I have an eternal love of Eric Church's voice.

There's something about that man's voice that just...

Ungh.

It's not a kink, so much (though I have found I have a rather massive voice kink) as it is the fact that it's just so deep and rich and there are certain songs he sings that just... hit right in my soul.

Especially Springsteen and now Talladega.

I just... There's no rational explanation for it. I genuinely love that man's voice.

I want to go to one of his concerts someday. That would be amazing.

I had some happen today that I'm not quite sure about.

It wasn't bad. Just... I'm not real sure about it.

I dunno, should I post about it?

So the previously paralyzed pooch is doing better.

There was a major improvement this morning. Once she's on her feet, she's balancing on her back right leg and getting around fairly well. She's limping on it, but it's an improvement.

Her left leg is still dragging, but on the rare occasion she holds still, she can put some weight on it, even if she can't balance on it yet.

If she can hold still, we might get some blood flowing back into it and see how it fares.

She's getting stronger, which is promising.

I'm glad she's getting better, it's been hard on her to not be able to get around like she used to. We've been trying to keep it semi-normal for her, but she's got a lot of pent up energy right now and we don't have any bones for her to take it out on.

But she'll be close to normal soon. We just can't rush it, as much as she'd like to.

Argh, I've been tagged! :D

I was tagged by fischotterchen Rule One: Always post the rules. Rule Two: Answer the questions asked by your tagger and ask eleven more. Rule Three: Tag eleven people and link them to this post. Rule Four: Actually tell them you tagged them.

Favorite video game? Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. I just.. It's the game I've played the most and the one I enjoy the most.

Had any interesting dreams lately? There was one this morning, but it was supremely depressing, so I'm not sharing. One of my favorite dreams was where I was a Green Lantern with Hal Jordan and Sinestro and was going to defend my hometown from a dragon that was lit up like a Christmas tree. Instead of flying, I walked to my local college because I 'knew' that the dragon was looking for me and would attack me if I flew. I had to get an iron man suit from there.

What futuristic invention would you most want to own Gosh, I don't know. A Green Lantern ring if they're ever invented.

Pepsi or Coke? Usually Pepsi, but sometimes Coke tastes good.

Weapon of choice in a zombie apocalypse? Sword. Melee all the way, baby!!

If you had superpowers based on your real-life abilities, what would they be? The Incredible Temper? The Amazing Chicken Whisperer? The possibilities are... limited.

What song best represents yourself/your life? Long Line of Losers by Montgomery Gentry. With my family history, it's especially descriptive.

What did the weirdest animal you’ve ever seen look like? I haven't seen anything especially weird, but I do have a meat chicken that has feathers on its wings, sides and down the middle of it's back. Oh and on the head/neck. The rest of it skin. It is the tannest chicken I've ever had.

Are you an indoor person or an outdoor person? Outdoor. As long as I have something to do, outdoor all the way.

If you could learn one skill instantly, what skill would you want to learn? I don't know. How to successfully write a book, I guess.

Who is/was the most influential person in your life? Right now, I can't think of any living person that would count. If fictional counts, I'd say Artemis Entreri. He showed me at an early age that if you set your mind and will to it, you can do anything. MY QUESTIONS:

Your favorite dream?

Do you have any pets?

Favorite book or series

What's your greatest achievement?

What's your least favorite memory? (within comfortable reason.)

What's your newest ear worm?

How many times do you listen to a song before you get tired of it?

Have you seen a new movie in theaters lately?

When did you last feel happy?

Favorite/top three favorite movies

Do you play video games?

I TAG:

Anyone who wants to do it.

To entertain myself and distract from current problems.

I made a list of traits I want in a horse. Some of them are aesthetic, but still.

Gelding

15.3, 16.0 or 17.0 (depends on the horse and how comfortable I am with them)

Bay, Paint, Palomino, Black, Buckskin (I've always wanted a buckskin)

Well Broke

Age 6-12 (I'd rather not have another horse with three feet in the grave and one on the banana peel)

Loads well

Stands for Farrier

BROKE TO RIDE

Good Temperment

HEALTHY

Sound on all four feet

Easy Keeper

Good Confirmation (it's not necessary, since I want to just ride and take lessons again)

Knows both English and Western

These are just the traits I'd like to have in a horse, not absolute necessities.

But you'd be surprised how many four and six year olds aren't broke to ride and they still want thousands of dollars for them.

[tempest2004]

I am so mad and so done with my pathetic excuse of a life right now.

Not even a usually cathartic cry and writing session is helping.

It's stale and never changing and I can't see anything changing in the near future unless it becomes an absolute necessity and then it'll be a huge stress-inducing deal and no one will be happy and I just...

Can I please go back to 2011 and bitch slap my father so he won't leave his job and I don't have to feel like this?

I can't even put into words how I'm feeling. And it's not just shark week. It's work and it's family and it's my brother degrading and mocking me and I just wanna beat the shit out of him and put his head through a wall.

It's missing Austin and it's not being able to get out of the house and it's...

I'm 24 years old and I'm living like a fucking hermit.

Work, home, work, home, work, home, work, home.

This is my endless life. And when fall starts, it will be:

School, work, home, school, work, home, etc.

Just... I wanna be done with all this. I want my life to be normal again. I want to be able to use my driver's license as more than just wallet decoration. I want to do something fun that isn't a flea market every now and again.

I'm just so damned tired I'm having trouble being bothered for... anything, except sitting on my computer all day.

I'm so tired.

[tempest2004]

I'm one of those people who likes to plan down to minutest detail and hates having things thrown up in the air.

Some things don't bother me, like plans for a day, or animals getting out unexpectedly or even what's gonna happen at work today.

But when I'm going out with friends or, like today, planning for my farm, I like to plan out as much as possible and still leave room for surprises.

"Plan for the best, prepare for the worst"

I'm working on planning a huge farm that's going to be self sustaining and successful, but at the same time, I need money for the land, the actually land, money for materials and the time to do this kinda thing.

There's a lot of important things in the air and it's worrying.

But all I can do is just keep working and saving. I will have this farm. But there are things that need to be done first.

I just hope that those things don't keep getting in the way of my dream.

I finally got access to my Steam again!!

I have an opportunity to play TF2 with a friend and her sibs, so I wanted to make sure I had access to my account.

BTW, Rae, my Steam is HighTimeRodeo, just you know who sent you a friend invite! :) Oh, I'll need to bring my computer so I can have access to my e-mail. 'Cause Steam's a butt.

Of course, this is after I made another account. Urgh.
