us over an hour just to get out of chicago. we left there at three and didnt get home until a little after eight, it made it into a very long day. we actually were able to finish three movies on the way home, none of which i was the slightest bit interested in watching at the time. after that bus ride i was very tired and cranky, not a good day to mess with me. but i'm good now, life goes on. i just dont want to take any more road trips for a very, very long time.

WE NEED SOME MO'!
amanda and i... it's happening again!
plan of action this time, stuffing our faces till we pass out. tonight we are going to go to godfather's and not only get p-wedges and a desert pizza (m&m of course) but also a jumbo pizza to go along with it. i dont know if you're familiar with godfather's pizza, but the jumbo is pretty much the monster of all pizzas. 18" in diameter with 12 pieces, not too shabby. we are going to try and eat as much of it as we can, the goal is to stop before we go into a coma, but we will just have to see what happens.
afterwards, we are going to go raid the gas station in preparing to completely dominate on our spanish trip to chicago tomorrow. we plan on getting a couple of the huge cans (biggest you can buy) of energy drinks along with all the sugary junk food we can afford. come 6:00am tomorrow, we will be ready for one extreme day. last time we had just one of these massive energy drinks, i was shaking like a scared little puppy dog for a solid hour and extremely hyper for hours thanks to my follow-up bottle of mountain dew. with us like that on a bus to chicago... it's to going be one long ride. i pity the fools who have to be on the same bus as us
:P

Why am I Such a Beast?
complete pwnage in everything i do. today, my mind wanders so im not sure where this entry is going.. we will just have to see i guess
so far my ipod is full of awesomeness today; have it on shuffle and it's playing anything from AC/DC to Garth Brooks to Three Days Grace to Queen, and all of them are amazing songs.
i strongly believe that this has been one of the longest weeks of my entire life! its only wednesday! make it stop! i even get a four day school week because of our spanish trip on friday and it's still taking forever! i think i'm starting to twitch a bit, i need my weekend to be here. on top of everything, i get to work almost every night this week, the only days i dont is tomorrow and friday and on top of that, three out of five of my shifts are closers and one of the other ones is a five shift which is almost as crappy.
at least the weather is getting nicer... that's probibly good since its already the MIDDLE OF APRIL!! it is supposed to rain on friday but thats ok, it beats the heck out of snow thats for sure.
my grades are amazing these days, not sure how but i won't complain.
lastly, my poor horsie is sick and it bums me out quite a bit. he just wasn't quite himself last night, it took him forever to eat his oats and he didn't eat much of his hay either. he just seems really sad, im not sure if he just had a stomach ache or maybe a little cold i don't know. the horse just seems to be depressed, i hope he feels better soon.
:**( or is it?!?!

I'm Old
my birthday was last sunday and now i'm old, it's neat i suppose. since it was nice out i took my one and only out to the horsies with me and we rode them for the afternoon. then after that we headed home and my mother took us out to papa juans to eat some yummy foods. i picked that place because they have awesome potato skins, my favorite for sure. then to continue the awesomness we went home and ate my teenage mutant ninja turtles ice cream cake, it was quite tasty i would have to say. i had my aunt pam and cousin emily come over and eat it with us because they are both ice cream cake freaks and it just wouldn't be the same without them there.
then after that me and alan decided to go to a rated R movie (legally now) and it was pretty intense :-P we saw The Ruins and i think that it was one of the grossest movies that i have ever seen in my life. it was still pretty good though, don't get me wrong. there were times that i was definitely thinking i haven't caught up with my old age yet (ha! bad humor, but just go with it) i couldn't believe what i was watching. but i got over it and am liking the freedom that comes along with this new year. full license and R rated movies, not bad in my opinion.

Gypsy Bird
ok so i have a lil horsie (who is actually far from little but oh well) and i believe the thing has a split personality. either that or its just the fact that she's a psycho mare, who knows? one day, she's the sweetest horse you could ever know; she'll do whatever you ask her to do without question. then the next day she's the complete opposite; her main goal is to get you off her back and possibly kill you in the process.
well my mother decided that she doesn't want her daughter to die at such an early age so she decided to try and sell her to a trainer we knew who had worked with Gypsy last year. we figured it would be a done deal because when we had her trained the trainer had nothing but good things to say about Gypsy. "oh Gypsy's wonderful! oh i love this horse she is so well behaved! i can't even believe that there's anything wrong with her! I've even been using her as a lesson horse." but then when we finally got ahold of her the other night and offered her to her she just said, "no, i can't she's too dangerous of a horse for my students." WHAT?! you wouldn't stop talking about how wonderful she is and now when we offer her to you all of a sudden she's too dangerous? i'm thinking somebody was lying to us...
so i guess is was meant to be, i'm stuck with the dang horse and she's mine forever. i'm giving her a good month to get better, devoting all my time and effort into making her a good horse to ride. i have faith, i think it'll all work out.

