we recently got new neighbours (it's a guy I actually know from when I was young, plus his wife & child, so it's not like they're total strangers) ... now the thing is, our walls aren't particularly thick. I know for a fact that you can hear me sing from the houses right next to ours.

the neighbours on the left side have said they don't mind it. in fact, their toddler son seems to like it (he's quite the musical guy himself, I hope he grows up to do great things). so that's cool.

the new neighbours on the right side have heard me listening to music before (mostly louder anime stuff, BanDori & Love Live music, that sorta thing) and also said they don't mind that, in fact the guy even said we listen to similar stuff, which is neat. but I do wonder ...

do they regret moving in right next to us when they hear me try to do the last "passionate vooooiiiiiceeee" in PASSIONATE ANTHEM over and over again with limited success? I think I would. I'm so sorry, new neighbours. I promise it's not always like this

this is the reason I don't sing past 10pm even when my parents aren't home. that's the official time after which being loud counts as public disturbance. I know my neighbours wouldn't call the police on me, but I do wanna be nice to them ... the ones on the left always give us cake when they've baked some
