I Turn Everything Over

Last day of August. x] Yay. I'm ready for September. =]

Today was pretty slow...we didn't do much.

I worked on Bright Eyes a little. Finished Chapter thirteen. And I might write a little more tonight. It's coming along. I'm about to start part two of the book.

I spent most of my day finishing Eclipse and starting Breaking Dawn. I'm wondering if I even READ the end of Eclipse last time? lol, I must have been really distracted, because it felt like I was reading the ending for the first time. And omgg. I loved it so much more this time. I felt so bad for Jacob, I really wish she would have picked him...=[ Anyway. I read the first few chapters of Breaking Dawn. The beginning of it is really good. It's the rest of the book [mostly the last part] is blehh.

And we went out for ice cream tonight. That was fun. x]

Here's today's siggy...
Lyrics are from "Politicians" from their Nothing Is Sound album.

=D

I've Got A Plan To Lose It All

Hmmm. One day left in August. This time last month I was meeting SWITCHFOOT, after an amazing concert. Ahhh. <3333 Loveeeee them. Love them, love them, love them. If you hadn't already noticed. XD

Anyway. Today. It was extremely hot, like, in the late 90's. Pretty depressing for almost September. So we decided to go for a drive instead of working. We went to TSC for grain, and I got a new shirt that was on sale for $5. It's pretty cute, white with horses on it.

After that we drove around the city a while, seeing where my Dad's new job is gonna be. We did a little shopping, but not much. After that we went to our favorite chinese buffet and came home. It was pretty late when we got home.

It looked like it was going to rain and storm, while we were feeding, the sky was black and there was a ton of lightening and thundering in the distance, but none of it ever got to us. =/ Sad really, I was looking forward too it. Besides that, it felt like the sky was about to expolde, it was so humid. I really wanted that rain to cool things down. Oh well, maybe it will rain later.

I haven't done anything for Bright Eyes today, because I was gone, and I was having writers block. I think I know where to go from here though. =D I should hopefully get a good start on Chapter 12 tonight.

Here's today's siggy....

I LOVE IT. It's great. And it's Learning To Breathe,which is an amazing song. <33

=D

And he starts his engine, but he knows that he's missing gears

Wow. I had to admit I was a little surprised when I saw the date today. August 29th. Almost September. I'm excited. But it amazes me that August is almost over. In some ways it feels like it's been forever, in others it doesn't. Exactly a month ago I was in a Wyoming, having spent the day on a plane from Oklahoma, to Denver and then to Oklahoma. That was definitely the best vacation ever, but now it's time to move on, to look towards the future and what is hopefully going to be a great fall. I love fall, I always have. Maybe because I was born in fall, and always had a birthday to look forward, but I don't know, I've always loved the trees changing into beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow, and then falling down to the ground in the cool wind. I love walking through the fallen leaves and hearing them crunch under my feet. I love the smell in the air...it's just, in my opinion, the best time of the year. I'm excited for it to come again. =] I'm almost excited to have to start a wearing jacket again! Summer, or at least the heat, has definitely been around too long.

Today we went shopping...nothing to exciting. It was a hot. And my SF did not ship. =/ It's getting a little ridiculous, really. I want to get some more SF stuff for my birthday/Christmas but I can't say I'm really very excited about the idea of having to deal with band farm again...but if I do ask for some SF I'm going to warn my parents that they need to order this stuff VERY early.

I mostly spent the rest of the day reading Midnight Sun. Which is Twilight in Edward's POV. SMeyer posted the first 264 pages on her website today. I guess it had been leaked illegally [okay, so I actually knew that before it happened, I heard some people talking about how they'd read the first 6 chapters online a few days ago]. Anyway I guess SMeyer knows who leaked it, because she only gave a few people her half finished book, and all of them different versions because she was changing it. And now she's put the writing of the book on hold indefinitely. Eh.

But she did post the first 12 chapters on her website, so we could all read it legally. Slightly cruel in my opinion, let us read it and want more only to know there might never be more.
And I LOVED it. Ughh. Edward's POV is amazing, MUCH more intersting then Bella's, and I feel like I know Edward a lot better now, and I like him a lot more. Really in Twilight, and in New Moon and Eclipse [Breaking Dawn they hardly mention Edward, it seems like], I don't feel like you ever 'really' know who Edward is, other then that he's completely in love with Bella, ridiculously overprotective, and can have quite the temper. Oh and that he's Utterly attractive. It was definitely nice to know there's more to him. Anyway, Midnight Sun was awesome and I hope she decides to write more, finish the book and get it published.

