Sharpies and sticky notes

In which the scales get even

As soon as I walked into my apartment I was attacked by a pair of buttocks.

Those DEFINITELY aren't Cassandra's.

I groaned inwardly as I made my way to my room. On my way there I bumped my toe on the coffee table.

Sure. Why not bump my toe on the ONE day I'm not wearing shoes?

As I continued my journey and finally walked into my room, I couldn't help but slam the door.

'Right now what you need is some good music' my subconscious told me.

So I followed her advice and switched my speaker on to the maximum volume

"-where I've become so numb"

This is the perfect song right now.

"Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood-"

"What the fuck Cassandra? You don't turn Evanescence off , okay? You know what happens to people who turn Evanescence off? They die! You wanna die princess? Huh?" I asked my stupid and annoying but adorable roommate and best friend.

"What's up with you? Why are you acting all psycho and stomp- Where are your shoes?"

"I took them off when I got here." I lied smoothly.

"No," she said. "You weren't wearing them when you stomped through our apartment like a rhino."

First I'm compared to a gorilla, now I'm compared to a rhino. Wow, how about we all go to the zoo and compare animals and their behaviour to MY behaviour before making crazy accusations. Stupid people. Ugh!

I thought to myself as I turned away from her.

"Why are you mumbling about gorillas?" Cassie asked me.

"Cassandra, don't you have a boyfriend to do stuff with?" I asked, hoping to get rid of her.

"Just so you know," I continued when I realised she wasn't leaving "Just because you think Ryder has a cute butt, doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it as a greeting ornament."

"I wasn't doing ANYTHING with Ryder," Cassandra said, slightly guiltily. "We were......Studying."

"Cassie, that's the oldest excuse in the book, you're 24, I don't care what you do. Just don't do it where I can see it," I said "And don't do it on the couch either. I take naps there. I don't want to encounter weird things as I nap. Okay?"

"Why are we changing the subject?" Cassie asked, changing the subject "You should be telling me about your date. And why you came in here looking like a zombie? What did you and Rob do? Was it magi- Why are you home? I figured you would go home with Rob."
