LOL

Maybe I should make a post like this about my neighbors... you live in an upscale neighborhood.. mine is quite the opposite.

Hilarious.

Once I was playing the grandmother in little red riding hood for my German language training--so, I had on fuddy-duddy clothes, then I got home, ready to change, put on my slippers first, then realized I had forgotten to bring in the mail (I was expecting something). So I run down to get it and oops, I don't have my keys. Which was a problem because I'd shut the front door too. So, me, my fuddy-duddy clothes and slippers, with no money, no phone, (no friends close by) had to walk an hour through the streets of Berlin to my hub's work (centre city).

I might be the butt of some jokes like yours too, LOL. I often wonder what people thought of THAT crazy woman.

But, I dunno, there's something comfortable about having unique people around you (I also had a friend in uni that wore a wizards cloak all the time, he was hiliarious and extremely smart). It makes life more interesting colorful--I mean, it gave you a laugh right? How boring it would be if we're all the same.

Also, I probably grew up as one of those 'weird' people. My dad used to make us be rubbish girls. He and my sister and I would have to go around the community and pick up rubbish--because that's what a good citizen did. Apparently. hehe.

Neeways, thanks for the smile.

You'll be the "Mitchel & Cam" of the neighborhood when you bring back your baby

Lugh - JUST DO IT - I bet it would be quite popular

Antya - Just wait, if you visit, you'll see - **Shakes head in amazement**

Thanks Vic, I suppose we will I can't tell you how MUCH I am looking forward to the day I walk into our house with our daughter. All the stuff I know is coming - no sleep, work etc, I just don't care

I think it's clear that our attempts to move the weirdos out of our town by electing them to Congress is working quite well...thank you very much.

Haha Mike, thanks so much - though I think this might be their family and friends as well. I have seen any Weiner pictures or topless flexing with one arm lately so I think we got rid of a few of them

Not to worry. We have an ample supply of replacements.

Hehe . . . sounds like quite a cast of characters. You can always throw 'em into a story to liven/lighten things up. I like 'borrowing' from real life when I write--there's so much there for inspiration

Ah, neighbors. My neighbor wants me to spend $1000 to remove a tree that fell down in my yard. My tree, fallen in my yard. I'm thinking "f**k it" because I can't even see the damn thing (it's hidden by other trees). He's upset because it ruins his view. When I get home and ask him to pony up half the cost, we'll see how important the view is.

Those aren't jorts. He's a never nude.

Well, I have green hair, wear eye makeup that would scare Alice Cooper, wear only black with slave bracelets and sometimes collars and I have two black cats. The number of kids I have who follow me shouting things like 'missus are you a witch,' or 'didn't you know Halloween is in October?' i think I'd feel right at home in your neighbourhood

Oh, and when I'm walking with my earphones in and music blasting in my ears, the only way i can deal with an almost irresistable urge to sing along is to mouth the words and walk in the rhythm of the song. So yeah...

@Sara - yeah I couldn't make up shit this good, really.

@ Mark - how did my blog turn into your problem?? J/K I'd bet you a couple of beers he ain't gonna agree to pay half - you have to come to DC to collect if you win -

@Dave - - that is all -

@Nephy - Yeah but you don't wave your hand over your food before you eat or make your son grow up in a pub do you? And I am not talking playing air guitar or singing, I'm talking full on, London Philharmonic Conductor style conducting here. however, it is always the same three movements so it must be a VERY lame piece she is conducting

You have described only of few of the DC Area people. I used to work in NW by the Silver Spring and DC boarder and some real unusual people used to come in. No one like you described.

On Sunday's we would get the drunks who would complain the liquor store was closed since DC law prohibits them form being open on Sunday's.

We' would also get those rich people who didn't know how to use their cell phones or their car chargers. This one lady kept returning the car charger saying it wasn't working. I went out to her car and plugged it in and she said... oh you have to plug it in?

The only people I didn't mind who frequented my store were the guys from Walter Reed. They loved to show off those scars.
