A Red HOT V-Day Gift

I am so sorry that it has been such a long time. I know I have gotten a few emails saying 'Kaitlyn you should really update your blog!'. SO you know who you are, and I hope you are happy now! So the day after Valentines day... guess what happened! (oh and dont think too much into it because I am fine now!) well, I will just tell the story! so anyways... I had to go to Taksim that night (by myself!!!!-thanks all you exchange people!!!) to order a cake for Steves Birthday (an American exchange student) so I was ordering a cake when a protest broke out--(well there are always protests going on but this one got a little out of controle, and moved to the area I was at)--so I waited for it to move not really watching what was taking place--(after you have seen a few of these its just best not to watch it or get too bothered by it). so after it moved down the other way, I stepped out of the cake shop, when my eyes started burning and I kept thinking my nose was bleeding! I had to walk into a bookstore so I could pull myself together. But nothing got better, I was like crying and I didnt know what happened. The shop guy was passing out water to the people in the store, thats when I relized it wasnt just me that was feeling this way. I asked around to see what happened and I guess a bunch of pepper spray was used in the protest. and it was all over in the air still. I had walked out of that cake shop right away, which was so dumb! Well Im fine now but just to let you all know, if you havent ever been sprayed with pepper spray you are very lucky because It really really sucks and isnt a very nice valentines gift! I love you all, I hope you had a great ValentinesDay! XOXOXO