Having said that...I hardly wrote any of Bright Eyes today, because of course I was reading Midnight Sun all day. However I think that was the best thing for my muse. I needed a break, especially since the writers block was starting to set in, and this seemed to give me more excitement, and inspiration to keep writing, and also to write better then ever. =D

Today's siggy -
I love it a lot. =D Pictures are from Lonely Nation, but the lyrics are from Faust, Midas And Myself, one of the most awesome SF songs ever, off of Oh! Gravity.

So...really I guess that's about all for today. lol. Not to much thrilling going on...the fair is a little less then a week now and tomorrow we might take Brandy over to the fairground to ride, but I don't know yet. We'll see what happens.

=D

New Look. =D

I'm really happy with the blog's new look. I really love that picture of Jon. It makes me all fangirly. :D He's really very adorable there. <333 I also added the lyrics from "Sooner Or Later" which is one of my favorite SF songs ever. It's just...amazing. So amazing. I love it. I will listen to it over and over again. It just...idk. Ahhh. It amazes me constantly that Jon wrote all these songs. All of them, so profound and deep amazing and omggg. It just, amazes me. But that's just what makes Jon Foreman the most amazing person ever. End of story. So for today. Eh. My SF shirt did not ship. That does not make me very happy. Rawr. Buuuut tomorrow it will have been 10 days and if it's not shipped, I'm going call [*Coughoruhyaknowgetmomordadtodoitcough*] so we'll see what happens. I won't get it by Tuesday though, regardless. =[

And as for the horses, well they won't be ours. They are going to be auctioned off on September 15th, in a town over an hour away, so well, that dream died. It was a nice dream while it lasted though I guess. And that's really all I have to say about thiss....

...so. Moving on. I started my project board today. Or display board, whichever you'd like to call it. It's pretty cool so far. I have pictures of brushes along with how you use them, and what their purpose. I have some more work to do on it, but I'll have it done very easily before next Thursday. Woo! A week till fair! =D

I didn't do much else today...it was hot and gross outside and it was just one of those days. We did watch a movie called Saving Sarah Cain. I liked it a lot! There's a book as well, but I haven't read it. It was a really good movie though.

Bright Eyes hasn't come along much since yesterday though. lol. I finished Chapter ten and am re writing Chapter 11, cause it pretty much sucked. XD I should hopefully have it done or at least mostly done by tonight.

Today's siggy. =D It's very pretty. The lyrics are from 'The Setting Sun' off of their Nothing Is Sound album. Yay for NIS!

=D

Say what??

Mhmm. It's been a good day.

Let's start with Bright Eyes. One of my amazing friends made me an amazing cover for my hopefully amazing book. =D

*We don't own any of these pictures. We don't claim to own of these pictures.

Isn't it amzing? =D

As for the actual writing, I haven't gotten very far today. I'm mostly planning out things so I can keep going.

Onto other things...my SF shirt is finally packing. Yay! Hopefully it will be shipped out tomorrow. I hope so. I want itttt.

Today we went to the storee...I got all the stuff I will need for fair projects and also some pictures printed for photography. Now I just actually have to DO the work. How fun. I do need to get working on that though, considering it's a week till.

Now to the big news of the day...yesterday I told you all about those horses, well tonight when Dad came home for work and asked if we wanted to go to the fairgrounds and see them. So before dinner we went to the fairgrounds to see them. The sorrel is a major sweetie. He was whickering when he came over to us. He was letting us play with his ears and we lead him best we could [through a fence] just to get a feel for his attiude. He may need some work, but I think he'd be quite willing. He's a big sweetie and was thrilled when I was petting him.
He's obviously a quarter horse, and has fairly nice conformation. With a little cleaning up and possibly some training I think he'd make quite the nice show horse. So.
We are calling tomorrow to see about getting them. It'll depend on the price, but considering if they aren't gone by next Wenesday they have to be hauled to an auction, we have a good shot of getting them cheaply. Hope so. x]

And today's siggy -

I like it. It's nice, it's simple, it's SF!!!

=D

Only The Loosers Win, They've Got Nothing To Prove

Today's siggy! I like it a lot. The songs are from 'The Loser' off of their 'New Way To Be Human' CD. It's a very good song. x]

So. Today. Well, actually, let's start with last night.

