• Chapter 4, Revenge: Sorry for any Inconvienence, the Management.

  I take complete and total credit for coming up with the idea of our revenge against S Hall 6th Floor. Other people may have carried it out, in fact I was asleep when it happened, but I take total credit for sugesting that we steal their shower curtains.

  Two in the morning I get a phone call that wakes me up Sunday Morning. It is Lisa. "Where are they?," she demands.
  "Where are what?"
  "Very funny; where are they?"
  "Do you know what time it is? I don't know what you're . . . . OHHHH!"
  "I just chased some girls who stole our shower curtains and then gave them to Mark and Mike, and now I want them back."

  It was great. Actually the greatest thing was that because Lisa caught them, the girls were only able to steal the curtains from one bathroom. Mark comes into the room and tells me this. Lisa had gotten some people up, and Mark signals that I should keep them on the phone while the other girls sneak back and steal the curtains from the other bathroom. So I keep talking, and the girls just walk in and walk out with the curtains in hand. It was great! They even had time to hang up signs that said,

  "Curtains have been removed for deep cleaning do to mildew. Sorry for any inconvience, the management"

  And when all the girls (the whole floor) got up to go to Church with us at 9 (that floor is one of the 4 in our ward), some of the girls believed the sign! It was awesome. Word quickly spread, however, and soon their RA, Kristen, was calling us at 7 AM. Boy was she mad. Really really mad- like that's the understatement of the year mad. She is slightly protective of her girls, let me tell you.

  Chapter 5, Restitution: Returning that which was lost.

  Since Kristen was so mad, we gave the curtains back. The first one we hung over her door during visiting hours while they were going to Ward prayer. It was funny.

  Then we hustled to ward prayer where James gave the spiritual thought. He read this really long passage of scripture about gaining humility by forgiving those who have wronged you. Then he had an object lesson. He held up the curtain rod and talked about holding to the iron rod. Then he talked about raising the bar. Then he hung up the curtain and talked about the veil of forgetfulness, and then about being showered with blessings, and being cleansed of sin. It was awesome. And the whole time I though Kristen was going to kill someone.

  Chapter 6, Divine Punishment: Monday's Suffering.

  So Monday I somehow ended up really behind and swamped in school work. And then I forgot that I had to go to this greek play, and it was really terrible. I wanted to suck my eye balls out of their sockets. It was sad. And then I got really really sick and it hurt. I took 4 tylenol at once so that I could go to sleep, and then today I missed two of my classes. This is what I get for my evil genius.

  epilogue:

  So at 7:30 there was a fire drill. We all poured out into the parking lot and signed in. It was over by 8 and we all came back to the hall at the same time. I got on the elevator, and then 25 more people got on the elevator after me. 26 people definately beats our record of 21, but 26 people is a lot of people. We were crammed shoulder to shoulder (one of those, er, uncomfortable moments when you are touching so many people and have no control over it), and before anyone could get out, we got stuck. So well we pushed the call button (did you know that calls 9-1-1?) and talked to a nice police woman (who laughed, and then chastised us), and then we forced open one of the doors, only to find out we weren't on a floor. So the first floor doors are above us- filling the top third of the elevator. James and Rodney try to open those doors, and eventually open them a crack. Now this crack is just large enough for Sis. Carter, the "Hall Mom," to fit her video camera in. So she tapes the whole thing as guys inside and out try to force the doors open. Eventually the whole thing just dropped. It was awesome! Free falling with 25 other guys! Then suddenly bang- we hit rock bottom and were below the basement. lol. It was really funny. Eventually we forced the basement doors (also above us) open where Sis. Carter was waiting with the video camera. Glad she has a sense of humor- she was laughing so hard.

  And that's all for now, Unless you want to read the next post:
