........Lamps can melt.
At around 11:20 last night I awoke to the smell of burning plastic and my roommate frantically telling me that her lamp was melting.
And it turns out that this was a very true statement. I put my pants on (I was concerned that the smoke alarm might sound, because I remembered that our "smoke" alarms are actually heat alarms) and powered up our fan so that we could get some new-not-horrible-smelling-air circulating. The smell dissipated and I was able to go back to sleep comfortably.
Good thing that I love my roomie enough to overlook the smell of burning plastic:)
I have melted not just one, but two lamps!! both times, I stupidly put something over them and they heated up and melted. Oops. Glad that I'm in good company :)
