I do. I really do.

I wouldn't want to live here permanently, but I wouldn't mind living here for around six months to a year. Maybe after college, doing odd jobs. I would love to work in one of the theatres. Actually, that would be a dream job, working at one of the theatres. I wouldn't care if I was cleaning up after the shows. Just to work there. It would be awesome.

Sucks, though, being here with a broken ankle. I'm on crutches. I can't just walk around and roam the streets. I get tired. I have to go at an annoyingly pissy slow pace. I can't walk up steps easily, and I'm always running into people. It sucks. Why couldn't I have broken my ankle after the trip? Or, even better, sometime over the summer, early summer. That would have been perfect. Cause I'm also missing the best riding weather, and will end up missing all of the good riding weather through January, probably. This sucks. I'm not enjoying my first break anymore. The excitement has worn off. It needs to heal, damn it!

On a lighter note, we saw our first Broadway show tonight. The 39 Steps. It was bloody hilarious, I nearly peed myself a few times (I'm sure you wanted to know that.) Seriously, if you're in New York sometime, see it. But be quick. I think it's closing sometime next year. I'll be sad when it does.

Seeing Next to Normal tomorrow. Hopefully my parents don't hate it too much. I don't want them to ruin it for me. Because even if I don't like the initial story, the music is so damn awesome and I won't care.

New York is so much fun. Have I mentioned the cab rides? I love them! Those drivers have no fear, none at all. Nerves of bloody titanium. I wish I was as good a driver as a NY cabbie. Funnest moment so far was the cab ride from the airport into Manhattan. It's even better than a rollercoaster, cause on a coaster you don't have the risk of getting plowed over by another car. You've gotta be very aggressive, to drive in New York. And did you know there's a $350 fine for honking your horn in the city?

Seriously, if you ever get the chance, you need to visit. It's now one of my favourite places to come to, simply because it's so much fun to just hang out. Though, don't come with a broken ankle/foot/leg. Crutches suck in New York.


edit Saw Next to Normal. It was AWESOME! 'Cept we sat in the second row, and, while we were very close, we also had to crane our necks to see the second and third stories of the set. It was also hard to keep track of everyone when there were multiple scenes at one time. And my mom felt faint during the end of the first half. She had to leave and go lay down, missing the second half. And my dad didn't really like it, story-wise. But Alice Ripley was amazing - I can definitely see why she won best actress - and the music was wonderful and Aaron Tveit was hot as ever. So, all in all, it was awesome xD

Is it odd that I'm slightly excited about it?

Though, it's not really what you would expect to be a broken bone, but, technically, it is.

I was riding Mya today - a sweet yet sometimes crazy gaited cross - and she was actually being very good. Came back when I asked her and everything. We were doing a course and had just crossed the ring in a diagonal over the coupe, and were going around the short end of the ring to the next line, when her feet just slipped out from under her and she fell on me. Twisted my ankle in extremely unnatural and painful ways. She was alright, though. Just a bit shaken. But she got up quiet enough and just stood there while I was rolling around in the mud trying not to cuss out the world.
Went to the hospital and spent the next three and a half hours there. I've torn and strained a buttload of ligaments in my right foot and ankle, and I also broke off the tip of my fibula - a bit that's attached to a tendon that's connected into the ankle.
Not really a majour ass break, but a break nonetheless! Though, I really hope I don't ever break anything else, cause it hurt like a son of a bitch. Honestly, I may have low tolerance for pain, but it was just flat-out bloody Hell.

So yeah, my first break, and I pray to God my last.

I get crutches tomorrow, which is going to be an adventure. I've borrowed other people's crutches and have never gotten the hang of it. I'm not very balanced. But I guess, this time round, I'll be motivated enough to at least be able to manage

Only sucky thing is that we were going to a show this weekend. Obviously, that plan's shot through the roof. And Charlie's going to be a mess, now. He's only been ridden once in the last three weeks, and now I don't know when I'll be able to ride again. And now I'm going to miss even more school.

Sod it.

So, I'm redecorating by bedroom and it's going swimmingly. I'm actually quite happy with it.
And my room is clean
'Cept I still have books piled in the corners, but that'll all sort itself out when I get my bookcase, which my dad, bless him, is working on.
However, I do want some input on one problem - my only problem, really - in finishing it up: curtains. Right now I have some dark blue, denim curtains, but I'm not sure if I really like them with the rest of the room: [link]

What do you think? Any suggestions?
