Wake-up call
24Aug2006 Filed under: HomelyOur neighborhood is pretty quiet, but in the year and a half since we’ve moved in, I’ve been woken up a few times by everything ranging from a gruesome car accident at the angled 5-way intersection we live off of, to a woman arguing with her boyfriend via cell phone, to a SWAT team showing up to take our drug-dealing neighbors away. But last night took the cake when, at 3am, I was woken up by my 21-year-old neighbor bellowing “OH MY GOD, I HAVE TO PEE SO BAD!!!”

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

That’s better than hearing squeaky bedsprings and your 20-something neighbor yell, “Oh Oh Oh yeah baby, you’re the best. Oh oh oh ooooooh.” at 4:30am.
It’s always in the middle of the effing night.
She wakes me up. And when she’s done I feel like I need some afterplay.
We’ve never met, but I call her Suzy Sexpants.

our downstairs neighbor once slept on his backporch and snored all night.
