Ranting

I’m just curious. Why is it so incredibly difficult to leave other people’s things alone? Why can people not just leave things as they find them? I guess I should explain what I’m talking about.

There are six apartments in my building. I’ve been living here for seven months now. I have come home to find my porch light bulb completely missing twice and unscrewed once. Tonight, for the third time, I found my bulb completely missing. This time, they took it while I was home. Usually they don’t. It annoys me to no end that my neighbors feel that removing my porch light at their whim is perfectly all right. They also felt it necessary to put THEIR half-working, half-non-working Christmas lights on MY side of our shared front porch. I’ve complained to the landlords once already, and it looks like it’s time to make another complaint to them about this most un-neighborly behavior. This is in addition to the fact that both the neighbors next to me and the neighbors above me tend to scream, throw things, and stomp around. I’ve literally had my ceiling lights swing because of the upstairs neighbors.

On another note, what is it with people who talk on their cell phones while driving? Honestly, do they not realize that if they get into an accident, even if the accident was not their fault, they WILL be ticketed and fined for using a cell phone while driving? In most states, it’s illegal to use a cell phone, even with a bluetooth or other hands-free device in use. I know in some states you can use the cell phone while driving if a hands-free device is utilized, but in many states, you can’t. *sigh*

In other news, I found a couple of games for my GameCube. I got my copy of Animal Crossing and I found the Collector’s Edition of The Legend of Zelda. Zelda 1 & 2, Ocarina of Time, and Majora’s Mask all on one disc. )

I’m going to try putting a second div layer inside the absolutely positioned ones to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice. ) I’m also probably going to take down the Going Pink skin, as the pink seems to be getting brighter by the second, and I’m really not fond of that layout anymore anyway.

Well, I’m off to play Animal Crossing. ) You could never tell I’m addicted….I have FOUR towns: Soo City (a play on where I live), Daytona (for those NASCAR racers), Brooklyn (what can I say, I love Type O Negative lol ), and Cameron (for those gorgeous WWE wrestlers Matt & Jeff Hardy). Sheesh! ) TTYL!

    Yes, definitely report that. Luis and I caught a neighbor doing that one night as I am a light sleeper and totally got them in trouble. In fact, he faced eviction if he did not replace the bulb….and I found that hilarious.

    I try not to use my cell in the car and often let it ring through to the voice mail…however once in a while I will answer. I do not like being distracted when I drive.

    Your neighbors and mine should get together and drop off the planet haha, they sound like they have alot in common. Mine haven’t stolen anything from me that I know of so yours officially suck more. Keep complaining to the landlord, I guess that’s all you can really do. (

    I know alot of people who talk on their cell while driving (it’s legal here). Some are amazing at it like my mom and my boyfriend and others aren’t. I do agree that it shouldn’t be done but some people are able to concentrate on driving and talk at the same time. I don’t think I’m one of those people though! P

    Wow, that’s messed up. Of all things to steal, a light bulb?? You need to report it & include that it has happened more than once. That is pathetic. I talk on my cell while driving, but I use a headset =).

    My little cousin forces me to play his game cube with him..I really don’t get into it.

    Heh. I’m kind that likes to do revenge on people although I know it’s not nice. But they learn not to mess with you after when you do it once. LOL.

    Sorry about your neighbors. That sounds really annoying. You should defiantly report it to the landlord, and if they steal your light bulb again, I would steal theirs.

    Haha here in Vancouver, it’s actually legal to talk on the phone, not even a handsfree device - actually HOLDING THE PHONE! - while driving. It’s rather annoying,especially when that causes them to drive extremely slowly, inching forward the slightest bit because they’re trying to multitask unsuccessfully.

    Sorry to hear about your nasty neighbours :/ You should definitely report them.

    I can’t stand it when people talk on the phone while driving! Using a hands-free isn’t illegal in country yet but I definitely think it should be. It distracts just as much as talking on the phone does :/

    Neighbors are just generally a*******, as has been my experience. Even when you own a home, you’ll have neighbors that constantly mow their lawn (ours mow their lawn literally every day, even in winter, unless there’s a foot of snow outside) or throw rocks at your cat or something.

    I just can’t stand cell phones. Everyone is constantly yakking on them, everywhere you go, and most of the time they don’t realize how loud they are. Yesterday I was at a red light, and the guy in the car next to me was talking so loud I could figure out exactly what the whole conversation was. Sheesh!

    Oooh, Animal Crossing is so much fun. I played it nonstop until I got the new DS version. And now I play that nonstop. It’s such a fun, cute game.