Egg Finding Beast
as we all know last sunday was Easter, and mine started out pretty silly. these days with me getting older i don't really want to get up at the crack of dawn to find the Easter eggs, so i sleep while my younger brother finds them all. after he has done that, he always rehides them so i can find them again when i get up and am able to move.
but this year i had a little help from my goat-dog Bo. i'd just be walking around the house searching for them when Bo would come up behind me looking all mischeivious. so i'd investigate and it turns out that he had an egg in his mouth. so i took it out and immediately after i did so, he started sniffing around for another one. then, about five minutes he walked up to me with yet another egg. i was thinking all right, i got me an egg finding dog this is going to be a lot easier than i thought! and it was, soon enough he came up to me with another little colored egg in his mouth. Bo helped me out a lot this year, he ended up bringing me three of them and eating another, not bad for a dog i thought. i bet next year they don't hide the eggs within doggy reach... muah ha ha!
:~P

Not Left Handed? HA!!
the other summer my mom and i decided to go to a dude ranch out in Colorado and it was amazing. we got to ride horses all day, go white water rafting, and eat the most amazing home made food i have ever tasted before. but one of my most favorite days was when we decided to go out target shooting. i was in somewhat of a dilemma because i write with my right hand, but i do almost everything else with my left hand so i had no clue which way i should be holding the gun. the guy who was leading the whole thing, Eric, suggested that i tried shooting with my right hand first. so i did, and succeed i did not.
then, when i had had enough and was ready to try it left handed the man who owned the ranch came out and said, "I've never seen anyone try to shoot that gun left handed there's no way you'll be able to do it." he sounded pretty confident, so i being quite strange took this as a challenge. not hitting a single clay pigeon yet right handed i boldly said to him, "Oh yeah? Watch me." so i yelled to Eric, "PULL!" the pigeon flew through the air, i aimed, and bam! first shot and i hit it! i couldn't believe my eyes and i don't think anyone could believe theirs either. here i was some short little chick who had just achieved what nobody else had yet. i was proud of myself, it was cool.

Trees Hurt Cars
so last summer about two months after i got my license i decided i needed to kill my car i guess. why, i really couldn't say. of course i didn't actually do it on purpose but it happened and i freaked big time.
i was driving my brother and his friend home from lunch at the Red Frog and we were coming around one of the last corners before my house. it was one of those on-and-off rainy days so the roads were a bit damp at the time you could say. plus it was sort of sandy as well so that didn't really help anything. so i start to slow down to go around the corner when i realize that i wasn't really slowing down at all. i then start to turn the wheel and try as hard as i could to stay in the road when SKIIIIIIIIIDDD BOOM!!! it happened, i slammed into the tree and there was no stopping it. after the jolt forward i see my hubcap fly across the yard and i went straight into panic. i ran outside to the front of my car and i could see that the poor thing had quite the headache. no more front right panel for my car; and it all happened not even two blocks away from my house, another 30 seconds and we would've been home! but that's just my luck, or stupidity is what i probably should say.
ouch

Wuh Happen?!
ok so me and my amazing twin got the random idea to go snowboarding last sunday and snowboarding is what we did... sort of. she had never been snoboarding and it had been a few years or so since i have last; it got a little ugly at times one could say. i'm not sure how much snowboarding we actually did, but the board was definately attached to our feet if that counts. emily actually broke part of her board twice to the point where we had to bring it in and they had to use some fancy tools to fix it, we laughed, it was pretty bad. of the two of us emily definately won the prize for most intense wipe out and i acheived the longest accidental slide down a hill on my butt ever. it was crazy, but i'd say overall we were quite awesome, no doubt about it. we actually ended up boarding for three to four hours, what can i say we're pretty hard core (HA!!!). then we were starving so we ate lunch and then decided to ski for a few more hours after that. we pretty much busted out with full animocity on the slopes; people were afraid, little children cried, and fellow skiiers quivered in fear. we were beasts, that's all there is to it, complete awesomness.

Snow... GO AWAY!!!
ok here's the thing, iowa sucks, if you don't live here already... save yourself! stay away! for about the last five months or so the weather has consisted of snow, snow, snow, snow, and some more snow! i have five horsies and i would like to ride them some time before lets say, july! all there is to do is sit inside somewhere, usually my house, and be bored out of mind. i'm about to go completely insane here if this madness doesn' t stop!
so far we have had so many snow days that we are already going to be stuck in school until about the middle of june. on top of that, i believe our ice storm count is up to about five now, which makes for a pretty fun driving experience. i'm shocked i or someone else hasn't killed my car yet. i've heard we are in like the top either 5 or 10 snowfall records since they began recording them.
the point is, snow makes me really sad and it needs to go away so i can be outside with my horsies in peace. i tried to ride them through it the other day but the snow was so deep out there that they could barely walk in it, plus they're so fat they about collapsed so i just gave up. these wintery times are depressing, and in the words of Forest Gump, "That's all i got ta say about thaat."

