FACT: I am COMPLETELY obsessed with eavesdropping on my neighbors.
During the night, I'll often flail my arms at Connie, signalling her to mute the TV in order for me to get a better understanding of the turmoil occurring in their lives. This obsession also effects how many times I "shush" Connie because if we can hear them, they can hear us. I'll be damned if I'm the subject of someone else's blog.
Now, many of you already know the story of my most
hated neighbor, but today, someone else has earned her place in the Armacost soap opera. I wrote about this person
a long time ago, but she's been pretty quiet since. I'm going to call her
Silver Reign, because I think she works there (or maybe
Plan B).
For the last three or four Saturdays, Silver Reign has played right into my need-to-know web. Around 11am, she'll somehow come to be on the phone with, who I'm assuming to be, her boyfriend. Now, for reference, allow me to describe the two guys I've seen visit her place.
First, there's MotoCross. This guy is
pretty much what you'd expect him to look like. Hair color has changed, but his automotive themed t-shirts and cigarettes hanging out of his mouth are a staple. He's a younger guy and he's a douche bag, there's no question about that.
Dude number two, we'll just call Sleazy. This guy is at least 35 years-old if not older (and Silver Reign I'm going to guess is between 22 and 28). He has slicked back hair, he's overweight and drives a bright red Audi. One night, around 11pm after softball, Connie and I came home to find him pounding on her door and bellowing her name. We don't know if she wasn't home, or wasn't answering him, but he's an idiot.
So there you go, couple of regular winners.
Anyway, today has been spectacular. I'm pretty sure her couch is RIGHT next to her patio door, so I get to hear just about everything. And she is defensively yelling to whoever is on the other end about who she has NOT slept with, and from the sounds of it, he's not listening. She's pretty pissed off, more so than previous weekends. And to top it all off, her cell phone keeps ringing and her ringtone is "Boyfriend" by Ashlee Simpson.
Round of applause for the star of today's show, everyone.
