How I Scared the Shit Out of Lindsey's Roommate

Well, I have a rehearsal in about an hour, but I'll try to squeeze a blog out in the 40 minutes that I have before the bus comes. Well, actually, it would probably be 30 minutes on here because I am currently in a towel, soaking wet, waiting to air-dry, on my bed. So, we'll see how far I can get with this story.

This actually occurred about a two days ago. We had cancelled a rehearsal because 3 of the 5 of us could not make it and it is really difficult to do a 5-person scene with 2 people who don't even interact in that scene with one another. Lindsey and I decided to take our friend, Celina, to her bungalow (part of the housing for our college) to show her the "scary tour". The scary tour is pretty much a bunch of really fucking creepy ass shit that is around her house that makes it seem like you could easily kill someone. It's really fucked up.

We started the tour in her living room area. It looks pretty basic, except for the fact that there is a fake fireplace in the room with FIRE written on the bricks inside the mantle. It slowly lulls you into a false sense of security, because when you start to traverse across the floor, you hear another person's footsteps following behind you and it feels like you are being watched from all areas of the room.

Our school is full of some really, really weird people.
It's freaking creepy.
We moved our tour into the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. And, aside from the toilet being located in the center of the room, there is a hidden surprise behind the door. Lindsey slowly coaxed Celina into the bathroom with a calm, "Come in! Come in! Look at our lovely bathroom... AND SEE THE NOOSE!!!" She then proceeded to slam the door shut and reveal, to Celina's shriek of enjoyment and terror, THE NOOSE!! It's actually a towel rack, if you haven't figured that out. Still looks fucking creepy as shit when you are taking a crap and the thing starts to fucking move on its own!! We then looked at a really fucking creepy ass doorknob that looked like a knife sticking outside the handle and a few air vents that seemed to harbor a demonic presence, but the creepiest part of the whole tour was the crawl space at the top of the closet! 

It looks like it's from The Grudge.
It wouldn't be too bad, since you could climb up into it if you needed to escape from a murderer, but you wouldn't be able to get away very easily, since the crawl space only goes over the kitchen and the murderer could just light the whole damn house on fire, leaving you to suffer smoke inhalation and watch your flesh burn off your body.

Actually, I lied. The creepiest thing was the damn chair! It was crammed into a corner behind the door into the kitchen from the outside and looks as if there is a ghost sitting in it, staring at you, contemplating whether to rape your soul or eat it. They moved the chair into the middle of the room, which doesn't really help with the creepiness. Now he can watch Lindsey's roommate sleep...

The skunk lives somewhere here.
Also, inside her dining room area, which was converted into a bedroom for some strange-ass reason, there is a really large window that looks at nothing but a fence and a few dead shrubs. I think a skunk lives somewhere under those. All I know is that there is a skunk that lives in the bungalows.

The window from the kitchen.
Another really creepy part would have to be how anybody can look into her apartment. All the windows are able to be looked through from anyone walking past her apartment and anyone with a habit or fetish for spying on a group of teenage actresses. Also, from the kitchen window, you can look into the neighbor's bathroom, which has been quite an adventure on its own. The first night I had been over to her bungalow for a rehearsal, Lindsey was walking into her kitchen, then stopped abruptly with this horrified expression on her face. We asked her what was wrong and she responded with, "There is a naked man outside our window". Of course, being a bunch of fucking weirdos, the rest of us ran into the kitchen and saw a naked man washing himself in the bathroom in the apartment next door. He looked over and saw us. We waved. He smiled and waved back. He was a very nice gentleman.

Now onto the story about how I scared Lindsey's roommate. After a good few minutes of making animal noises in the bathroom, ranging from monkey to dolphin, and also locking Celina and Lindsey outside of the bungalow, we decided to play a prank on her roommate. It was actually a last minute decision when Lindsey screamed through the door, "MY ROOMMATE IS COMING!! PRETEND TO BE AN OWL!!!". I unlocked the door and ran through the living room and into the kitchen and slammed into the door, which is locked with a chain, knob lock, and dead bolt. I was frantically trying to pry open the door without letting her roommate hear or see me. Lindsey was able to distract her enough for me to get through the door and hide in the back alley by the giant window. I stood
The living room area and "bedroom".
by the window waiting for Lindsey's roommate to open the curtains, but she never sat down on her bed. I proceeded to text Lindsey that I was waiting outside the window. She went and opened the curtains, allowing  her roommate to only get a brief glimpse of me in my gray hoodie before I ducked down and disappeared from view. Her roommate started to freak the fuck out! I ran back through the kitchen and hid in the creepy chair corner and left the door open to make it appear that someone broke in and she circled the house to look for me. When she saw the open door, she was in a complete panic! She tore through the kitchen and didn't notice me standing in the corner and ran to Lindsey. Lindsey came to the door and saw me, laughing my ass off and almost crying. Lindsey is such a great actress and played that she had no idea what was going on. I heard her roommate approaching the door again and I jumped out, screaming. Due to some strange knowledge, she figured that pushing on nothing but air would get me to go away, but it just caused her to scream bloody murder and fall on her ass in the kitchen. She was almost crying from being scared so badly. It was the greatest thing ever!

Lindsey is freaking hilarious! She is one of the funniest people I know. She is a blast to have in improvisation class. She once performed in a scene which she had no bones and when she was poked, she fell over and said, "This is harassment... This is sexual harassment...". And, in another scene, she was creating a new cologne for men and named it, 'SWAGGAH', so that you can reapply your swagger every day.

Our wonderful Lindsey!!
She's sexy too!!

OW OW!!! Hottie!!
You might have seen her on TV. She's been on Big Time Rush!
