I was thinking about f-locking this, but I decided not to. I'm still BFF's with the friend that I talk about in here and I don't want anyone I know IRL to find this, especially because it's very specific and very personal and all that stuff. I wouldn't post it on tumblr, that's for sure.
But only one person IRL knows about this journal and she's never met the people in this, with the exception of my sister. I don't use my face or my name on here. And yes, I know internet anonymity isn't always as anonymous as I'd like, but f-locking this still feels pointless. Basically if you know me IRL and I haven't invited you to friend me on here please back away slowly, and if you start to read and go HOLY CRAP I KNOW THIS CHICK please don't comment or tell any one or anything just. Shh. I am adding this warning because even though this scenariois unlikely I would face really big real life consequences if most IRL people I know find out about this journal. Trigger warning under the cut for talks of cults and suicide.

Apr. 21st, 2013 06:16 pm Just got back from my barn's *fanfare* annual spring schooling show! Twelve hours yesterday, ten today, and I am about to drop. Oh, to be a normal lesson kid, going in for your class, celebrating your ribbons or lamenting the lack of them, and then going home.

Apr. 1st, 2013 11:37 am Last night (in between my mother picking fights with my uncles over the future of the Catholic Church, girl's as altar servers, homeschooling, and possibly gay marriage which I walked away from because that's nothing I need to hear) someone mentioned some kind of Irish faerie that usually appeared in the form of a large black horse or a a black colt with chains around its neck. So far I'm thinking they were talking about a pooka, but I'm not sure. Does anyone else know anything about Irish faerie mythology, or at least enough to confirm/deny this? Seriously I am very angry at whoever started the Catholic-Church-of-the-future debate because DAMNIT I WOULD RATHER HEAR ABOUT IRISH FAERIES.
Even if the faerie they were talking about wasn't a pooka Pooka's are still super cool. Apparently opinion differs on whether they're malevolent/benevolent, and they usually appear in the form of some kind of black animal. Apparently when you trespass on faerie land or are poking around where you shouldn't, they appear in the form of a black horse, throw you on their back, and carry you over a mountain and dump you off on the other side. Or if there's someone who they particularly want to give a ride to, they'll stand outside their house and whinny. If they won't come out to ride, the pooka trashes their house and land. What a little shit.

Mar. 26th, 2013 11:24 am So this morning I woke up to find that the internet on my laptop wasn't working and that we can't access tumblr on our wifi again.
Lovely.
Basically: the router on my laptop came unsoldered and went beserk, so I think my dad's going to get me a new one since I need it for classes. HOWEVER I cannot do tumblr anymore. If there's anyone out there with a tumblr who's willing to drop a line to shaniacantdance and tell her SHANIA COME HERE I NEED YOU I would love you forever.
I'm sorry for oversharing like whoa also being whiny seriously don't even read this SORRY.

Jan. 13th, 2013 12:45 amDoes anyone who knows how the fuck dreamwidth works know why I can't send messages to certain people? When I go to their profile the "send PM" button is greyed out and I don't know whhyyy.
Sigh.
Zora! Zora! I see you though! *wave arms* After the tablet died we pretended to ride all these water barrels my friend has in her basement back from when her mom believed the world was ending and then we had a impromptu shaving cream fight and then we ate ice cream while working out and then we arm wrestled and then we danced. I'm all sore and tired now.
Edit: did you ever verify your account? I think you can't send/receive messages until you do.
Sigh.

SO many good things!
So I finally worked up the nerve to audition in the off-mainstage kinda acting-class thingy I'm doing and I got a speaking part! (My black-clad, merely-a-shadow, BUT-YOU-LOOKED-LIKE-A-NINJA crew soul is shrinking into a corner, whipering "but we only ever had to stand in the background precious.") Just the one I wanted, too: the Cheshire Cat, so I can say "Haven't you noticed we're all a little mad" and grin in a creepy manner, which I love like breathing.
And then (speaking of we're all a little mad, perhaps?) I was messing around on my keyboard and found out that the intro of Emilie Autumn's Shalott and the Kingdom theme song from Rapunzel can be played with the same chord progression, and the part of my brain that likes connections goes "THEY BOTH PERTAIN TO GIRLS LOCKED IN TOWERS" and from there stuck itself on an endless SQUEE. Which reminds me, I don't have an EA icons and I should remedy this but I am dead tired.
Third, I'm going to Disney on Ice tomorrow and really the name says it all. DISNEY. ON ICE. The skating's amazing and the costumes are amazing and the music is amazing and goddamnit I am not too old to go to Disney on Ice okay.

Dec. 30th, 2012 01:47 pmZora if you're reading this I cantered without stirrups today and it was AWESOME. I rode Timmy and he was an excellent little yellow beastie I love him.
Also I had to explain to my sister's friend/my friend's sister what shipping was and apparently my friend already knew about it. It was weird. I used Niall/Leaf (like Niall from One Direction I think) as a ship example because of that one time I went into the neaf tag and it was EVERYONE SHIPPING NIALL/LEAF WUT which was not what I was expecting. At all. Also my friend's sister doesn't watch glee but listens to all of Lea Michele's songs and she was fangirling about O Holy Night and thought Kurt was Rachel's boyfriend. I told her if she likes Lea Michele singing she would like glee and she should watch it. I forewarned her that it was very gay and now I don't think she wants to. :(
