It takes a special kind of moron to lock him or herself out on his/her apartment balcony twice in the space of a few weeks. A moron like me.

Well, not just me. It was a team effort -- Annie was there for both incidents, but at least she was drunk the first time when she was the one who slammed the door. Tonight it was me, stone-cold sober, who shut the door behind us with a flourish swiftly followed by open-mouthed horror when I realized that none of my keys worked in the locked door. Horror!

Blessedly, Jen came back after we'd been out there only an hour or so, and we did have NSYNC to discuss and Diet Coke to drink, so it was ok. Mind you, my can of Diet Coke was my third or fourth of the night, so there was some concern over potential bodily function emergencies, but Jen returned in time. (Thank God)

But really! How does one person DO such a thing?? I shouldn't be allowed out of the house without careful supervision. The balcony isn't even safe from the idiocy of Jessica! There is no safe haven from my moronicness!

Look at that! Moronicness. I don't even think that's a word!

Speaking of moronicness, it's a good thing I'm graduating and, therefore, my sessions tutoring the professor from China are almost over since she's getting to areas of English I don't fully understand and therefore can't come close to explaining. How does one use the subjunctive? I don't even know what the subjunctive is! Why do some words have articles and some don't? No idea! I'm helpful with simple things, like when she comes in and asks me about the big white fabric building in front of the library ("tent"), but beyond that? Not so much.

I'l laughing with you, not at you. I swear. ;-)

Jess, you always make me smile, and in my book that makes you anything but a moron. You're terrific.

Hugs,
N.

One time, I locked myself on my patio, but my front door was unlocked because I was going back and forth to the laundry room, and in fact was hanging some "hang to dry" items on my patio at the time. So, I tried climbing my patio fence, but I got half way over and got stuck, and I think on of my pockets got hung up on something. Fortunately, I'd only been left hanging for a minute or so when my friend Josh happened by and went in through my front door and rescued me. Jebus, I was embarrassed.

oh God! That must have been so scary to have been stuck hanging there! I'm glad your friend rescued you so quickly.

Don't feel too bad. I have done that with my house, with my car. The special thing about locking my keys in my car is that it has one of those small ID holders attached to it...if I lock my keys in my car I have no ID and no money. That's actually how I figured out my keys were still in there. I was at the movie theatre that gives student discounts and realized I didn't have my student ID or my money. So, not only did we miss the show we had planned to see...we got to sit outside while movie-goers snickered. Snickers are all very well...but someone could have lended us a coat hanger!

Oh no! I have an ID card holder thing just like that and have horrible fears over losing it like that! I'm going to be even more conscious of not misplacing it from now on.
