Elise's bad and good news (procrastination time)

Elise is running around the house screaming like a madwoman.

That's nothing particularly unusual but, today I can't make out whether she's angry or happy.

As she bursts into my room, I figure it's actually both.

The good or the bad news first?
I always prefer the good one first, dunno why, maybe 'cause you can enjoy it to the fullest without having the bad one in mind yet...

Ok, so the good one: Leigh, at last!, asks her out. So it's official, they're together. Proper girlfriends! Elise is laughing like a 10 years-old girl, telling me how it took Leigh three consecutive phone calls to actually tell her properly how much she likes her. Well that's no news to me, cause seeing them together, it was pretty clear they had something special going on.
"Good on ya!" like they say here.

And the bad one: Her 17 years-old younger sister, Rachelle, refuses to talk to her anymore because she shaved her hair two days ago. Yeah, Elise did what I said a million of times I'd do someday, not out of exasperation like I would, but for a good cause, raising money for research on leukemia. If that makes a lot of people happy (including herself cause she looks really good with that funky haircut), some people are not amused... Like Rachelle screamed over the phone before hanging up, she'd rather have kids to die of leukemia than her to die of shame at her ball on Friday because her sister will show up at this very formal, graduation-like, dinner, with shaved hair... Ah, teenagers!!! Don't we love their genuineness!

Australians are good players in these "hair for money" things and I was surprised to see many people I know do the same thing... Like that friend of Sandra, Adina, the red-haired one, also shaved her long dreadlocks, raising almost 3000$!
But apparently, the participation to this "World's Greatest Shave" campaign is nothing compared to that of the yearly "Movember" event when loads of guys grow and groom their moustache for the full month of November to raise money for research on prostate cancer and on men's depression. Last year they apparently raised something like 6.5 millions$. What a shame I'll be missing out on that... moustache is sexy... But I was told that they're starting out in Canada this year! So I have something to look forward too.

I'll go have a look at their webpage.

(...anything not to get working on that essay right, Sarah?)
