Chapter Fourteen: Phantom of the Opera

The first day I met Shelly, we were talking about the classes we were taking and I mentioned a vocal class that I signed up for. She immediately began to tell me about how amazing she was at singing and that that was the one thing she was good at. She told me that if I ever needed any help that I should come to her.

 

Well, one night we were together with some friends to carve pumpkins. She had a crush on one of our friends and so she walked in there like this, completely ready to impress him:

 

She put her Phantom of the Opera CD in. At this point I had only really heard her sing in the bathroom, whether it was in the shower or during one of her sessions. So I had no idea what was really going to come out of her mouth. She really wanted to show off to him so she started to sing along and I immediately could not believe her statement from the first day. It was as if a ribbon got stuck in her throat so when she sang, it just flapped around in all directions. You know like those old ladies that sing in church?

Now it wasn't terrible, it was just that I would rather listen to the good singers on the CD. She thought she was doing fabulous. My roommates and I made eye contact with one another and immediately all knew what the other was thinking:

 Yikester bikester. She didn't stop! She sang about half the CD, especially the really, really high parts because "she could do those really well". Now whenever I see or hear Phantom of the Opera, I'm just like:

 

Chapter Thirteen: Halloween

It was Halloween and craziness was in the air. I woke up from my nap to see a devil cat staring at me. This wasn't just any devil cat, it was Shelly. Let me just give you a visual of her outfit. She had Darcy skip eating dinner to straighten her hair for her.  She wore a collar with a bell attached and black lipstick with heavy eye liner. Shelly wore a red shirt with black pants and she had these fluffy cat ears that were red on the inside. It reminded me of devil horns (hence the devil cat). She had fangs, a tail, and her fingernails were long enough to be claws. I'm pretty sure she even had fake eye lashes...let's just say it was a little over the top...

 

 

 

Well she decided she wanted to hand out candy to whoever came and knocked on the door. She even purchased this candy herself (so she was fully commited). After she put it all in a big bowl, Darcy and Evy announced they were going trick-or-treating. Shelly got a little jealous and decided she wanted candy too, even though she had a huge bowl full of it in her lap. So she got a plastic bag and wrote a note on it that explained the whole thing about how she was passing out candy. She even said that she was dressed as the Holy Ghost and that's why you couldn't see her. Witty right? In her mind she was like:

 

but in our minds:

 

So after the girls got back they gave her the plastic bag full of candy, but apparently there wasn't enough in there.Since she was complaining of so little candy, I explained to her that they did trick-or-treat on a college campus full of student that have no money. In my mind I was like, "Are you serious? YOU HAVE A BOWL FULL OF CANDY IN YOUR LAP. YOU HAVE A FOOT HOLDER FULL OF CANDY IN YOUR CLOSET. I WALK INTO YOUR ROOM AND SEE TWIZZLERS, M&MS, AND COTTON CANDY ON YOUR DESK AND YOU WANT MORE?! Girl please..."
