Wishing I Could Do Something

Gosh. 

Today was rather odd.

First off, I was rudely awaken by Mother. She wanted to go watch the Quarter Horse show in Skowhegan , go to Hemphill's Horse Supply, and look at Will William's Horse Trailers At 6 AM! Oh my word, my brain seriously doesn't function right before 10 AM. Sad, I know. So, in my daze of morning time unconsciousness and spite, I took the longest time getting ready. By the time we hit the road, it was about  8 AM. Haha, yeah, I am that intense. We did normal things at first, like run to the bank, gas station, et cetera, the hit the road. Dunkin Donuts took such a long time for our order to some. And when it did, they didn't put the peanut butter on mom's bagel, and they overloaded mine with it. It was nasty. 

On our venture to Augusta first, we made a stop at Hemphills Horse Supply and we looked in the barns at the horses for sale there. Mom and I came across this sweet Standardbred that was all alone in a full pasture (if that makes sense...) and was so sweet. The poor thing had inch wide and 5 inch long gashes on it's body, and the flies were bombarding the poor horse. Mom and I sat there for five minutes getting the flies off from him and keeping him company. We left soon after that, and I was almost crying because the poor horse needed a fly mask and ointment for his injuries! I wish the place was close to my home, so I could go and help him! I am a rather sympathetic to animals in hard situations and I am really emotional about not being able to do something. I hope someone feels the same way as I do and helps that poor horse. Ah. I am getting myself all worked up again!

Next we arrived at the horse trailer place. Mom wants a horse trailer again and they have nice trailers. We are looking at a Lakota. Very nice trailers. The owner lady had the tiniest little chihuahua and it was rabid! The little thing barked and growled at me the whole time! I was a little intimidated. Sad. A 5 foot 3 teenage girl being intimidated by a four month old chihuahua. *shakes head* 

After that, we went to Margarita's Mexican restaurant and had a nice lunch. I had a taco salad and drank a phenomenal un-alcoholic strawberry pina colada. The icy drink was the highlight of my lunch, since it was 84 degrees (fahrenheit) and I was rather sweaty from standing outside of Will William's for an hour.

Then, we headed to Skowhegan. When we finally got to the show, the people on the loudspeaker announced "... And that concludes our Friday show. See you Saturday, Sunday, and Monday!" Mom and I were bummed. We then looked around at the horses. Such wonderful and well bloodlined horses there. It was crazy. We tried striking up a conversation by complimenting someone's horse, but they seemed to think us unworthy of speaking to her. *rolls eyes* We met 2 very nice people, though. A snack shack lady, and a girl with an energetic little Jack Russell Terrier. I like nice people. :] They make me happy.

So, we left, ordering pizza on our way home, and getting home at around 6 P.M.

The pizza was yummy and for the rest of the night I have been watching FOX News channel with Dad. Haha. I really do enjoy The O'Reilly Factor.

But North Korea's threats on 'enriching their nuclear weapons with Uranium' are scaring me. I wish NK would make peace with the USA. I hope that they see the big picture someday that what the Americans did  (whatever they did) was decades ago! But, oh goodness, I am scared. I want to move to a nice quiet country that doesn't have many problems. Like Canada. Canada is great. :]

Orrrrrr... Germany ♥
I've always wanted to go to Germany. I don't really know why. I just do.

Love Don't Live Here Anymore.

Not such a great day. I am going to say it quick because I really need sleep. 

First off, I woke up, as usual, to mom calling me from work to wake me up. It was 10:50-ish. I quite enjoy my sleep. So, I slowly got out of bed and got downstairs by approximately 11:15. Mother left me a crapload of housework to do, so I scowled at the piece of paper, thinking that if I glared at it long enough that it might disintegrate or something like that. I went to the living room and collapsed into the recliner. and thought of many things. My blog being one of them. I then started cleaning the dishes and then Dad came down to the house. He announced that Mom and my cousin Marty were coming home for lunch break. They brought me a sweet raspberry tea and a rather soggy sandwich. After they left, I went on my laptop for the longest time, totally forgetting my housework that needs to be done. Finally remembering it, I dashed to do it. Dad then asked me to come up to the painting shop (no, not art studio. Painting as in House Painting) and help flip doors for spraying them or something confusing like that. Got that done in fifteen minutes or so, and went back to the house and relaxed, made some art, and ate a ravioli supper. Yummy. 

So, yeah. Other stuff happened after that, but it is depressing, and I would rather not share it. In a nutshell, I was crying real hard and wished at least one person would actually understand me and my life. It's almost all good now. :]

Not an exciting or productive day, but a day nonetheless. 

Hope everyone had a nice day!

Bonjour, GSA.

Good evening/day/night/morning/whatever.

I haven't posted on my blog for a while. I want to, but I find myself too lazy to type all the things I would want to tell. Well, first thing first; I got a new laptop. MacBook Air. Loving it so far! A nice downsize from my cumbersome 17 inch Dell. I am thinking of sending it into that Colorware place to get it recolored to orange. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone. :]

Today, September 2nd, was my first day of high school at George Stevens Academy. Wonderful day. All the teachers were very nice and I am incredibly glad I do not have to be stuck in the same room every day with the same teacher all year. It's quite the liberating feeling. Definitely going to be different than S.E.S. Saw quite a few people I know or that I have heard of, but didn't talk to them, as I am quite shy and awkward around new people. It's sad. So. No more school until the 8th. Elizabeth's birthday. I really hope to do well in high school. Getting into an excellent college means so much to me.

