About how I'm a ninja

[beebeeeater]

So I got home from teaching last night and walk in the door all "honey I'm home!" and see my neighbor at our back door (not one of my cool neighbors - this guy is nice but his wife hates me I think). H quickly explains that Neighbor is locked out. Neighbor asks if we have a stepladder so he can try to get on his roof to go in the open upstairs window - we do not. It's an apartment dude, where am I going to keep a ladder?

Having been on our roof to stargaze with H before, I start to think that maybe I can climb out our window, hop the wall that separates our roof from Neighbor's, and go in his bedroom window. Neighbor is doubtful, which of course spurs me on, but says he is willing to try anything and would be ever so grateful if it works.

So I climbed out our bedroom window and realized the connecting wall is 6 feet high. Eek! So barefoot and in my yoga clothes, I hoist myself up and sit straddling the wall, then lower myself down to the other side. Neighbor encourages me to break the screen if need be, so I punch the screen twice and then rip it off the frame (feeling very "I am Woman, Hear Me Roar" btw), hop through their window, run through their house, and let him in the back door.

Just another Monday night for your friendly neighborhood helper!

Oh and if his wife doesn't stop being a bitch to me after all that, I'll just punch through the replacement screen.

That is awesome.

Especially the last sentence.

I thought this was going to be a story about how you scared the shit out of H in the shower because you snuck up on him because that happened to me again over the weekend.

But no, you scaled a 6 foot wall! You go!

[smock]

Also, you're short. So if you scaled a 6 foot wall, that would be like me scaling a . . . 7 foot wall. Whoa.

This made me smile! It's awesome.

Your neighbor's wife will hate you even more because YOU saved the day. She's probably jealous of you already and this will just solidify her feelings.

Came here to say exactly this -- sorry!

Good thing we still love you because this bitch never will hahaha.

[margarita]

Wow! Go, you! That is awesome.

[esdreturns]

This story is awesome.

Awesome! Did you have the Mission Impossible theme music running through your head?

LOL I did not! But that would have been awesome!

You guys are right I'm sure this won't make her like me any better, which is too bad because I AM GREAT. I bring them treats and climb through their window and whatnot!

Maybe you should start climbing through their window to BRING THEM TREATS! You could be like the cookie fairy or something. Do those doughnut muffins and such.

[partiallysunny]

You can climb through my window if you are bringing treats.

[Muddled]

You can climb through my window anytime. You ARE the treat.

That's amazing. My favorite part is picturing you punching through the screen.

Yes!

[interro]

I was totally thinking you were going to scare the shit out of A by sneaking up on him upon your arrival. But no, you're a fucking ninja cat yogi!

Also, this made me legit LOL because I read it in the voice Jermaine (Flight of the Conchords) uses in the "Business Time" music video when he says "two minutes in heaven is better than ... one minute in heaven."

This is why I love BBE, she has the most awesome stories.

[maucat]

This is one of my favorite stories. You are a badass ninja!
