more new friends!

it's the middle of the night and i'm all pumped up.  i haven't heard my next door neighbor in months, but he came home with a friend a few minutes before 2.  they were having a GOOD TIME and their drunken shouting woke me in a panic - it seemed like it was inside my bedroom.  whichever gland whose job it is to make adrenaline really did its job (i forget my hunter s. thompson - was it pituitary gland?  probably "adrenalic gland" or something)   anyway, i went next door and knocked, and when a little eye came to the door i asked it to keep it down.  and the little eye was polite and said it was "so sorry" in a very midwestern accent, which made me smile.  so now i'm back in bed and trying to calm my heart enough to sleep.  nothing like making friends with the neighbors in the middle of the night.
