Guess it had to happen eventually...

missroserose11:30 PM: Take shower.
11:45 PM: Get into bed (new 540 thread count sheets yay!). Play Puzzle Quest for DS.
12:08 AM: Joined in bed by Brian. Put away DS and snuggle down for night.
12:15 AM (estimated): Fall asleep.
01:49 AM: Jolted out of sleep by thumping and muffled screams coming from upstairs.
01:50 AM: Thumping stops, screaming and yelling continues.
02:05 AM: Yelling seems to die down some. Angry voices still heard, along with heavy footsteps.
02:12 AM: Angry voices replaced with hysterical crying. Am having uncomfortable flashbacks to childhood.
So...I guess it was only a matter of time before we eventually got neighbors that woke us up fighting in the middle of the night. *sigh* I miss Jeremy & Candy, our previous upstairs neighbors. Sure, they gave off vibes of "oppressively wholesome", but at least they were quiet, and fun to talk to. We had some college-age folk move in a few months ago, and they're mostly okay (some noise from games/wrestling/whatever but it's mostly kept to a reasonable hour). In their defense, this is the first time this has happened. But sheesh. These apartments are actually fairly well insulated - they must be being awfully darn loud.
(For the record, yes, I am listening for sounds of physical violence, and am perfectly prepared to call the police if such occur. But it sounds like it's gone from the angry stage to the hysterical crying stage, and unfortunately police are unlikely to intervene in cases of merely emotional/mental abuse. Maybe we need a Crisis Relationship Counseling Squad to take care of things like this? I feel bad for them, but I lived through the whole trying-very-hard-to-sleep-while-people-are-arguing-loudly thing once already. Don't really want to repeat it.)
