But the rest of my roommates... that's kind of questionable you know what I mean? How do you really know who has the best survival skills? So, the other night, Kelsi and I were practicing for our ward's talent show. We're doing the bar scene from The Three Amigos with Steve Martin and Martin Short. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5T8FJ7TldU . But honestly, that's a whole other story in itself.
So back on topic... we were practicing in our living room. It'd just gotten dark outside, and we hadn't shut the blinds yet. That means that anyone walking past our dorm could see directly into our room if they wanted. We were right in the middle of the dance number when I looked up and saw Derek emerge from the bushes outside our window and start creeping towards us. Michaela was sitting right in front of the window, facing away from it, and Kelsi was still just dancing right along... even though I'd gasped and said "Oh my gosh!" which is obviously an indicator that something's up. This didn't alert them... like at all. Whatever. I guess they just don't pay attention to me.....Dramatic sigh. So when the BANG came from Derek hitting the window, they both started screaming like they'd been shot. Kelsi spazzemed and collapsed on the floor convulsing and screaming, and after seeing that, Michaela dropped off the couch onto all fours, and started screeching and crawling as fast as she could for the door. Somehow during all the screaming and crawling, Michaela's gum fell out of her mouth and into her hair. I wish we had gotten a picture of this because the look on her face... priceless. So after they calmed down enough to assess the situation (and after I stopped laughing my butt off), we all spent the next twenty minutes picking gum out of Michaela's hair. But don't worry, we got it all out.
It wasn't until about a half hour later that I realized that their reactions could really affect my life. In dangerous situations, Kelsi falls on the ground and convulses, no longer capable of any type of movement... but Michaela... she heads for the nearest exit and far away from windows. Then, I was thinking about earlier in the day... there was this really weird noise coming from the hallway and Kelsi just ran out and started searching for it. That, my friends, is how you get killed. Then, Alex started getting concerned for her and started to go after her but I was like... heck no! You two are those people in horror films that DIE! I'm staying right here.
In conclusion... Kelsi, never my first choice. Alex... better than Kelsi, but I'd rather go alone. But Michaela... she can hide in the closet with me anytime!
