The Story of Cronos and the Blood Letter's
One night, Cronos, the keeper of time was riding his chariot of clouds across the sky when he viewed a beautiful ghoul maiden, slicing her feet upon the rocks. As Cronos was the keeper of time, he had seen the rise and fall of empires, wars that raged for centuries, and battles fields thick with gore and blood. Naturally, Cronos did not enjoy the sight of blood and his heart ached in watching the senseless act of this beautiful ghoul spilling her precious blood. So Cronos did something and I trust that you will keep it a secret. Cronos sped up time for the ghouls and like all communities and tribes before, the ghouls disbanded and forgot their history and their rituals. When you go to HoundEars today be careful because although the ghouls have moved on the rocks have not forgotten their purpose.

Clean Slate?
- Work on communication
- Read a relationship advice book together
- Take time apart to figure out what they need or want
- Goes on frequent trips with friends when they know you cannot go aka on purpose
- Asks if it is appropriate to start with a clean slate.
- Oh fucking hell, you know when its going to get bad
Apparently, I'm the only one that had fun climbing this weekend. Thank you Red River Gorge!

The Finer Details
Although the finer details of my relationship have not fully come to pass, I cannot help but to delight in the very likely possibility that it will be over very very soon. (But don't get me wrong, I cried all day Saturday in my room and only came out due to a wonderful vodka cocktail my roommate cultivated for me.) Here are the good things:
- Soon I won't have to lug my lazy ass up/around/down to some V10 bullshit boulder, where there are no good climbs, to spot him.
- I will also be able to unabashedly look at the climbing hotties without getting the evil eye. At least not from my boyfriend but possibly a near by girlfriend. Whatever.
- Pretty soon all the snacks will be MINE!!!!
- I won't have to pray that someone does not come up to my boyfriend in the boulder field, bragging about some "wicked hard problem" so that #1 occurs.
- And I might actually meet someone that does not treat me with total indifference.

Betrayal
Due to one of my jobs I have developed a fascination with horses but with this fascination I have also developed the habit of reading too much about horses. Every time I see a magazine or a book with the picture of a horse on it, I cannot help but to pick it up and read its pages. I read an article about an organization that helps retired racing horses by retraining them or finding them a new home to live out the rest of their lives. Most retired racing horses end up in slaughter houses in Mexico or Canada, even the famous ones, if they become injured from poor training or cannot breed/stud due to other complications. Here is the worst part...reading this article has made bawl my eyes out for the past hour. I guess it really bothers me when after working with horses for this past year and you see how hard they work and how high the expectations are for them, it just seems like a horrible betrayal for someone that is entrusted with their care to just turn around and neglect them. Those horses are so trusting too. I don't know any dogs that would allow a 100lbs+ human ride them around at 35 to 60mph and blindly take jumps or sharp turns. It's not right, those horsies deserve better.

The Trip
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Yes Yes Yes Yes
- Ha! I was eating a little pre-packaged snack bag of carrots with a little thing of ranch dressing. When I was done, my pretty plump cat decided that she wanted to eat too so she stuck her head in the empty snack bag and suddenly the bag was attached to her face. She walked backwards toward the edge of the bed, shaking her head around, trying to get the bag off. I laughed so hard and desperately wanted to take a picture but I decided to save my poor cat from falling off the bed instead. Hilarious.
- I went to work yesterday. I left work with my boss riding her very handsome horse Santana. Not more than 45 minutes later, my boss calls me and says that a yearling, Foxy, has decided that he wanted to breed so he attempted to climb over the gate. The gate broke and caused such a stir that the other ponies broke through the other gate. Thus causing not just two but four paddocks to be thrown into an uproar. None the less Foxy managed to breed Daydream three times before my boss was able to remove him from her backside. This was very entertaining.
- Decided not to climb the Nose on Sunday. I admit that I was not feeling up to my feet being cooked in climbing shoes for several hours. Nor subjecting my boyfriend to the terror of climbing slab; fear does not promote a healthy sex life. So we went canoeing on the French Broad. We were both so excited about catching fish but apparently we were fishing the section of the Broad that does NOT have any fish. I knew as soon as the river started to smell like cow. So while my boyfriend paddled I sat in front with my umbrella, casting into all the slow moving eddies that floated by. (Ok, I paddled too, I'm not a total bitch.) Around the last bit of 6 o'clock, my boyfriend and I began to entertain the idea that we might have parked the second car along the wrong river and we would have to go all the way to Asheville to get a ride back. With each bend we became anxious to see the bridge we had parked at. Needless to say these thoughts were just plain silly but that is what happens when fishing trips don't involve any fish.
