apartment life

i made a discovery yesterday that blew my mind. this whole time, i've been thinking that the loudingtons lived ABOVE us, that it was the girl ABOVE us i kept hearing vomiting, that it was the couple ABOVE us that was fighting day in and day out.

actually, it's been the couple next door.

how could i have been so wrong? i feel like a jackass; for months, i've been directing my anger upwards when i should have been sending it eastwards. sure, the folks above us may walk a bit heavily at times, but they are not the argument-having, puke-spewing loudingtons. they are simply the cementfoots. lara and ted cementfoot. and betsy and chad loudington have been residing in number 104. this whole time.

today i am going to file a formal complaint about the loudingtons. i might drop a pie off at the cementfoots' place, just to say sorry for shaking my fist at the ceiling when it should have been at the wall.
