Dear Neighbor...

This summer, both neighbors on both sides of us ventured off to Africa for internships in Ghana and Uganda (Jealous). Both couples were lucky enough to be able to sublease their apartments for the summer so they could keep their apartments for next year which is so fantastic! I'm probably more happy than them that they get to stay! :) This is a big old complaining post, but I can't take it anymore!! I want our old neighbors back!! haha!

Here is a little background. On one side of our apartment, the walls are pretty darn thick and are basically sound proof. Right now we have a couple with a newborn baby living there and we've never heard anything on that side of the wall. The wall on the other side of our apartment is a different story... It was installed 80 years ago by a 4 year old Vietnamese child with cardboard, colorful tissue paper you use in gift bags, and white paint. No joke! :)Right now, on the opposite side of that cardboard wall, the apartment is inhabited by a single guy whom, I have discovered, is simply a treat! I have found that if I sit at the table next to that wall to study or what have you, I can get all the entertainment I need! I can sit and listen to an assortment of colorful words including the F word every five minutes, bombs exploding, hearing "Are you kidding me?" over and over again, etc. When this kid first moved in I had to check outside just to make sure World War Three was indeed not in the parking lot.

My special neighbor put his computer right against that wall and literally sits 3-4 feet away from where I am so it sounds like we're in the same room. He plays some game ALL day long so I get very aggravated and have resorted to kicking the wall every time he says the F word. I just think, why would you waist your life!! Doesn't he know that an addicted gamer is not the number one quality a woman wants in a man? Am I being judgmental? Yes. A little bratty? Yes, but I would just really enjoy some friendly talk from the other side of the wall such as, "Thank you so much for shooting me you wonderful person" or maybe "Bless you, you piece of happiness".

In conclusion:
Dear neighbor, please put a sock in your mouth to stop it from articulating ugly words, try to leave your apartment other than when you run out of food or your mother wants you to visit. Maybe you could even try to meet people and go on a date. Expand your horizons son! It's time to take that big leap!
