Parties...

My neighbourhood is real quiet at night which is surprising because the kids across the street from me never shut up, their mother talks like she wants the world to know her business, and the guy next door is raving mad. But at night, you can hear someone sneeze two blocks away...

I have never been a party gal. The one big high school party I went to, I felt bad for the kid throwing it and spent the night cleaning his house and picking up the garbage. Not much tolerance for sloppy drunk people either...

So, considering the above two points, the raging party a block away is getting me p.o.'d. The kid's parents must go away the same weekend every summer. Last year, the party went until after 2 am. We waited for someone to call the cops. Neighbours all wimped out. There was a fight at the party too. You know the type - macho drunk guy hits on other macho drunk guy's drunk gal and macho boys defend their property. Blah, blah, blah... Even the president of our volunteer group couldn't sleep down the hill at his house last year b/c of the party. Sound carries in this river town...

So, when hubby is done watching his favourite actor - Cary Grant in "Bringing Up Baby" - on channel 13 at 11 pm, the cops are getting a call. Hopefully they can find the address, not like the time we heard a guy running down Birch Street screaming he had a gun and was going to shoot the first person he saw! The cop circled the wrong block three times before giving up... duh...

Whatta town!!!

Of course I will keep you posted! Let me know if you do want to sign up for sure and you can do it online and pay a little a time on their monthly plan! By the way, if you are definitely in the sorority, I hope they are nice to you and decent, not like other mean sororities.
