burnt hair

weeks ago was a blur. i got behind on the journal thing and now i'm trying to keep up. my roommate, jill, ended up singing (sp?) or should i say melting her hair off with my 3 barrell curling iron. she wanted to try using it, and i said sure - i had used it on sunday. we plugged itin with converter and adapter first andit didn't work, so thinking that i only use d the adapter, pluggedit in and the light turned on. a few minutes later she went over to start curling and when she saw smoke she startedto scream - she had taken off a good chunk of hair the curling iron was so hot! i ran over and just surveyed the damage - and then tried not to laughit all seemed really funny. we unplugged the curling iron and set it down and i looked at her hair. she really didn't have too much taken off and you coun't notice it anyway. i told her she was lucky it happened here and not at home where she had toface more people she knows. after we showed everyone the damage - including the 3 barreller with blackened hair burnt on to it, we threw the curling iron, i trimmed off the singed hairs to make them lay flat and then weopened a window, cause burnt hair smells really bad.
