Adventures with fire extinguishers

Every once in awhile, in the midst of my predictable life, something crazy happens to shake things up a bit. Tonight, one of those things happened. We were all at home enjoying some peace and quite--a typical Sunday evening--when a knock came at our door. When my roommate opened the door, she was greeted by a cloud of powder. It smelled and tasted like baking soda--and it burned as we breathed it in. I turns out, one of the guys next door thought it would be funny to get us with his fire extinguisher. Our stairs and our livin room had quite the dusting of white powder. I just now realized how stupid I was for not getting pictures--but this is not the end...there will be paybacks.

On a side note--we had our first snow of the season yesterday--lasting through today. So far its staying off the ground, but winter is in the air.


Dang it.

I have you beat. It started snowing here Thursday night and has been snowing ever since, with a few short breaks. Andit's been sticking since day 1. Side note, once you use a fire extinguisher, it's no good anymore, like if you need it in a fire. Just a bit of information you might like to have when considering paybacks.

Those are the things that make college ROCK... remember the nice little "prank" the Elders left us in BG? Too bad we never got to pay them back... We had our first snow yesterday... Dang it.

As I read the heading, I was expecting a dorm fire or something... does that white stuff stain?
