so i had to work until 11 and i come home and am sitting at my computer when martyna (roomie) asks if she can have my spare key cuz she's taking my car to work in the morning... no problem i tell her and throw them at her expecting her to catch them. it seems as though i underestimated her ability to be a complete dork.. she ducks and they hit the cabinet behind her. she turns and goes to pick them up and they are not there... how can this be u ask??? well it perplexed us for some time as well... we got on our hands and knees in the kitchen and looked under the stove and all the cabinets and under/above/in/around/everything else--- they were no where to be found. now i do believe that there may be a ghost that resides in my home in lombard but down here i have no suspicion of ghosts stealing my keys... but i was still quite perplexed.
after waking up our other two roommates (it was 12:30 by this time because we had spent so much time looking) melissa came down to help us look. after a good hour of flashlights, hammers, screw drivers, pencils, sticks, and other random utensils... we finally managed to find them under this one cabinet all the way back against the wall. now this wouldnt seem like such a big deal except that the cabinet has trim under it and it took us a good twenty minutes to break the trim enough to even see under there let alone fit anything under there.. it is next to impossible to get something to slip under that trim --- let alone something large (key and keychain) thrown from 10 feet away.
i can not articulate to u how unbelievably funny and confusing it was to find these magical keys that somehow slid between trim and tile where there was no room. and for the record i am dropping out of college and becoming a carpenter because i had way too much fun attacking the cabinet and breaking it apart... my dad would be proud
in retrospect... the story isnt very funny but we haent stopped laughing for about two hours now... and i thought i would share it anyway...
