because i know you care

my neighbors:
the couple in 203 are newlyweds and have two dogs, a his and hers set. i think that one is some kind of miniature boxer mutt and the other looks like a white rat. they have peculiar schedules and i almost never see the wife in broad daylight. because of that, ive only ever greeted the husband with a 'hey' by the mailboxes or a 'hi' in the parking lot.

204 is shared by a mother & son couple, seriously. they both moved it around the beginning of september, he's from Wisconsin and she's from north carolina. both have spouses that are living in other states, who do actually visit from time to time and take my parking space. she is a middle school teacher and he doesnt seem to have a regularly scheduled job, other than frequenting the complex gym. reid found out that he's a huge Packers fan and that he's here to live with his mom because he lost his job back up north. she has a little jack russell, who HAS to be mute because i thankfully, have never heard him bark.

remember in college when you could always hear everything your roommates were doing in the tiny space you had to share? well 206 is like a page out of the "what not to do in college: if you have roommates" chapter of a student handbook. seriously, i've heard fights, late night drunken parties, video game playing, heels clacking while getting ready before a night out, slamming kitchen cabinets at 3am, everything (you name it) that i've tried to avoid by renting a townhouse. inevitably, there will be some college aged people in an apartment complex, but usually not like this. i assume that my neighbors are a female and male who are just friends but living together. he is the only one i've ever seen leave the house in 'student attire.' she has never spoken to me, but likes to smoke while walking her chihuahua rat out in front of the building. i think she is some kind of waitress or holds a job in a restaurant judging by her all black and non-skid-shoe wardrobe. her tv has been waaaaaaaay too loud several times, as well as his video game playing. i've only actually gone over there once to tell them to shut up and threatened to call the cops. mostly because we had to drive 5 hours the next day, after a full day of work, and i couldn't be bothered to stay awake listening to their horrible conversations and guitar playing at 4 am.

a nice man with a 4 year old boy who visits on the weekends lives in 207. he actually works at the liquor store right down the street. he always says hi, but i dont know much else about them. i always want to ask if he can hear 206 as loud as i can. maybe someday.
