Hello, September!

Wow, I can't believe September's here already! But I guess I could take a cue from the weather--it's muggy in the morning, we sweat through lessons, and then it's the perfect temperature at night.

There have been some major changes around here. It's so weird with Riley gone. Not that I miss her, but for Clare's sake, it's hard to watch a friend be betrayed. Harder still when I'm gaining a friend-friend in Drew. Someone I hope to be my . . . eeeek . . . boyfriend! *blushes*

I had a great ride yesterday. Mr. Conner rode with us on Luna, a stable horse he borrowed from a member of the advanced team. Whoever was supposed to ride Luna then was sick. Mr. Conner took us out on an amazing cross country course! We jumped logs, splashed through creeks, hopped over small fallen trees, and lots of brush. We did well and Mr. Conner rewarded my class by letting us gallop in the open field.

No better feeling on the planet!! :)

In non-horse related news, it's only the start of September and Becca and Khloe have been back and forth on BBM pre-pre-PRE planning my birthday party. They're freaking out (okay, okay, I am too!) that I'm turning thirteen. I told them to stop (Guys, are you reading this?!) and focus on school and stuff, but they're not listening. They're talking decorations, food, and who knows what else. Khloe's told me that she's going to form a "birthday committee" for me and I was like, "Noooo! Please don't! Seriously!"

But Khloe is, well, Khloe. She was quick to get on board with my idea about gifts though. </:) You'll find out all about that in MASQUERADE!! Hurry up September 11th!

  3. Hey Laur~

    Right on time for school!

    It doesn't quite feel like September yet, maybe because I wore long pants today (along with the rest of my classmates, thought it was gonna rain, silly us!) and almost DIED.

    -NC

    Aaaaaanyway, if you didn't know, Luna is Eric Rodriguez's fav stable horse, so he probably borrowed her from Eric. Just so I can put the pieces together for anyone who didn't make that connection ;)

    School starts and also for me, Riding starts back on the 15th! (apparently) Barn is closed to let the horses rest for a bit and apparently theres a new barn! as in an add on to the stables :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    So excited, and I can't WAIT for Masquerade!

  10. You are positively disgusting. Hmm let's see...you're 12 and you kiss your boyfriend on the mouth every other day (you actually have a boyfriend...That boy must be crazy) , you buy branded lingerie, use piles of make-up (not that your face actually looks any better) and you panic and overreact over the smallest things. And you're a "Straight-A student" ?! Please, if you're really a straight-A student, I'm a genius .Calling yourself a straight-a student is insulting to truly intelligent people.

    1. o.k. person whoever you are. Hate mail is NOT appreciated. If you don;t like the books, who cares? Don't read them then.
      And your post is highly offending to anyone who is a straight A student.
      This website is for LT fans. Not haters!

    2. Dear unnamed party,
      In case you didn't read the post carefully,let me tell you that I was insulting Lauren Towers, a fictitious character , not Ms Burkhart or Canterwood Crest fans. Since I was just criticizing a fictitious character, why do you need to react so violently? And, if you have enough time to defend a fictitious character, you might as well come up with a less flawed argument.
      Firstly, if hate mail is appreciated, why would I send it? I don't spend my time entertaining fictitious characters and cretins. Secondly, if no one cares that I don't like the books, why are you lecturing me? You seem to care. A lot. I'm advising you to improve your verbal skills before jumping to the defense of a fictitious character. Thirdly, I don't need you to give me advice; I stopped reading the series at Chosen. And you better rephrase your sentence a little, because according to your logic, someone who doesn't like homework shouldn't do his/her homework. Fourthly, which real straight-A student is demented enough to spend time idling away on the blog of a fictitious character in a uninspiring book series? Maybe you should become a straight-A student yourself before making groundless assumptions. Lastly, don't even think of replying since you think that I'm looking for attention and have agreed to ignore me. The least you can do is keep to your word for once.

    3. Um...Hi.

      So I just wanted to clear this whole thing up (or try to at least because I'm not sure how you're going to react to this).

      This website/blog was set up for (as far as I understand it) Canterwood Crest FANS. If you are not a fan, I don't see why you would waste your time on here.

      And also, according to your logic, since Lauren Towers is a fictional character, why insult her if she's not real? Ms. Burkhart blogs as Lauren Towers because its a new way to connect with fans and have some all around fun.

      I can tell you don't like Lauren, and that's perfectly okay! You might have liked Sasha better, I have no idea, I am not you nor am I attempting to know you. But some people on this blog REALLY like Lauren, and what you wrote to her was a little offensive personally.

      If you could maybe stop that would be much appreciated. We do have younger audiences and readers on this blog, and your kinda breaking the fourth wall if you know what I mean.

      Also, I know I was the one who said to ignore it, but I felt it important to reply.

      I hope there won't be more conflict in the future,

      Best(Truly)regards,
      Northern Cascade

    4. Alright, I shall be reasonable. When I came across this blog on the web, I had no idea it was the official blog written by Jessica Burkhart, I thought it was just another fan-made blog so I didn't really bother with my language. I'm sorry for offending people, especially since this is the official blog. As for your question about why I would bother with Lauren Towers if she was a fictitious character, well, I initially thought that this blog was fan-made and that it would be fun to see how Lauren (fake) would react, especially since the what I pointed out was mentioned in the book . My apologies for being rude.

    5. Thank you.

      Yeah, I guess thats a mistake anyone can make, but it would have been wise to do a little looking around the site first, but still your misconception was understandable.

      I understand, thank you for apologizing.
