Homestuck and horses oh yes

infiniteandsmall I've been doing a lot of horsey stuff lately--went to a hunter-jumper show with my sister and two friends. My sister and one of my friends are jumpers, while me and my other friend lean more towards dressage. We watched a young adult hunter class, the jumping and the flat, and then we watched a ten thousand dollar showjumping sweepstakes. Still think it looks bizarre to see how riders drop their hands so far down on either side of the horse's on the flat courses, even though my hunter-jumper friend kept telling me it's supposed to encourage the horses to stretch their necks down. A hunter-jumper frame is so different from a dressage frame and I just WHAT.
The other day when I was feeding there was a small flash flood in the area between the barn and the indoor arena, and the therapeutic riding class that was in the indoor at the time was trapped. A guy's car was parked around there and he almost got swept away trying to get it out. It really does become, as the barn owner puts it, "a RAGING TORRENT." Apparently that happens every so often, but I hadn't been there during one since I was little.
Fandom stuff though--there's so much of it. I've been starting to read Homestuck fanfics and I stayed up way too late last night reading a really cute John/Dave one. I feel like I need to get caught up with Glee fanfics, and also Teen Wolf. Plus I haven't updated my blog for the Fear Mythos in forever. Oops. At least now's supposed to be a cooling down period before shit gets all eldritch and monstery again. Also I did a Homestuck manicure of sorts on one hand (it's pretty much ruined from barn stuff now but oh well) featuring Prospit, Derse, a can of Tab (the Wayward Vagabond is literally the cutest), Dave's record (because it was easy to do plus Dave is a total coolkid), and a squiddle. Why I choose to spend my time on my nails, I don't know, but it's very relaxing and I like the way my hands look, plus it helps me feel like they're there and also mine. I've had a lot of questions about what the fuck everything on my nails is supposed to be. I usually end up just saying RANDOM DESIGNS I KNOW MAD CREATIVITY RIGHT because or else I have to Explain Homestuck and no one asked for an Explanation of Homestuck when they commented on my nails.
