Publicly pulling loads and carriages, sure. Otherwise, many European (specifically Castilian) training methods & studbooks are as utilized and revered today as they were upon inception - it's just that none of this is typically of public interest. :)

After the coffee's brewed I pour the brewed coffee into the water receptacle and send it through again.. keeps me wired for a good 6 hours, although the first tends to be a little shaky. Spoon of brown sugar and a dash of ground cardamom or cinnamon is all I want; never really warmed to the...

Usually a random one every few months. I generally don't make much effort to make friends on forums.

About a year and a half ago, when I discovered my best friend in middle-high school had killed himself. Hadn't spoken to him in years, Googled his name, wasn't really expecting that kind of update.

I "entered" metal via mainstream 2000s hard rock bands - Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot etc - then met a friend who introduced me to the roots and I never turned back. Rather embarrassed to have listened to those now, because after broadening & developing an ear I realized just how terrible they...

First off, get over yourself and lose the self-pity; art is inherently personal - the amount of "verys" attached does not exacerbate this - and self-pity is extremely unattractive and juvenile. Not quite the impression you want to give when presenting artwork to an audience. The emotion is...

Normally I wouldn't bother replying after a couple months' absence but - Horses being a rarity in the present? You from Mars? Slaughter is pending reinstatement in the US due to decades of irresponsible breeders creating useless horses without buyers that can afford to keep them. You can...

I was thinking more literally for casual conversation, i.e. "horses r kewl" or some hopefully less retarded form of appreciation. I did like your answer, despite the cringe-worthiness.

Seriously, you are adorable.

I shower in the morning, so I'll just wash my face before tossing on new makeup again. Dress depends on the occasion; usually it's a metal show at a bar, so anything from a dress and fishnets to a band shirt and jeans will fly. My leather jacket goes with either. Makeup takes 45-60 minutes...

When I was 13-15 I was obsessed with System of a Down, Slipknot, Linkin Park, and others of that ilk. Listening to it now, the stuff is so musically one-dimensional, trivial, and utterly uninspiring - I'm embarrassed almost a decade later to have enjoyed it so much back then.

I see what you're saying, but picking apart my posts isn't promoting discussion related to the OP. While we're searching for straw needles, I should've indeed clarified that the majority of one's social interaction should come from face-to-face conversation - the reverse situation is what I'm...

Oh lord.

Of course, hence "..isn't such a large difference," meaning with Skype/similar you can at least decipher tone accurately and gain a rudimentary knowledge of how to better interact. Given the vast, vast diversity among people, I don't find it a substitute for real-life interaction, something I...

An interesting thing I've noticed is that one's strength of facial features is usually a pretty solid indicator of their strength of personality; i.e. someone with soft or subdued features is typically more reserved and nonconfrontational, while someone with a stronger face will be more...
