Yesterday I wasn't home, so I couldn't write in my journal.....sorry! Well Anyhow why don't I tell you what happened...Yesterday morning I embarked on what seems a simple journey....to the hair dresser, but the not so simple part of it was that I was getting 2+1/2 inches of my hair cut off, and I was having it colored brown....only semiperminent though. All was going well untill my haridresser left me under the hairdryer too long...with the color on....and My hair got a little too dark, to say the least I've tried washing my hair four times this morning, and three last night, but it hasn't much lightened up. Next I got to go sit in the hospital among all of the sick and dying people while my brother got a mono spot test done....my mom thinks he might have mono...oh joy! After I endured that suffering we went to the library....peace at once! My mom and I were looking for the book my brother had choosen to read and BOOM! there it was "Like water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquirel...at first glance I thought 'oh this book would be boring' but when i picked it up and read the first page.....I had to read it! Immedately when we got in the car I began reading, and was intreagued by the book..Tita, the main character, was a reflection of myself, and I loved her, though she was put through much agony....even in the first chapter that I read on the way home. When I got home, I ate and went for a jog, but after that I once again began reading the 246pg. novel.......I couldn't put the book down chapter by chapter, I had to keep reading, I loved this character so much, and the book felt so real. Eventually I had to put the book down to take a shower....to try to get some of my hair color out...and to rest my eyes, but when I was dressed and out, I went on to reading the book.....I read like i'd never read before, and by 11:30pm last night I finnished the whole 246 pages! It's almost like I imagened myself reading the book, for the simple fact that I read it so fast, but I know that I did read it, I know that I was sitting there reading that book, that touched me like no other book ever has.......Besides that I talked to bobby yesterday, he called me 3 times.......don't ask! I always depress both of us, he seems like the happieness, and i'm the depressant between the too of us.....Well I have to go change some other things, and sort out my boggled head.......oh and by the way...i'm getting my permitt today....and with such a lovely hair color!!!!!! hehe
