I'll admit it... I am uncomfortable right now... I'm hot, sweaty and trying to not get cranky... I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't complain about the heat... and I'm not... we only go through this for a few weeks each year.. unlike the several months of snow we have to endure... so... no complaining...
The one thing I do notice about the heat is it brings out the crazies! They are everywhere.. at the grocery store yesterday... on the street today... on my street as a matter of fact... I even get a bit crazy when I am overheated... irritable.. and little things like someone putting down once of my favourite neighbourhoods has set me off and once again, another person I know said they wouldn't go into Parkdale on their own... I asked them why not... they said they would be too scared too... and then they proceeded to ask me... if I would... I said yes, being afraid of Parkdale is ridiculous, it is one of my favourite parts of the city... it is diverse, has it's funky little stores and quirky restuarants and is right beside my absolute fav neighbourhood ever... Roncesvalles.... what baffles me here is both the people who made these comments to me live in sketchy neighbourhoods themselves... yes Parkdale had a few rough years way back... but I don't get what the problem is... Parkdale is known as a hub for some of the most facsciating writers, photobloggers and artists that this city has!!! It is also a part of the city that inspires me in many ways...
Like I said... the heat brings out the crazies.
here are some links to more information about Parkdale and Roncesvalles!
