I thought I'd update
It's been a long time since I updated, and a lot has happened since then! The girl I mentioned in my previous entry that asked me to prom (whose name is Lesley) and I are now together. May 6th will be one month. Pretty spectacular stuff. :) I can't describe just how perfect and ideal she is for me. I can't believe I never saw it sooner than I did. I'll get back to that in a bit.
Lesley is going to prom...but I'm not. At my school, you have to sell 2 boxes of candy as a junior to pay for the prom. Being the fabulous class vice president that I am, I sold none. To get a ticket to prom would cost me about $70, and that's not even including all the other expenses. There's only one reason I would've gone to prom and that IS Lesley.
I despise prom. I've never been to it, but yet I still despise it. I will be glad once it's over so I don't have to keep hearing people talk about it. So many girls have those crazy magazines and they're going to the cancer capsules (aka: tanning beds) to "look good" for prom and all this stuff. I hate all the hype. It's just one night. I seriously doubt it'll even compare to the entire high school experience. It's too expensive and just stupid.
Now, as I was talking about before...Lesley is going to prom. She's going with a mutual friend of ours, and I have absolutely no problem. She's a senior and so is our friend (I'm a junior), and nothing will happen. But the thing I like about her is the way she doesn't do what the average female does. She does not go to the tanning bed, she doesn't have any piercings at all (not even ears), and I think she wears very little (if any) make-up (she doesn't paint her nails). And that's how she's going to prom. That's how she always looks...and she's such a cute girl! :) I've told her how cool I think that is that she is comfortable with herself and I think she appreciated it a lot. She and I get along so well, it's scary. She's always coming up with the word I want to say when I can't think of it and she also says what I'm thinking quite often. It's amazing...God's answered my prayer. :)
2 weeks ago I got my first kiss...and it was with Lesley. Very cool experience. :) It is fun, but I don't want it to be the highlight of our whole relationship or anything. I really want to keep it focused on God so we can both grow in our Christian walks. I want to keep her in my life as long as possible...she's an amazing person. I think this is the first relationship I can say I TRULY have been in love. Good stuff!
I did screw up today...I said something jokingly that hurt her. I felt horrible all day, but I apologized and everything is cool again. I know now that I could never and don't ever want to hurt her in any way. She's a sweet girl, and there's nothing about her I would want her to change. To anyone who does read this entry take this advice: think before you speak. It will help greatly!
Well, I am taking SAT's tomorrow, so that's where I'm stopping. God bless, keep it real.
