swillowness

Call me swillowness, swillow, swillowkins, willow, or whatever suits you. :)

My original name was s.ilent w.illow (anyone play Horseland? yeah, that's me), but my nickname was swillow/swillowness, and I just stuck with that. Anywaysssss..........

I can be an extremely random person, even to the point of awkwardness, but that's generally reserved for only my most sugar-fueled hyper moments.

If you're interested, my political standpoint is libertarian-ish, but I'm completely open minded as long as you don't shove your opinions down my throat.

For the most part, I'm a patient and understanding person, but like most teenaged girls I tend to experience moodswings. o__O You can greatly reduce your chances of dismemberment if you don't do any of the following:
1. be a blatant hypocrite
2. be obnoxious and demanding
3. rudely/inappropriately critique my work
4. be rude/mean to my friends
5. shove your opinions down my throat (see previous section)

I've ridden Hunter/Jumper (English) since July of 2004. Thus far, I've only jumped a staggering 2'6" regularly with one 3' jump in there, but it's all good because it's still SOOOOOOO much fun.

If I'm not riding, playing with my dogs, doing homework, or procrastinating on doing my homework, I probably either have my camera or computer glued to my face, but I'm probably not the only one out there who does that. ;)

I have loved nature and animals for all of my life. I have two dogs at the moment. Big Dog and Lovie, both of which are often subjected to random photoshoots. Big Dog is a sexy blend of (we think) German Shepherd, Pitbull, and/or Labrador...not to mention any other random things. He's definitely part German Shepherd because of the saddle marks, and probably Pitbull/Lab due to his body structure, personality, and eyes. Lovie is...uh...yeah. Definitely some hound. XD She's tan and white (kind of like a chestnut overo horse). Despite the fact that they can both be infinitely obnoxious, I love them all the same. Admittedly, Big Dog is my favorite. He's just so cuddly and goofy. Not to mention he's a whopping 80 pounds and still thinks he can sit in my lap.

I simply love animals, dogs especially (if you couldn't guess). Oh, and do the world a favor: PLEASE go adopt dogs and cats from local shelters and Humane Societies! They can be great pets. Yes, they have issues, but NO that does not mean they can't be AMAZING. I love my rescues, issues and all, with every bone in my body.
