Horse Sense.

So, my life has been absolute hell, lately. Working at Starbucks. Training. Stressful. Coming home to fight with the parents and try to do homework.

Daydreaming about horses again. My dolls have fallen quite a ways behind the backburner at the moment. I need a new camera for my family, a camera for me, supplies for photography class, money for riding lessons and new riding boots since I never did have a proper pair, and also the beginnings of savings for a laptop for college.

I swear, I'm gunna live somewhere JUST like this someday. This one is actually perfect. Too bad it won't wait for me.

The Dreadful Trifecta.

I got braces yesterday.

I broke up with Nick today.

I start school tomorrow.

Bite the Hand that Feeds You.

Well. This morning I woke up around 7:30. I had a dream that I had woken up already and my snake was escaping from its cage. I went to put it back inside the tank and it constricted on my hand and viciously attacked my wrist.

I should have accepted that as a sign that it was going to be a bad morning, but instead I got up and went outside to give the puppy some excersize before getting to work on my Spanish scrapbook. My mother decided to take this opportunity not only to order me around, but at my refusal to do her shit just a few minutes after waking up, decided to scream and cuss at me as well. Oh, no. Now that I'm a "goddamn fucking bitch" I feel SO guilty for not helping you out. Yeah. Water your own fuckin' flowers while I "kiss your big, fat white ass." Ooookay. Then she calls and cries to dad who bitches me out as well. It's like...she doesn't even get that she's the ADULT.

Wait, wait. What?

ADULT. You're the ADULT. Most parents, most ADULTS, don't go around saying "kiss my big, fat, white ass" and calling their daughters "goddamn fucking bitches" minutes after their rolling out of bed. Most parents don't go tattle to the other parent so that he can play "conflict resolution" or, in this case, "ruin Jess's life some MORE." Most ADULTS know how to explain themselves. Now, after the fact, I understand that she was running late for work and she could have used the help. Okay. Let's think. Now, if she had explained that to me in the first place, BEFORE dishing out orders, BEFORE screaming at me, BEFORE calling me names...it would have been a different story. How the fuck am I supposed to know you're running late unless you COMMUNICATE.

Oh, wait. I forgot. We only communicate with raised voices and swear words in this house.

My mistake.

A Solitary Bean.

Oh my gosh. I grew a bean >3 One bean. Well...:/ There are others growing still, but only one was ready to be picked XD Here's a little update of how my patio garden is coming along :3

To be added later!




After weeks of active searching and YEARS of begging...-_- I finally got a car yesterday >3 It was one of those 'fate' type things. We were at a dealership called "Feeny Chevrolet" looking at a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. :/ It looked nice on the outside, but when I started it up for the test drive it ran HORRIBLY. So I ditched that one immediately and the saleslady pointed out a Chevy Cavalier for the same price as the Grand Am. :3 It was in much better condition and had only 67,635 miles on it. As soon as I sat in the driver's seat I knew it was perfect XD We drove it home for Dad to look over and he kept me in suspense while he crawled underneath it, opened the hood, tested it for every little thing he could thing of, all the while with this glaring determined look of disapproval on his face. ;__; It made me super nervous, but finally he stepped back, crossed his arms and said.

"...It's a great looking car. I like it."

XD So. We all drove back to the dealer and my dad negotiated and then left my mom and I there to deal with the hours of paperwork -_- Typical..XD Finally, I got to drive it off the lot >3 I almost hugged Violet, the saleslady, when she handed me the keys.

Anyway >3 Here it is, if you haven't yet seen it in person. It needs a name XD

Goodnight, World.
