Just a little snippet o my past :)
So lately... I've been thinking about this time when I was a little kid. It was the summer before 5th grade and I'd moved out to Reno, NV. ( I lived there for a year and then come christmas major drama and back to Cali I came! ) So I was going to the YMCA summer camp... I started in the middle of it because of when I'd move to nevada so I didn't really know anyone... well me being the little social butterfly I was I started goin up to the other kids and introducing mahself and attempting to play in the all the little reindeer games. See at this point in my life I was a little bit of a tomboy.. I kept my hair like.. seriously short... it was a bowl cut right above my ears and shaved in the back... and like... being that I was all of 11 or so years old.. I didn't exactly have a chest so.. to be blunt. I looked like a boy.
so I tried to go play with the other kids but all they did was like.. make fun of the fact that I looked like a boy and so on and so forth... I was crushed... so I went over and found a rock and sat on it crying... after a little while the head counseler came over and started talking to me... He was a really tall, handsome, native american guy... I don't remember his name but he was sooo nice... So he asked why I was sitting there by myself... I told him it's because all the kids were making fun of me and saying I looked like a boy... Then he reached up behind his head and pulled out his hair tie revealing this long, raven-black beautiful hair... and he looked at me and said " So what do you think I get mistaken for? " I laughed and said " A girl "... he said " exactly " ... we laughed a little bit longer and he told me to go and try again... and I made some really great friends that summer... :) I'll never forget that... he was so awesome... mebbe that's why I like guys with long hair :) I've always had pleasant memories of them... but.. who knows :)
