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,
- Lexi

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,
- Lexi

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

These boots weren't made for walking!
Good day!
Yesterday, I went to my first horseback riding lesson in four years. Four years... I hadn't realized it before, but it's really been that long since I was on a horse. Being at the barn with Larry, and even seeing Dusty the old dog... it was all so nostalgic, and wonderful.
My sister, mother and I all went in the morning towards 9:30 for the lesson at 10. We stopped at Tim's and got coffee etc. for everyone... and off we went. As soon as we pulled in the long driveway, Dusty started barking and running like there was no tomorrow. He ran up and greeted the van, then trotted along beside us until we parked. Jillian had her lesson with Larry first, and I enjoyed my cafe mocha... then, it was my turn. Wearing my red grad hoodie and Katie's old riding boots, I was about to really ride for the first time in four years.
I hadn't expected to be so excited, but I really was. I got on and off the horse all by myself, something I couldn't do before. I rode completely by myself. I had control... something I always lacked before, simply because at ten years old, I didn't have enough strength to properly tell the animal what I wanted him to do. Speaking of the animal, his name is Sullivan (or Sully). He's my cousin Katie's horse, and he's staying with Larry (a big name in all things equestrian around here) for training and such. He's a big chestnut gelding, he'll be 11 years old next Saint Patty's day.
Needless to really point out further, the lesson was amazing. Everything seemed perfect. It wasn't too warm or too cold outside, with a clear blue sky and a pleasant light breeze. i honestly couldn't have pictured it going any better than it did. Jillian was just beaming when she got off of Sully, she had been on a lead line. And afterward, I was too. I much look forward to regular lessons every Saturday at 10, now.
Yeah, that's the only thing that's bee going on lately... except Derrick is coming back to Riverview today! I can't wait to see him, I missed him so much. I gotta enjoy my last three weeks with him as much as I can, it's all we've got left.
Yours truly,

Long time no update.
Ahh, hello there Blogger. So sorry I haven't been around lately!
I've been out almost everyday, doing whatever with the guys... walking, watching movies, swimming and going to Magic Mountain, and being general teenagers. Everything seemed great until two nights ago, Monday night, when Derrick told me something I never wanted to hear. He's not staying, after summer is over... he had said he might be.
I won't lie, I feel heartbroken and devastated. I wanted him to stay, and go to RHS with me SO bad... and, now, that hope is just gone. My heart kind of stopped that night, and it's gonna take a while before it starts beating again. Meanwhile, things between Derrick and I are really rough. It's because I can't help but act so cold to him, after he told me he wasn't staying. I wanted that more than anything, right now. And, when I'm hurt like this, this is what I do... I curl up in a ball kind of, and just vent resentfulness to whoever did this to me. I know it's not Derrick's fault, he really did have to go back, to his brother and his family... but that doesn't change how upset I was, and still am. I cried non-stop that night... but then I talked to Daniel.
Daniel, Derrick's brother, told me that I had to try to be happy for Derrick. He said that he doesn't want to see me hurt, and that it was the hardest thing Derrick had ever done. So, I'm going to try to appreciate that, and put my own sour feelings behind me. I don't know how exactly I'm going to do that... but I have to try. It might be a little easier because Derrick isn't around right now. He's in Truro for his brother's birthday, which is today.
I really, really hope we can get through this. I don't want to lose him. And I think... no, I know, that we can get through another year. We will see our anniversary, and then our second. I love him, and that's all I need.
Yours truly,
- Lexi
