Chronicles of a True Story: Chapter One: Drained

Log start: 12:18 am March 18th 2009

Chronicles of a True Story: Series of short stories written by myself that are too dramatic for regular blog entries. These stories are recorded using the best memory of the situation that i remember and contain little to no exaggeration and should actually be classified as non-fiction.

Drained. How am i drained? Lets start from the 12th of March, 2009. Where all of this just began....
On the night of March 12th, i was the only one up in the suite. As it was a thursday where i didn't actually pull out my alcohol, i took this quality time to watch dramas and play video games well into the AM hours.

5am: Fire alarms ring.

My first reaction is the reaction that i make everytime there is a fire alarm; "Fuck, i'm going to kill the fucking idiot that pulled the god damned fucking fire alarm."
And trust me, this would be much worse if i was sleeping.
My roomate Jose was first to awaken from his sleep, then came alex and joe in the C room.
We were all exchanging looks that were saying "fuck these night time fire alarms"

Wouldn't any college student be outraged? At 5am, you're either well into your sleep for friday classes or you're pissed out of your mind from the amount of alcohol that you've injested into your body.

Usual procedures, hoodie, flippyfloppies, cell phone, out the door for 10 mins while the RHD and RAs randomly check for an unsuspected idiot that decided to sleep through the alarm and refuses to go outside.

But as we head for the staircases, there was somthing unusual about the air, it smelt burnt but only mildly. someone already heading down the stairs blamed it on some niccotine addict smoking on the way out so i thought nothing more of it and went outside for the usual "let me back in to sleep now before i eat your babies" standing next to the pond procedure.

10 minutes passed, i'm cold in my shorts and i start complaining.
20 minutes passed, i'm still cold and others around me are starting to curse Larry out. (i know it's not always the RHDs fault but we need someone to blame, right?)
30 minutes passed, we are finally allowed to re-enter our nice and toasty rooms.

As everyone gets back into bed and i start my dramas after a 30 minute pause, the RAs started to knock on our doors.
"THIS IS YOUR RA!! COME DOWN TO THE LOUNGE FOR A MEETING!! NOW!!"

It's never happened to us before and i thought that some drunk idiot pulled the alarm and then larry is going to yell at us about it in the middle of the night. I woke my suitemates up and they grumply trolled down to the lounge where we met more friends with the hair messed up and people sleeping next to each other hoping that this meeting will end fast so we can go back to our miserable lives which have been interrupted twice this night.

The RAs and Larry(our RHD if you didn't catch on by now) rushed us all inside and i tried to rest my eyes under our ping pong table while larry rambles off on fire safety and how people could of gotten hurt or died.

But this wasn't the case either! as most of Mount College's 230 people came in, i had to relocate myself next to an open window that i didn't bother to close.
With cold wind blowing up my asian-hairless-legs, i wished for whatever announcement to commence and hoped that it finished before i lose all of my family jewels to global climate change.

The rush of people stopped and Larry enters.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? SOME IDIOT JUST ALMOST GOT US ALL KILLED! TELL ME! TELL ME WHICH FUCKING IDIOT BLEW UP THE OVEN. TELL ME NOW!"

At that point 200+ people stuffed into Mount's small lounge bolted up and exchanged looks of shock and confusion. Everyone was quiet and larry continued rambling about how he would have that person in jail for commiting a serious crime.

I'd actually have to agree with larry on this one. I already think that whichever smart ass pulls the fire alarm should get butt raped in jail a few times so he'll learn his lesson but blowing our ONLY kitchen up??? Larry was pissed.

The meeting lasted for about 15 minutes, mainly in silence so that Larry can use his super sekret skillzs to detect the loser.
Nothing came up and he wanted someone to send him information on who did it.

We we all allowed back into our rooms and the night resumed. People went back to sleep, people went back to party, and people (me included) went back to drama/games.

7am: I know my limits (err.. maybe not...) and i went to bed.
10am: Fire alarm rings.

At this point i should of been starting on my main REM cycle. my suitemates were still sleeping and this time i was the one that cursed the loudest.
We assumed positions outside and we were allowed to go back in after 10 minutes.

I assumed that it was a drill so everyone cursed larry and either went back to sleep or off to class.

Approx. 2pm: Fire alarm rings again.
Suitemates... still sleeping... lol....
Positions -> 10 mins -> re-enter -> back to sleep

In my mind right now, i'm saying to myself, i'll start caring as soon as i wake up, i promise. Then i'll go on an idiot hunt and keep an eye out for the fucking douchebag whos been waking us up.

