Recent episode of my life
So this will probably solidify in everyone's minds that I am indeed a spaz. I shall tell it as a dialogue, between myself and my overly sensitive smoke detector....
Me: *taking steamy shower with the bathroom door cracked open singing along to Coldplay*
Smoke Detector (from now on known as SD): ...
Me: *turning water saver lever to let the conditioner sit while I shave*
SD: *makes strange sick, warbling sound*
Me: ???
SD: *continues making odd sound*
Me: *realizing the steam has set off deranged SD* Shit... *shakes off excess water and hops out of the shower with shaving cream foaming in one hand and running out into bedroom* Sonuvabitch--*jumps and smacks button on SD because she's too damn short to reach the top of the doorway*
SD: *loud obnoxious normal smoke alram sounds* EEE-EEE-EEE
Me: Shit *smacks it again and nearly slips on linoleum upon landing*
SD: EEE-EEE-EEE
Me: *grumbling more obscenities as she runs back and forth trying to figure out what to do with the shaving cream and finally figure out she should chuck it in the sink; also, grab a towel to wrap around her nekkid self because she's stupid and didn't think of it before hand*
SD: EEE-EEE-EEE!!!!
Me: *grabs chair and stands on it to press button on SD to shut the damn thing up*
SD: EEE-EEE-EEE!!!!!!
Me: *cursing like a sailor as she rips the SD off the wall and proceeds to shake it, pound the button, and otherwise strangle it*
SD: EEE-EEE-EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: AUGH!!! *pressing button frantically and getting mental image of running to neighbor's door in a towel cuz she can't turn off a stupid smoke alarm!* *decides that's out of the question because unlike in the books and romantic comedies she's seen, this would not end happily ever after but in awkward-land*
SD: EEE-EEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEE
Me: *chucks it under still unpacked duffel bag*
SD: *muffled* EEEEEEE-EEEEEE-EEEEEEEE!!!!!
Me: *more obsenities as she crouches on the floor and holds the damn button down for a long time*
SD: EEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooohhh....
Me: ...
SD: ...
Me: *sigh of relief* *replaces SD on wall praying it doesn't go off again* *looks around at trail of water all through bedroom* I shouldn't have gotten out of bed...
...a few minutes later in the shower...
Me: *imagining what she must've looked like running around nekkid and trying to kill the SD* *cannot stop laughing*
So that was my eventful day. And now I'm getting kicked out of the UCen, so I'll see ya'll later.
