2013.

Some things were good. Lots of things were bad. 

I got to ride again, which was one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. I jumped for the first time since November of 2009, discovered that my seat is as good as it ever was even if my muscle is lacking, and found a trainer that I like. 

At the same time, it's not the same thing as riding with Mandy, who I think I'll probably always miss. It also didn't help having to give riding up in mid-September because of medical issues and M leaving the barn. I'm going to miss Mo the Moose a lot when I go back to riding.

I became better friends (I think) with a lot of people from the DW and Smillan fandoms, and that makes me really happy. At the same time, I lost a lot of respect for many people from the DW fandom because of their attitude towards those who dislike Clara (such as myself) and if it weren't for the fact that I like most of their posts and Tumblr saviour is a thing, I'd probably have unfollowed by now. This makes me very sad, because these were people that I used to hold in the highest regard and it's not very nice to have people that you look up to and respect make blanket statements about a group of people that you just so happen to be a part of, so not really thrilled about that. (Yes, I know some people's criticisms of her are problematic. My criticism of her is just that she rubs me the wrong way and I don't like her. It's as simple as that.)

I found out that Milan is one of the best people I know, and I don't hesitate to say that she and Stephanie are two of the greatest people I've had the fortune to talk to. They're both amazing and sweet and wonderful and I love them dearly :3 

(Milan, dear, thank you for listening to me complain about horses and boys and all of that crap because I honestly don't know where I'd be without you this year, and I hope one day we can actually meet each other and go for a ride together.) 

I'm terrified for 2014, terrified about leaving home and going to college (even if I'll only be twenty minutes away), and I'm just not sure how to feel.

I will say that I'm thrilled about having the chance to go to LeakyCon again, and I'm so excited to finally meet Stephanie (and hopefully Ary and Kara) and see Laura again. Fingers crossed the prospect of Leaky gets me through the rest of the school year, because I'm not looking forward to it.

(You four make my life better and I love you even if I don't talk to some of you that much and I just want you to know that. Also, Ary, one day we're going to ride together too, because I like horses and I like you and both together would be great.)

Who knows. Maybe I'll have a better outlook tomorrow, but right now I just don't feel so great.

Book Tag

Alright, I post everything under the cut, but I was tagged by the lovely Steph. Feel free to o this, even if I don't tag you! :)

Rules:

 Rule 1: Always post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.

Rule 4: Actually tell people you’ve tagged them!

Questions: 

1. Are there any fandoms that you’re ashamed of being in/were in? Not really. I, mostly, am proud of the fandoms I am in. Although, the Sherlock (BBC) one can be quite embarrassing.  

2. Most shameful ship? This is hard, 'cause again, I'm not very ashamed of any. Oh! I once read a FredxLuna fanfiction that turned me on that team for a while (it was weird, sh).

3. Your BROTP? Hermione and Harry, all the way.

4. Are there any shows you want to start watching? Well, I'm currently watching Reign, which has been on my 'to watch' list forever. I really want to start Friday Night Lights, though, over break.

5. Your favourite quote from any book? Basically any quote from The Book Thief. But this one is quite dear to my heart; "I have hated the words and loved them, and I hope I have made them right."

6. If you could bring back one book character from the dead who would it be and why? Fred Weasley. I understand 100% why he had to die, but still. Fred.

7. A characters death which you handled the worst and why? Harry Potter's. Though he didn't actually die, when I realized what he had to do, I lost it. I sobbed for 20 minutes straight, threw my book across the room and had to calm down before I could read it. That part still kills me.

8. Do you remember your first OTP? Ron and Hermione. I think. At least the one that stuck with me the most...or Ron and Kim from Kim Possible?

9. Whats your favourite food? Spätzle with beef stew.

10. If you could pick five book characters dead or alive to be your bestfriends, who and why?

Ron Weasley: I think Ron and I are a lot more similar that I give credit for, and he's so loyal. Who wouldn't want a Ron in their life?

Percy Jackson: Same reason as Ron, kind of. He's a wonderful friend, he's loyal, he's sarcastic, and I just want to be friends with him.

Tessa Gray: She and I are very similar and I think we'd get along wonderfully. 

Hermione Granger: Same reason as Tessa. Hermione is someone that I identify a lot with, and her ideals line up with mine.

Liesel Meminger: Liesel had such a great attitude towards life, and is such a good person. She is a wonderful friend to Rudy and Max, and she loves books as much as I do. I just think she'd be a wonderful friend.

11. Do you know your Hogwarts house? A proud Ravenclaw here.

Questions for the tagged:

1. Favorite winter activity? 

2. What is your favorite book?

3. What event in your life shaped you the most?

2. What are you reading right now?

I’m actually really in a reading rut at the moment — I haven’t read a single “new” novel since Allegiant, and before that it was House of Hades, and really that’s all since maybe September, when I was last really into a novel (Enduring Love by Ian McEwan, fyi). But I’m currently reading The Actor’s Art and Craft, a book on the Meisner acting technique by his pupil William Espen and his pupil Damon DiMarco. It’s really interesting! And written sort of like a story, so I guess it counts. I’m also in a perpetual reread of the Percy Jackson books.

7. Do you prefer to read one book at a time, or several at once?

Novel-wise, definitely one at a time. Although sometimes I’ll be reading something new, and then get distracted by rereading an old favourite, and eventually come back to the newer one. And if I’m reading a book or play for class, that usually goes alongside whatever I’m reading in my free time.

14. Favorite place to read?

I would say in bed,  bUT IT’S SO HARD TO FIND A COMFY POSITION. Maybe on a beach towel in the sun, at a lake somewhere. But that’s not exactly practical when it’s December and you’re in Norfolk.

44. Favorite film adaptation of a novel?

My “easy answer” for this one would be Deathly Hallows Part 1. It’s definitely the HP adaptation I’ve seen the most often, and I think it does an incredible job of translating page to screen. If I’m talking about something other than HP…maybe the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

55. Favorite guilt-free, pleasure reading?

I reread favourite series all the time — His Dark Materials, Inkheart, The Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter… I also have a soft spot for totally cliche-ridden “high society” type novels — poor little rich girls and all their socialite dramas and lovers and affairs, with excessive description of the lavish dresses and the huge parties and wonderful places they go to, and usually a bit of smut in there every now and then. They’re like the archetype of guilty pleasures, tbh, but I don’t feel all that guilty reading them because why should I feel guilty about something that’s just fun to read??
