shitty neighbors

i never thought i'd be one to complain, but this is really starting to get to me.

there's this VIBRATION that just overtakes everything in my apartment. it started last saturday in the bedroom, and at first it was only for about an hour and half, then graduating to lasting all night. well, yesterday it moved out to the living room, where it happened all day, and i finally went upstairs to confront the person living above me. he, of course, was the semi-cute tennessee guy, and insisted nothing was going on. it was true, i didn't hear it up there. but i came back down, and it was still there.

well, i come home today to find it still going, and WORSE! now it's throbbing like a fucking heartbeat and i feel like i'm in some goddamn edgar allen poe story. i have no clue what to do. and it's not that audible either. it's just...VIBRATING. it gets inside my head and just fills it. my walls are fucking moving. it's driving my cat nuts too. but i have no idea who or what it could be.

i can't be the only experiencing this.

it sounds like a fountain or aquarium pump, or one of those home spa foot soakers. but it's getting really fucking bad.

    The guy upstairs could be running a liposuction clinic out of his home. Perhaps the sound you're hearing is the pumping of human fat. I hope he's got a good collection device. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see any mysterious seepage coming down through your ceiling...

        Is there a generator of some kind in your building? My room vibrates sometimes. It took me a year to figure it out. I live about the boiler room. duh, heehee!

          but see, it just started. wouldn't it have been going for a while now? i dunno. i'm frustrated. tmrw i'm gonna go visit the little old lady downstairs and see if she notices it. if it's a repeating thing, maybe she'll know about it; she's been here for a while.
