Oh my gentle j-j-jesus. It's 2:20am and this now marks the 5th time in the last week and a half that the fire alarm has gone off. Yup. My blood pressure would like to make the following shout outs:
1) to the firefighters for always showing up at least 15 minutes AFTER the alarm starts
2) my ears woulld like to put in a special plug to the sirens in my room, without which there would be no high-pitched ringing right now (and for the next hour)
3) to the nice girl who lives across the hall - we see each other every time this happens
4) my shaking hands would also like to put in a special plug to the sirens, for without them it wouldn't be taking me 20 minutes to write this adoring entry
5) and finally, one overall shout out for either A) the system, or B) the mother fucker who keeps setting it of, for making me feel like I'm back in college all over again
Thanks again everyone. Looking forward to next time!

I just sleep through the damn things. I sit there and put a pillow over my head and pretend like I'm in a submarine. Actually, it's kind of creepy that I can sleep through that kind of stuff. When it first went off, I sat on my knees and started hitting my alarm clock, thinking I somehow was creating that noise with my alarm (REM will do some crazy things to your brain). Realizing that it WAS the fire alarm, I was somehow able to get back to sleep. Ah yes, and give you the one armed guesture that said "F* this alarm, I'm not dragging my booty out of bed and downstairs". Maybe if it was like 75 degrees outside I would or...
I just got it. You know what's happening? Some girl, thinks some guy on her floor is hot. And the only way for her to see him is for her to set off the fire alarm so that they can both meet downstairs. A brilliant plan. They should capture her and torture her by making her listen to Kenny G for hours on end - non interrupted.
Last thought... Don't they KNOW who's triggering the fire alarm. In which case, shouldn't they kick that tenant's ass? I would. Do you have a pillow? The war's on.
I'm starting to think that *I* want to pull the alarm if there's a cute guy I can see everytime. Alas, it's always just me and the girl across the hall. Every. Time.
At least she has a cat. I'm going to tell her to put it on a leash next time and bring it out. Yay!
