Have I told you I want to be a Ginger!

I need to tell people that even though I am only seventeen I have already started a bucket list! It does not mean that I am planning to die any time soon but from my point of view half of the things I want to do before I ‘pass away’ are way too strenuous or bizarre for an older aged version of me to attempt. I have the regular things on my list such as running a marathon, eating seal and buying my way into space but none of these things can be accomplished while on Katimavik. Therefore I decided I wanted to accomplish another point on my list which was to dye my hair red.

Now I feel like I needed a reason to make such a drastic change to my hair colour but I could not seem to find a single valid reason in support of this endeavour. However on Wednesday I got an opportunity which was too good to give up. The whole Katimavik district came up to Vanderhoof for the New Year’s weekend and one of the planned activities was a Talent Show. Call me crazy if you must but we (as in my Katimavik group) thought it would be funny (maybe incredibly inappropriate) for me to sing a straight faced version of Springtime for Hitler from the Musical Comedy “The Producers”. If you are unsure of what the song is, it is basically a song about Hitler and the regime which mocks them through actions so if you take away the actions you are left with an incredibly racist song. We needed to make my musical number legitimate therefore going all out and bleaching my hair was a necessity. I was totally expecting it to look horrible but I was pleasantly surprised to see that my hair wasn’t a disaster and that it turned out reasonably well. It might look strange and actually kind of funny, but it is all in the name of Musical Theatre and hopefully my number will get a few laughs (after the fact of course). So to make a long story short I did not accomplish one thing on my bucket list but it was still an event in my life which was worth blogging about
