Personality Downs

I am a very nervous person.

I have endless proof of this. Every little thing I'm not completely sure about, I have an anxiety attack about (granted, for the small things, they're only tiny).

And now, I've dug myself into a hole. I had my phone out at the end of study to make a note of some thoughts I was going to blog about because I currently have a terrible memory, and Sally came along and took it. She didn't even ask what I was doing.

Now, normal people would have gone and found her and had an argument about it. But of course, I'm a freaking nervous wreak, and I just left it. Sally's one of those very dominant, imposing people...and people like that scare the hell out of me, they always have. Especially at school, and in this sort of situation, I totally freak out about it when they decide I need to be told off.

Of course, they don't seem to ever realise this, and I'm left worrying about it to high heaven and snapping at everyone and at some point, crying about it. And sometime, I'm going to have to go and face her about it, which requires a great amount of courage that i don't possess.

Yay.

Musical Influences

So lately, I've had a lot to do with music and inturments. Sabrina plays guitar whenever she can, and I have music classes at school and play violin and piano and sing.

Just yesterday, I was sitting in the hallway with Sabrina, Jarred and Alyson, with Sabrina playing the guitar and me singing, for about two and a half hours. Kat came along and gave us ten cents and a hat for busking, we were there for so long.
Basically, good fun.

Also, today was my first violin lesson in about twoish years, which was interesting. The teacher - thankfully - didn't care that I haven't played since Christmas 2010, and offered to track down a copy of the book I need for me and bill my parents, which is good, because I have no idea where to find a music shop that would sell it.

Apparently,  had a singing lesson straight after my violin; did not know I was taking singing lessons. Still, I've always wanted to take them, so a very nice surprise there. I missed my lesson today though...but I'm determined to make it next week.

The last musical activity of mine (but certainly not the least) is writing lyrics for my friend for FAWM - February Album Writing Month. I love writing lyrics, even if they're currently not very good...I'm not the greatest poet.


And of course, to finish off, I just have to complain about a couple of my dorm-mates. I'm in a room of six, and there are two certain people who sit up till midnight on their laptops and keep me awake.
Which is why I was tired today-.-

Horses, Horses, Horses

I miss my horses.

I ave three at home, called Chester, Abbey and Dimidie (mah baby).

Chester is my old pony, he's 13 years old now...and 13hh. I've had him for aaaages, can do anything on him...he's worth so much to me.

Abbey is my mum's horse, though I've started riding her a bit. She's a black standardbred mare, and a complete sweetheart on the ground.

Dimidie is my five year old filly that I've had for two-ish yers now. She's a rose grey (she's turning grey, at the moment she's kind of grey/bay/chestnut), and about 14.2hh. She has a slight rearing problem, but that no longer bothers me (she's done it so many times...). I've been working on jumping and flatwork with her, she has heaps of potential.

At the moment, none of them are getting any exercise though. Mum doesn't ride very much anymore, as she has a shoulder problem, and I'm at boarding school - a good 8 hour drive from home. But in another two weeks, I'll be home, and they'll be getting some work :D

Just thought I'd share them with you, as I miss them so much:3

Chronicles and Wolves

So I've seen the movie Chronicle. We went to the cinemas today. The movie was pretty good, if a little gory.

The entire way through, I was getting death stares from the woman beside me because people were texting me in the first ten minutes, and then my violin teacher called me in the middle of the movie and I had to text her back to apologise for cancelling the call. This random woman glared at me and then slammed her handbag onto the armrest beside me.

As if you put your handbag within reach of a stranger. Would have been so easy to just go through it XD

And then we missed the bus. Brant reckons it was because I spent 30 seconds extra paying for my icecream, but I'm blaming it on the toaster. I've had a series of unfortunate events (woo, random reference) today, starting with the toaster. It took me three tries to get a half decent piece of taost, and then there was no vegemite!

So, very eventful day, and now I'm watching Doctor Who and Red Riding Hood (which is a slightly creepy movie...) and dreading having to hand my phone in. I'm not tired at all!

The only other wolf reference is Bad Wolf. I love Bad Wolf. One of the best Doctor Who plots EVER.

Commonplace

It's really awkward when everyone can just look straight over your shoulder and read your post. So I'll make it quick.

...and now they're paying me out.

I like Saturdays. Saturdays are good. Nothing bad happened on Saturday. We even got a random field trip, which was boring, but who cares? Field trip!

Sabrina is awesome.

I'm never sitting in the common room to blog ever again. All muse is gone. But I kinda have to do it now, or I'm not going to get it done at all, because I have to attend a social tonight. Which Alyson is not coming to, even though she said she would.

Also, we have an entire plan for next weekend. Beach after school on Friday, Beach House on Saturday, and the zoo on Sunday. The beach because Sabrina wants to go, the Beach House because it has heaps of awesome rides and Jarrod and I want to go there, and the zoo because Sabrina needs to experience some Austrailan animals.

Well, there's barbeque for tea outside, and I',m really hungry, so I might drag Sabrina out to experience some outback cuisine and see if there's something other than sausages and chops on offer.

If not, I have skittles in my room.

Posters and Paradise

So I've just returned from an awesome trip to Rundle Mall with a couple of friends from the boarding house, and from meeting my best friend there. She's one of my followers, actually - SilvaWolfMoon. Go check out her awesome blog:P

Anyway, during said awesome trip, I picked up an awesome Doctor Who poster at the ABC shop. It's massive, and took me a whole stick of blu-tack to get up on the wall, but I love it already. And now, everyone can see my Doctor Who obsession!

Paradise...at the moment, paradise is eating a chocolate muffin and boost juice for tea because we didn't make it back to the boarding house in time to eat, finally finishing my first week of school and having time to just chill without being nervous (I'm anxiety prone) all the time, and my cozy little room in the boarding house. I share my dorm with five other girls, but unllike me they don't like spending much time in here, so it's pretty quiet most of the time.

Paradise is also the lack of study tonight (YESSSSS!!).

I was going to be writing my thoughts on a certain topic each night, but right now I want nothing more than to lie back and chill with my phone and some Doctor Who fanfiction (10/Rose...<3). You're lucky I'm typing this, I'm making a huge effort that is really not something lazy old me would usually doXD.

Boarding School

So, so, so, so sorry I haven't been posting...I've been busy settling into the boarding house and getting started at my new school. It's all VERY new for me, living in the city, and at school!

I've only got time for a very quick post, as it is almost time for complete lights out here at boarding school. I handed in my phone earlier (which I already miss...it's my friend's birthday, and I only had time to call my mum before 9pm), and I'm not strictly supposed to be on my computer right now...but I figured I had time, since the other girl's are on theirs.

So far my favourite subject is Drama, and the bane of my life is Science. Study time was rather boring as I only had work for the first fifteen minutes....but it's only the econd day of school, so I'll give it time.

I've got two good friends so far - Sabrina and Alyson.

Alyson is a complete Doctor Who nerd like me, and absolutely crazy, which I love. Sabrina is from BRAZIL (!!), and is here to learn English. She knows it pretty well, but every now and then we have to explain what words mean to her, which is pretty fun. Her music is amazing as well, and Alyson is really getting into that xD

And they both have red hair :D

Well, that's about it. Tomorrow, I'll probably post something about my friends and family, and my little filly back at home, because I'm missing them a lot. I'm 800k's from home here...but only two more weeks and I'll be home again for a couple days.

Night!
