I'm REALLYREALLYREALLY Glad I'm Not a Striking Bag...

Eliot is scary when he's mad. Like yesterday. The striking bag--which our PE teacher nearly has to tackle to move at all--was sliding across the floor quickly under his blows.
"Eliot, that's scary. Are you okay?" I said nervously. He had been looking...not-happy all day. He told me he was mad. NO. WAY. xD
He was looking really sad all throughout English. I didn't say anything.
Do you ever see someone looking really sad, and wishing that you could substitute your sadness for theirs, just so they wouldn't look like that? Does someone else's sadness ever just make you sad, even when you don't know why they're sad? It like that for me. I think it always has been. I don't know why. When ever I see someone I know looking really sad, I get sad. It's sad.
I made cookies last night. And I succeeded! =D
Mostly because Alex totally saved my butt yesterday, when my lunch consisted of a horse cookie (Holly said they were good! The first bite was horrible, but after that, it tasted like hard tack and alfalfa. Pretty good when you're hungry. Cassie asked what I was eating, and I grumbled, "Technically, it's a horse cookie." Haha. But right now, it's a Faye-cookie! ;D). Alex gave me a bag of carrots, and another of Cheeze-Its, as well as a water bottle to wash it down. So nice!
I brought 14 of 22 Ginger Crinkles to school, and most of them are gone. People loved them! ^^ Especially Alex! Yay! I'm bringing her the recipe. ^^
I gave Eliot one, and he said it was good. The first bite was really hesitant. xP
He looked...more sad than mad today. I'm not bugging him about what's wrong. I doubt there's anything I could do. Hope everything's okay with him and Sophia!
Oh, on Sunday, Kate was being grumpy, as usual. I love her so much, though!
The girl riding Phantom was getting him to close to her, and she was putting her ears back and grinding her teeth at him. Shelley said that she was telling him to "drop dead." I was laughing so hard. I don't even know why. xDDD It was really funny at the time.
Let me describe Bella for you.
She's a rather tall bay, with no white markings on her. Her mane is cut pretty short, but not zebra-short, or anything. On the left side of her neck, she has this cool little swirl of hair. Some of her hair under where the girth goes is a bit roughed up. She has soft, trusting eyes, but definitely spirit.
She's amazing to ride, and, since she's still young, everything I do on her helps teach her. That means I have to be even more mindful to watch my manners, keep her walking briskly, not letting her break into a canter while we're trotting, stop when asked, etc. I love it. This means I'm learning as well.
Well, I'm really tired. Any help on the whole Toby thing would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Good night!

Love,
Faye

Bella sounds so cool!
I'm still holding out for a summer job, even though the photo place would be great until then. Mom says she doesn't want to drive me that far, so I could bug them to let me get a liscense too. ^^
I was watching a horse at this volunteer thing, it was a shetlend and something else big, it was so cute. He was a stocky dark dark brown with really thick hair and huge eyes, even for a horse.

Aww! Sounds so cute! ^^
Maybe I'll get a picture of Bella one of these days! ;)
Hope you get the job! :*
