drip, drip, drip, drip...

what's the most annoying sound you can think of? quick, just off the top of your head. the sound of water unremittingly dripping outside of your window when you're trying to fall asleep? weird, that's what i came up with, too!

but it's not just a water drop - it's a water drop echoing through a freaking drain on the side of a building or some nonsense like that. the first night i heard it i thought i was losing my mind; either that or some one was playing a cruel joke on me. but night after night after night i hear it. no one else hears it from their rooms - Nikki and Danielle thought i was making things up. but i'm not. i have to leave my tv on all night to mask that repetitive, mind numbing, soul defacing sound. and it doesn't happen during the day. i work at home, my desk is right by my open window - NOTHING. then the sun sets and it begins.

maybe it's really the neighbor who hates us (he thinks we dented his car with an empty beer can...) attempting his version of Chinese water torture. maybe i should really go throw beer cans at his car. full ones...
