Sometimes you just have to save yourself
I'll see if Kristen remembers this story.
When we were in college our senior year we lived in a pretty crappy apartment that was cold and drafty and we had a little mouse problem. The mighty Poopus was on the case and cornered a mouse in the kitchen.
K was upstairs - I think in the shower or something - and I saw the mouse, the cat and basically started to flip out. K heard me screaming and blazed downstairs in her bathrobe to see what was going on.
She screamed, I screamed the cat was like, "What?" - that's when we realized that nobody was going to do anything about the mouse and that we'd have to deal with it ourselves. Kristen tried to distract the cat. I grabbed our other roommate's winter glove and gently pried the mouse out of the cat's clutches and flung the offending mouse out the back door.
She went up to get dressed, I washed my hand about 3 million times and we never spoke of the incident again.... 'cause that's what roommates do.

I have just the faintest recollection of that incident, but I think I remember your hair looking all crazy after you threw that thing out. And I'm pretty sure you were cursing a lot. Does that sound right?
Crazy hair? That might have been you because I think you had just jumped out of the shower. But it could have been me... I think it was during my burgundy hair phase.
