The Soda Stand

Have you been witness to something where the first thought in your head was I am sooooo blogging about this!!!?

Yeah, me too.

The last few days here in my complex have been exciting, to say the least.  I’ve posted about both episodes.  Here is my third and hopefully my final drama from the ‘hood post.

Earlier today, my next door neighbor (Neighbor #1) had some friends over.  One of these friends happens to live on the other side of me in a different building (Neighbor #2).  Neighbors #1 and #2 were partying it up.  I could smell the weed in the common area and I could hear them coming and going all day long.

At one point, Neighbor #2 got into an argument with her daughter.  In my common area, they were screaming at each other.  I went out there and asked what was going on and they settled down.  The daughter later came over to apologize to me for the ruckus.

As the day progressed, I noticed some guys going in and out of the apartment and Neighbor #1 was getting louder and louder.   Oh boy!

About an hour and a half ago, I heard some screaming and slamming doors and then I heard them looking for Neighbor #2’s young son.   He is about two years old, wearing a diaper and some sandals.  He wandered out of Neighbor #1’s apartment and found his way out to the front of the building, in the street area of the parking lot.

I went out there and gathered him up and returned him to Neighbor #2.  At this moment, I saw Neighbor Girl (Neighbor Guy’s roommate) sitting out on her stoop so I went over to chat with her and talk shit about my neighbors.

Neighbor #1 then proceeded to run around the complex (which is predominatly black, BTW) screaming the word n*gger over and over.  She screamed it at the top of her lung, she whispered it, she said it in a normal voice and then said it so many times, the two year old started saying it.

Neighbor Girl and I tried to get her to stop and then Neighbor #2 came out to get her inside.   Neighbor #1 tripped and fell and could not get up she was so drunk.  Neighbor #2 and I lifted her up and carried her into the couch in her apartment, hoping she would pass out and stay there!  Just a dream, my friends.  Just a dream.

In the meantime, one of the visitors to Neighbor #1’s apartment came over to chat with us cause he was not digging the whole thing, I guess.  He let us both know immediately he likes white girls.  Great.  Neighbor Girl and D exchanged phone numbers and we just sat there chatting.  He was too young (26) for me, so I let her do the flirting thing.

Well then Neighbor #2 comes strolling over, hitting on D.  I mean, seriously hitting on him, trying to hook up! She put him on the spot so badly, I was dying.   My first thought was, damn I need to blog about this! My second thought was, poor D, how embarrassing for both of them.

I’m all about being blunt and assertive when it comes to things I want/like, but seriously!  I would never say the words so do you wanna fuck me or not in front of total strangers!   Nor would I say the words I just want some of that dick. Again, in front of me and Neighbor Girl.

D was as calm and gentlemanly as one can be in that situation, at least, I think so.  He turned her down.   However, as a woman, of course that would hurt her feelings and she left to go back into Neighbor #1’s apartment.

Neighbor #1 then proceeds to come running…errrr stumbling out to come “beat up” D for hurting the feelings of her friend.  Oh boy.  She was also still repeatedly saying the word we were trying to get her to STOP saying.

I finally had enough, asked them to relax and quiet down since I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn and came inside.   I’ve listened to them come in and out repeatedly since then and I’m getting irritated.

I miss the other side of the complex.   I miss Miss Gold Tooth.  I miss the Thug Neighbors.  Shit.  I even miss the Bangers who lived next door before this girl moved in.  Crazy shit in this place.

Three nights in a row.   Three nights in a row something strange/weird or scary has happened here.  Hopefully tomorrow night will be better!

Until next time…
