ClairE Here the sound travels up. Usually the people above us don't make much noise, but after a month here I did hear strange thumping noises. They weren't sex noises. They were stomping noises, like someone was knocking on the floor so they could come into our room.

I went upstairs and knocked on room 300. A large boy answered.

"Hi, I live right underneath you. Um, I was wondering...I heard these noises coming from upstairs..."

"Oh, I don't live here. [But he was in the room...]
"The guy, he's in the other room over there - want me to go get him?"

"Oh, no, that's okay. I was just wondering...um, maybe the bass on your music is turned up?"

"Let me go ask him." He trots off, and returns.
"Nope, sorry. He doesn't know."

"Well, thank you, anyway." I give up and turn to leave. As he closes the door I realize he is holding a wiffle bat in his hand.

bryanfrbs my dad told me a story of how when he was a little kid, his brother was riding a horse and making fun of my dad because he couldn't ride horses (my dad had braces on his legs when he was a kid to straighten his back). well, my dad got pissed and hit the horse on the butt with a wiffle bat and the horse took off. he would have been ok except for the fact that there was a tree about 10 feet in front of my uncle that had a branch that was right at my uncle's chest level on the horse. well, my dad says, "it was funny for about 2 seconds until my dad got ahold of me. i got in trouble for that one." i love when his stories end in "i got in trouble for that one." 020422
