Now somebody's gettin' on my nerves, and I'm wrecked to get crazy
It never fails to amaze me
How people never miss a possip and just believe the gossip
Instead of finding out the truth of what's up
It's got my nostrils flairin'
I'd be a fool if I believe half of the dumb shit I be hearing....

Last night C and I were recovering from a long and difficult day for both of us. Just kicking back, organizing music files, drinking some wine just hanging out, no harm, no foul.
The phone rings at 10:30 pm. Oh crap, that is usually NOT a good thing. It's my landlady, someone called to complain about the 'noise'. Excuse me? The NOISE?
I've lived at my apartment for 6 full years now and have never had a complaint, ever, not even once. I've had people over at all hours of the night, music bumpin' and having fun...but have never been disrespectful or had anything too crazy going on. WTF? My landlady even said 'Sarah, I've never had a problem with you.' And I told her I didn't know what was going on and of course apologized becuase it is crappy that she's got to deal with this sort of thing at all.
Argh, grr and all that. I am pissed. I then got all onery and C had to calm me down, I knew EXACTLY who had called her and I was going to go let them have it, that is such crap. You don't need to act like an ass and go and call my landlady. Why not simply knock on the door and ask me to turn the music down? Or leave it alone until the next day and leave me a note or come talk to me then? I can understand if you ask someone repeatedly and still have a problem, THEN you might call the landlady...but I've never even talked to these people. Some f*cking nerve, oooooohhhh, I'm still pissed. I was a little buzzed last night, so it's a good thing C was there to keep me in line, otherwise I'm might've done something to escalate the situation. I was all yelling through my closet at them, what a dork I am!
*blush*
Anyway, I understand their frustrations about the music. It may have been a little loud, but just suck it up and have some class why don't ya? How hard is it to go to your neighbor and say 'Howdy neighbor, can I getchya to turn that down a notch?' or 'Hey, I noticed your bass is thumping my headboard, maybe you could turn it down?' or even 'I'm trying to sleep, now be a good little neighbor and turn that shit down!' any of that would've been better then them bringing my landlady into it.
And let's not EVEN start on all the crap I've put up w/ while living there. We've had some real charachters in that place, but I've never complained about something as silly as the music being up too loud, I've never complained at all. It wasn't even that late! I can understand at 2 AM, sure...but it was like 10 PM....not that late and it wasn't THAT loud! Jeesh, the two guys that lived there before had all sorts of parties and people in and out and who knows what else going on over there, but never had a problem with them, they were good kids and they respected Max and I, in fact I always got the feeling that they were kinda trying to keep an eye on us.
I dunno, maybe I'm trying to justify my actions, but I still think they over reacted and I'm pretty irritated.

Maybe they were too scared to talk to you. I noticed that seems to be the way of things. everyone is sure they will be shot on site for doing the once neighborly thing.
LOL:) Ok, that made me laugh P, you are so sweet in your jesting!
Actually, last night I was very much out of my charachter, so much so that I even surprised myself. Yesterday was such a strange day over all anyway, this whole incident was just icing on the crusty cake.
And...there was that incident which Crystal and I refer to 'Sarah's Acts Of Random Anger'....ha ha ha, that is some funny stuff!
Well the neighbors got a good healthy dose of me expressing my anger last night.
I can't remember the last time I was so angry, really, those effing a-holes! I cussed and yelled at them! Not very mature or gentle, but I still did it.
I know it seems stupid, but I get real irritated when people mess with my life and THAT is starting something in my book.
I am a little embarassed about it today though and am feeling a little guilty that I over reacted, maybe just a teeny bit. I'm sure it was some misplaced/misguided anger from some other place coming out.
