Congrats, Keew ! I like horses, but they feel like mysterious animals I don't know how to get along with. I think it's because I don't know many horses personally. I do not like babies and I already told my friends that if they ever own one, I'm going to avoid then till those are children. Children are almost acceptable... I think at least. So yay for rebelling against babies and pampering horses .

I get along well enough with horses I guess. I just don't want to ride them and I got tired of having to take care of animals.
Also I've been dealing with nieces and nephews all summer. They need to go back to school so I can focus on job hunting more.

They both have their pros and cons... I mean a baby is cute and you can hug it, but its sort of fragile and noisy. Horses, you can ride them and pamper them but you also have to clean up the poops with a shovel!

I've been a "pooper scooper" in a parade as a kid more than once. Honestly, dealing with baby poop seems worse than shoveling horse manure to me, but I've done one of those things and not the other, so who am I to talk?

I concur. baby poop is the worst. at the baby shower they were doing this game where you melt a chocolate bar and put it on a nappy(diaper, americans) and people have to guess what the chocolate was.. and then eat it. It was so gross by association I had to leave the room!

That actually makes me more glad that I'm highly unlikely to ever be expected to attend a baby shower.

Yeah, I love chocolate, but... Hmmm... I think I'd probably end up eating it. I love chocolate. As long as there isn't any foul smell, I'll eat awful-looking chocolate, too. It still sounds pretty gross and the idea of baby showers make me uncomfortable anyway. I guess it has to do with the fact children is still a pretty unthinkable thing for most of my friends at this point, though. I'll probably swallow all of my child rejection if/when someone I care about decides to reproduce... Well, not all of it, but enough to stand next to the being for a while and that stuff...

I have concerns that Emily is having bad days. Her site was down the last couple days and a google search showed some odd references to exploity hacker stuff from some Chinese site. That's very scary and not good.
EDIT: Of course it's back again as quick as I post this and maybe it was my own internet being dumb (again)? I'm still pretty sure there was some weird stuff going on.

The wedding was lovely, thank you all. RE: Horses vs. babies: Babies are adorable and love to look at them and same for horses, but taking care of either seems like a lot of work. I'll stick to cats. Emily stop letting your website get hacked JEEZ.

X- Brinkster is moving the site to a new server with better security. If you can expand on the chinese hackery business I would really love to know what is going on with these never ending flipping malware attacks. Personally I have been scanning any computer that we use to access our host with every piece of spyware/malware/anti-virus scanner we can find, going through multiple password changes, but we're coming up blank as to how the attacks are actually getting in. Doing repair work is getting so frustrating. Please use simple terms if possible, considering I know nothing about how spyware actually works. Email me.

I actually tried to email you about stuff the last time something went weird on there and ended up typing your email address wrong. By the time I noticed that the email didn't go through it had been fixed. I sent another email with some more specifics, so hopefully my typing skills were better this time.

It sounds like a pretty annoying thing :S . I hope you don't get anymore. I think the only good thing about my site being a lost piece of internet that nobody ever saw is that I don't get that kind of problems ;P .
I had a pretty insane week! On the weekend I had quite a lot of school stuff to do but grey kitty didn't look well at all and I ended up getting her to the animal hospital on Sunday morning. She's doing really well now, but it was a big scare! Aaaand... of course I couldn't get almost any school stuff done in time. On the other hand, for some reason or the other I had almost no school this week, so could get to draw a bit and all, so I passed from being a ball of nerves to being a happy baby in a few days... Ufff!

Ugh. I make plans to to homework on a certain day and naturally the internet decides that day is a great one to not work. It's hard to do homework for online classes without internet. So now I have to skip out on a party today to do the homework that I couldn't do yesterday.

It's done.

Done? Awesome. I'm actually quite impressed. Doing something like that at all seems like a pretty big task. I'll be hoping it's well received.

The nieces and nephews are going to school again. The house is strangely calm and I'm not sure what to do with myself when I have real actual free time that nobody else is interrupting.

Thanks! I've handed it in so it really is over and done with (providing I pass on the first try). I did not enjoy the course but I met some nice people and hopefully it's a step towards getting a good job.
X get a cat, then you'll never have a moment of peace.
