I don't know what the subject is

floatingleafSo, last night, around 10 p.m., as I was sitting here enjoying the peace and quiet, there was a sudden burst of angry shouting from somewhere nearby, followed by what sounded like gunshot. See, I wasn't even 100% sure it was gunshot, because I don't think I've ever actually heard gunshot in "real life" (as opposed to in movies). But it must have been, because soon after there came the unmistakable sound of police sirens in the distance, drawing closer. And even before that, I saw two guys running along the little back street that my front window is facing. They might have actually run out of MY building - though I'm not sure of that, because from my window I can't see the entrance. And, some time later, there was a car parked down there by the garbage cans that looked like a police car with its lights turned off. It seemed like someone was just sitting there in the darkness, watching. And that was it. I didn't see or hear much else. I don't know what happened. I'm not sure I want to know. But whatever it was, it happened really close - either in my building or the one next to it, or one of the other apartment buildings right across the street.
So much for living in a quiet neighborhood.:/
Speaking of which - right now it's not so quiet either. Someone's having a party in another wing of my building, right across the back yard, where the little balconies between the back staircases are directly facing the kitchen windows on my side. There is a veritable havoc of screaming children, barking dogs and people talking so loud I feel like they are right there in my kitchen.:(
It is strangely comforting, though. I mean, if someone got killed next door last night, they wouldn't be having a party now, would they??? At least I hope not. *sigh*
On a side note, today was the first really warm, sunny, breezy, gorgeous day this year. So I went shopping for summer clothes (I still don't know at this point if everything from last year is going to fit, and it's better to be safe than sorry ;). And I just have to say that shopping with a credit card is WAAAY to easy. I mean, I usually pay with cash, reserving my credit card for online purchases; but today I didn't have enough cash on me to pay for the two nice blouses I wanted, so I used the card. And, honestly, I don't even know how much I spent, because all the cash that was in my wallet is still there.:P A dangerously easy way to go bankrupt without even realising when or how, isn't it?...
Huh. A pretty pointless post, I'd say. I've just been feeling extremely uninspired lately, for some reason. Even porn doesn't do much for me anymore.:P Actually, I was watching some the other day, and I had this moment of complete, total puzzlement as to WHY I was doing that. I mean, why would I even want to look at some stranger's genitals?... It's pretty disgusting, to be honest. Regardless of gender and sexual orientation, I might add.
Don't get me wrong. I am NOT going to stop reading slash. And if someone ever made a porn flick with Viggo and Orlando in it, I would be delighted, because they are not strangers to me. Same with the fics, whether FPS or RPS; I love sex between my beloved characters, which is a physical expression of their feelings for each other within the story. But to watch two random guys going at it, with no plot, rhyme or reason behind the mindless, repetitive and oh-so-predictable moves?... OMG boring. *yawns*
Not that I'm really surprised at having this kind of reaction. That's exactly the reaction I would have expected of myself. The funny thing is, for the past few months I have seemed to think/feel quite the opposite. Was I just going through a phase?... *ponders*
Anyway. No time for more deep musings.;) The party next door is over (*huuuge sigh of relief*), and I need to hit my pillows. Let's hope no one in the neighborhood feels compelled to use their gun tonight.:(
