Going insane

necro_time
I woke up crying this morning.
Owl was vacuuming.
At fucking 8:30 in the morning.

Oh, well, he's an early bird kind of person.

He doesn't come home till 1am either.
He can't be both an early bird and a night owl.

I'm exhausted. I don't sleep at all, sleeping in the living room is out, but if I sleep in the bedroom I get woken up at 8 on the dot because of the TV he has in his room.

I can't go on like this. I don't mind the noise during the day. I can play music, netflix whatever. But at night, that noise. And it's not like boom shakalakalaka noise, it's just this tiny little hum, like a mosquito constantly in your ear.
Nothing bad for some people who are used to living with others, but me? If I've ever been serious about suicide, I swear to all the Gods that this would be the week.

There is conceivably no way I can tell him to shut the hell up, because he's not making a lot of noise. Just noise to piss me off. I've been wanting to tell him, "You know, every little noise you make up there, I can hear. I know when you take your shower, I know that you play the TV or radio every morning at 8am to wake up. I know you were playing techno music at 12:30 at night last Monday. Your tv or radio or whatever the hell is over my bedroom. Please do not play it after 10am and certainly not the hell before 9am. I sleep until 9. I don't care if you're up at 8, but you need to wake up more quiet if you do. 9-5, you got that Owl? 9-5. Those are my hours. Abide by the hours. If you don't? I start sending you my Data fiction and so help me I'll start putting incest in there just to fuck with you. Don't think I won't either!"

...I'm rambling. Oh gods...please, God please, kill Owl. So he'll move out, haunt the place and no one will move in upstairs.
Better yet, have the school find out I have enough credits to graduate and let me move from this godforsaken city back to Anaheim. So I can curl back up into my own bedroom in beautiful silence.

:( Have you thought about setting "quiet hours" for the house? Maybe 10 PM through 10 AM?

Also, how do you think you'd do with a white noise machine? I've got one that I use during the winter (in the summer I run a fan at night) and it's made a huge difference in how often I wake at night due to house noises, kids turning over, etc.

The problem is that this isn't really a house. It's an apartment complex and he lives in the apartment above me. While the complex has said "please be cautious with noise after 10pm and before 8am". I could always tell him politely that this bothers me, but he doesn't have to follow it.

The white noise machine would be the best solution. If it weren't for the fact that we have one. And my hearing is so acute to the point where I can separate out the sounds (in other words, hear the white noise machine AND the hum) although I might want to try it again. And I think I will tonight.
Thanks for the advice. It helps. ^_^
