Can I have my deposit back now?
Well last night was one of "those" nights. I should have climbed into bed and rested, as soon as I got home. Instead I took some medicine and layed on the couch and then around 8:pm I was hungry for some dinner. So I went into my sweet little kitchen and fixed me a bean and cheese burrito from scratch, in a round about way, not like my mother would fix something from scratch, mash her own beans, milk the cow make cheese and then grate it. No I opened the can of refried beans, bought a package of shredded cheese, and plopped those onto a tortilla shell. The EVIL tortilla shell packaging had this recipe on the back to deep fry strips of the shell then add sugar and cinnamon for a tasty treat. I said "Ooh, sounds good I will try that sometime." After I ate, I decided now was a good as time as any to try those EVIL treats! I went into my sweet little kitchen placed some oil in the pan turned the stove on and started to mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, when I turned around, the pan was on fire!! So I immediatly think of the fire extinguisher at my cousins apartment, not helpful, I think about adding baking powder/soda, not sure which one, grab the fire engulfed pan and put it over the sink, I didn't want to set it in the sink, fear of ruining the ceramic sink, and instead, now here is the worst part, first the voice in my head knew what I was about to do, and told me not to, but I did it anyway. I know, I know, you never ever put water into hot oil that is on fire!! But I did. Then I dropped the pan into the sink, and the flame shot up out of the sink and up over the cabinets. In this fearsome firey roll, with black smoke, the effects were so real. Unfortunately they were real. I then went to grab a towel to smother the flame, but before I could, (and while this is happening I can hear it now, the sirens people screaming at me) the fire went out. Just like that. Nothing damaged but a lot of dark smoke, so I ran and pulled the fire alarm off of the wall and removed the battery. It only beeped twice before I shut the thing off. I figured there was no need to alarm neighbors if there was no real reason. Then I opened my door and my window and hoped for the best. It took me an hour to clean the smoke residue off of the ceiling and walls. There is still proof of my mistake. A very bad and stupid, but somehow amusing mistake. As I was scrubbing walls and inhaling pine-sol, I was laughing and thinking, I wonder if I will get my deposit?

Ha ha!! Teach angry neighbors a lesson!
I am going to buy a fire extinguisher this weekend, and some paint. Just another day in my crazy world.
Breaking of glass might get some unwanted attention. I think I would panic if I saw someone breaking glass to get to the extinguisher.
Well Vin fans are not angry people, and we watch out for each other, I know that is what Vin would want us to do.
Hear hear. Vin is a nice man, and his biceps are nice biceps.
