First things first, this happened. For real. (You may have seen the documentation on Facebook, in which case you may skip this section and continue reading below. If you did not see the documentation, well, get ready!) It was a warm spring day and I was sitting on the toilet in the privacy of my own home, and dare I say enjoying a light breeze that was coming through the window, when all of the sudden a spring shot out of my sink and whacked me in the face. Weird, I thought. And also super gross. Then the sink started filling up with black "water." As the spring grew longer and longer, so did my fright. But just as I was about to really freak the f*ck out (That asterisk is for you, Grammy. I apologize for the foul innuendo.), the spring slithered back into the sink. So weird, but what are you supposed to do? At least it was over. Nope. I heard some more raucous in the bathroom, so I went to scope it out. I opened the door to this: Yes, that is my shower curtain being sucked down the drain. At this point, I really started freaking out. I was banging on the wall and yelling stop to who knows who. Anyone who would listen, I guess. No one listened. So I ran down the stairs and banged on the landlords door. Nothing. And on the neighbor's door below me. Nothing. And on my next door neighbor's door. Nothing. I ran back into my apartment and helplessly watched the curtain rip one ring at a time off the curtain rod and plunge further and further into the sink. So I ran back over to my next door neighbor and furiously knocked on the door, yelling for them to please stop. FINALLY someone answered the door, and I told them to come look at what they were doing. This person did not speak english, and unfortunately my spanish is lacking in the plumbing vocabulary department. So he kinda just hung out in my apartment for a while and fiddled with spring of death. But alas, it all worked out, and now I just have a dirty torn up shower curtain to show for it. *For a real treat, you can check out the sketchy video on my instagram. In other news, I just got back from a wonderful trip to Utah, where I was able to attend my cousin's wedding and a family reunion. I also got to catch up with the loveliest of friends. It was much needed. Somehow, I only managed to take one photo of the trip? And I also chopped 12 inches off my hair!
