* I am up way too early on a Saturday. Brownstone and I are traveling to Delaware to get her fitted for her bridesmaid dress. Yay!! We're getting it done early 'cause my sister-in-law to be is in Atlanta, and we have to bring her dress with us when we go down for my brother's wedding in September. It's a busy year for my mom :) She's, like, sparkling she's so happy.

* We are close to having an all-out war with our neighbors. Now the ones that used to like us hate us. This old dude called J a 'piece of shit' for tossing 'trash' in the alley by our house. Moose was choking on a twig and J pulled it out of his mouth and then put in on the other side of our fence - on our grass still. Trash? J listened calmly while the fucker yelled at him for littering and how we don't live 'in the ghetto' - seriously? - and then J, who has a bit of a nasty temper, told him to 'go fuck himself' and if he ever came near him again he'd 'fucking kill him' and this dude is like 90, so I find that strangely hilarious. We haven't seen him since. I'd be upset if we were a) staying here for life, or b) if he hadn't actually called J a piece of shit, because manners much? What did we ever do to you? Well, besides the whole Moose crippling his wife thing - which was not as funny as it sounds - except that was like, what, almost two years ago? And he's always liked us before. I think the neighbors that have always hated us have been telling tales. Maybe they think he beats me or something? I'm always screaming/laughing, because J likes to pretend his fingers are leeches or otter-paws or something and he attacks me with them, which, okay, makes us REALLY WEIRD, but, dudes, you already knew that. The point is, we're LOUD. I know that. We should not be in this neighborhood, but until we buy our farm or whatever, compound for the zoo, we're stuck.

I'm up early and RAMBLING. Okay, I gotta get dressed and go. I'm aiming towards doing some spring cleaning today, but I'll be on later.

Man, that was two years ago?! It feels like it just happened, like, last summer or...well, more recently, anyway...

Anyway, I'm sorry your neighbors are pieces of shit. Which they are. 'Cause totally you're rubber and they're glue and whatever they say bounces off of you and sticks to them. Buttheads.

*raises cup o' coffee in salute*

When you are surrounded by assholes it makes life hard. I've been there before but not as bad as it sounds like you've got it. I'll keep hoping you, J and the zoo can get out of there ASAP.

Will we get to see the bridesmaids dresses? Are they chartreuse? Is there a BIG bow?

Leeches eh? A sweet talker and a way with the ladies. *g*

Yay for wedding plans and dresses!

Boo for mean neighbors. He got all uppity over a piece of twig? That, like, came from nature? What the hell, man? I don't blame J for getting pissed.

*laughs* You know what should happen now? A shell game!

(And don't worry- the majority of us are just as weird. *grin*)

Wait, you're gonna be in Atlanta in September? How did I not know this?

And I think you need to just move to a bigger house, like one where you'll have a decent sized yard and less space. It seems like everyone in the neighborhood is a busybody at this point. That's so not conducive for you. At all. You need more space, I think. And it's the old lady's husband? Ah, that makes sense then. I mean, think about it. He was probably just pretending to be nice or something.

I know, can you believe it was that long ago? It was like right after we got moose!

I can't wait to get out of here! They are lousy pieces of shit *nods*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

At least J and I aren't social people, so it's not like we're missing the love and want to hang out and bbq with them or something, but it's still annoying *nods*

The bridesmaid dresses are this irredecsent orange and they're buttons down the back and one huge bow - kidding!! They're dark green two pieces, with a poofy pick-up skirt and a simple strapless top.

Oh leeches are just one of the many things he attacks me with. He just grew a beard, so now he's got "beard lobsters"

J couldn't believe it. There is no way he was just angry about the twig, but really we have nothing to do with him on a daily basis... he's across the alley from us, not even on the same street!

Yes! My brother's wedding is Sept 22nd in Atlanta, so I'll be there that entire weekend! I hope the weather's nice!

I don't know. I mean, he was a little strained with us, I guess, but the family always liked us - his son and his priest brother. But you know what, I'm not going to worry about it!

Ooh, it should be cooler there. Not quite hot as normal. Depending on the two weeks before.

Yeah, but he's elderly and Moose nearly killed his wife (never mind, she should have had the sense to NOT try and catch a big dog), at least in his mind. Old people get cranky over the stupidest things.

I really feel for you on the neighbor thing. I live in a duplex, sharing a wall with mine. At least yours don't smoke pot and start drinking at 8am.

Have fun in Atlanta! I'm from Savannah originally but I've been to Atlanta a lot. I hope you get to sightsee a little before or after the wedding.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Savannah! I've been there once :) It was very, very pretty.

old people are seriously cranky *nods*

[veracity]

Tell me about it. I live with one.
