Oh Happy Day!!

I am now preparing to celebrate! My landlord stopped me in the parking lot yesterday ( I think it was yesterday... these midnights screw up my days big time) and told me that my neighbor is moving!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! Now for those of you who happen upon this site and don't know, my neighbor is probably the worst neighbor imaginable. He and his live-in whatever of the month fight, CONSTANTLY. And yes, we're talking screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs for HOURS (sometimes from 3 in the afternoon until 6 or 7 in the morning). It's a wonder their voices last as long as they do. But, that is not the worst of it. They like to slam everything (including each other) against the walls. It had gotten to the point that I was so sick and tired of it, I told my landlord that if it didn't stop, I was going to have to call the cops. I mean, I could have my TV up as loud as it would go, and I still couldn't hear it over their yelling.... and the room my TV is in is pretty small! Well, apparently he didn't take too well to hearing that he needed to lower the volume... so he started threatening me. He never made good on any of the threats, which I was sort of looking forward to him trying... I just wanted an excuse to kick some ass. But, he is FINALLY leaving and I couldn't be happier about it!! Now I'll have a quiet place where I can work on my WIP in peace. YEAH!!!!

Only one problem with that last bit though.... this morning as I was trying to go to sleep, 2 more characters popped into my head. Main characters to an entirely new story. I jotted down brief descriptions of them and their histories... and a basic jist of the story. But, now I want to work on that one! I hate it when that happens... not to mention that I wanted to take 2 of my secondary characters in my WIP and write a story for them. Grrr. It's so frustrating when that happens! Especially when I know I still have a good bit left to write (not to mention re-write) on my current WIP, which keeps stalling out on me. But I really like the story and the characters in my WIP so I'll keep chugging along... I'm too damn stubborn to let a little writers block get in my way.

Also, another reason to celebrate, I got a letter from the Secret Service today.... more paperwork, but at least it's still moving.... as slow as molasses on the north pole in january, but moving nonetheless. On one hand, I want out of here NOW!! But, on the other hand, do I really want to be running 3+ miles everyday in 100+ degree heat in NM right now? The answer. ANYTHING is better than being here right now.

Well, I'm off to read a little bit. I'm reading Close To You by Christina Dodd at the moment, and I can't seem to put it down for long. It sucked me right in... I wanna know what happens next!
