My upstairs neighbours have a lot of sex -- at least, I assume that's what I'm hearing, unless there's something else that would produce the quiet rhythmic squeaking of the hardwood floors. Anyway, I think it's great. Go sex! Still, I can't help but feel like they're taunting me and my empty bed.

Only Sane Co-Worker: So, how was your weekend?
Me: Great! On Friday night I played Scrabble and ate cheese!

Could I be any older? It was, however, an exciting moment in history when I said at dinner, "You could all come to my place", and people didn't run away screaming at the thought of heading all the way into the east end, as happened at my previous place. Score! Also there was spontaneous dropping-by of people, and a very short walk home after movies on Sunday night. This why it's convenient to actually live near people.

Other than play games and watch movies, I did, wow, absolutely nothing productive this weekend. You will understand the level of my unproductiveness when I say I had to dig through the laundry basket twice this morning in order to get dressed. Also I spent all day yesterday in my pjs and only got dressed because of the spontaneous dropping-by in the evening.

Final note: My parents went out walking this weekend in their shorts. I, on the other hand, was covered in an inch thick layer of snow after walking 5 minutes from the streetcar on Saturday. Mrrr.

You were productive - you bought clothes!! :)

[listersgirl]

That's true! And I'm wearing them today, even.

That's me, a walking advertisement for Jacob Connection.

[starfishchick]

Are you wearing the dragonfly shirt? *jealous*

I think I may have changed my mind on the trench. When I tried it on at home, I didn't like it AT ALL.

[listersgirl]

I should probably try mine on again, since, if the current weather is any indication, I won't get to wear it EVER. Or at least until after I can't take it back.

I wore the dragonfly shirt yesterday (read: put it on in a hurry at 6pm because Sarcasma and Sanity_clause called to say they were just down the street and could they come over? and I thought clothes rather than pjs would be appropriate). Today I'm wearing one of the v-necks, the one that's the same colour as the dragonfly shirt.

[starfishchick]

That dragonfly shirt is so pretty on you!! Did you tell Sarcasma about the Almost-Purchased Pink Shirt of Doom?

[listersgirl]

Hah, no - I blocked it out of my mind. I'll have to do so.

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

Telllll meeeeee.

Also, so THAT'S what you meant when you talked about the upstairs people's extremely regular bedtime. I wondered. :)

[listersgirl]

When the salesperson brought me a different size of a shirt, she brought one in pale pink, because she thought it would look good.

And it did.

I almost bought it, but at the last minute I couldn't go against everything I thought I knew was right in the world. :)

Ha!

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

I knew we'd turn you one day.

It must have been that one specific light pink that looks awesome on strawberry blondes & light redheads. You should've bought it!

Re: Ha!

[listersgirl]

I was scared of the mocking!

Hee.

[idella]

Is this the raspberry one? Because that would suck.

[starfishchick]

No. A light brown one. Listersgirl got the green version, which looks awesome on her - I'm unconvinced about the one I got. (Besides, let's be honest, I'll wear my fleece until it's time to wear shorts!)

Sex? What's that? Why does it make floors squeak?

*is confused*

[listersgirl]

People moving on bed, bed moving on floor...

I love hardwood floors, but you do become somewhat of an expert in recognizing the various sounds. :D

[protoainsley.livejournal.com]

Sounds vaguely familiar, more because of a conversation with a friend, years ago, when someone was having sex above me and we ascertained who was on top from the squeaks and bangs, than from personal experience. :P

When I lived in Florida my next door neighbors were of the passionate variety. There were nights, after he'd been on the road all week and was just home, that I actually slept on the futon in the living room because they were so loud I couldn't block it out with my headphones.

And?

and she laughed like "that Cummins gal" in Oklahoma that Curly was flirty with. Like a donkey with a sinus condition, that is. And she thought her boyfriend/husband was soooooo funny. *eyeroll*

[listersgirl]

Oh LORD. That would be painful. Thankfully I can't actually hear anything verbal because that might kill me.

BWhahahah....I know

[mystery-diva.livejournal.com]

"scrabble and cheese?"....we are *super cool*. But, I had a really good time, so poop on anyone who doesn't think scrabble and cheese aren't cool.

Lord....loud sex neighbours are evil. I had a roommate in university who was loud, and it's annoying when A) you can't sleep and B) you can't remember the last time you had anyone in *your* bed...and C) you can't sleep...

Re: BWhahahah....I know

[listersgirl]

We ARE super cool. Not only did we play Scrabble, but we played Scrabble well! With big words and everything!

Re: BWhahahah....I know

I would LOVE a game of Scrabble. It's been a while. I love playing games with friends. (I should clarify. I love board games, and playing them with friends is swell!)

[dramaqueen-23.livejournal.com]

If it's just squeaking, that's not so bad. Loud screaming and smut-talk can be kept to dull roar with some effort. But with hardwood floors, there's not a lot that can be done to elimate the inevitable bed-thumping.

[listersgirl]

It's really not that bad, thankfully. Well, it's over pretty quickly, so the sex might be bad, but from my perspective it's not too obnoxious. :D

[gmajor.livejournal.com]

Beats the heck out of hearing a power sander go off at 2 in the morning, as was the case with our last apartment.

Hardwood floor sounds. Hmmm. No sex, but I distinctly heard the sound of someone vacuuming marbles in a bathtub upstairs.

[listersgirl]

Yeah, I'm totally happy with a few squeaks after the heavy bass of my downstairs neighbours at the last place, not to mention the car stereos in the alley.

[anglaisepaon.livejournal.com]

How do you look at your neighbors when you run into them? I'd be giggling like a mad thing.

Personally, I think your Friday sounds fabulous. Add some olives to the mix and that's a rockin' party! :)

[listersgirl]

Mmmm, olives.

I haven't met my neighbours yet, but I'm tempted to stalk them, just to see who they really are. Although then the visuals might be too much...

[anglaisepaon.livejournal.com]

Oh, I meant to email you this weekend, but are you still looking for a dish rack? Because World Market has some small wooden ones that can fold up when you're not using them. Sorry there's no photo of them, but they were $17 in the store. And Ballard has a cute one on sale.

Sorry about the long link. One of these days I'll learn how to make it tiny.

[listersgirl]

Shiny! Thanks. I'm still in full waffle mode about the dishrack, so more options are great.

pout.

I'm sorry, what? You played SCRABBLE??? Without me???

But but but but but Scrabble is my most favouritest game in the world and you you you you always said you didn't like so so so so so we never played and now I am sad.

:P

Re: pout.

[listersgirl]

I'm pretty sure what I said was not that I didn't like it, but that I'm TERRIBLE at it. And therefore I was scared to play it because it might have driven me into a black pit of depression at my uselessness.

Next time you're around, I promise we'll play. We can play in Victoria, even, if that will make you feel better. :D
