As usual, I spent my Friday night "out on the town" with my girlfriend and about 10 of my buddies and their girlfriends. My buddies apartment was closest to where we ended up, so we all decided to crash at his place. We are walking up to the stairs of his apartment at 2:45 in the morning when my cell phone rings. It's my Mom. After going to a few parties, I was in no shape to be talking to my Mother, so I decided to let it go to my voicemail. I listened to it right after she sent it. "JOEY, YOU NEED TO CALL ME BACK. YOU HAVE A SLIGHT PROBLEM!" I'm thinking "Oh christ, what does she want?" I have the typical over-reactive Italian mother so I could only imagine. I thought she broke a fingernail or something.
I call her back to find out that my dorm room caught on fire...?
Me and a few others (those who haven't already passed out) walk back to my room to see what's up....
As a side note, I applied for a single dorm room in the housing papers I filled out this summer. I didn't get it for whatever reason and went into the "random-pick"-pool and ended up with the biggest IDIOT for a roommate that anyone could imagine. When I first met the kid, he didn't even introduce himself to me before he asked me "got any pot?"
With that said, I go back to my room to find 3 inches of water on the floor and my bed almost completely burnt to nothing, a melted TV and about 300 bucks of burnt clothes. After smelling pot in the room, they (cops and firefighters) searched the entire room (mine and his belongings) to find all kinds of drugs in his drawers and possessions that he denies. They asked if I would take a drug test to completely dismiss me as the cause of the fire, and would in a way "grandfather" me away from being charged with drug possession. I agreed completely and took the test. Everything is cool.
The POLICE helped me move all my stuff into my new room (!!), by myself (!!), at 4 AM this morning. We finished at about 6:30 this morning. When I was walking out to get the last bit out of his car, he asked me with a smile on his face "so, where was the party tonight?" I stood there for about 10 seconds in disbelief and shock. I basically looked like a slobbering idiot. He was very cool.
Aftering waking up at about 8 PM today, having nothing to do, and feeling quite energized, I'm sitting here reflecting, thinking, "WHAT IN THE HELL?!" Why me? LOL
I guess I have no real point in this thread. Just me thinking out loud...

I don't know what's coming now. He failed to take the drug test too.
