Omg Jasper is soooo cute! He should be Jazz's b/f :-P

And what's up with the horse? 

When I was little, I used to try to convince my mom that we could keep a horse in my suburban backyard :lol:

:lol:  I used to say the same thing to my parents.  We have a tiny garden with a shed in and I kept saying that we could cut the shed door in half so it was like a stable door and that I could ride the horse around the housing estate we lived on.

My cousin used to live on about 4 acres, completely surrounded by subdivision suburbia.  At all times growing up, she had at least 3 horses.  Usually we stayed on her property, but one Halloween night we rode on horseback all around the rich suburban neighborhoods, through their lawns, all over the place.  Most didn't have fences, and it was awesome. We tried to encourage the horses to poop on this guy's lawn that we didn't like, but they wouldn't  :lol:  I'm glad, because he would have known right away who was responsible if he woke up to a lawn full of road apples!

Jazz sends her regards to Jasper. How cute, both their names even start with J!

:lol:  I used to tell my mum that we could tie it to the rotating clothes line then it could walk in circles and eat the grass.  My dad wasn't too impressed when he discovered my plans for his shed door.

I think so too.  The horse would exercise whilst eating the grass.  Then my dad wouldn't have to cut the grass.  Everyone's happy.

I have a fish phobia.  It's so ridiculous.  I can't even walk through that department in the pet store.

Really?  I've never heard of someone having a fish phobia before.

[leapfreak]

I just reread my previous post and realised that it sounded a bit like I disbelieved the fish phobia thing.  I don't.  I'd never heard of it and thought it was interesting.

I looked it up.  Apparently it's called Ichthoyophobia

Yeah I am being 100 percent serious.  I freak out.  I can swim in the lake or ocean as long as I don't think about it, but the minute that little thought trickles into my head my ass is out of the water.  I prefer pools. It's seriously ridiculous but I can't help it.  I get totally skeeved out.

That's why it's a phobia.  I have a phobia about heights and lose the plot if I find myself somewhere up high.  When I was a child I used to always make my parents take us to castles when we were on holiday because I love history.  They stopped going after I tried to throw myself off of the top of one when I was about 8 or 9.

I get up high and all I can think about is getting down and I lose all rational thoughts.  The only thing going through my head is that I need to get down and it needs to be now.
