So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean...

Ohai.

Well, last night I talked to Derrick for a very long time... and we figured some stuff out. Now, I think we're gonna be happier than we have been with each other in a long time. He's going to try to stop being so in-my-face and worrisome, and I'm going to try and stop being so moody and bipolar about everything. Things will get better, I'm confident of it. IloveyouDerrick.<3

In OTHER news, life here is very average as of late. Thomas and Derrick are hopefully going to be here this weekend to visit, but other than that I have no plans for the next week. But I guess I could tell you about school today.

Some chick who's in a co-op class at my high school came to do a survey in our class on behalf of T&T, the local newspaper. It was a fashion related survey, and it was kinda fun to do. Me, my friend Brooke, and this Connor kid all did it today during BB Tech. It's gonna appear in the Whatever (teenage) section of the newspaper this Saturday, so that's kinda cool. It also prompted me to, after chicky from the paper left, rant to anyone who'd listen about how you should never EVER work for T&T delivering newspapers. Why? Cause it sucks, that's why. I'm gonna stop now, or I'll just go on and on forever about those damned newspapers...

Yours truly,

Dear blog: Elections suck.

Yeah. The elections were today.

I presented my speech, and so did the other three candidates. I did okay. Noah did well. Connor did amazingly. And Andrew made himself look like an ass hole. But guess who won? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't me. It wasn't Noah. And, it wasn't Connor either. Yay! Ass hole for grade rep! He's pompous and full of himself... and practically ran as a joke and a publicity stunt. He's going to make a horrible grade rep. And guess what, ninth grade? You have no one to blame but yourselves.

Short entry, I know. But I don't feel great and I'm kinda pissed off. Sorry guys.

Vote fer Lexi!

Hey there.

Guess what? Well, you can't really guess I suppose, so I'll just tell you. The meeting for the candidates interested in becoming a grade representative was held today! I went, because I wanna run for my grade nine rep. The meeting was kind of long, but I got through it. I learned that being a rep would be a lot more work than I previously thought. I'm still going to run though, so I'd better work on my speech.

I was GOING to explain all the work behind running for student government, but I'd rather talk about a current project of mine. I'm trying to learn Clint Massel's Requiem for a Dream on piano, and it's proving very difficult. I want to learn mainly because I love the piece, but also because my boyfriend loves it too. I want to play it for him next time he visits as a surprise... he doesn't know yet that I'm learning it. It really is a beautiful piece, and there are several versions of it... one that was used for a trailer of The Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers. It is truly epic.

Yours truly,

I'm not dead! (sorry, everyone.)

Sorry to anyone who reads this! (that's probably no one, but oh well.) I've been so busy the last few weeks of summer, enjoying my last time with Derrick... and then saying goodbye to him, and starting high school.
Oh yeah, that's right. I started high school. Hellz yeah I'm a teenager!

Classes at my high school are very ordinary, and the people who attend those classes are very ordinary, and the teachers that teach the classes are very ordinary. It really is a very ordinary place... but that's fine with me. I kind of like ordinary these days. I know they say "routine is the hallmark of a small mind", but I've been praying for something simple and normal, something constant for what seems like forever now. I'm glad for things being the way they are now. I'm going to enjoy it while I can, before some other event happens and I'm all fucked over again.

Okay, enough about stupid high school. The other night, I went to see Silverstein, Ten Second Epic, Kingdoms, and I Am Committing A Sin in concert! it was an AMAZING show. Silverstein played one of my favorite songs of all time (My Heroine) and Kelsey got it all on video. On top of that, I got my picture taken with the lead singer, Shane Told! It was a real fangirl moment. I was just beaming.

I guess that's everything relevant going on in my life lately... This was more so an update to let everyone out there in blogger-land know that I'm still alive! I'll make sure to update more often.

Yours truly,
- Lexi
