Ring of Fire

My roommate smokes, which I didn't think would bother me, but kind of does. So every night, I light a scented candle in my room. My logic is that if my room smells really nice, the intolerable stench outside won't be such a big deal.

Last night, I fell asleep with a candle lit. I guess the wick was too long or something. It ended up fogging up my entire room with thick, dark smoke. The cobwebs in the corners turned black (and were then easy to find and remove). The ceiling above the candle now has a thick layer of black ash on it. Now one of the items on my to-do list is "wash the ceiling."

All day, I've been cleaning hardened smoky residue out of my nostrils. No, friends. The irony is not lost on me.
