The "Friend logs," part one.

There are SO many good stories of crazy things that have gone on between my friends, as they get retold I am going to log them here so they're never lost.



Scare tactics

Months ago, one of John's oldest friends moved in with us when times got tough. I'd never had a real roommate before, and really... the sheer number of funny stories that come from living with your friends will boggle your mind.

John enjoys sneaking up on people, he's been doing it to me for as long as I've known him, and I'll tell you, I used to startle EASY. I still startle, but I'm a hell of a lot harder to sneak up on, now. (Paranoia.)

Our roommate, Eric... not so much. He's a great guy, but mildly obsessive compulsive, and he's got a bit of a temper. World of Warcraft tends to suck him in, and piss him off, because... well, the horde are universally 15-year-old pussies who like nothing more then killing you while you're minding your own business and trying to complete quests.



So John and I are watching TV, and I need to go to the bathroom, which lies past the computer room. Eric is at his desk, playing WoW, and I walk past him without a word. On my way back out, I see John, doing a military crawl to the doorway, one hand stretching out towards Eric's leg. I don't even blink, just walk past him without acknowledgment.

Eric is frowning at the game, completely in the zone... and John grabs his leg, shakes it, and starts barking like a rabid pit bull. At the time? We didn't HAVE a dog. Poor Eric shouts in near panic, his knees slam up into the tray his keyboard is sitting on, and he starts spitting curses like the girl in the Exorcist. John starts cackling, and I'm standing in the other room, giggling too. Eric looks at John, fuming, and shouts, "What the hell is WRONG with you!??"

And John, still on his belly and grinning up from the floor, without missing a beat, replies, "Impulse control problem?"

And Eric just.... stops, and sighs, and starts laughing too.

'Cause really... How can you argue that?



I love living in this house sometimes.
