[there's a Paxil Rose joke to be made here]

Now on my list of dumbest things I've ever done: Locking my keys in my apartment while carrying only a cell phone with one bar left of battery. Not just any apartment, no - I've done that before and been able to do the credit card trick. But this apartment? Where I currently live? Impossible. That and my locks seem to be made of Satan. On the upside, at least so long as I lock my doors, I'll never need to worry about people breaking in. On the downside, I locked myself out approximately 14 hours ago. I already had my bitchfest of details once to Jett and will likely do a repeat performance when I talk to my mom later, so I'll spare you. I will tell you, though, that parting with $242.71 has never been so. infuriatingly. stupid. ...And as soon as the locksmith leaves, I get to sweep the pieces and dust of door and doorknob. And my broom is still in storage.

I consider this all a sign.

...But thank goodness for friends who let me sleep on their couch and color in their coloring books.
