Friesian (essay)

2009-11-27T10:12:09Z

The most beautiful, graceful, gentle horse in the world, and also the one you've probably seen a lot of. They're average to tall (14.2 to 17 hh), with a rounded nose characteristic of most Spanish breeds. They have small heads and a body that is dependent on their breeding, while mostly they are of a stocky build the more modern, sport-designed Friesians are lighter-boned.

You'll know a Friesian most instantly from their hair. To be classed pedigree standard, a Friesian must have no white markings, and must be perfectly black. Occasionally they will be chestnut, but this is frowned on and won't be accepted as a true Friesian. A Friesian will never have his hair cut, which includes his mane, forelock, tail and fetlocks. The hair on the fetlocks is called "feathers" in the business.

Friesians are gentle in nature, and although their blackness, hair and stocky body makes them seem large and imposing, they are actually very docile and willing horses. Despite this, they…

Emily. Emily. Emily. Delete. (person)

Things were strewn across a normally clean apartment; it seemed as though someone had broken in. It wasn't like that, though. A vase lay smashed in the hall, pieces scattered across the carpet. Magazines had been sent flying across the the lounge from a hand that had dashed them aside. The light of the computer was the only soft glow that illuminated the chaos.

The figure hunched at the desk shuddered, shoulders shaking and hands pushed into thick hair, holding a head that was too full of emotion. A smiling blond girl wearing a black dress and a thick beaded necklace stared out of the screen, her arm around another. Emily. Pretty laughing happy graceful Emily. Emily who would always come running in times of trouble, Emily who could be depended on, Emily.

Emily who shared all those dark thoughts, Emily…

Smile Like You Mean It (essay)

This song is by The Killers, it was released on May 2, 2005, was featured on their first album, Hot Fuss, and since then it became their third single in the US and fourth single in the UK. It also reached number 11 on the UK single chart, and number 15 in the Billboard US Modern Rock Chart. In Australia, it reached number 39 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.

The meaning of the song can be easily construed to fit whatever current situation you are in:

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

The first two lines could be telling you to think seriously about the way you act, think about your reputation and how people see you, and decide if that is what you really want, and the second two lines could be taken as a completely separate statement, that you'll…

Mystery Google (thing)

2009-11-24T23:48:03Z

Mystery Google was created by Google as a form of entertainment, it seems. Basically, you type something in, but when you click "Google search" the result is what the person before you typed in. You can treat Mystery Google as a sort of fortune teller, or guide to life by asking it "what should I do?" and trying to get an answer that applies. It can give you a little fun if someone put in a joke before you, or it can lead you to new websites, music, and the like.

Some people will also put in their email address or phone number with a request for a story, a joke, sometime random, something about ninjas. These results are occasionally posted onto the website My Life Is Average, for example:

Today, I put in my number on Mystery Google, telling them to sing me their favorite Disney Song. Not about ten minutes later, I got a call, from a girl singing Hakuna Matata, then hanging up afterwards.

People wouldn't fall in love so often if it were more clearly marked (poetry)

2009-11-24T14:07:22Z

Where is the line between love and in love
Where does it start
And where does it end?
When do I add that tiny word in
When can I change from I love
To I am in love
With you?

Hypothetical, please
Don't tear up on me
I'm just asking
When do I know
To change the words
What is the difference
Between what we have now
And what they sing to the clouds?

And how can I pinpoint
The very exact moment
That I slip from love
Into love
With you?
And more importantly
Do I want to?
