Calm down girls! I'll tell you what I got myself into already...haha. I admit that I'm quite flattered by your curiousity in this though! hehe ;)

So Sunday night I'm on msn (no surprise here) and Derek comes online (yes, the Derek...Monday night Derek, the one I used to like...etc.) and we start to talk..."hey sexy" it begins, ohhh Derek...hehe...His internet connection is terrible, so he keeps signing in and out of msn, and I'm getting super annoyed by this, so I sign out and email him instead. Turns out he's using his neighbours wireless internet. Baaaad Derek ;)

Monday morning. I wake up and go to check my email, which of course means signing into msn too...well, Derek's online again! I forgot that Mondays are his day off...*silly me* :P Anyway, he asks what I'm up to, and in my head I'm thinking "say you're busy, you've got a full day ahead of you" but I type "oh nothing, you?" OY! Derek suggests that we should do something. my head "no! no! no! back away!!!" I type: "what do you suggest we do?" OY VEY! He says he's open to anything and that I will be the "official social coordinator" for the day. *SIGH* The next thing I know, he's got my address and he's coming to pick me up at 2:30pm. SHIT. WHY THE FUCK AM I GOING OUT WITH DEREK??? We're just friends I keep telling myself......

He picks me up in his damn nice red truck (so nice, I love it!! and no, this was definitely not my first time in this truck either...hehe). I tell him that we're going to White Rock (aka the Beach for those who don't know). It wasn't the best of weather, but that's okay - we were just going to walk along the sidewalk and pier anyway.

Interesting car ride over there....he got us so lost....took the "scenic route" HA! It was cute though, both of our mom's called us while we were driving, hahaha. And they both asked where we were and who we were with. We both said that we were in White Rock, and both said we were with "a friend". My mom knew something was up. I'm never out with just a "friend" - she always gets a name. Oh well. I wasn't going into who Derek was over the phone - and with him sitting right next to me! I mean, c'mon! lol.

I had a good time though, he did his best to impress me with his singing talents, and his diverse love of music (kudos to him for that though!). After we'd finished in White Rock (and almost crossed the border, hahaha), we were driving back towards my place (at this point, the plan was we'd stop by my place and I'd get my overnight stuff - for my AUNT's house, sheesh! and then we'd go back to his place and he'd make me dinner! SO sweet!!! Chicken, rice and vegetables! I mean, I as melting here! *sigh*). But then....*RING RING RING!* My cell phone rings. It's Katya.

I tell her that I'm still with Derek, and we're actually really close to her house. She freaks a bit. I then tell Derek that we could stop by and say hi to her. She freaks even more. "Turn right here" I say to Derek, Katya: "where are you???" me: "right by the school." (Katya lives RIGHT across the street for our old high school) Katya "NOOO!!! OMG! OMG!!!" hahahaha. This was HIGHLY enjoyable ;) We're coming to kidnap Katya!

Oh right. And before then Katya had talked to Derek using my phone, and yeah, I'm not going into what they discussed....but DAMN HER!!! (but I forgive her now...)

The three of us are all in Derek's truck, and we're driving past my old high school and we see my sister and her friend out painting props for the school's theatre company. Derek yells out the window "Hi Christine's sister!!" I wanted to die!!! But it was pretty funny, she was all shocked and then called me right away demanding to know "WHO WAS THAT GUY???" LMAO. She cracks me up.

We go to a local pub for dinner, and ironically enough Derek and I each order the same thing...without knowing that's what the other one was ordering....ooooOOOooooOOOOOoooo...lol. We each have a drink, and talk, my sister text messages me a few times asking about "the boy" and "the truck" - she quite liked the truck, haha. We had a good time, which was nice. I'm glad we're all able to just get along - and don't ask we wouldn't, but it was just a nice surprise.

We went to drop Katya off at her house, and did a bit of spontaneous parking lot dancing, and sat and talked on the back of Derek's truck. After a brief fight between Katya and I (you should've seen the scratch on my arm!!!! hahaha. Seriously though! The guys at the bar later that night loved it...hehe...;), Derek and I took off. I found out my mom was coming again tonight, so I said that I better ride in with her instead. So we said goodbye, but not for long - since I'd be seeing him in N.Van in a couple of hours.

Went out to N.Van, and met up with my aunt and the new Swiss student staying at her house, Christian. Things pretty much went normal for most of tonight...except all my 'girls' were absent...so oh *darn* that meant I had to hang out with the guys. LOL. Derek, Hardy and Kyle - of Derek's roommates.

It was quite interesting to see Hardy slowly put the pieces together and realize that Derek and I spent the day together...he did seem a bit jealous...which is completly and utterly fine with me. There is absolutely nothng for him to be jealous of though! Don't worry here!! I'm still all over Hardy, and Derek is very sweet and funny...but I just want him as a friend. That's all.

Anyway, had many good talks with Hardy...lots of teasing...we seem to be very good at teasing each other, lol. And yes...at then end of the night...after my mom, my aunt, Derek, Kyle...everyone that I was talking with there had left...Hardy hung out with me for a bit, and then drove me to my aunt's house. That guy is just too sweet. I could've stayed - Kevin and Chris were there. But when I realized he was still there because of me...well...I couldn't very well stay even longer without him could I?

So yes. My big "what the fuck have I got myself into???" was spending the afternoon with Derek. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it could've been. I was worried he'd try to make a move, and I'm just not interested in that with him. He's lots of fun to flirt with (we licked our lips at each other on Monday, haha), but I don't want anything serious with him.

Spent the night at my aunt's as usual - except this time I got the couch (since both spare rooms were occupied with paying students...grrr...lol.) Relaxed in the sun in her garden yesterday afternoon while Eric was napping and Robbie was at pre-school. Played with the boys, had dinner there and had a good time. Minus of course Eric's first time vomiting. Yeah, that was something that I will forever be grateful I wasn't in the same room when that happened!! Projectile and everything...EWWWWWW!!! I hear my aunt "Christine! Start the bath! I'm bringing him in!" haha. It was nasty. We'll just leave it that!

Stopped at Pier One with my mom on the way home (she drove out to get me), and then Hardy called right when we were stopping at the Superstore. So sweet of him. (Have I mentioned how much I like him??) I couldn't really talk then, but I made sure to call him back later that night at home. *sigh* It's so nice talking with him...I don't feel pressured to act a certain way, I do get the butterflies....but they're nice, happy butterflies...

So today...(I might as well do a complete wrap up here)...I opened at work, came home and went outside in the sun with my book. sooo nice! I'm getting a flip flop tan line already!! WOOHOO!!! My shoulders are darkening too! My arms are all the SAME COLOUR!!! No t-shirt lines....:) I'm very proud of myself! It would have been almost perfect out there...if it hadn't been for my creepy neighbour who kept looking into my backyard *shudder*! Scary!!! Oh well...what I go through to look good....LOL.

Just finished having some lunch and watching my soap opera (guilty pleasure #15), and now I think I'll head out into the sun once again. Not for long though, Katya should be calling me any minute to go up to the gym.

Later chickas (well, and dudes...I'm just thinking more girls are reading this than guys...;)
