Meara, my mind went RIGHT THERE with you!
I had a full expectation of what I was going to see and even considered getting a flashlight to shine on the situation to break them up...my throwing arm would not have been strong enough to heft a pitcher of ice water the 15 feet.
I was so surprised, I couldn't do anything but stare in amazement...and then shout.
My old apartment was first floor, on the alley, when I lived on the Plaza, and it got a LOT of traffic, day and night. I was a night owl, of course, so I saw a LOT. Heard a lot, from fights to sex to peeing, and often would amuse myself by letting people get into whatever they were doing and then, in a bright, curious voice saying "You know, you're peeing/fucking/blowing him right under my window?" usually to horrified shrieks and running away.
Fighting just irritated me, because 9 times out of ten it was a couple fighting and I felt compelled to listen and a few times intervened directly when it got ugly, but mostly ended up hollering something like STFU, people are trying to sleep, often with a Greek chorus of irritated neighbors.
as I remember a friend who lived in Columbia Heights before it was schmancy who had a woman and her john sexing it up under an umbrella on my friend's back porch!
I hope they were using more protection than just the umbrella ....
Toddson, I don't think she looked that close!! The way she tells it, she at first thought it was coming from her roommate's bedroom, then eventually looked out the window...

Same rule as with cats: if you make a baby on my porch, I get to have you neutered.
That's a lovely dream, Connie.
Got two more job rejections today. Neither were from places where I'd even interviewed, but still, that's two more possibilities gone. Still have one more interview coming up, and one place where I had two interviews and no definite response yet. Also signed up with a placement agency for teaching at private schools.
Trying not to panic. I know I made the right decision in not staying at my current job. This is not my corner of the sky.
I don't feel like I've made progress.
I'm sorry, askye. I think some days, just making the attempt is progress.
