The upstairs neighbours.

[martinemonster]

My last exam is nearing it's end, and as I've told some of you, and discreetly hinted to others, the people upstairs have started listening to techno music 24/7. Just loudly enough that you hear the bass, not loudly enough that you can hear what it is. So now my apartment resonates with their music all day, every day. In addition, lately, they've started yelling over the music instead of turning it down to talk, so I can make out 3 separate voices, but not what they're saying. I also suspect they have mastered the art of sleep deprivation to a hitherto unknown degree since they were having a heated argument (possibly, or you know, maybe they're just really loud) yesterday, at 1 a.m., when I was trying to sleep, and still was up playing more music today before I got up at 9. This is driving me insane! But, I've so far had about 5 parties where I forgot to give notice to my neighbours, and thus, complaining about these guys might open me up for attack. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do!

You Are Tiramisu

Light and lovely, you pack a punch. You never overwhelm... but you always leave a lasting impression.

What Dessert Are You Most Like?

Mmmm...wants tiramisu

You Are a Fierce Femme

You have a wild side, and you aren't afraid to bring it out when the time is right. But you also know when to hang back and keep your "crazy chick" persona in check. In fact, some of your friends may be surprised to find out how far you can take it... You may look mild mannered, but it's all an act!

Are You a Daring Woman?

See, I can be daring...When I want to!

I voted for the polite version, but what I'd rather do is send someone else to do a modified and more violent option number two.

I'm cheap, in need of money, and more than happy to escalate neighborly differences into violence. You have my phone number.

On a completely unrelated topic: What the hell are smores?

Apathy rocks, baby. Alternately, do something about it before it becomes my problem...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I have, but you don't pick up...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

That's true...I actually think we have new neighbours. You know, instead of the giant baby there are now between 3 and 5 eastern european guys living above us. (They paused the music, apathy wins for now).

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Neither do you. I fumbled a bit, and you hung up as I picked up, and when I tried to call you seconds later, I only got your answering service. And you didn't answer my text.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I think you take marshmellows and put sweet crackers around them, and I know chocolate figures in the mix somewhere. And you roast it on a fire when you're going camping. Always wanted to try it, never got the chance.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

There. Call made. and answered. Success!

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

A nice compromise would of course be tossing a little grenade in their door. You wouldn't actually have to confront them, and the problem would be solved...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's simple. It's effective.

But you see, I'm more of a passive aggressive type. I think I'll just start playing ridiculously loud music to bug them right back... ;)

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

A grenade is the very definition of passive agressiveness! You just toss it in, and then wait for them to respond.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but then again, the murder charges and all that. Plus, where do I find a grenade? Maybe I could try a home-made smoke grenade...that'd be fun.

I totally agree with your memes. Also, you should go tell the apartment complex management that your neighbours are being douches. Don't take it upon yourself to police their behaviour. They might rape you and kill you and make clothes from your skin. They might not do it in that order!

i voted for classic but i am leaning towards the violent :)

You are a Mild Mama

You don't have to be screaming at the top of your lungs to have a good time You rather chill, soak in the moment, and appreciate life for what it is Guys appreciate your "take life as it comes" approach... (Though they wouldn't mind if you got a little wild from time to time!)

Are You a Daring Woman?

bwuahahahaha - screw u guys, i like my laid back attitude :)
XD and so does jared *points*

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

And here I was thinking I might be a little paranoid when I mentioned that they might be cannibals, but no, you're right, the might just be reavers too. Who said reavers can't settle?

I'm frightened by the manager...he complained about my lacking skills of taking in my newspapers once and I'm still scared he might think I'm a slob. Maybe he notices how bad I am at recycling?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

See, I kinda wanna go with violent too. The closer I get to my exam, the more I wanna get violent. Does that seem right to you?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Loving the icon!!!

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Just imply that you think the upstairs neighbours might also be LEAVING FOOD OUT! He'll be up there quick as lightning.

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

He has a point; remember that we're living rather close to rape street...

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

I thought illegal firearms were rife around Oslo these days. Anyways, smoke grenades would just make them angry, and angry means noisy.
Maybe the best thing would be a dud grenade; gives them a fright, but only leads to attempted murder charges at worst.

[dm-hpcrazy.livejournal.com]

I SO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! in my residence, i have been asking if someone can break my finger :P
but then u know u have to be careful at the same time - cuz u dont know what kind of freak they are :)

[dm-hpcrazy.livejournal.com]

*giggle* thanks its by causette

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Pah.
I'd break a finger for a friend, but as, I think, most sensible people, I'd of course make sure they meant it seriously first. Or just waited until they called me a freak and done it anyway.

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

I think I'd try to get it it writing, signed and witnessed by a third party first. Though I still don't think it would hold up in court...
Anyhow, I just get the urge to break other people, not have myself hurt. If I wanted that I'd just go logging while drunk again.
