Fire, fire, fire!

It is now about 11:30 pm, my hair is wet, my shoes are on but not tied, and I just got back inside. And, oh yes, I also reek of smoke. Thank you, retarded Assumption residents, for microwaving your popcorn for 5 minutes. -ahem- YOU CANNOT MICROWAVE ANYTHING FOR 5 MINUTES; IT BURSTS INTO FLAMES!!!!

So, yes, as you may have deduced, we had a little fire scare tonight. About an hour ago, Jamie and I were sitting here, enjoying our night, when suddenly the obnoxious buzzing of the fire alarm started. "You gotta be kidding me, now is not the time for a fire drill!" I thought, in my pjs and freshly out of the shower. -sniff, sniff- -sounds of panic in the hall- Ok, so maybe its not a drill... In that case, we have to save stuff! So I was hopping around like an idiot, screaming that I needed real pants, and Jamie was debating whether or not to save her computer. In the end, though, we decided that they probably wouldn't appreciate us carting our stuff out. So off we went...

Upon opening the door, we immediately started gagging from the smoke. OMG, a real fire!!! And ran extra fast down the steps and out of the building. There is where we learned it was a rogue bag of popcorn, not the end of the world fire that we were thinking. But seriously, that was a lot of smoke for just one bag of popcorn! And I'm sure that's what the poor firemen thought too, so they had to check and make sure that's what it was... and that everyone evacuated. And finally, my favorite part, after standing outside for an hour, the RAs inform us that we all have to enter through the front and show our IDs. Most people do not have their IDs since HELLO?!?!?! If you can only save one thing in a fire, I'm pretty sure your school ID is not on the top of that list. Hmm, treasured memories/valuables or my ID... which to choose, which to choose?

Luckily, we are now safe and sound... and a little smelly... in our room. The hallway is still a little hazy and it completely reeks. But, hey, at least we don't live in Towers.. we'd still be sitting out there.
