so heres a story for you.
i was sleeping nicely, probably dreaming a nice dream, when i suddenly awaken. i hear crackling and thinking it was 6 in the morning or so i said "what is guy doing?". i open my eyes and i see my window, a bright shade of orange. now im really confused. it takes me a few moments and i think, maybe something is on fire. i put my glasses on and stand up. through my blinds i see flames, i move closer. i see the fence and the garabage on fire right next to guys truck. i run downstairs to mom and guys room trying to wake them up. "mom! guy! the garbage and fence are on fire!", "what?" replies mom, "THE GARBAGE AND FENCE ARE ON FIRE". mom and guy come jetting out of their bedroom. guy runs outside to move the truck, mom calls 911. i look at the clock, it's 2:50 am. a few moments after the dispatch went over the pagers stacy calls moms cell phone. "are you nuts?", said stacy. i tell her what happened. shes on her way to the firehouse. guy goes back to the backyard and takes out the hose. he starts spraying the garage because the siding is starting to melt. he then takes a chance (he wasnt sure how the fire would react) and sprayed the fire. office demonte pulls up to the house. the fire is mostly out. demonte comes inside to talk to me since i'm the one who discovered the fire. the guys from company 3 pull a hose up the driveway to make sure that everything is out. jeff morrisette arrives, he asks if this is the only way he gets to see us (he's a family friend who grew up across the street from my dad and who we're very close to but hardly see). everything calms down a bit. guy and i are the most calm, mom on the other hand is a reck. demonte told me that i get an A+ for my fire responce (he's adorable, no lie). stacy shows up. everyone slowly leaves. i was just downstairs and demonte was still in front of the house, about 30 or so minutes since we last spoke to him.
now dont mind my story telling at 4 in the morning, it's probably not very good.
so we think the cleaning people might have put ashes in the garbage this morning. that ash would have been from the fireplace that was on last night, therefore cooled but no where near enough to even think about putting in the garbage. so it is very possible that they ashes were in the garbage all day slowly burning into a big fire. a section of the fence is burnt to a crisp and torn down. both garbage cans melted to nothing. guys truck has damage on the right side mirror. im still a little shooken up, it's now 4:14. i dont know if i'll be able to sleep or not.
but hears the weird part of it all. this evening when i came home and i saw the tin bucket of ash that guy had taken out of the wood stove i thought, hm i wonder if the cleaning people cleaned the fire place and were smart enough to put the ash in the tin or if they threw it away. i also was thinking about nicky and mikey (jeff's kids) earlier because mikey added me on facebook and i havent seen them in ages.
needless to say it's been a very interesting night. i still dont know how i even woke up. i sleep through everything, including me alarm yesterday morning. we obviously have angels watching over us. and we sure know how to bring some excitement into this town.
but with that i'll watch the last part of full metal alchemist, which i think is actually an episode i've seen.
hmm and i was going to get up early to run errands then go to school to read, i dont know how that will go.