Foooooood...
i'm gonna go ahead and say that food is absolutely amazing, me gusta mucho fo sho. depressingly enough i work at Godfathers Pizza but on the brighter side of things, they have some some of my most favorite foods in the whole world there. everything from the appetizer to desert, amaaaazing.... and full of fatness.
ok so first course we have cheesesticks and/or p-wedges. both oh so tasty you can't resist. of course when i make my cheesesticks i put about quadruple the amount of cheese that we're supposed to put on but hey, it happens. it's comes out of the oven all melty, mmmm.. get a cup of ranch dressing and i'm set.
then comes main course, the pizza, i mean what else would it be duh. what you do is put a teeny bit of sauce on it, the motherload of all cheese, pepperoni and then sprinkle a little bit more cheese on top of that. then when its time to eat i once again get my cup of ranch and dig in. it's amazing since there's hardly any sauce in it it won't burn your mouth right away when you try to eat it. plus, allll the gooey cheese, it speaks for itself.
then if i'm not on the verge of popping there's always the cinnamon struessel. crumble topping, cinnamon, two pounds of frosting, it's tasty, makes a good snack really.
there you have it, the reasons for my someday fatness...
juice ;)

Tennis Domination
ok so here's the deal, i have a twin named emily and as a pair, we are awesome. two years ago she decided to go out for the tennis team so i was glad to help her practice so she could get good before the season. of course i am amazing at tennis so it was good practice for her to play against me. but sometimes we got bored so we found other people to play against us in doubles.
..... ok so here's the thing, when it comes to tennis i have the biggest case of ADD ever heard of. last time we went to play we actually ended up playing baseball with my racket and a tennis ball; it was my idea of course. tennis keeps my attention for a solid five minutes or so but after that, who knows what will happen. but whatever form of tennis we end up doing it's pretty fun and we all laugh a lot.
disregarding that last paragraph my friend luke for some reason thinks he's "good" at tennis so emily and i have chellenged him to a match this summer and we are sure to dominate. but don't worry, to even out my awsomeness we are going to bring the love of my life alan with us so we don't end up making luke cry. it's going to be fun and i'm looking forward to it this summer.

Drive-Thru Trickery
alrighty then, its time for another story about me and my partner in crime, Amanda...
so we decide to go to Dairy Queen because the evil librarian told us we should get some food with that extra cash we had. now, you can't just suggest food to a person like me because my brain somehow transfers it into a command no matter what the situation is. so we were off on our food quest and with Dairy Queen right around the corner, we decided to make that our destination.
we had to get back to her house and study so we decided to go through the drive-thru. little to my knowledge, this was a bad choice because apparently my brain was nowhere near ready to handle such a task. but, ready or not, we ordered our ice cream and pulled through. the thing is, neither one of us were listening to what window we were supposed to drive up to so we just kind of guessed to was supposed to be the first one. but after waiting for a while we thought maybe we were wrong so we pulled up to the second one. as we pulled up we saw a guy walking over towards the first window so i started to back up; and as i was backing up we saw him going towards the second window because he saw my car there. he decides to stop playing chicken and pops his head out of the second window the the most hilarious look on his face that i've ever seen. it was as if he was thinking (and probibly was) "what in the heck? are they completely clueless???" or something along the lines of that but hey, lets keep this school appropriate. me and amanda about died laughing it was the funniest thing ever... you kind of had to be there maybe i don't know. but we gave him our money, he gave us our ice cream, none of us could stop laughing, and we were on our way. i'm pretty sure he went back to his fellow employees and had a good time making fun of us for a while but hey, as long as it makes people laugh, i really don't care if i'm not quite as intellegent as i should be.

Holy Canole
every once in a while when we let our minds wander we can come up with some pretty weird junk. they have a name for this junk, and it's called poetry. today i took part in this "mind wandering" and came up with this...
"Holy Canole" <-- I dare you to click on that
There once was a buck
Who ate a canole and said yuck
So his buddy asked, "What's wrong with you dude?"
And he replied, "It's not to be rude,
But this canole I ate
It just wasn't great
It was far too hard
It tasted like lard
So I'm gonna go home now..."
But then, there was a loud POW!
His buddy punched him and said, "You big dummy!
That canole was made by my mummy!"
"So if you don't like it," he said,
"There must be no brain in your big fat head!"
personally, i find my poem to be pretty sweet. i'm not sure about what the whole thought process was on it, but it's a poem and it works for me. hope you enjoyed it!
:-P

