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!

Oh come on, do you think the rapists of "rape street" would just pull annoying neighbours in and rape them. I'd be all like: "hey cops, I know where the suckers live. It's right up there. Yeah, and on the doorbell it says..." No, if I were to rape someone, I'd make damned sure they wouldn't be able to pinpoint my apartment afterwards.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

This is commonly known as "don't shit where you eat".

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I always hated that expression. It just sounds so crude...

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

It's meant to be crude. To emphasize the point.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Well, but I still get stuck on the expression rather than the point. Every single time...I guess it just doesn't work for me.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

In that case, don't piddle where you diddle. :D

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

lol. Fine, let's go with that.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

As you wish.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

What about "Don't do illegal and or attention grabbing things close to where you live, work or have other, more serious criminal business, so that you will increase the chances of getting caught"?

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Too wordy.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Allright then, how about "Think!"?

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Good advice, but not specific enough in this instance.

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

Don't rape where you sleep? Guess that's a point.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah!

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Still, weren't this exactly what happened several times this fall right here in Oslo?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

No. This fall, several people were pulled into their apartments and raped. Not brought home to the rapist's place and then kicked out afterwards. Big difference.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Well, I can remember at least one newspaper article where a woman was taken to an apartment and raped by several men. Of course, they were caught, but that can hardly be more than a small comfort to the woman.

She was taken there, though, and probably drunk out of her mind, so it might not apply in this case.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, it could happen I guess. But then again, seeing the guys upstairs put in jail for anything would make me feel better.

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

Ooh! You are not allowed to terminate someones rent while they're in jail, so there is a chance that the apartment will be empty for 3-15 years; go for it!
Or, you know, try to get them arrested in some other way, one that does not include being raped...

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

You could get someone else raped? What about that bearded fellow, isn't he the one complaining about the newspapers?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Yes, but he's scary. ANd I think he could take them.

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Well, problem solved either way, eh?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Well, it's been all quiet today. Maybe I should just let it go?

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

That _was_ my first suggestion...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I had to say something, didn't I? Now, they turned the music back on.
