Small Balls of FIRE!

Being a college student has its benefits. You can choose when to have your own classes. You watch announcements closely for free dinners and stuff, but most of all you throw the most awesome parties ever.

I went to one of these parties last night. Here's what happened.

So Mandi's friend, Jacob, invited Chris, Mike and I to his party last night to play Mario Kart to our little hearts content. so we go over to his place, and walk in to see three of his roommates cooking something on the stove. It smells terrible, so we ask them what they're making and they say, "smoke bomb."

A little stunned, we go downstairs and ask Jacob, who repeats that they were making a bomb. so we shrugged it off, thinking no big deal (such a college student) and start playing Nintendo. Well, we then hear a whooshing sound from upstairs and see light flickering off the wall. next thing we know, the guys from upstairs are yelling at us to get out of the house and we all run upstairs.

The had set the kitchen on fire. I could barely see through all the smoke, but I was able to make out a little patch of fire on the floor and a lot of heat on my face. I, as well as everyone else, got outside okay. We were a bit shaken up but then we all started exclaiming how awesome and intense that was. Sure, we could of died, but nothing like ending the party with a bang!

It being a smoke bomb, the fire died down quickly, but their neighbor whipped out a fire extinguisher and put the rest of it out. The police and fire department showed up and sucked out all the smoke and hosed down the place. After an hour we were allowed to go inside.

Man, that kitchen was toasted. Everything was singed, the microwave was melted, and a lot of the cupboards were scorched. Funnily enough, none of Jacob's food was touched. But, the kids just got off with a warning, and one of the boys' parents actually own the house so they don't have to worry about angry landlords; just angry neighbors. But, it was awesome.

We played super smash brothers after that, and I got to finish my cactus cooler. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it from all the smoke and ash, but the fire and smoke stayed in the kitchen so it was still good. Ha ha! I was in my first fire and it was started by a bomb. Oh, it was awesome.

And tonight, SUU is doing a showing of Harry Potter 7 and so Chris, Mike, and a bunch of other friends are going to go see it. It's turning out to be an awesome week! I wonder what will happen next week. So, yup. That's all folks! Until next time, stay tuned!
