soup social 4alarm fire

I have been in my place for almost a year now and havent really met my neighbors, so when my upstairs neighbor, {lets call her flower like the skunk in bambi}decided to have a soup social i was pretty stoked. i met after stumbling home drunk a few weekends ago to find her kitty in the hall, his name is puma...its on his collar, anyway i hung out with kitty for a while because nobody was home and i was a little worried he might dart out the front door, she left me a little note saying thanks and a mango and later on we met in the hall. anyway she left this super cute invite to a soup social sunday night on my door, in the shape of a bowl with a spoon shaped rsvp. so j and i went up and got a chance to meet some of the folks in our building. which was great, b/c they are pretty groovy. flower (who is totally cute with streaky red curly dark hair) said we really oughtta hang out more often. so the next morning im all bleary and tired trying to get to school and the fire alarm in the building goes off. so i dress in a rush and try to get my crap together fast but spend like ten minutes searching for my hello kitty watch that i put down in a bowl of water and so the face is still all fogged up plus its set 15 minutes fast so i really gotta work to get the time oughta that thing...anyway. when i finally exited the building there were firemen in the lobby, firetrucks parked out front, and there was flower and puma and the boy next door with his overly excited tiny tiny dog and the adorable lesbian couple from the floor down one of whom is even now working on my psyche making me think that maybe the new mullet is ok. i started laughing when i realized that i couldnt even rush out of a potentially (it wasnt) on fire building. flower had a hello kitty watch too, so we did a little hello kitty powers activate after i explained thats what took my butt so long to get out. then i said, well...you did say we all oughtta hang out more often. probably on the sidewalk waiting for the firemen to give the all clear isnt what she meant.
