They say the Devil's water, it ain't so sweet...

G'day.

So today, we didn't have school due to "inclement weather conditions" which doesn't make much sense, seeing as there is no precipitation currently falling in my area... though it does call later for some flurries and rain. Good news is, I missed the Friday before March break! Hooray(WTF? "hooray" is recognized by spell check as a real word and "yay" isn't?) for prolonged vacations!

So yesterday was out first day at school without Kelsey. I sat with Brett and Ryan as usual... but it was kind of awkward and quiet the whole time. I mean, me and Kelsey usually do most of the talking... and it's usually talk between us, so it was rather quiet. I mean, it was nice just hangin' out with the guys and everything, and I love them to death... but the essence Kelsey brought to the table was certainly missed. This is going to be more difficult that I first anticipated...

But anyway, I don't have any plans for March Break, which sucks royally... okay, well that's not true. I do have one. I plan on driving to Freddy sometime near the end of the break to get a pair of cowboy boots at the tack shop there. It's a birthday present from my grandmother (even though my birthday is in June) and my sister is getting a pair, too. So that's kinda exciting... I've wanted a real pair of cowboy boots since I was just a very little girl. When grandmas told me I was going to be getting a pair... I was ecstatic. I was so excited it was just stupid. Guess it's the kid left in me. :)

But see, other than that, I have no plans for the whole nine days I have off (Yes, I count it as nine because there's a weekend on either side.) Ryan's going to be busy at least half the time with family stuff, Kelsey's in Costa Rica... that's half of my best friends gone. Oh well. I guess I'll keep myself busy somehow. The time always flies by anyway. Expect the next post over the break.

Yours truly,

Heads we will, and tails we'll try again.

Hola.

It's currently hovering just around midnight over here on the East coast. I must say I am rather fatigued... but I just felt the need to write something before I went to bed... so blog, I turn to you.

I know I haven't updated much lately. It's not that nothing has been happening, hell, tones has been happening, I just never get around to writing about it I guess. I have to come up with the clever wording in my head usually, before I post. I'm strange, I am aware.

So, today was my last day seeing Kelsey until April. Why, you may ask? Well, she's leaving tomorrow for the several day journey by call to Philadelphia, where she will take a plane on March first to Costa Rica. She and her grandparents, with whom she lives, are gonna be staying there for exactly a month, from the first to thirty-first. Our circle of friends will miss her dearly I know, and I'll probably feel a bit lost without her as I always do. We're really the best of friends; we know next to everything about each other. But I want her to have enough fun for me too, so I've been trying not to make her think about the fact that she's really leaving.

In any case, we all bid our farewells to her today. It was rather sad... but it'll be just fine. When she returns, we will welcome her with open arms and many a "OMG KELSEY'S BACK!!", among other yelling. Have fun Kelsey! We love you. <3

On a different note, I believe that StumbleUpon is bad for my health. What is StumbleUpon? Well, it's this nifty little website where you can create an account and check all these little boxes with subject next to them that interest you (science, fashion, health, desks, etc.) and then when you hit the "Stumble" button, it will take you to a seemingly random web page that has something to do with one or more the the topics you listed. It's really a nifty thing... but it's addictive. One particular night last night, I stayed up past midnight playing Space Invaders. I hear them in my head, man... just getting faster and faster and faster and... well you get it. Anyway, it's really kinda cool and if you wanna check it out, Ale has been awesome enough to provide you with a direct link to the website. Have fun stumbling, but make sure to keep your eye on the clock. Heh heh.

Anyway, this has been good. To be honest, I always think "oh, I don't want to write in my blog tonight, I'll do it later" but whenever I do, I find myself not regretting it but being glad that I posted. Ahh, well, goodnight bloggy-land.

Yours truly,

- Lexi

And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine~

Greetings.

Sorry, I know I said I'd post some sort of rant before V-day, but I just never got around to it I guess. Sorry, readers(all two and a half of you).

In any case, Valentine's day with Ryan was great. We had to go out of town for the finals round in his most recent hockey tournament. I got to see my boyfriend and his team win their championship!! It was an amazing game, but a close one. They won in a shootout... but barely. Who knew I'd be a hockey nut, huh? Hehe. Go Blues!!

After that, we went to his house where we just kind of hung around for a while, and I had supper with his family, which was delicious. I had some of the best mashed potatoes ever there, not even kidding, and they're my favorite. That is high potato praise, my friend. It's a total bonus that Ryan's mom is a good cook.

Moving on to other things, it appears I have temporarily misplaced my cellular device... in other words, I lost my cell phone. I miss it terribly and I have no idea where it is. I've turned my locker inside out, looked all over my room and searched the house all to no avail. I am a bit disheartened by this, blog. I desperately hope that by the next time I post, I will have found it. Wish me luck. :(

Yours truly,

- Lexi

Maybe he needed to be wanted...

Hello, my dear and loyal blog.

I must say, my little perfect life wave must be coming to an end. Not so much a graceful one, either... and by that, I mean shortly after my last post I managed to fall on my left hand and re-sprain my wrist. Yeah, I suck, I know. I'm stuck with this brace on for God knows how long, and I had my riding lesson this morning without it, which was horrible because it hurt like a bitch. Guhh. I'm not doing so hot these days.

Speaking of hot, it's still close to -25 or -30 everyday now. I'm desperately hoping for a warmer February, because January's weather was just plain weird. It was uber cold one day, then -12 the next. In January, on the east coast... damn you, global warming! You're making all the Canadians come out of hibernation early, then freezing them to death! (I've seriously considered hibernating for the winter before. Then I realized I physically can't do that. )

Summer, please, PLEASE be on your way. We need to thaw out a bit. Lately, I've been daydreaming of laying down in the sand by Parlee Beach with my friends, absorbing as much heat as possible in a bathing suit... swimming everyday, biking everywhere, and best of all being able to ride in a t-shirt rather than three layers of clothing. Oh dear sunshine, how I miss thee.

Just a couple more months now until June. I'll be turning 15... all my friends will be fifteen by summer time. Sarah's birthday just passed, and all of Brett's, Ryan's, Kelsey's and my birthdays are within 20 days of each other. We're all Geminis, it's damn peculiar really. Goddamn, this is gonna be one amazing summer. And this time around, I have nothing to fear related to my loved one leaving for Nova Scotia at the end of the season. Ryan isn't going anywhere and I gotta say, I don't think I'd appreciate him as much if last summer had been different. Now a few shoutouts to the people I love, just cause' I'm in a good mood.

Ryan, I love you so much. You take such good care of me and you're amazing. <3
Sarah, you're a beautiful individual and I am infinitely proud of you. <3
Kelsey, you're the best wife ever. Nuff' said. <3
Brett, you are my best friend and someone I could never live without. I hope I never lose you. <3
Taryn, you are inspiring and positive... and a good friend. <3

And I think that's it. I'm going to go take a shower now and try to get some of this horse smell off of me before Ryan calls. I'll post again before V-day, probably with some long rant... stay tuned!

Yours truly,

- Lexi
