Bwahhhh

I went to the NaNo kick off today. After getting lost in the bar next door, I did eventually hunt them down and got the join in on the insanity. We're a bunch of oddballs, I swear. There were two people that talked about Buffy with me, and three that just randomly talked to me about random things. And EXQUISITE CORPSE...oh it's great. You write a page, then leave a sentence on the next page and someone takes over. I refused to do it twice, then finally was convinced and stole the notebook from someone (who then didn't write. SORRY!)...my sentence had something to do with eyes...and ended up with flying hippos (I wasn't supposed to use those, no, the HP fanfic/anime girl across from me said they aren't allowed anymore, but since I skipped she said I could use them if I just wrote) and fig newtons and Krista talking to the guy (who had no name) about Passions and a demonic baby...I think I left it with..."Krista growled. Men. Didn't they know good TV?" Which, of course, led to a football game and being handcuffed to the bed, then bananas. Started with a chocolate army, I think. Kris had a fun time reading THAT.

When it came time for me to say my plot...
"Um...oh! Vampires."
"That's just about all we need to know."
"Yes. Unofficially set in the Buffyverse just do I can have Spike and Andrew." I got a high-five for that. ^_^

Annnd there was a bar PACKED with drunks next door. They all sang The Piano Man, and when asked why, Kris said "Well, it's a classic drinking song, and they're all obviously classically drinking, so...."

I had fun. I was prolly loud and annoying, but I myself had fun. This was all after going to get my costume. A kind of victorian-type dress from Hot Topic, vampire teeth, and a black/red wig I'll prolly not use. I just want eyes and a bumpy forehead. Really bad. Otherwise, I can just be Tessa. Yaaay.

Ohhhh and I met Scot's new girlfriend. At least, think she's a girlfriend. She KICKS ASS. She likes Buffy and lurves Taye Diggs. And I threw a Tootsie Roll wrapper at her. Yes. *nod*

I'm very tired. Very, very tired. I want to sleep. Maybe I shall.

Tee hee

Maeve basically got all the horses Tammy is running today in the Breeders' Cup races. Seth took any second horses she was running, but I think there were only three. And Mae has 7 out of 7 races to ride in today. She's very happy.

And she won the Distaff (Moonlight's Raven, a 3-year-old filly by Blaze Black, out of Moonlight Wish. Sister to the lurvely Triple Crown winner Blaze Comet. She's the cutest little filly...BLACK, with a stripe that light feathers off around the sides and goes and covers only half of the front of her nose. She's a good runner, might win Eclipse?) and got second in the Juvie Fillies (Just Insane. Tee hee, by Justa Risk, out of Insane Crazy. She kicks butt, though Justa Risk is a MAJOR sprinter, as is Insane Crazy, though she could go a mile. Justie will probably be more of a sprinter, but she did well here.) Seth got a rather good 4th on a horse named Gray Sunset that Liz trains.

Mile horsies galore, I say. Seth and Mae had mounts, and Seth got a close close second with a colt named Flying Fish (Honestly, they bought him, and it's an amusing name. He's by their stallion, Dark Flyer, out of a mare named Ocean School.) and Mae was 5th with a gelding (Tammy continues to buy horses from Keith's dad, but only occasionally. He owns a bunch of horses named after MST3k movies/shorts, which is why I love him. This one was by Soultaker, out of GirlInGoldBoots. His name is Dr. Z. Blood Waters of Dr. Z.) And THEN it was the Sprint, and, well, Mae continues to love Tammy. With all these little Insane Crazy horses running around, they tend to constantly win many, many sprint races. (This time with Spark of Insanity. By Spark of Brilliance, out of Insane Crazy. She's 4, she's golden chestnut, and she's faster than the rest of the horsies. Yay.)

Tammy bought a KICK ASS long distance turf mare, and Maeve won on her as well (Mimesis, she ran a lot in Europe. By Caricature, out of Meme. She's a darkish dapple gray with black mane/tail/legs, 4-year-old mare. Very big, very pretty.)

We still have the Turf, Juvenille, and Classic. Seth has a mount in the Juvie, and of course Mae is on someone in all three. Everyone knows that Shadow Lake kicks ass, and it's funny to watch them. I'm guessing we're gonna win the Juvie and Classic. Yes, I have decided. Well, I don't know. Still. 3 wins, two seconds, a 4th and a 5th. KICKING BUTT.

I shall be back. *Wanders off to watch the real life Breeders' Cup.*

OH...and don't ask who I want to win the classic. I'll just end up saying..."AZERI! Oh, oh, GHOSTZAPPER! Wait, no, FUNNY CIDE!" then walk away crying.

