Funny story

I scared the crap out of Lindsay last night. I had been at the library studying for finals and came home about 30 minutes earlier than she was expecting me. When I opened the door to walk in our apartment I heard the water running and the radio playing (she was doing the dishes). I closed the door quietly and snuck up the stairs and hid around the corner from the kitchen. I could hear her singing along to the song and she had no idea I was home. My plan was to wait until she left the kitchen at which point I would jump out and scare her to death. I waited about five minutes and decided to call our home phone (which was about 2 feet from me on the other side of the wall). I dialed and let it ring once, and when she walked to the phone to answer it I jumped out and yelled at her. She jumped about 5 feet in the air, arms flailing, and she was screaming like a little girl. She kind of collapsed on the ground and was laughing, but I scared her so bad she was shaking for about 5 minutes. I was laughing about it the rest of the night.

russin would kill me and send me out to the doghouse, (literally)if I scared her like that. I chased her once to tickle her and i will never do that again after she banged me in the noggin with a baseball bat, or yelled and stuff, i can't remember which but it seemed like a bat.....

Okay. I've patiently waited for a full month now, because I know you were moving to Vegas. But, this is getting ridiculous. I think we should all start chanting:
