Downhill...
i think my apartments may be going downhill. we're having issues with big parties in the common area late at night and straight through the weekends. then just now i heard something there and checked it. people had thrown lawn chairs into the pool and had stolen or borrowed children's bikes and were messing around with them right by the pool. at one point one of the guys was holding the handle bars and aiming it for the pool and picking it up to let the wheels spin and suspending the bike just above the pool like he was waiting for his buddies to dare him to throw it in.
now i know that people being punks in public isn't necessarily a sign of a bad community, but i guess i've always had bad experiences with places like that. and the people tend to frustrate me. there can be some very consciencious people who throw parties in the common areas. but they seem to be the exception to the rule. generally it's people who want to be as obnoxious as possible and put on a tough stand offish act to prove that they "own" that place. anyway, i guess i wasn't really going anywhere with this other than to bitch for a moment. this place really feels like home to me, and i will be more than a little bitter if i have to move again because this community becomes less safe. so let's hope it doesn't happen!
