Features Of The House I Lived In During High School
During my high school years I lived in one specific house. It was a pretty odd house, filled with love, bad weather, laughter, food, black outs, pets, supernataral happenings, musical bedrooms, pottery, pets, comic books and that one table that's been in the household for twenty odd years and could still destroy a tank if dropped from a fourth story balcony. I miss that table.
P.S. The idea is from brunching.com and 1 is best, 26 worst.
Downstairs Bathroom
This thing would lock on you in a heart beat. I once spent an hour down there, banging on the door, sitting there bored, trying to figure out how to get out. Fortunately there was a linen closet with enough crap in it that MacGyver could have built a thirty foot tall rampaging robot and dropped kicked that annoying side kick into a power transfer station.
I managed to wriggle the handle enough to escape.
Rating: 20. No matter what, the bathroom always smelled. And it had a door straight into the other bedroom. Mucho confusion.
The Cement Floor Closet
When you have to put shoes on just to get dressed in the morning...
Rating: 20. It was cold.
That Window
Again, in the basement. If I had any sort of life whatsoever, I could have snuck in and out of the house whenever I wanted. I didn't though. I still don't have a life. I blame monkeys.

That Deck
It's gone now, having detached from the house in the middle of the night three days after I moved out. It killed and devoured the neighbors before being subdued by the police, doused with gasoline and set afire.
Rating: 13 of because the rampaging part. I hated the neighbors.
The Spooky Graveyard
Literally in spitting distance of the house. I used to mention this to those people I wanted to impress/scare away. In my early high school years one could cut across it to get to the icee-shop the church set up.
It's best feature though, was that the basement allowed us kids to sleep on the same level as dead slaves who passed away a century ago.
One house party (shh, don't tell mom) resulted in a seance being held on one of the gravestones. I didn't like this and I left, being creeped out and all. Plus, the rampaging zombies didn't smell so nice either.
Rating: 9. It would have gotten a higher rating but it was just too spooky.
The Crawlspace In The Second Bedroom
I never got up there, it's just that the concept of such was cool enough. I poked up the top once and thought I saw a box of stuff but it was just insulation. And a skeleton.
Rating: 9.
Proximity To My High School
The school being right down the road made it hard to miss when you didn't want to go.
Rating: 9. Plus it was daaamn cold when you had to walk during wintertime.
The Under The Stairs Part
This cement-floored area was mostly used for storage. Some times though, when the moon was full and our muscles working, it would be cleaned out and it would be an...area under the stairs. Shoot. Well, it's still cool. I don't know where I was going with this.
Rating: 7. Hey, under the stairs.
This is in no way a complete list of the oddities inherent in the house. I'll try and touch on the rest later. Maybe a future list on the weirdness of the neighberhood. (We were the first house. The most normal house).
