About Gimme A Dream - The Horse

Gimme A Dream was born in 1999 and was most likely bred for the hunter class in jumping and dressage. As a young colt he displayed symptoms of a poor configuration. It was believed that he would out grow his affliction and trained for jumping and dressage under English equipment. At three it was becoming apparent that he would have his poor conformation for life and was sold for the amount of $6000 CDN. Quickly it became apparent that he was not acceptable for his new owner and after realizing that she wouldn't be able to retrieve her investment, she traded him for a full-bred Morgan mare. This trade was done without mention of his difficulties. After three years, and a name change, Dream was bought and brought to the islands. He is 17hh, which makes him a very big boy, indeed. Here, he will stay, doing whatever he is capable of doing and that which is within his own interests.

Here are your interview questions.

1.Who has been the most influential person in your life?
- My mum was the most influential person in my life because she taught my sister and I, to have wings and roots.

2.If you could be one actor or actress who is it that you choose to be and why?
- I have never imagined myself to be in another's shoes. I admire the most..., actors who can play the part of any number of roles. Johnny Depp comes to mind at this moment because he will never be typecast. I believe that Jessica Alba is also moving in that direction and I will grow to admire her talent. Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Alex Guinness are two of the greats that I admire, who would never be at loss for words and I would like to have similar talent.

3. Your most crazy and humorous moment please include details?
- Halloween day I got the idea of creating and putting up new roadsigns. One of the signs said that Old Harry Head road was a one-way street with no exit and stopped traffic until the police removed the sign a short time later.

4. If you could run for a prestigious job position what would it be and why?
- What is a prestigious job? A stay at home mum, because there is nothing more memorable, more precious than the memories a child has of his/her mother.

5. If you could change just one thing for our youth what would it be?
- If I could change one thing, I would have my parents be more protective of my older sister. Why you ask, because if she hadn't made mistakes then I would have been allowed to do some of the things she was allowed to do.

For Sophia About My Education

1. Who was your best friend? Claudette, but I lost touch with her a few years ago.

2. Did you play any sports? This and that, mostly individual things.

3. What kind of car did you drive? A Yamaha motorcycle 150cc.

4. It’s Friday night. Where were you? Home in bed, reading.

5. Were you a party animal? Not a bit!

6. Were you considered a flirt? Not once!

7. Were you in the band, orchestra or choir? Played clarinet in the school orchestra. Wasn't that good though.

8. Were you a nerd? I was shy, but not smart enough to be a nerd.

9. Were you ever suspended or expelled? No - I was too shy to cause trouble. Not even the teachers noticed whether I was there or not.

10. Can you sing the fight song? I don't even know what the fight song is.

11. Favorite teacher? I never had a favorite I don't think since I can remember a few but nothing specific. Dr. Jones in college was a definite favorite though.

12. What was your school mascot? In eleven years of schooling I can count 15 schools. Which mascot do you want?

13. Did you go to the Prom? No, never bothered. I was probably out of the country by the time I graduated anyway. I didn't miss anything.

14. If you could go back, would you? Not a chance! I was way too shy and had no real friends because we moved every time I'd start to settle in.

15. What do you remember most about graduation? Absolutely nothing because I wasn't there. My graduation certificate caught up with me a couple of months later.

16. Where were you on Senior Skip Day? What is Senior Skip Day? I guess that answers this question.

17. Did you have a job your senior year? Sold roses on the street and outside bars.

18. Where did you go most often for lunch? I can't remember!

19. Have you gained weight since then? That's for sure! I had a ballerina type figure.

20. What year did you graduate? Which graduation do you want. 1973, 1983 or 1986.

21. Who was your Senior Prom Date? Didn't go to the prom and probably wouldn't have had a date if I did. I was way too shy...

22. Are you going/did you go to your 10 year reunion? That happened long ago and no I didn't go, since I can't even remember any names at all.

If you haven't done this one yet, play along! Leave me a comment if you play along so I can read yours!

"The Thread With No Name"
(By Neil*Dale Gorder*Young) :)

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were stories and people and poems and things
There was forums and threads and ding-a-lings
The first thing I met was a guy with a buzz
And my eye began too cloud
The puter was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of typing

Ive been through the desert on a thread with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
On Helium you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days on a Helium run
My skin began to turn red
After three days of Helium fun
I was looking at a goin to bed
And the story I told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it rated dead

You see Ive been through Helium on a thread with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
On Helium you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let my belly flop free
cause I really really had to pee
There were stories and poems and songs and things
There were people who chated with me
Helium is a space with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans type up above

You see Ive been through Helium on a thread with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
On Helium you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la...la..lala..lala.la...la.la..la...la..la

Michael Raymond - A Tribute To...

"I am, I said" - by Neil *Michael Raymond* Diamond (Or, anything you can do, I can do half-assed)

Helium's fine, people there most the time,
and the feeling is laid back.
Writings flow and wit and more
the forums and the people there
keep me coming back.

Well, I lost a thread, lost it again
But nowadays I found a new home.
Helium's fine, Reason's Edge is gone
Living now on the Thread With No Name.

I am, I said
On a no name thread
And no one heard at all
I hope they can read.
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am on this thread - yes it has no name
Leaving me wand'ring still...

I am, I said,
I am, I cried....
