I'm scared of my neighbors. The mystery.

I was leaving my apartment to go visiting teaching this evening and when I shut my apt door, I noticed a man in the stairwell in some very strange attire. He was wearing some weird outfit with a hood that could kind of be compaired to an exterminator/fireman/auto repair uniform. EXCEPT.......he had a gauzy mask covering his face, thin enough to breathe through, but too thick to see a face. Weirdddd. So, I opted to not humor him and walked down the stairs tote ignoring him (tote=totally). He then walked behind me for the entire 5 flights describing me. I know what you are thinking, {describing you, Reagan?}. Seriously, describing me.

"Specimen....Human, Gender....Female, Height....appears to be 5'6'', weight...approximately 120 lbs, age....25"

He was even saying everything in a slow slash creepy voice. Plus, he was wrong on every category except for the specimen and gender. I'm 5'8''! So, when I got to the bottom of the stairs I have to admit I was really freaked out, wondering what he wanted with me and what he was hiding behind that weird white fabric-y mask. I guess I'll never know, because I booked it out of the building and up the street faster than he could estimate my shoe size and eye color. I just hope he never comes back, because I hate him. That's all there is to say about that.

That sounds kind of like a prank Ben and I pulled in highschool. Except we wore gas masks instead of gauze and did it in supermarkets, not apartment buildings.

I'm pretty sure you know that you need to call me next time that happens, right? That is pretty much the only reason that we own a baseball bat.

Yuck! I think you should keep the baseball bat with you at all times. Do you think he lives in your building?

That is soooo creepy. If that happened to me I think a would have pretty much peed my pants or something right then and there.
