  • To make a goat faint open an umbrella

    The note taped to the front door

    Well I'm back in LA. My hotel is awesome! I love it. I'm coming back here again for Emmys. I had to start right in with interviews so I didn't have time to check in. Summer got here and then our first model was there so we had to start. We didn't finish before Jordyn and her boyfriend Rick got there. Interviews were great and we got a lot of new models that are smart and thankfully they all passed the insane test. It's sad that we even need to have one of those but after that Sundance disaster we can't be too careful. When all the interviews were over I was just sitting there talking with Jordyn and Summer and saying how I come up with these stupid ideas when I'm tired and people actually do them so it causes a bunch of trouble. Jordyn asked for an example and since we had just been talking about tbl (because I have to meet with their people tomorrow) I threw out a random dumb idea that I would come up with and people would do. That was a dumb idea in itself lol Right after I said it everyone was silent for a while and then all of a sudden they were like "YEAH, we should" (do unmentionable thing) and I was like oh crap. I have only been here a few hours and look what I started. I'm always up for an adventure so I went with it. I don't mind doing crazy things as long as they aren't mean spirited, malicious, destructive, or anything like that. If people are going to get their feelings hurt I'm out. I really should make a new rule that if it's illegal I should rule it out but depending on what rules I am breaking that doesn't always factor in on the "should I do this or not" scale.

     

    So we hatch this crazy plan that sounds so dumb you would think it would only happen in a movie. I'm not going to tell you what the plan was because 1. I don't know if I should admit we considered it and 2. I don't want anyone else following in my naughty little footsteps! Our plan required some research so I went to my go-to source Google. It's so amazing what you can find on there if you know how to manipulate the site right. So anyway, we do a little research and check out the location of the mischeif site. We narrowed it down to where we thought we would need to be for this thing to take place. Jordyn had to look at a house right in the area so it worked out even better. Me and Summer split up for a few hours because I had a meeting with my boss to get done and she had some stuff she had to do.

    Later that night we met up to execute our plan. We drove over to the guys house and did a quick survey of the area so we would know what we were working with. We spent the first little bit trying to find a decent hiding spot and waving around peanut butter granola bars (long story). The blinds and windows were open in the entire house so that made it even harder. The set up for getting to the front door is not ideal at all since there was a car in the way and bushes that can trip you and the porch steps going down a narrow path plus a big open window that you have to walk right past... it was like fort knox! While we were scouting around for hiding places we got a parking ticket  I guess that's Karma for us sneaking around.

    It was dark and getting more and more sketchy by the minute. First we noticed bums while we were hiding. They would run out of the shadows, start digging through people's garbage cans and then dart bck into the shadows again. It was creeping us out. They were like garbage zombies! We knew we had to finish what we started and get out of there quick. So we wrote out our clues for our scavenger hunt and planned where they were going to go. Then we had to sneak back one last time. We took turns watching each other's back (because if someone happened to walk into the living room they would have totally seen and heard us out there) while we set up the clues. We had to avoid the car alarm and hop around on rocks to tape a clue to the rearview. The whole time we were trying not to touch the car at all because we didn't want to set it off. I almost fell off a rock onto the car. It was a close one! Then the other two notes had to go closer to the house. We took the present and snuck past the giant window and crawled down this stupid noisy gravel path. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw or heard us while we were on that part. Then we stuck the present in the tree right outside one guy's window! I just kept having flashes of him opening the window with me standing there, bottle in hand outside his window. The whole time my heart was pounding and I kept thinking that I really need to shut up when I get ideas. Even though this wasn't the original idea and was far less mischeiveous it was still pretty bad.

    I finished hiding the tree stuff and had to take the last clue to the front door. The idea was to tape it to the door, knock/ring the door bell and run. The car was waayyy down the street so I figured we would never make it without being spotted but at that point I had to pee and I was creeped out by the bums and I didn't care. I just wanted to finish it and get out of there. So we tape the note, knock on the door and take off down the street. Part way to the car we run into a man hiding in the shadows. He was obviously very intoxicated. We stopped immediately because we didn't want to get any closer to him. We weren't sure what to do because he was between us and the car. We weren't sure if we should go back because we had just doorbell ditched so we might run into the guys if we went back to the house. He started coming toward us and we just instantly turned and started walking back the way we came. He followed us up the street and I was desperate to ditch him. The creepers had just become the creeped on! Since we were back at the house and it still looked like nothing had changed I made a desperate decision to be safe. With the cars in the driveway, windows all open, and lights on it was obvious people were home. I figured if we walked up and sat on the porch close enough to the house we wouldn't be seen through the window by the people who lived there but the drunk guy would see us sitting on the porch and assume we lived there and he would leave.

    So we sit on the porch, crossing our fingers the whole time that the guys don't have a delayed reaction and decide to see who was at the door. The drunk by walks past the house and after he gets a little ways away we take off running back to her car. Our feet are filthy because when you are sneaking shoes are too loud, I got a massive bruise on my leg, and she has a bruised rib cage but we finished what we started and survived the drunk guy so I feel semi accomplished even if the main goal was kind of a dumb one lol

    We stopped to celebrate with midnight cupcakes from sprinkles. All in all I would say it was a fun night but I'm definitely not going on that street again!
