You know, those days when you can't draw anything. At all. So instead I've sorted out my folders (yay!). A bit anyway.

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Howrse - Stop the Destruction. Link here: www.change.org/petitions/howrs…

----------------
Stop with the endless promotions and rule changes

Howrse used to be a site where people of all ages could enjoy a nice, relaxing game of breeding and training horses with friendly competition to have the best. Now, Howrse is a game where real life money matters more than anything else. Players are being forced to either buy passes to keep up with the top players or to buy items from the Black Market to have a chance to win in the constant Promotions.
Players are getting irritated and tired of the endless promotions and many have quit. Now, I understand that Howrse has to have money to pay the site and all it's needs, but I, personally, think that the game was better before Ubisoft bought it. Before them, promotions were rare and there wasn't as many rules.
Now, we have to watch everything we do, say or talk about. We can't post ads like we used to, we can't bump up topics to get an answer we need, we can't make money by selling graphics anymore, and religious players can't post simple icons on their presentation to show their beliefs. I'm not religious, but I believe stopping other's from proudly showing they are is like asking a Christian to stop wearing a cross around their neck. Even though Howrse says, and I quote 'Small text free icons may be tolerated according to their nature and our judgement', which basically means they have to approve of whatever icon you post, and if they don't like, no matter how text free or simple it is, they can sanction you. Rules are changed and added to their convenience and some they don't even post so you *can* follow the rules.
Divines and Specials used to be rare, but now everyone seems to have them and horses that have rare GA coats seem to no longer be as valuable because new GA coats are coming out every months instead of two or three times a year. Objectives seem to have stopped since Ubisoft became involved, so older players no longer really have anything to challenge them.

If you agree to help stop the Destruction of Howrse, please sign this petition and help us reach our goal of saving it and bringing players back.

I'll explain.

We got Sherlock series 1 and 2 yesterday. I iz hyped (so much so that any grammar I once had has gone down the drain). Basically, a friend was over for a sleep over (for reasons I'll explain later. Wait, that sounds kinds bad, doesn't it? Like I'd need a reason to invite a friend round! *coughs awkwardly* Now, what was I saying...) My mum thought about getting the Hunger Games DVD, but then it turned out that it doesn't come out till September, so she then suggested Sherlock. So, technically this should be 'A Case in Pink...and quite a few other colours' but pink isn't in the Olympic colours (well, some could argue about that, but hey) and that gets me onto my next point.

We went to the Olympics today. Gods, I still can't believe it. We saw the equestrian showjumping 1st round qualifying (haha, complicated, right?) and it was amazing! I went with the friend I mentioned, just so you know. I can't describe how awsome it was. It all so made up for getting up and 6 (we so should have got to sleep earlier!) and how exhausted I feel now. The weather was typically British (aka. totally crazy and unpredictable, pouring one minute and boiling the next), but what more could you expect? I could go on and on and on about how awsome it was, but I think you get the idea.

Then, in the car on the way back my dad put a recording of Cabin Pressure on. The one with otters. *giggles* Good days. If you don't know what I'm going on about...it's complicated.

So yeah, today was a-ma-zing. I'm asleep on my feet as I write this. It was odd though, because the day seemed to feel really long but was seriously short at the same time. Anyway, I loved it ('case you never guessed!)
