So, a few days ago I told you guys about my obsession with all things space-related (yes, that includes David Bowie and Buzz Lightyear).
Last night, the planet Mars was shining a beautiful red colour above my house. In my excitement, I went to grab my binoculars to get a better look.
My house is a semi-detached and I might have mentioned that I don’t really get on with my neighbour (who refuses to acknowledge my cheerful “hellloooo” every morning. Now I just say things like “tabby cat” or “speedo wedgie” to illicit a response. Nothing). Last night, the best view of Mars that I could get with my binoculars was from my back garden, just above my neighbour’s roof.
I peeked through the binoculars, trying to get the focus right. That’s when I heard a really loud cough, and realised that to an observer of my antics, it may have appeared that I was spying on my neighbours in their top floor bedroom from my back garden. With binoculars. Hence my neighbour’s exasperated cough from above.
While I legged it inside (you know, the natural thing to do when you are trying to look less suspicious), I mumbled “I was looking at Mars. Not you guys. Mars.”
So I think it’s safe to say if my neighbours thought I was weird before, they now think I’m completely insane. And related to Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. Great.
That was definitely awkward!
And illegal. I’m probably on some kind of list now.
Haha too funny. I found you on OM Meet and Greet, looking forward to some more laughs.
Thank you! A great place to meet some new faces 🙂
That’s where I think I stumbled upon your blog as well! This made me LAUGH and I LOVE the picture. LOL
Haha, thanks! This post could have gone either way, I’m glad I haven’t scared anyone 🙂
Lol
LMAO! Reminds me of Julie’s former peeper neighbor!
The important thing is, that definitely was not me 😀
lol!
Ha! Funny. I’m a stalker, too. The problem I’m having is that most people are scarier than me. I haven’t quite figured out how that works. It’s really hard to be a proper stalker without that fear element. I’m thinking about getting a clown mask.
A clown mask or a doll costume, either way. Also, photo bombing family pictures with the most serious of expressions is terrifying for people
Hehe we have had the same issue! Except my husband has this huge telescope so the neighbors across the street sometimes come out on their porch and just stare at us.
Good to know I’m not alone! The worst part is I reeeally want a telescope but my neighbours will probably take out a restraining order if I do haha!
Ha ha ha 😀 this will be like a funny situation but have a meaningful meaning. Misunderstanding is the key word
Exactly. Although my neighbours aren’t very approachable so I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to explain!
Yes, that’s always the problem. Upon interaction with you, I begin to remember some of my weird curiosity and actions causing misunderstanding
Oh no awkward! So now you are the crazy lady that says “speedo wedgie” and spys on neighbors! Ahh it made me laugh though.
I know. But hey, being normal would just be boring for me haha
A you’re a total creeper end I dig it and B does your love of all things since related extend to Space Jam? Best movie everrrrrr
Totally! Space Jam is amazing haha!
Mars, huh? Sure…I believe you…really ::backs away slowly::
😉
Hahaha, that’s probably what my neighbours do when they see me!
