I went horseback riding through that area the Sunday after Vegas last May. It was gorgeous.

yes. I wish I could remember the name of it cause I wouldn't recommend it at all. The scenery was amazing, but the overall experience with the tour and the guides was scary. I didn't think I'd make it out alive.

Not to laugh, but what happened? did you get the wild stallion or something?

I wish. Well, for starters on the way there a tire blew and the air quit in the van we were in. Then we get to the "ranch" (after 2 hrs of riding) and find out we'd all be paired up with horses depending on our size and they did this in front of everyone so there were some fairly embarassed people. Then we get to the ride and it's all up and down and rocks and sand - not good for some first timers. Then, we get back to camp and two of the redneck guides (very sexist and racist) start arguing, we don't get the Native American campfire stories we were all expecting and the dinner was horrible. After dinner one of the guides stormed off and left only one vehicle to transport everyone back to Vegas so we were all smushed in and I swear I kept thinking I was going to be raped (and not in a pleasant way) and dumped beneath some briars outside Vegas - end up an episode of CSI. It was way expensive and totally a scam.

WOw man, I feel for ya there. WHen I went, I just stayed in town on the strip pretty much and got a ton of excercise walking thru all the casinos. Venetian, Bellagio, and the new Wynn Las Vegas were my favs.

The pic is from sometime last year but I really don't look any different now (except I'm dressed in scrubs because I just got home from work).

I am 24 years old (soon to be 25) and live in Vacaville, California (up north, sort of near Sacramento) with my parents and menagerie of pets. I've lived here all of my life. I am currently not enrolled in any college courses, though I plan to take some more classes next semester. I haven't decided which direction I want to take. My strongest subject of study is English and I love to write but I don't know that I could really make a living at it.

I am, however, still trying to finish my long-in-the-making novel, tentatively titled "Erratic Circles," but have been stricken with a nasty case of writer's block, for which I'm hoping a couple of fellow Ledgies (you know who you are) will provide a cure.

As for my current occupation, I work 40+ hours a week as a receptionist/veterinary assistant at a local small animal practice. Although I find this field of work interesting, particularly because of the variety of species the hospital treats (cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, rodents, rabbits, ferrets), I don't think it's something I want to pursue as a career.

In regards to my (now waning) interest in Fleetwood Mac, it is rooted in my nearly life-long love of the music of Tom Petty. Back when I was about 10 or so (circa 1991), I saw the video for "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and loved it, but of course had no money of my own to buy Bella Donna. It wasn't until a few years later that I finally got the album and shortly after that The Dance was released. As many of you may already know, I have nearly lost all interest in the music of Stevie Nicks and am currently only really a fan of Lindsey Buckingham and Billy Burnette. However, I will always have to credit Fleetwood Mac for introducing me to the music of associates like Walter Egan, Warren Zevon, and John Stewart.

^ I thought your novel was done. Like completely done. Are you rewriting some things?

It was done. But I refused to agree to the terms of the contract for the publisher that I initially submitted my manuscript to, so I've located another publisher that seems promising. However, before I can submit the book to them, I have to increase my word count by at least 10,000.

So now I'm stuck on what to add to get to that point.

I see. Well that sucks, but good for you for standing your ground. Good luck!