Wow

I'd forgotten why I loved horse racing so much. Why I adored every second, despite drugs, controversy, and danger.

Then I realized after the Classic that I was shaking, my heart was about to beat out of my chest, and that I'd been screaming.

An amazing sport.

Okay then...Ghostzapper won the RL classic, and my lovely horse racing muses just finished up their race day as well. In the Juvie, Seth won on a kinda longshot (Desert Wolf. They bought him as a yearling, and he's by American Chief, out of a mare that I think is named Lazuli. He ish pretty, and actually was around 20-1) and Mae got second by a length (Liz has a really good colt, named Traconnor. By Ecarlate, out of an unraced mare named Roxie. He's done really well all year.) She passed Seth after the wire and glared.

The Turf was a long one, Tammy doesn't have many mile and a half colts. Mae was 3rd (On a full brother to Dr. Z, named What Chicken. Of course, that's a lovely nod toward Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders, and his first colt is SO going to be named Creepy Monkey. I love Keith's dad.) Then CLASSIC TIME. Tammy and Seth got third in the Derby, won the Preakness and placed in the Belmont on this HUGE horse named....yeah, yeah...Blue Sun. *Giggle* I don't really feel like finding out his predigree, because I've done it far too many times already, but yeah. He's rather kick ass, he's SUPER LIGHT CHESTNUT, and Mae got him today. They won, and everyone was happy.

That means 5 wins, 3 seconds, a third, a fourth and a fifth. All around a wonderful day for my horse muses. Everyone tends to forget Tammy's horses if they aren't running in the Triple Crown, but she has a barn full of wicked awesome horses. *Clapclap of joy*

Josie was upset that she didn't get to go. *huggles her* Though Seth called her a bunch, and that made her happy, AND she got interviewed. Tee hee.

"WHY did I talk us into this?!?!"

Haunted Houses...SUCK.

Actually, I had a blast, but I can't feel my throat and I'm scared of everything now. Corners are not to be trusted, for SOMETHING will jump out at you. Don't feel bad when the thing in the Scream mask tilts it's head after you say 'I don't really like you', even though it's hard not to want to say sorry. DON'T scratch the wolf behind it's ears. When things start grabbing your ankles and girls scream because of gunshots, don't run back out of the house. You will have to do it again. Never hide behind Cassie, because the guy will follow you down. Smart people RUN when things jump out at them, not scream and stare. Never go to the exit room. When the crazy lady says not to scream, the best thing to do is to listen to her, and pray her psychopathic friend only LOOKS like a mime. Walls are probably camoflauged, and it's best to look around for them first. When Jason starts screaming at you, it only makes him more angry when you scream back. Strobe lights = wicked cool EVILNESS. The guy smoking a cigarette in the foggy room is only there to tell your little brother not to kick anyone. When they ask if you can hear, say no. When you start hearing chainsaws, it's best to stop screaming and get booting, because otherwise they WILL hit your legs. When you can SEE the line you came out of, and dozens of evil things start filling up the room, don't just try one side of the door. Just knock it down.

I'm so goin' next year. ^_^

A bunch of my muses went. Trisha was the least spazzy of all the girls, though she tended to HATE it when something touched her. Morca at one point where things calmed down for a second said "I'm SO gonna need a cigarette after this.", and then half collapsed onto Dhani...until, of course, scary clowns. Emily was, IMO, the best off of the mini-girls, though that's not saying much. She would scream, and then Zack would laugh, then all of a sudden he would yelp. Jason is far too mellow, he liked to laugh at things while Psyche clung to him (though note she would randomly venture off down dead end hallways and Jason would wait for her...and she would run back and cling to him again.) Sev...just hehe. He tended to glance around and when something that scared the girls happened, he just kinda had this 'Huh' expression. Catty was worse than Psyche. She basically stayed right behind Sev, holding onto his shirt for dear life and just about constantly screaming. There was one guy, who jumped out and then if you sunk down he would follow you and say "Where ya goin? I'm comin' with ya. I'm comin' with ya. I'm still with ya." and Catty finally yelled "I DON'T REALLY WANT ANOTHER BOYFRIEND." and made Sev walk faster. Then the second batch of people grabbing her ankles was followed by a werewolf thing, and she just gave up and scrambled onto Sev's back and peaked her eyes up from over his shoulder every so often. It was insanely adorable. When they finally got out, she started half-heartedly beating him for making her go. Then they got on the hayride and she curled up in his lap and said that she hated him, and he just kissed her and she pouted. And now she's making Sev stay the night so she can have someone to curl up next to, AND someone to hit when she wakes up randomly. It's teh uber cute.

And that's about it. I'll never sleep again. Grand.
