Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

1st October 2006, I know it's been a while again but I haven't much seen the point in writing in here. Things haven't changed much other than my medication and they let me move out of the ICU so the fam have started to relax a little - mum and dad haven been back much so I guess they don't feel so guilty now I'm not on deaths door. Damn it must such to be obligated to see your kid in hospital. I tell you, when I have kids - in the far future when I have that top supermodel wife and a million pounds and all that - I won't be like dad. If my kid was in here I wouldn't want to leave. I don't understand how they can not care so much. Guess it would hurt if I wasn't already so used to it. This wasn't even what I wanted to talk about, i guess I just needed to rant a little.
It's been one hell of a few weeks. I'm allowed up now with crutches, kind of difficult to manage at first but I'm getting there. Better than being stuck in bed all the time - any further than the bathroom though and they make me use a chair. Makes great fun for races with a couple of kids a few doors down whenever the nurses have their backs turned! Typical Leo was my sisters first response when I got caught by nurse Helen, and they made me swear not to do it again but hell am I giving up the only fun I can have! Lily and Logan keep bringing school work in seeing as its GCSE year but I'm slacking badly. I can't concentrate right now - not that I've ever been able to when it came to school aside from sports. Still I know it has to be done at some point .. Least I have the sympathy vote when I get back to school and haven't done it. I know I should care but I don't, I don't want some city job I just want to ride. Who needs academics for that?
Apparently they might let me out soon with the promise I come back to do physio regularly. I just want to be back to normal really, being here all castes up sucks like hell but there's nothing more I can do. The siblings have been here a lot, lily tried talking to me about kalona but I don't want to hear it right now. I'm glad he's okay I really am, but more than that? He scares me... And the fact that nothing scares me aside from him is even more scary. Stupid probably but right now I just can't deal with that. Anyway, logan and lil and James have turned up with a pack of cards and a crap ton of chocolate so I guess it's time to stop writing and get winning!
11th October 2006, FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM! I have finally been allowed to return to the land of the living - well..the living life anyway. Nobody in that hospital does anything fun, the nurses' I swear were just fun police. In the end they banned me from using wheelchairs...they BANNED me! How ridiculous is that?! Yes I know it was wrong to start up the whole hospital wheelchair race competition but come on? With so many people stuck to two wheels and going bored out of their minds what was I supposed to do? I gave some of the cancer kids a good laugh so to me it was a winner idea, no matter what nurse's toe I ran over...and honestly it wasn't my fault I crashed into a vending machine! Who puts a vending machine on a tight corner anyway?
So in the end it gave me a ton of practise with the crutches and such so they said I could leave this morning and like the eager annoying guy I am I begged until dad came to pick me up. Have to say I have never had a more uncomfortable ride in my entire life - who knew that corners and bumps in the road could be so painful. I made it home regardless of dad's less than awesome driving but it was a let down of a party to be honest. Only mum was home 'cause the others were stuck in school and all...so I just got a half hearted hug attempt from mum which I'm surprised didn't re-break half my bones...and then told to keep out the way. Oh yay how I love being home. Some part of me is even missing the hospital already, now that is depressing.
Okay so I might be home and free and all but essentially I am still bored out of my head! All I've done today is ace some xbox games, eat a ton of junk food so that even when I'm allowed out I'll probably have to be rolled...and perfected a real life version of paper toss. Not even joking.. I've had to start going for trick shots to make it more interesting...might employ the use of a fan tomorrow to make it really difficult but a lot of me thinks that's just sad. I don't know what I'm expected to do up here. Apparently I have to wait until next Monday to start school again, so I get tomorrow and friday to myself in my room, the weekend and only then can I see the light of day again. Yay. So maybe I don't really have freedom yet....and I'm questioning why I thought home was so exciting.
Maybe I should take up a new indoor hobby to occupy myself with? Or..I could ask James or Logan to go and buy me a new video game I can obsess over for the time. I'd ask Lily but knowing her she'd come back with some lame ...shopping game or something..or nothing at all and make me do my work. Even boredom will not make me touch that pile of paper now sitting on my desk. I might try and bribe Lily into doing it or something, most likely a lost cause but hey I could up-play the whole cripple thing. Use the sympathy vote? I don't know, I'll see how it goes I guess. Well this was a failure of a journal post but hey to sum up - I'm home again, on the mend, bored out of my mind and open to suggestions on how to make paper toss more challenging!
13th October 2006, Ever had one of those really awkward moments when you completely forget about someone? Well I happened to have one of those today and I think I'm lucky to get away with my life! In fact Lily says I got off lightly and for once I completely agree with her. Basically, it was Friday afternoon. I was kind of down because Friday's were always my favourite night to go out, and quite clearly I couldn't due to the whole covered in plaster (and also doodles now thanks to unleashing the siblings and mates on the casts with felt tipped pens). It wasn't so bad when I was in hospital because in all honesty I tended to get drained by late evening and just want to go to sleep anyway, but now I'm back home and on less meds (which is both good and I have to admit a little saddening considering the relief of some of the stuff I was getting..not that I'm a druggie!) I'm restless a lot of the time.
Anyway, apparently there was some party on that night but despite my insistent 'go out and get wasted you losers' my siblings and James were refusing. So I decided to entertain them my own way and with a little struggling, made a massively tricky paper toss game up in the lounge whilst the parents were wherever they were today. It involved a fan we found under Logan's bed, a mini hand made hoop James had fashioned and the length of over three metres. We were all backed against the furthest wall with our arms of paper balls taking turns... before the game had diffused so that Lily could do our work - and some of mine apparently.. no idea how the hell I managed that but... yay!
Anyway, I decided to practise a few shots on them instead and proceeded to irritate the crap out of James by the time the 10th one hit him square on the nose..which I am proud of yes. He was about to return with a pencil which I think is so uncalled for when the doorbell rang. We never tend to get visitors unless it's Luke and he never knocks he just comes straight in regardless. So Lily gets up, goes to answer the door and suddenly I hear this overly-girlie voice that just makes me go...oh shit. Natalie ...Daisy? ...Zoey? God I was not going to lie, I could in no way remember her name other than I thought my best chance was it started with a ...E? Ellie? I didn't want to take the chances. Lily started talking over-loud clearly trying to warn me ...sad to say not the first time she's done that, so all I hear her saying is 'sorry Natasha he's not in at the moment'...
Such a blatant lie, especially as she walks back up the driveway, glances suspiciously into the lounge and sees me just drop like a dead fish to the floor. I would never suggest it to a cripple ever. If flipping hurts like a mother to drop like that... I'm surprised nothing dislocated and I got all tangled in my crutches and horribly lost my dignity. Lily ran in cause she thought I'd fallen or something...and then with James laughing his ass off she'd thought he'd pushed me or something... then Logan explained it and all of them were laughing their asses off. James almost tried to take a picture before I chucked a crutch toward his head instead and knocked his phone out his hand. Getting up...was painful and I had to sit for the rest of the evening pretty carefully. Still, least it reminded me that I still hadn't broken up with Natasha..though I think when I go she might be tempted to slap me.. but she wouldn't hurt a cripple would she? No vengeful ex would hurt a cripple... right..?!
