feeling lucky

yamille · July 28, 2008

I'm sitting here at my computer doing homework/surfing BDW website and my window is open and I am listening to a huge domestic dispute.

It makes me sort of sad cause all I hear is the girl screaming about "you don't want the same things as me.. You don't. We are two different people" The guy has said nothing. (that I can hear anyway) It sort of broke my heart. I mean what do I know maybe they fight like this often.. I guess I am just feeling lucky.

I don't know who it is, how long they have been together or anything like that - she just sounded so sad in her voice. It was like she just made this huge discovery. (and it's loud cause my window is open so they might as well be in my kitchen arguing)

lol, you're funny. That reminds me of a short story we read in World Lit class called "The Ginormous Radio" (or something like that). It was a "magical" radio that would let this woman tune into all of the goings-on in her apartment building. Eventually she got addicted and really caught up in everyone's lives. lol

I'm bad tho, I eavesdrop on people sitting near me at restaurants and stuff like that... it irritates Martin

I think it's like watching talk shows, they're sad and they make you feel good about yourself (as weird as that sounds)

I had a similar thing in my old apartment building, the walls were paper thin and my neighbors fought all the time. It sounded really bad, sometimes I would get my girlfriend to translate it from Chinese, it was pretty funny what they were saying.

Did it end well?

Listening to other people fight never made me feel better or lucky about my own life, but it definitely brought out the nosey side of me! It's like free entertainment... reality tv.

When we lived in our apartment there were two sources of entertainment. Baby-mama drama from the single mother who had a rotating door of guys would fight with her "baby daddy" everytime he stopped by to pick the kid up. Then the womanizing roommates who would constantly get bitched out by their girlfriends for cheating... but they'd always come back.

Oh the drama!
