cranky neighbour - 07:12 PM
(filed under 'general')

well, karaoke vampire boy has definitely gone, but i still have a neighbour who gets on my nerves a fair bit. this one is over the back fence.

she doesn't play loud music, but instead is so often yelling at her kids. she's obviously stressed because no one talks to their kids like that unless they're not dealing well with some aspect of their life. it really negs me out. it's a nice relief when she actually talks to them in a normal & friendly tone of voice.

one thing it has done is to make me listen more to how i speak to smiley, especially when i'm a bit stressed because he's trying to assert his will or some such thing. when i first heard her talking like that, i realised that i was doing the same thing occasionally. i don't want anyone to hear me with smiley & think the things that i think when i hear her talking that way.

i finished all the painting yesterday & this morning (well, yesterday morning really, since it's now after midnight) they were dry enough to put together. so here's the finished product:
