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!

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.

[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.

Home made splinter grenades aren't that hard to make. I think black powder would be sufficient, and any chemists have the ingredients you need for that. Add small nails, a fuse and a metal container, and we're good to go.

If you only want to scare them, make sure they don't find out who it is. In my opinion you either let people alone or kill them outright. Anything in between, and they'll seek revenge.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. I think I might just leave them alone...people shouldn't have too many enemies. They might gang up on you.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

I think you misunderstood. I never meant to suggest you leave them alone.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Oh I know what you meant...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

You know how I have some contacts among the criminal elements of Holmestrand? I have no contacts in Oslo. Oslo could be swimming in illegal firearms and still nobody would hook me up. Trust me. Maybe we should wait till you come home. I hear the army is the easiest way to get the goods, and since you used to be in the army, you could probably sneak back in and get some.

It's ridiculously easy; response time to the biggest arms depot in the country was some thirty minutes back in my time, and the defenses were mainly a wire fence and a padlocked metal door...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

See, and since you know where everything's at, it should be you who does it...

Then again, maybe we should save that plan for when the zombies attack.

Actually, the papers said the taxis were used to shuttle arms. So just order a taxi to somewhere you don't live, knock out the driver, check the trunk, and repeat until you have the means to take out the annoying neighbors.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

That sounds tiresome. And potentially dangerous. I wouldn't want to piss of a bunch of gun-toting angry taxi drivers.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

But that's the hole idea!
The drivers are only shuttling the guns, not using them, you only take on one at a time, and you make sure they don't find out where you live.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

But there aren't that many taxi drivers in Oslo...they'd probably recognize me.
