equestrian competition
Paige invited me to her equestrian competition at Ayr Hill; conveniently 5 minutes drive from my house. It was a glorious morning for it & I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
These are some of the photographs I took.
Meet Paige & Rufus;

Thankyou to Paige & Rufus for the great subjects for today’s photography, I look forward to next time.
Horse and rider makes the best subjects don’t they.

I feel sorry for Britney too. She’s gone completely bonkers from the stress. She used to be so pretty and inocent I think thats why I liked her. Plus I was 13 and probably would of jumped on anything with legs…Sigh, how times don’t change.
It’s not really that funny – whats funny is that when packing I found Britney CDs and put em on FULL BLAST. Lucky on repeat. Now THATS funny :D

These look like a lot of fun- I love the rotation on the last one.
I’m glad you like the crazy results from the cross process. Like I said, they’re all natural.
As for my Valentine’s Day, it was suspenseful. I sent someone a surprise that involved putting myself out there a bit, and she ended up not checking her mail until I suggested it (at 8:00 that night). Don’t worry, it was 100% handmade, involving a print of one of my photos and some other art supplies. I am not into commodified holidays either, but it was a nice occasion to do something nice for someone. She ended up very happy, and therefore I did as well.

‘don’t know what to say, who’s more glamorous: the girl, or the horse? (if there were you, I’d never hesitate…)

Sigh I think Im still at an impressionable age – with the right smile a girl could melt my heart.
I tend to follow only a few blogs and comment even fewer. I’m elitist in the company I keep. I think your right about it being about social acceptance. To make connections with other people, you read and see there words and you feel like you know them. Someitmes part of their live by commenting and you hate the idea of being rejected and forgotten. To lose followers.
Do you have reasons for the blogs yo ufollow – for example mine – why continue to read it? what is there for you
Have you found a lot of Blogs that are obviously there for gain and persuation rather than as a blog (web log) It must suck to not be able to sleep becasue of your breathing – but like you say you realise constantly that life isnt as bad as it seems.

The thought never really crossed my mind. But I guess your right. R really is so much like me – paranoid, trusting and weird. Such constant jumps in emotions and ideas…but he is/could be drugged so its not his fault.
I found this and was just coming onto WordPress to tell you so check it out

My gosh that first comment on your post was such a long time ago. I guess I keep coming back because I like to seeyou images and see how they progress – plus I’m polite enough to reply (In a “Hello Remember me” way :D)
I’m glad I made you laugh – although not nescessarily done on purpose I don’t tend to think too much about my words. but there are times when I hope that someone reads my blog and stops for a moment to consider their lives and make a small change – to be happier or to make someone else smile.
I have a friend like the one you describe. I found them via a mixed MSN conversation and we have been friends ever since.
Your always very complimentary about my blog, my writing and my pictures and I appreciate that. I don’t think I would bother replying to you if you were mean but you seem like a very nice girl, thoughtful and considerate of other people – always wanting to do the best you can and to help others. Its really refreshing.
I love that I’m on your blogroll – spawned from a random honest comment on a post (No Idea how I initially got their) – and thanks for the honesty – lies and sugar complicate things.

I’m very glad to hear that it went well :) Your photos are legend (as always) and asking you to do them was definitely a bright idea on Paige’s side.
How’s the asthma, btw? And how was your Vday?
Craving :)
