Elevators should all be equipped with emergency lights...

It seems as though my life (as well as the lives of my friends) has become comprable to a sitcom.
Last Monday there was a situation involving ducks, BB's and overzealous cops... but thats a different story that I will let another tell. I want to talk about my almost-but not so traumatizing experience.
I have decided that all elevators should have decent emergency lighting. The one in my University library does not. I know this because I got stuck in it, by myself, in the dark. Yeah, and apparently there is no emrgency phone either... just an intercom that is connected to campus security that has an obnoxious habit of shorting out when you are on the verge of a panic attack alone in a pitch black elevator. Ok, I admit I am ephasizing the alone and very dark part, but I should be honest... after the first few minutes of feeling around and banging on buttons ( which does not work by the way), I called out for help and after some people heard and Laughed at my precarious situation (JERKFACE) my friends figured out where I was (God bless them) and while security was working on prying me out of my super dark solitary confinement, the whole thing became extremely funny. I know that the fact that I was actually stuck on an elevator like that was most of the amusement... but its now a fairly entertaining story to tell and I can have another adventure to add to my "crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful beautiful life".
