the same...

It has been a while since my last blog writing. I find myself wondering what to say as one million and one things race through my brain. I can honestly say... Not much has changed. The people in Toronto on the TTC are still smelly (although it's getting better because the weather is getting colder). I still hear people talking to their pets in baby voices. People are still walking slowly on the TTC platforms- and everywhere, for that matter. People are still horrible drivers (I haven't mentioned this before but do I really need to?). CHANGE. This is what we are in need of as a people. NEW. New things in our lives (well, mine at least). New clothes, new shoes, new hair! Don't be afraid to embrace change. It's good for you. I know I haven't embraced much change with my hair over the years (it's really hard to do crazy things to curly hair because it looks awful when it's short). But something happened to me.... to make me feel like I needed a change.

It was the summer of 2005. I was in line for Top Gun and I had my hair in a high curly ponytail. In front of me was a girl that looked like an old friend I hadn't seen since summer of 1997 when we were still in elementary school. She finally saw I was behind her and said, 'OH MY GOD! I haven't seen you in forever and wasn't sure if it was you! But as soon as I saw that hair in that ponytail I knew it had to be you. You haven't changed a bit!'. THANKS A LOT! I haven't seen you in forever and the best compliment you can give me is that I look the same as I did when I was 10. I was stupefied. I vowed from that day on I would never again be remembered as the girl with the puffy ponytail.
