I Did it- finally !!!

19 months now - every afternoon ( and perhaps evenings ?! ) - I've heard the ol' lady next door play some form of music every afternoon without fail. I wonder what they build these crappy apartment buildings with - They are most certainly not sound proof- I can hear from snores to yawns to - Well whatever - ALL THE TIME ! And I can only imagine what a ruckus it'd be for them. But well - let's get to me.

So I had this really bad end of day. It was depressing to say the least - I was angry and upset and helpless about a whole bunch of things that were transpiring. I swore to pray to the AlMighty to shower upon some pity on those wounded souls who have had enough of it all. So there was hardly any sleep, lots of thinking and sore eyes. I had a meeting at 8 @ Golden Valley. We were supposed to test our baby ( read "machine that we'd built" ) ! And I was out there - feeling completely tired, bad headache, dizzy and completely nasty. But well - you gotta do what you gotta do. It was a beautiful day. Weather predictions 56 F. I was feeling better. But it dint last long. I was mentally energetic. Physically drained. Had a quick chit chat with my roommate and then quickly wrapped up myself cozily after a weary "gnite" ! "Aaaaah - Everythings going to be fine after this nap sweety " -- zzzzzz....

And then it all started again ...

I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
all you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
so wont the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up
cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady
all you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
so wont the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up....

OH - MY-GODDDD (Janus stule - courtesy F.R.I.E.N.D.S) ! Not again ! I want to SLEEP lady !! Please NOT today ! Dont just please do this to me today ! But it never stopped. I'd lost it. Lost my sleep. I was furious !

Well..what happened today was'nt the first time - But I would comfortably go into my shell and patiently wait for the darn thing to quieten and the yawns and snores to complete the musical drama - But I wonder what grew over me today - I decided to give her a piece of my mind. Looking absolutely stunning in a "Lets get nerdy " T , red pants (!!), violet sandals (!!! OH mY god!) and disheaveled hair I went and knocked on #6. I felt like a soldier embarked upon the worlds most important war ( or whatever !) I am going to do this today- That's it I have had enough ! MY SLEEP IS IMPORTANT TO ME ! No response. "What on earth does this mean ? Open the door lady!" Knock Knock Knock - still no response -

From the other side - " Hey soooshiii honey - mummy's gonna give you a nice little bath" -
Me- "What the..."
Knock KNock Knock
"I am slim shady- yes - I am "
BANG BANG BANG !!!
"Cmon here sweet peas"
"SWEET PEAS !!! HERE'S WHAT SWEET PEAS WILL LOOK LIKE SANS SLEEP -- WAHHHH PLEASE OPEN THE DOOOOOOOOOOR - IAM BRAVE AND I'VE COME TO PLEAD"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"whose thisssssssssss"?
"Your neighbour"
"Neighbour who???"
At this point I could have said something really cheeky in Tamizh - but well - not only would'nt she have understood it - I would'nt have either.. so
"Neighbour from #8"
DOOR FINALLY OPEN ! AND THIS LITLE CAT WITH THESE REALLY SCARY EYES POPS OUT..
"Could you please keep it down - I am trying to study ?!??!!"
"Oh sweety- really sorry - will do that - BANG"
Me standing there like an idiot. What ? Thats it ?
It was supposed to be " COULD YOU TURN DOWN THE DAMN MUSIC - IAM TRYING TO SLEEP HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ???"
Anyways- gathering up the little shame that was left of me - i dragged myself back home..and now - I cant sleep - It's gone - I am bugged - but proud all the same - It's taken me 19 months to stick up for myself ! Ah well - whatever !
