Current mood:  bitchy
So, here's the news for all that the news would not the be news without the news:
For Halloween, me and my homie Chun were suppoed to go be dorks on Monday night with me as the ever-so-sexy Princess Leia, and him as a Geisha Girl... However, he had to work, and Monday I was not in the mood to party anyway... However, Monday night my roomie told me he was throw a giantic costume party, and I decided to attend...
Tuesday night, I rushed home, excited to get as much partying in my costume done before I conked out, as I have made my mind up to go running at 4 AM every morning... I got into my costume and sat watching "Law & Order" on USA for about 2 hours waiting for him to come home... Finally, he got home around 8:00 with a keg, and at 8:30, he cranked up the music... I waited for people to show up . . . and waited... At 9, I went to bed, but found I couldn't sleep because the living room and garage are directly beneath my room, with speakers built into the ceiling; sound is a vibration, so my bed was shaking... I tried to relax and sleep, thinking that at 10 he'd turn the music as Las Vegas city codes specify...
I remember lying annoyed for what seemed like an eternity... More people arrived, the music kept getting louder, shaking harder... I have some industry standard earmuffs, and through them my ears throbbed with the bump-bump-bump and thump-thump-thump of bass... I went downstairs twice and chewed my roomate out about the noise, with him claiming, "I can't turn it off, though!" At around 1 AM, I called the cops and reported the noise and waited... (Yes, I fucking did...) At 1:30 AM, I called back, wondering about when actually they'd show up, given how busy I know this night was... (They claimed I was "next on the list"...) At 2:15 AM the party broke up with the cops nowhere in sight... I called back to cancel, but since everyone had been drinking, the dispatcher told me the cops had to come by to make sure everyone was okay... I have no idea if they actually showed up, because I closed my blinds and went to sleep...
What gets me the most, is I have a few health problems, and generally I manage them without even thinking, I just know how I'm feeling and what I need to do... However, sleep is VERY important to my health... If I don't get enough when I need it, my skin becomes sore, my joints ache and sometimes swell (which can lead to weeks-long episodes of swelling that won't go down), and I can't concentrate at work... So a night when I NEED 8 hours and I get 2 hours, and all because MY DUMBASS ROOMIE IS HAVING THE LAMEST LOUD PARTY ON A TUESDAY NIGHT has me livid... I wanted to slit his throat and listen to the gurgling sounds as his life faded away, but of course I didn't do that... It'll take me 3 days to catch up on sleep now... Fuck....
Now I have two events to make up for: Prom and Halloween... Any takers?
Update, Nov 4: My roomies chewed me out as I got home today because the cops DID show up -- at 4 AM... Apparently the cops laughed their asses off that *I*, another roommate, had called the cops on my own house, and offered to return in 20 minutes after they got off shift to help finish off the keg... My roomies were livid that I didn't tell them that I was calling the cops, but I have to honest, I didn't know what else to do... I asked twice to turn it down, and yes, they were drunk, they taunted me, doesn't make it okay that I couldn't sleep, I was a basket case the next day, and I've been fighting my fibromyalgia daily since... My roommates have volunteered to put me up somewhere if they party in future and they know ahead of time, but still... I felt the cops were the only option...
