Four girls should not be allowed to spend five solid days together in rural Montana. I love my friends, and we had some very good times, but I am so ready for something different and, as after every trip, I never want to leave Portland again. Montana had patches of beauty nestled into wide spances of nothing. The place where Laura lives in a log cabin off the grid in the back woods, was very nice. The hotel was stayed in was nice in the sense that it was basically a crappy apartment, with two seperate bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a bathroom. It was crappy in that the oven and stove didn't work, so we couldn't make s'mores. It would have been the perfect setting for a slasher film, complete with the neon "No Vacancy" sign where the "no" constantly flickered.

The murderer would be the guy who lives, also off the grid, on the property next to Laura, Fred Manske. Laura would be the first to die because she has the worst vision, the darkest complexion, and is the local who would be the most useful were she not to have already died. Laura would drunkenly stumble into town for more cigarettes and get brick to the back of the head as she rounded the corner from the gas station. Jen, Katie and I are continuing our drunken revelries, and it's at least an hour before we even realize that Laura should have been back. Knowing Laura, we assume she got sidetracked at one of the town's super classy bars. Jen is getting tired, and thus cranky, so we decide that she'll hold down the fort while Katie and I go into town to look for her. The entire town is shut down, other than the gas station and two bars. When Katie and I get back to the hotel we see that the room is empty and the shower is going, so we just assume that Jen's girliness has gotten the best of her. Katie notices that she's missed a call from Thomas, and she tries to call him from the room phone while I make myself a ham and turkey sandwich. This is when we realize that the phone doesn't work.

Now we're getting nervous. We go knock on the bathroom door, but aren't especially concerned when we get no reply. We turn on the TV and get into to bed to wait for Jen to finish her shower and/or Laura to return home. Footloose is playing, and we get so distracted by it that we don't realize until it's over how abnormally long Jen has been in the shower. We knock on the door again, this time louder, and shout at Jen. When we get no response I kick the door open and we see Jen, completely pale, slumped against the shower wall, covered in blood with her throat slit across. Obviously, we scream and jump back, Katie bumping into the killer, who was hiding in Laur and Jen's closet. We scream again and bolt for the car. Our room is pretty messy, and being more agile, I make it to the door first. I slam the screen door behind me, which Katie promptly runs into, getting knocked unconscious. Altruist that I am, I don't even look back as I jump into the car and speed toward safety. Don't worry, I come back in the sequel to avenge their deaths, and right at the end we discover that Katie is still alive. You'll have to see the third movie to learn how she survived, what became of her, and how she will finally kill Fred Manske.

Katie: Easy Mac is different from regular?
Me: Yes, it's easier.

Laura: I still remember the time you got me drunk and stole me money.
Jen: That wasn't stealing! You took me on a date!
Me: And you didn't put out, so that's stealing.
