Thirty Days Meme
Day 01 - Introduce yourself
It's 10.12pm on sunday night and i am bone tired. I'm slightly sunburnt & have a pulsing headache from too many carbs & wayyy too much sunlight. I've been fielding a head cold all weak & now the clogged-like-a-brick-wall nose is gone i have a kickass coldsore starting. dirty mofo.
My name is Juanita, i'm 31, from western australia.
i live in the capital city, Perth, which is fucking hot in summer & sometimes a bit wet and cold in winter. we are always concerned about the lack of rain here. i am slightly worried because the lack this year does not bode well for my hay supply next year.
i grew up about 3 hours south of here in a gorgeous part of the state - amazing beaches and surf to the west and wineries, caves, forests to the east and south. just delightful. i was a leader in my high school. raised by a single father who was 55 when i was born, so a LOT of people 'looked out' for me & i spent a lot of my childhood with various surfie hippies who 'settled' the area & are now millionaires due to the hyper inflated land prices down there. as a result i started smoking weed when i was 13 and had a really enjoyable childhood getting stoned & riding ponies.
my dad is a farmer & himself grew up with horses as work animals. he indulged me & bought my first pony when i was 3. i ran through a succession of ponies and horses until i was 12 & made a commitment to Belle, my arab x mare who could jump the moon & taught me about boldness. Blitzen was born to a tb mare we had when i was 11 & i spent a lot of time waiting for him to grow up. i educated him myself & it was all forward from the time i was 16.
i spent a bit of time overseas as a child - in the philippines until i was 2, then back again when i was 13 and 17 (when i travelled alone, slept on the floor in Changi Airport, spent christmas day in transit). when i was 15 i went to scotland & then the united states where i spent 5 months in Kansas, where i also went to school at the WORLD"S SMALLEST HIGH SCHOOL. there were like 64 kids. i lived with a large, generous, loving family & who taught me that it's okay to show emotions & to hug & say you love someone. i LOVED america & would love so much to go back.
i didn't spend very much time with my mother until i was in my early 20's & she moved back to australia for various reasons. i was hateful & angry and bitter most of the time.
i don't have a very good relationship with my father because in the past he's been a tyrant.
i've been with jed for nearly 11 years. we met at a poetry reading where i was performing. i used to be depressed & creative and write a lot so at the time i was moody and miserable. we've been together through the povo years of tiny flats & 2 minute noodles and now in the more wealthy years where i can indulge my pony needs & he can play puters.
I'm a teacher in high school and i'm crazy about it. i LOVE my job. i LOVE my school. i love what i do. besides teaching, i also run workshops and go into classrooms to consult teachers on both behaviour management and cooperative learning. i am passionate about education, adolescents and retaining graduate teachers. my principal & administration love me & next year i'm going to start the Level 3 Classroom Teacher process, which is a big fucking deal and kinda scary & i don't know if i have the organisation to be successful at it... but we'll see.
the only downside to my job is that my school is an hour from my house. and my horse in turn is 30 mins in the opposite direction. i drive a LOT of miles in my car, regularly doing 1000km+ per week. which to some is not a lot, but to me that's 10 hours a week of just SITTING. 10 hours in which i could be doing SOMETHING else.
you guys know i'm also crazy about horses. especially my redhead. who'da thought i'd be so in love with a horse? obviously i love blitzen, but that came so naturally, so easily. beejay was very hard to love at the start & i really did not like him a lot. but i'm just so proud of how far i've come with him & how every day he amazes me with his talents.
anyway. it's 10.33 now. It must be the season of the witch.