Blankness
to be completely honest here, i have absolutely no idea whatsoever on what to write about. i'm very tired, very sore, and my mind has gone completely blank. the foam cow on my key chain here has for sure seen better days. he lost his ear a while ago and after yesterday he no longer has one of his horns either. this is due to him being in my pocket as i flew through the air and rolled down a hill while i was snowboarding yesterday. luckily somehow i found the horn and will put poor Elmer into surgery shortly and super glue it back on.
what happens when you are talking to someone and you completely run out of things to say, but then again you still want to talk to them? theres like this big long akward silence that you cant seem to escape but you don't want to say good-bye at the same time. just another mystery of life i suppose.
lastly, why on earth are people so negative all the time?! stop it! stop it! stop it! you are not as terrible as you think you are. it doesnt count if you are the only person who thinks all these crappy things about yourself so why can't you just accept that you're not that bad of a person. it's just so depressing all the time and i hate it when people are like that because there's no reason for it. you are never going to be happy in life if you think you're this terrible person all the time and it's not healthy to be like that. people just need to relax and accept themselves i don't understand why people complain about who they are all the time when they are the only ones saying it. if you think you are really that terrible (which you're not) then why don't you just do something about it and change whatever it is you dont like instead of just complaining about it all the time it's that simple.
ok i'm done going off on my little rampage there i'm sorry if i offended anyone it's just something that really drives me crazy and i think people need to stop because it's depressing, plain and simple, and there's truly no need for it.

Research
- the first topic I would like to research is Schizophrenia. i think the desease is interesting adn i'd like to do more research on the psychological aspect of it; what exactly happens to the brain and what happens to the person as a whole when this happens.
- as we all know by now i am very interested in horses, so of course i would like to do some sort of research relating to them. this time i think i would like to look deeper into the genetics of horses, what makes different breeds what they are? colors, anatomy, adn so forth. go deeper into the science of horses is my goal.
- Beatles! not the bug but the band. the four guys who made music what it is today. they had such a huge influence on so many bands and i'd like to look more into their history and just what made them revolutionize music for the rest of time.

Brain Barf
Ok, so today I think is going to be a day where I let my brain just barf on the page. In other words, I'm just going to type whatever comes to mind as I'm sitting here and see where it takes me...
Do you know what I mean when I say that some people just have that voice? (ok so the question is a bit vague but hang in with me here) I mean that voice where they talk to you, but it's imposible to actually listen to what they're saying! It's so easy to tone them out that your brain does it automatically, whether you want it to or not. And how convenient is it that the only people who tend to have these voices are teachers, parents, and those friends who have the need to tell exagerrated stories and then quiz you on every detail later? Teachers, some have this voice where no matter what they might have just said, you will have no idea what it was because all you can hear is "wuah wuah... wuah wuah wuah wuah.. wuah! MEGAN LISTEN TO ME!!!" I try to listen, I really do, but as soon as the words start coming out of their mouth, my brain can't help but to wander elsewhere.
Another thing, why to ears shut off when you need them the most? For example, we always hear when our parents complain about things, but why not when they are telling us something important? Whenever my mom is telling me something I need to do or else I'll will be in big trouble, or when she lets me know I have to be somewhere at this time, I always seem to respond some type of supposed "Ok mom, I know..." but I never remember responding to her let alone even hearing what she said. It's like my brain goes on auto pilot and my thoughts go elsewhere... kind of like now! Ok, focus... foooocus, alright I'm back! So yeah I get in trouble for it every day but yet it doesn't seem to change any. I'm hoping it will with age but who knows???
... peace out <3

WE'RE GOIN'!!!
BBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGG.
Near death experiences, total gomer moments, and dairy queen, something Amanda and I can’t seem to avoid. Every time we are together, something strange seems to happen. It’s almost like our brain just shuts off as soon as the other one is in sight. For some reason I think I no longer need to think nor control the sound of my voice or what I am saying.
Happening #1: RED MEANS STOP!!!
So basically we were on our way home from band at K-Wood, I was driving, and we came to a stoplight just getting off the highway. I needed to turn left so I stopped and looked both directions to see if there were any cars coming. There were, but I figured if I went really fast I could make it so I wouldn’t have to wait forever. So being the spaz that I am I yelled, "WE’RE GOIN’!!!" Amanda having some sort of thought process going on yelled back at me, "MEGAN…NO!" which made me think "Why is she yelling at me?" So I decided to look up a bit and I notice that it was apparently a red light and red means stop. So I slammed on my brakes and giggled a bit, we could’ve been hit; what was I thinking?! Ok, so maybe the word giggle was a bit of an understatement, we laughed so hard the rest of the way home that we were pretty much crying. I was seriously in pain from laughing so much.
So there you have it, the first gomer moment of many to come. If you for some reason enjoy reading tales from my strange, brainless life keep reading, I have more to share...