5pm: I originally decided to go home this weekend to do some stuff but i haven't had a good nights sleep so i decided to sleep just to wake up now.

Friday night -> shabu shabu + pool w/ cancelled plans to kalivia (asian bar)
Saturday -> Pool -> buns from bakery -> attack james' house
Saturday night -> dinner with the family and then starting my journey back to Stony Brook at 1am.

Sunday was a pretty normal Mount A34 day, sleep til the sun sets and then wake up to do our usual video gaming ritual. Good thing there were no fire alarms today. But eventually i jinxed myself.

Monday Morning: ring ring ring.
Monday afternoon: ring ring ring.

I don't know why these alarms are ringing but i hope that someone will stop playing a joke on us, i think we've broken our semesters quota for standing outside due to a fire alarm.

By this time, the whole building consists of angry college students united towards one common goal which is to locate the jackass who's been pulling the fire alarm and kicking his ass before handing the person over to larry.

We're all used to the fire alarms by now. In my mind i just have to treat it like a drunk stupid freshman prank who'll be like "OMG OMG I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN IT PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TO JAIL, MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME" when he gets caught.
These people NEED to get caught so that they stop putting the residents of this building in danger and so we don't hate him to waking people up from their precious sleep.

Tuesday, March 17th 2008.
Today is the day where i have 5x80min classes. I went to all my classes today, yay! I almost didn't go to Poli Sci 103 but i'm glad i went today, we had a quiz, hahaha.

Well, on my way to POL103 from CAR110, i met Lucy who told me that we had a fire drill at 10am today. For no reason related to this story at all, i would like to provide the fact that Lucy is short. LOL, SORRY XD

Not surprised at the fact, i went to class predicting that we'd have at least 1 or 2 alarms later on tonight.
To my prediction, at 11pm tonight, a fire alarm went off. Usual procedure, and when we went outside, i encountered this guy who told me "uh oh, hide your beers yet?"
this is a drunk soph talking to me to hide my beer. i ignored him and went downstairs. outside i overheard people who live in the A wing (my wing) who said that they just had a meeting with larry and saw the idiot who ran out after pulling the fire alarm and said that they'd be outside for at least 30 mins.

So 2 of my suitemates and i went to Roth Food Court to see what was good. Okay, so we went back after Joe got a cup of ORGANIC watery strawberry bubble tea. (By the way, don't trust white people to make your bubble tea, you'll do well remembering my words)

So we went back up and to our surprise, it was Larry accompanied by an RA, 2 fire marshals and a police officer.
Remembering that the A room was tampering with their fire alarm so that it wouldn't ring so that they could sleep through the alarm, i thought that it was them that set the alarm off. I went back into my room.

Larry then approaches me (in normal larry form, not being mean) and asks me if this is my room. Thinking that it was some standard procedure, i said yes, this is my room. Then he asked me which side of the room i lived on, i pointed to my side and he asked me if this is my closet.

As soon as he asked me this i knew what was going to happen, but i was a little bit prepared for it so i put on a normal face and said, yes, this is my closet. and then he answered "Do you know about the building alcohol policy? you have more than a 6 pack of beer"

I looked at him sort of amazing (while wearing my FRANCIS LEWIS '09 SWIMMING hoodie (thank you James, almost got my ass handed to me)

I answered, yes, i know about the policies. and he took down my name and ID and told me to pour all the alcohol out.

My liver was yelling at me and crying at the same time, but there is a LITTLE happy news, almost all of my alcohol was done besides the Gin, which i only slightly enjoy.
While i was being DRAINED of my alcohol, i thought back at the words the drunk people gave me, "Did you hide your beer?"
I thought to myself, but my alcohol was in my closet... hmmmm...
but there was one major event that led to detection... the A room tampering with their fire alarm signaling that the fire was coming from their room.
I know that they weren't smoking or doing stupid shit with fire in their room, they wanted a quiet fire alarm.

And i blame them 100%. If you A room guys are somehow reading this, you guys are far beyond redemption, sorry. I hate you guys now. I'll say "Hi" when i see you guys, but i won't mean it.
For your stupidity, we got written up for things like alcohol(i got drained of it...) and Alex got written up for the microwave and a rice cooker. I know you guys use the microwave, so don't even play this shit.

I'm not going to curse you guys out, because that'll mean i forgive you. So i'll just keep on a straight face and hate your guts forever. Simple.

One stupid mistake led to the whole suite to get in trouble.

I never thought i'd see that day that i wished i took a drunk guys advice... never thought i'd see the day...

HakoneDayDreamer, you guys will get it one day.
