there is a happy ending -- a heartwarming true story of finals, oversleeping, social networks, and the power of friendship.
And a dancing vid!
Club Can't Even Handle Me by CateMonster.
(And now, off to continue prepping for the party!) [Oh, ha! Of course today is the day that the bathroom doorknob breaks. And a piece of the front door defects. I think I have left panic behind and am well into the fatalistic: we've welcomed our guests to worse. As long as the furnace and water continue to work, I think we'll be okay.]
(We did, once, have a party at which the furnace malfunctioned badly -- I mean, I could see the burner flame through cracks that weren't supposed to be there. We did not burn the house down, but I don't like to think how close we came. Some friends also ended up picking the front door lock to put the keys inside the house when they left. We're kinda glad that neither the cops nor the landlady noticed that part. And then there was the one party that just...happened, despite the best efforts to cancel it by our household. It was pretty good!)