About a week ago, my dog, Ruby, had an epileptic seizure. Her first one ever. I was sitting in mom's chair, and Ruby was laying in dad's. She then started shaking, but with stiff joints, it seemed. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she started trying to scratch her face, like something was obstructing her vision. I instantly knew, for mom and I watch quite a few medical shows together, that she was seizing. I sprinted upstairs to mom and dad, who were already sleeping, and I kept yelling 'Mom! MOM! Ruby's having a seizure!' Mom ran downstairs and so did Dad. Let's just skip to the next part, because father and I got into a little fight and it was not very good at all. Mom finally got Ruby's tongue out of the back of her throat, since it was lodged down, and got her breathing again. Ruby was then acting rather disoriented, as one does after a seizure, so Mom and I, along with Elizabeth, drove to Brewer, about a 45 minute drive, and got her to the Emergency Veterinarian's at about 10:30 P.M. The vet did a lot of tests and said it was a normal seizure and that purebreds, such as Ruby, have seizures a substantial amount more than mixed breeds. It was definitely a scary situation. She is alright now, and is going to go get spayed... next week? Meh. I don't entirely remember.

The last few days of vacation, I spent relaxing at home, on my new laptop, and watching the James Bond movie marathon on for three days. Haha. Those are actually good movies. I saw Casino Royale (♥), Goldeneye, and some of License to Kill. Always seemed to miss License to Kill. Hmm. Well, yeah. I really did enjoy Casino Royale. First time I saw it, I was on my eighth grade field trip, coming back from Massachusetts. Abby (Nowland) and I were the only ones watching it, and she had to explain most of it to me, as I was tired, parched, and sunburnt from a day at Six Flags. And not to mention rather cranky from being in the same hotel room as Mrs. A :/ . Well at least I had Nikki (Robbins). Gah. She's my partner in crime. :]

Also, I am quite in love with the song You Know My Name by Chris Cornell. Of course, it is the theme song to Casino Royale. How typical me. Haha. I really feel obligated to see Quantum of Solace now. Gosh. I really want to see it. Enough about James Bond movies, now. I am sure you, the reader, are getting sick of my ramblings. It's inevitable, sorry. :P

Oh, and I am quite interested in classical music at the moment. I really have liked it; but Elizabeth has made fun of me for having it on my iPod. What!? It's relaxing and quite nice, really.

Oh!! Forgot to mention that I had the worst migraine I've ever had on August 30th. In a nutshell, I was in Bangor, had the aura before the migraine, and then had such a severe migraine that I threw up in a bag for at least 5 miles on the way back home. I felt like crud. It was not good by any means.

Ah.

So this is my past couple of weeks for you. Rather odd and exciting in a not very good way.

Newly Brunette, Patient, and a Music Buff.

Guten Tag. :]

Newy Brunette

What interesting things I find myself doing. First off, yesterday, August 22nd, I got my hair lowlighted. It is now brunette instead of that oddly confused muddy dark-blonde-but-light-brunette color that bothered me so much... and made me look confused. (Which I probably was, but looks can deceive, yes? ;] ) I want it a little darker now. Haha. I'm by no means at ALL an 'emo' or 'goth' person, I am quite the opposite actually. I like khaki pants and polo shirts if that gives you an idea. I also love fashion, but I feel I look horrid in nearly every kind of dress clothing, so I refrain from being a trendsetter.

Newly Patient

Back to the future, now. Today (the 23rd), I was supposed to go school shopping with mother. But she, my uncle, and my cousin, are pounding fence posts into the ground for the horse's pasture. She recently came in and told me she is finishing them up and we can go in a bit. I, amazingly, am being incredibly patient and am just sitting here on the recliner with J.D. (cat). He is just snoozing beside me; it is rather adorable :].

But Still a Music Buff

I was moseying around on DeviantArt today, and came across Beth's (Roseyh from Ponybox) newest deviation. It is a fantastic manipulation and I hope she enters it in my competition on Ponybox. The song that inspired her to do this was La Roux's song In For The Kill. So I, always up for new music, went to Youtube and checked it out. I now absolutely adore that song. It is... just... ARGH! (I try to spice it up, but 'wonderful' and 'great' are in my vocabulary far too much.) Anywho, I also was looking around iTunes and found this peculiarly nice song called Lexington by Chiodos. It's not as good as In For The Kill, but it is different; and I kind of like it. :]

Now. Everyone check out Beth's DeviantArt account and admire her work. Raggle-x.

Also, checking out my photography account would make you such a darling. Amour-Extraordinaire

Here is In For The Kill by La Roux and Lexington by Chiodos.

Enjoy. :]

First Blog.

First blog. Exciting.

I have quite a bit to say about myself, as I am an outspoken person.

I am fourteen years of age.

I love horses and cats for animals.

I usually take things far too seriously.

I act goofy quite a bit on Ponybox.com, but that is only because I want to fit in to that community. If I acted like I usually do around my family and sometimes my friends, I don't think I'd be accepted as much. I've got a reputation of being overly silly there, which I am trying to fix. I am a really mature person and want to show the world that I really am.

Anyway; more about myself.

I am talkative, so I will most likely ramble on about random thinfs on this blog. :]

Thanks for reading,

Ashley
