burning down the house
i'm glad my roommates don't read my blog. i could have potentially caused a fire in our apartment twice this week.
the first time was when i came home and noticed my flat iron was left on for the whole day. i've done this a few times already, edmonton and toronto, and it's usually because i put it down to play with my hair, thinking i'll need to do some touch-ups, but i never do, and forget i left it on. thus, leaving it on the whole day. and for anyone who knows what the chi flat iron is, it gets super hot, it's not just some dinky revlon flat iron you get a walmart.
the second time was today when i came home and noticed i left my iron plugged in the whole day too. i was changing after work, and heard the click sound the iron makes when it's hot enough.
now i'm not sure if either of these things will cause fires if left on for an extended period of time, but i don't want to find out either.
time to get some insurance. although if they rule the fire was caused by negligence, the insurance company doesn't pay up, right?

If you were in the US, you could probably sue the flat iron company for making their product too hot, or for not turning off itself. But you're not in the US. Maybe you should just leave your hair...isn't your asian hair naturally straight?

it is straight, but it's not chi straight.
i want to put a wave in my hair, i've always had straight hair, time to mix it up a bit.

you should get some insurance. i'm sure theres some loop hole in claims if neglegance is the cause.
