The Great Scare

So, picture this.
I am driving from Kathy's house after a great day of hanging out.
Enjoying each other's company and KFC.
Just as I'm about 6 to 7 minutes from my house, it starts pouring.
Very, very hard.
I can't see two inches in front of me.
I slow down to 10 mph.
I'm concentrating so hard on the road that I don't hear my phone ring.
Did I mention the car was excruciatingly low in gasoline?
So, when I stop at the light, I see around 15 missed calls.
I try calling back my dad and my phone dies.
No biggie, I'm only three blocks away.
Right?
Wrong.
I go inside my house and quickly turn off the alarm, which seems to be a little weird.
Whatever, maybe it was because I took too long turning it off.
I run to the kitchen and look for the house phone.
I didn't mind that the lights were off.
I'm not scared of the dark.
So, I dial and as I wait for my dad to pick up, I turn on one light.
Suddenly, my dad picks up.
He starts screaming at me telling me "how dare you not answer?"
I'm thinking calm down and really not paying attention, when he says "the alarm company called, the alarm went off, there might be someone in the house".
At this moment, I'm already outside the front door.
I'm freaking out.
I start screaming to the phone.
My mom takes charge.
She tells me, "it might be nothing, stay in the car".
Don't they understand I've already gone into the house?
That the car is locked?
That I have nowhere to go?
What am I to do?
WHAT AM I TO DO?
I tell her "I'm outside, its raining, the car is locked, I'm talking thru the house phone".
She tells me to go to the neighbors.
But they're not there.
What am I to do?
She says "run to the car!"
So I do that.
I try a door.
Locked.
I try the second door.
YES!
Success.
I am still crying.
But now, I'm not wet.
And safe.
Yes.
She tells that they are far.
They will be right here.
I hang up but I'm still crying.
Who can I call?
My friends are gone.
I can't call anyone.
So, I wait.
I wait and I calm down.
By the time, they get to the house.
I'm OK.
It was just a false alarm.
Thank God.

Imagine having a dance party with several people all in different locations over a computer video chat

recipe fo' success

this is my favorite dish that i can make (keep in mind, i can't cook very many things)!
i've always called it winter food...it just make sense.
you can use the Campbell's soup cans or substitute them with real cream of mushroom soup and noodles and mixed vegetables,,,,,but that takes too long when you're hungry
i don't have measurements or anything, use intuition ;]

ingredients:
-ground beef
-potatoes, preferably peeled
-1 can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup (1 can per 7 potatoes)
-1 can of Campbell's vegetarian alphabet soup (1 can per pound, or something like that)

LITERALLY the meat and potatoes part of recipe:
1. boil the potatoes, peel them, cut them into horizontal slices so they look like big ovals--not fries.
2. put the slices of potatoes into a baking pan, making sure each slice does not cover another, but are not very spaced apart
3. in a separate pot, pour the cream of mushroom soup in. add two cups of h2o, rendering the "soup" thicker than a liquid texture. pour the cream of mushroom over the sliced potatoes in the baking pan
4. in another baking pan, mix the ground beef and vegetarian alphabet soup. the soup will act as a seasoning for the meat, plus it'll add tasty vegetables and crunchy noodles. spread evenly in the pan as this will bake.
5. you probly should've preheated the oven at some point, but its too late now. turn the oven to 350degrees, wait til it preheats, then stick errything in there. cooking time varies by oven by should be 15 to 25 minutes. so check up on it! the potatoes/cream of shroom should look golden-esque on some parts, but not all over and the meat should look a nice shade of cooked brown and it might even look a little dry, but its not, its just cooked.
5. enjoy! with sky juice (ahem, water)
