When I said that a constant enemy would improve my writing, I didn't actually mean I wanted one
My roommate Kyle turned twenty-two today. He threw a modest party (about a dozen friends) and they all left by midnight, which, needless to say, is extremely rare for a college party. By 12:15 everyone had gone to sleep or home except Adam and myself. We took a bike ride through the automall. Between twelve and six in the morning, it is abandoned, yet brightly lit for the no one who goes there. This is one of my favorite nighttime haunts because of this eerie quality. We returned to my house and carried on a quiet conversation about past parental issues until-
"Shut the FUCK up! I have to work early tomorrow. If I hear you again I'm gonna CALL THE COPS!"
There is a long pause. Then-
"AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR MOM."
This voice is coming from upstairs, in the other side of the duplex. These neighbors have always been relaxed about noise. So I think, he is probably joking about, though actually does want us to be quiet. Then I remember that those neighbors moved out earlier this month. Perhaps the landlord has found someone already.
So I apologise, and we continue in whispers. About three minutes later-
"I'M GONNA COME DOWN THERE AND PISTOL WHIP YA. SHUT. UP."
Now this is outright rude. Also, I don't see how calling the cops for City Noise Ordinance violation is going to get anyone who has just threatened bodily harm on the perpetrator anywhere. And in general I have become accustomed to tolerating people of different backgrounds, but, when one denies what one is, it can be difficult to facilitate one's own needs. Personally, I find it quite logical that misanthropic white trash live in the middle of nowhere.
