Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.

Ugh, I hate how long daz takes to cancel renders, sometimes it's almost easier to shut down the thing manually. lol
On a brighter note, I have not made a single fantasy render really in ages, but picking back up EQ2 I have had so many ideas flowing through my head that I actually even wrote them down and made tiny sketches! lol
I have a few images going for my steamy event person, too.
Both are wonderful inspirations! :D

The snow, it did not go away... it came, it dumped all over us, knocked the power out for about 24 hours in our area. I do not care for this white mess of coldness, no I do not!

*hugs eve* The snow came here too. My marvelous ex-marine neighbor somehow managed to slip his wife's leash and tunnel me out a driveway from the street to my garage. Yay for not being trapped. And yay for havng a kind neighbor. I'd so bring him a pie if it wouldn't get me (and him) in trouble.
And I have to say yay yet again to the character Syndori's eyes. They look gorgeous in Studio and have yet again saved me. That's probably in the top 10 most useful purchases ever category.

I don't really get her. She was nice enough to me when we moved in but after my husband got sick and fell behind on the outside chores (because of chemo) and then when he passed away she turned mean. She's called the city on me in the past because my lawn wasn't cut, and while it didn't look good it didn't look bad. She's called the city on me because my trash can was outside overnight and not in my garage. She's called the police because I came home at 3 am. She's just mean. Her husband on the other hand is really rather nice and does little things to help me. He's jumped my car, helped me change a lightbulb and lent me tools. He doesn't acknowledge her meanness, or apologize for it. And he's like in his 50s so it's not like I'd wanna do him or anything. Even if he wasn't married.
The weirdest thing though is that I've seen him outside my bedroom window gardening when I was sleeping. He's trimmed my bushes there...but only when I'm asleep. Not that he can really see anything though the sheers and with me clothed but.... He's a nice guy though.

WTF? lol
I hate people like this. Sometimes I wonder if these people just sit by their window and watch all day for somebody to break some minor infraction. In my neighborhood when I was growing up, there were people who would literally drive around looking for violations to report to the community... and they didn't work for them. They were just nosy fuckers with nothing better to do than try to make other people miserable by pointing out that their fence was 6" taller than neighborhood regulations allowed.
Once I was walking down the sidewalk in another neighborhood, and a woman came running - literally, running - out of her house, which was 4-5 houses down and on the other side of the street, to ask me what I was doing. Um... I'm minding my own business. WTF are YOU doing? Bitch!

I stand by my statement. I hate my neighbors because I follow the rules, they should too. I could care less about their yard though, I'm talking about fucking parking on it. =( However, your neighbor might be jealous that her husband does shit for you and probably not for her. =x Whatever time you come home is none of their damn business. Personally, I'd confront the husband about him being by your window and why his wife is a c8nt. =x But I enjoy confrontation.

My neighbors are so great it's unsettling. It's like Norman Rockwell around here. I think a lot of it has to do with space and privacy - we can all be civil to each other because we all have our own little area and we can pretty much do whatever we'd like with it. So if you want a huge privacy fence or a hedge of 20ft trees (which my neighbor on one side has), you can do that and it's not a big deal. But at the same time, if you're in a situation like this blizzard, you know that people are going to take responsibility as much as they can to handle their business, but also they will help out their neighbors. It's a great mix of privacy and friendliness/helpfulness without being invasive. And that attitude is a much more compelling motivator to make your part of the neighborhood nice than passive aggressive notes and nasty behavior.

Where I lived in Texas - You can walk outside in your underwear to get the news paper and mail and nobody would even give you a second glance.
Ok, so I lied...some....its not quite like that....but people there really dont give a fuck what you do. I threw many a wild ass beer party in my yard with loud ass music until 6am and my neighbors sometimes came over and joined us.

While my neighbors aren't quite Rockwell perfect, for the most part they're like this. We all tend to keep to ourselves, but are friendly when we meet outside. We all have different ideas about our yards, but we keep them nice and respect those who live around us. Yet there still is a sense that if something happened to someone, we'd all rally.

My neighbors were great until their dogs attacked a little kid down the street and it some how got blamed on my kids....even though they weren't home at the time. It resulted in a good screaming match with me telling my neighbor where she could stick it. They pretty much leave us alone now. Which is fine by me.

I live in the most densely populated part of the country, so I don't have any good house and yard stories, but my upstairs neighbors come over for dinner on a regular basis and vice versa, and there's always an open invitation for birthdays and New Years (if either of us is there).
My neighbors downstairs don't speak much German (and I probably don't know ten words in Turkish), so there's not much contact there, but we're friendly if we meet on the stairs.
This mean old lady lived next to my family when I was a kid, though, and she was a bitch to everyone. I hated the hell out of her!

That seems a wee bit creepy that he trims your shrubs while you're sleeping. lol Locks on the windows, I hope? :P

Haha, that seriously is kinda creepy. Even creepier is the way he sings that Whitney Houston song from "The Bodyguard" in a shaky falsetto while trimming them.

I hate my neighbors... Son of a bitch put a note on my front door that if my dogs got into his yard again he was going to shoot them. His wife emailed to appologize but since then.. yeah, if looks could kill that SOB would be 6 feet under. And on the other side they have big dogs always trying to dig under the privacy fence to get to mine. Barkfest of snarls and growls the second mine are out. Needless to say my dogs aren't let outside to do anything other than nature's biz and always under supervision.
Oh yeah... my mom has had the same neighbors for decades... on one side they are constantly calling the city for any wild thing they can think of. My mom has figured out when to expect it because she'll see them out cleaning their yard up over the weekend and then that week someone shows up. Hell one time a sheriff showed up because they reported my mom as having 10 rotweilers in her yard! And her neighbor on the other side? That would be the drunk lady and her crazy drunk SOB boyfriend who has tried to run my mom off the road and who attacked my sister's ex with a machette. Who the frickin DA gave probation to. O.M.F.G.
