I'm sure we've all been caught off guard at some point...sometimes we'll scream, blush or run away. In this case there is a note of warning left on the door.
On Friday's our curfew isn't until one instead of midnight all the other days. So me and my friends were hanging out at my place until curfew. We were chatting and laughing, apparently not being too loud.
(Now before I go further, I should just let you know that Shelly liked to walk around in her unmentionables...)
It was about twelve thirty and I see a head peek around the corner. It was Shelly.
Anyways, before she came all the way around the corner she yelled, "What are they still doing here?!" Without us even replying she answered her own question, "Oh, crap...it's Friday isn't it..." She then proceeded to go back to her room and put on pants to then use the restroom.That isn't all!
The next day, I came up to my front door and saw a note. It read the following, "No male or female is permitted to be in this apartment past midnight on any day, unless they are residents. If person is found here past that time, they will be charged with trespassing." True story.
I'm assuming everyone reading this has used a public bathroom. Sometimes in public restrooms the light has a timer. Some people find this out the hard way...One day, Shelly walked in the door after class furious. We asked her what was wrong and all followed her into the kitchen. I had never seen her this angry (except for after the election of course)! She then proceeded to tell us this story of valor and nastiness.
Naturally, after class, Shelly had to use the restroom. She went in and sat herself down to take one of her hourly long sessions. She decided to pull out her phone for entertainment while she finished her business. After a while the timed light went out and she didn't know what to do! She set her phone on top of the toilet paper dispenser and started finishing up. She stood up and knocked her phone off the toilet paper into the toilet! Into all of that mess!
And of course she proceeded to do what anyone else in their right mind would do. She reached her hand in and took it out.
That was when she came home angsty. She then asked to borrow my phone to call her dad.
But, of course I said yes...Once again, I didn't even know if she washed her hands! After she gave it back I used so much hand sanantizer to clean my phone, it's a miracle that my phone didn't drown in that stuff.
I believe naps are the greatest thing of all time. They refuel you, create happiness and just generally make any one's day better. Am I wrong? Those of you that know me; know that I cannot get enough naps. You should also know that if someone wakes me up when I am not ready to be woken up, bad things can happen...
One day, I was taking my glorious nap between my morning and afternoon classes. I was asleep on my couch with my sweater blanket and my giraffe named Fast Freddie (A lovely giraffe if i do say so myself...). I suddenly was startled awake by Shelly laughing.
Haha ok not quite like that but I woke up not knowing what was going on. I tried not to think much of it and just rolled over with Fast Freddie in tow.The laughing soon turned into talking and giggling and I was soon wide awake. [Queue Katy Perry] Unable to sleep, I eavesdropped first to see if it was worth risking a conversation with her while I took my time getting ready for class. Shelly was talking to something that obviously wasn't listening. At first I thought she was skyping with her ex-boyfriend again. But then I realized I heard what sounded like a little kids show.
Shelly was watching My Little Pony at the kitchen table which is right at the entrance to the living room. I tried to block out the fact that she was talking to a bunch of little ponies in a screen but annoyance was growing inside of me. Soon enough it sounded like the ponies were mocking my nap time and in that instant I wished I was batman so I could do this:
I never said a word to her about it. She did it numerous times, not only with My Little Pony but with Spongebob and other kid series too. I even heard her tell someone that I was a heavy sleeper. I mean yes, I could've moved to my room but hey, who wants to get up in the middle of a nap?? Also, since when did Shelly do things outside of her room??
Well, Shelly wasn't very social. She stayed in her room most of the time, skyping/yelling with her ex-boyfriend or watching weird youtube videos (who knows where she found them). It was her little cave and sanctuary. One night, she decided to be social and sit with us out in the living room while we did our homework. We thought this was great at first because she was actually trying to put herself out there. The moment I heard her turn the volume all the way up, I knew this was going to be bad...our wonderful moment had turned disastrous.
We all have our favorite childhood book. I loved The Giving Tree and Shelly loved Stellaluna. Apparently you can have books read aloud to you on youtube...she was sitting close to me but on the other couch and singing along (I have no idea why there was singing, it's a book...?). I was laying down doing homework and just decided to rest my head for a few minutes until it was over and I could concentrate again. Just to let you know, Stellaluna has 3 to 5 parts depending on which version you choose to play. Now, I'm not sure which version she played but each part is 12 to 15 minutes long...here's a little snippet from that night of horror.
Just listen to that voice, with your volume all the way up...what you do after that, is up to you.
Well she watched the first two parts (well I assume just the first two based on how long I was out..) and then went into the bathroom. Evy woke me up and told me she just went into the bathroom. I was so glad, this meant I had, at the least, forty five minutes to finish my homework before she came back out.
YEAH!
For those of you who don't know my floor plan, the bathroom was just off of the living room. She started singing the opening theme song from Stellaluna like it was Broadway or something!! She didn't just sing it once, it was like it was on replay. I couldn't handle it...I was about to start pounding my head into the ground...
Well, the noise she was making started fading in to the background and I got going on my homework once again. It is truly amazing the humor that Heavenly Father has. Shelly was only in the bathroom for a record time of fifteen minutes.
I could not believe it! She came right back out and started watching Stellaluna again...I decided to just finish my homework the next day and just go to bed. Wise decision on my part...