So it's almost one am, and I'm reading Eclispe, figuring I'd finish the chapter and go to bed. Well, I'm probably, three pages of when suddenly I hear my horse whinning outside my window. And then hoofbeats, running. So this is very odd. I never hear him whinny like this. So being a normal horse mom, I can't just stay inside and think "Oh, well, he'll still be okay in the morning." nope. Instead I get up, go into the living room. My parents were already up, having heard it as well. So the three of us walk out onto the porch. He's running around, whinning, Tango answering him. That's all well and dandy, but where is Brandy? [no ryhme intended]. Sooo. We get on boots, grab the flashlight and with all four dogs [because Heaven forbid they should let us go somewhere alone, we'd surely manage to kill ourselves] and walk down the hill in the darkness.
All four horses are there, Brandy having come over when she'd seen the light. So. Well, it was a good adventure, I suppose.

Now today....I spent most of the morning working on Bright Eyes. It's coming along quite well, and I made a blog for it, because, well, I felt like it. I finished Chapter Eight, and am a few sentences away from finishing Chapter Nine. It's coming along quite nicely. I'm happy.

We worked with the horses this afternoon. They did really good. Sheik was a little lazy, but all in all, a very nice workout. I think we will be doing quite well for the fair. =D

Tonight was the fairboard meeting. We almost always go, because we end up having a pretty big partin the fair, and well it's nice to know what's going on and to know 'the officals'. Tonight's meeting was pretty fun though, because my friend was there. We talked about what we need to bring for the fair, ie, a fan, a radio, LOT'S of CD's. XD She's also coming over this weekend to help me finish our painting for the fair. I went over to help her do it last year, so I guess we will be even.

Also at the fairboard, when we were walking around the fairgrounds we found there's two abadoned horses staying there. A pretty sorrel gelding and a POA pony that is quite adorable. I guess someone turned them out because they didn't want to feed them or something, and they are staying there in case someone claimed them. They have to be gone by the fair though, so they are going to be selling them. The one guy said they'd be lucky to get $20 for each of them. Sad what our horse market has come too.

In other news...I guess that's all. lol.

=D

The Plot Of Your Life?

Today was quite boring, really. It was sunny, but we really didn't do anything. lol.

I realized just a few minutes ago [cause I haven't payed attention to the date in...weeks,] that today is me and Sheik's two year annversary! It's been a long two years and we've come a long way from the half wild, barely halter broken yearling that I, a fourteen year old, found myself owning. Well, he was supposed to be my Dad's, but well, that just didn't work out. It's really amazing, to know that just two short years ago he was still this wild baby, and now, he's here, my sweetie. He's three and huge and gorgeous and has been to five shows [soon to be six], can walk and trot in hand, set up, back up, load in a trailer, be clipped, be bathed, will wear a saddle and bridle. =] Hopefully by next year I'll be looking back about how far he's coming again, and I'll be riding hime. =D

Love you baby. <33

Let's see...I made cookies today. My two time champion Peanut Butter finger cookies. They turned out really well, even despite the lack of chocolate chips. Yummm.

I've gotten part of Chapter 8 done on Bright Eyes. But it's going to be a long chapter I think, so I may or may not finish it tonight. Hopefully I will. I got one of my friends to make me a cover. =D I haven't seen it yet, but I know it will be awesome.

So speaking of writing, I was thinking tonight, as I was waiting for the horses to come in from the pasture, and talking to my mom, watching our silly puppies playing, about how I'd write it, if I was writing our conversation. What would I add? What I would I take away? I finally conculded that it would be a very boring random book 99% of the time. And then I wondered, why? Well, the random part explains it's self, but the rest of it. What would make it so boring? And I finally realized it would be the lack of a plot. Books are based around plots, around a certain event, or a relationship or something. With a plot a book is simply random rambling conversations and nothingness. Which frankly, no one would want to read. A plot is what draw's people in and keeps their intersts until the very last page. So this lead to another thought. What is the plot of my life? It's an intersting question really, quite the deep one, it involved a lot of thinking. I finally decided the plot of my life is growing up, becoming the person I am supposed to be, getting a career, getting married, having children, etc. It's all part of the plot. Unlike a book it's a short part of a person's life, a few months, maybe a few years. Nope, it's my entire life. One big book about me, about my life, and the plot is simply growing up, I guess. So maybe it's not something someone else would want to read, but hey, it's my life. XD

And today's siggy is....

Lyrics from The Beautiful Letdown again. =] I love that song.

Well, I think that's all for today.

=D
