My neighborhood can rest a little more peaceful tonight.
Seems like one of the proven "idiots" this street has ever known has split up with his wife and taken his kids on the road, leaving a new "beau" for the woman that still lives there. For that, I couldn't be happier.
There are some neighbors here who haven't even taken the time to know my roommate & myself, and we've been here 3 1/2 years. Yet because it's two men in the same house, they think the thoughts that others (including you) might think.
Don't even think it. Nothing is happening here. My roommate has a fiancee in the Phillippines, and I am busy either clamoring for a girl (Raquel), or in rumors of being with one (Deana). We are as normal as can be. But it's interesting that conclusions are being drawn without those neighbors getting the facts from us. And it's a sad commentary on the state of the world and how paranoid it must be if minor issues like that are blown out of proportion and result in arguments with other neighbors.
We keep to ourselves here and try to maintain the house without causing trouble. Though we talk a lot, we have only a small stable of friends we talk to regularly. We don't go spreading dirty laundry - now why do they?
I feel better knowing that the across-street neighbor in question has apparently moved on. I've heard he's spied on other neighbors for no reason at all. The feeling of being watched is mortifying. And if he's preying on someone, I say let his new neighborhood handle it, and hopefully do something about it.
Too many bells have been ringing in our direction about nonsense issues. It's a good thing one less bell is chiming in our direction now.
