how the computer turned itself on, according to my friend randall

every saturday randall and nigel come over and we play basketball. today is no exception.

randall is tall and white. short cut hair. nigel is black, has an average height and has a shaved his head. i've known nigel for years. randall i met on the first day of jr hi school.

we play HORSE. so far i am a "HO". nigel is a "HOR" and randall is nothing yet.

"can a computer turn on by itself? and i dont mean un-hibernate. i mean its off. and somehow turns itself back on. can someone turn it on remotely?" They both think that it was just hibernating.

I tell them what happened.

Randall says "Maybe she's a witch. Used her magic powers to turn your computer on. Or maybe she snuck into your house, hid all day and all nite. Waited for you to fall asleep and then turned your computer on?"

We conclude that it was just hibernating.

"what do you guys think about the squirrel?"

"I don't know, something u stuck up ur butt maybe?" says Nigel. "you should just ask her. ring her bell and ask her."

He takes a shot, misses, now he's a "HORS"

I live across the street from the basketball court and a few doors down from Mary.

"Your such an idiot." Randall says. "You shouldn't have posted that ad on her facebook. Thats something a girl will hate you for. Has she added you back as a friend yet?"

I tell him 'no' but it was worth it. Too funny not to do. And that i would do it again if i could.

We cross the street. Nigel practices his dribble. Randall drinks some gatorade. We ring the bell and no one answers. Randall suggests we sit down on the stoop and wait for her to come home. In the meantime we can check out girls that pass by.

None do so.

Eventually Randall and Nigel head home and Nigel tells me not to have too much fun with squirrels up my butt.

I go home and turn on my computer. (Plug it in first).

And here i am. still no closer to figuring out what she meant by the squirrel. Not sure why i care. it was a prank. maybe i just need to figure out a way to get even.

I'll see Mary at school on Monday. I'll ask her then.
