First Live Journal Entry
I've had this LJ for a little while now but have been too wussy/busy to get around to doing anything with it. But now that most of the fic I like seems to be posted to Live Journals before its archived, or isn't archived at all, I feel I have to take the plunge.
I'm in 'Six Feet Under' withdrawal after finishing S4 on DVD and now have to wait until next year for S5 to come out. On the upside I really enjoyed watching 'Dirty Pretty Things' tonight and am grateful to the Amazon rental service for all the films they've been sending that I haven't had to buy on DVD. Also impatiently awaiting S2 of Deadwood and Carnivale and looking forward to my Veronica Mars boxset to go from 'awaiting stock' on play.com to 'shipped'.

Re: Helllooooooooo!!!!!
I know all about the wanting a pony thing, my mom and I were exactly the same. When I was 17 I was at a family funeral and got talking to some relative I never knew I had, turned out that his son(apparently my cousing twice removed or something) had bought his daughter a pony she couldn't cope with, so I, being very thoughtful, volounteered to ride her. Long story short is that I had a lovely summer riding her, they got fed up looking after her and gave her to me, talk about being thrown in at the deep end! Had her for over 10 years and had *so* much fun with her, my grandad then gave my mom £500 to buy herself one and she got Beckie, who we still have now and she's nearly 30. As for the kids, well it was pretty inevitable that with a mom and a dad who ride (I met Peter at the stables where I kept Poppy) and two nans who ride and keep horses that they were going to go the same way. I was spending over £25 a week paying for a couple of lessons and decided that for a little more I could keep one, so when Peter decided to sell his Land Rover as he didn't use it anymore I claimed the money for a pony *g*.
I'll have to do a seperate LJ post with a pic, because I still can't work some things out and I can't make a pic appear here! We bought Seb, he's 13.1, bright chestnut and very pretty. He's part Arab and is bred as a riding pony, so I think there must be some thoroughbred and welsh in him as well. He's 7, which is a lovely age, and is quite fine, I have ridden him, but I think I squash him a bit *g*. Like all ponies he can have his moments and discovered for a while that if he shoved his head down the kids lost the reins and he could just stand there, LOL. At one point we thought we might have to sell him as they just weren't getting on. After a change of yards and some tough talking from me, i.e. get a grip and stop being wimps, all is going really well. Two months ago Laura was crying at the thought of even walking him round a school, yesterday she was cantering around open fields jumping logs, so we're all really happy now. He's definitely part of the family :-). Has some lovely little habits, comes trotting up when you call him, when he's finished eating if you ask him he will pick his bucket up and give it to you and honestly, we love him to bits :-).
Ah, yes those were my boys in the icon, so very pretty and so very angsty, bliss!
I'm using my pony icon and you'll see that Ankh really had no reason to mock it at all, she just has no taste. Chloe used to collect them, but we gave up, they were like Barbie, absolutely relentless, just when you thought you had them another one came along!
