Living Above The Sopranos

ophelia by ophelia · Sep 9, 2004 · 314 views · Journal

Yeah..This is crazy

Alright, so, as some of you are aware, me and two fella's just got an apt, which in itself is awesome, fine, and dandy...but, there are some VERY peculiar occurences that go along w/this story of new found apartmentship...

We started getting suspicious, when, we first interviewed with the landlady, Leemi(WHAT KINDA NAME IS THAT?...)...5'7, bleach blonde, hair extensions, implants, facial surgery, this woman's basically a poor man's Pamella Anderson - and this in itself obviously got our attention, and then some..No, we dont think she's attractive, but, she ended up being the butt end of many stripper jokes..anyway

So during the interview, her mafia-stereotype of a boyfriend walks in, sits on the couch across from us,REFUSES to make eye contact w/us, and every so often would inject with a "Leemi, shut up for a sec - so, you guys eh, you plan on being here long term eh?..This is SERIOUS right?..No horsin around, you're here for the long haul right?"...And me & matt are like "uhh, yyyyeah?"..It went well...Well, as good as it could of gone..On the way out, we noticed a large fur coat on the wall(this, just adding fuel to our over active imaginations)....So, she gives us the place, the next morning, without even doing a background check(something that 11 of the 12 previous landlords required)..And she seems like she needs the money like, right THEN AND THERE, she's in a big hurry...So - we're analyzing all this, and, something is definitely fishy..

And then, yesterday...

Joey's in there loading furniture into the living room - and he hears a car pull up in the drive way - it's the boyfriend, in his corvette(we've counted 4 cars between the 2 of them so far)...So, joey looks out the window outa curiosity - and he sees the boyfriend open the trunk and call the bimbo over - her eyes get big, her mouth opens, and she puts her hands on her head...Whats in the trunk, can't be seen from Joey's vantage point, but, whatever it was messed her up..So, she reaches into the trunk, and the b/f starts yelling obscenities at her, and corrects her as to how to handle whatever was in there, and proceeds to shut the trunk...Yo..I'm scared...Add to this, the fact that, there were 3 girls living in the apartment before us, we met these girls, when we first went in for the interview, and asked them why they were leaving after being there for only a year - they wouldn't tell us...Come to find out, they only moved 3 minutes away, so, it makes it seem like, they weren't trying to get outa the area, just, outa that place..WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON???..I do NOT want to end up w/concrete shoes at the bottom of the hackensack river, for seeing something, i wasn't supposed to see..anybody have any, um, advice?..haha...cause, something illegal, is definitely going on downstairs..

Hahaha I mean, sorry about your apt man. That sucks. Ok, where exactly are you living?? And why didn't you allow your spidey sense to tell you this was a BAD idea from the get-go?

rocksupastar #2 rocksupastarFounder

haha... hmm maybe he bought a computer... i know if i bought one and brought katie down to see it, she would do the same thing... then maybe put a cap in my head...

thatdarngirl #3 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Sorry to hear this..but only for Matt and Joey's sake. If I was still allowed to come over I would use my crazy detective skills and figure this all out. But now..yah know.

ophelia #3.1 opheliaOG 2003

what are you talking about?...they signed the restraining order too!

web-toedchloe #4 web-toedchloeOG 2001

If you're seriously concerned, don't be. I used to live in a very Italian neighborhood outside Newark and crazy stuff went on all the time. Those girls probably moved out because they were lame girls. I thought you guys were men!

ophelia #4.1 opheliaOG 2003

well, i actually think the whole situation's kinda funny..i've just never been acquainted w/the whole, mafia thing....i hope like, a deal doesn't go bad down there or something and somebody has to get "whacked"...as long as they keep their bullets downstairs, i guess it's ok

juicymango #4.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

haha what are their names? I know a ton of real mob family names since my boss defends them all. Let me know and i'll look it up.

ophelia #4.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

Well our landlady's name is Leemi Weiss - but she's just the bimbo girlfriend, I think her boyfriend's where the trouble comes from, and I have no clue what his name is

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

ahh.. look out for Merlino, Natale.. um.. i can't think of any other ones right now but those ones .. stay away from haha

malibu #4.1.1.2 malibuOG 2001

by just living there you aren't doing anything. but if you're worried ask the girls that moved out.

but follow this advice: don't do any favors for "the family" or anything that would allow you to become "better aquainted" or give them any reason to use the phrase "you are the only one we trust."

web-toedchloe #4.1.2 web-toedchloeOG 2001

I think it's all good. I'm sure it won't hurt to play Italian opera once in a while. Make them think you're part of the family. :)

ophelia #4.1.2.1 opheliaOG 2003

ummm, have you met me??

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

No - does that mean you're blatently Italian? Or blatently not-italian?

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

that's actually how i was about to describe myself...except not at all

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

I didn't mean any disrespect. Italian is a state of mind, not a color of skin.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

disrespect?...haha,no, i know, i wasn't even goin there....schiano's the one who's always playin the race card..haha

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 yay

Well, kinda....Afterhours, dan goes by the name, Captain Chicita, taking a bite out of crime/burritos(cause,I mean, they're so closely related)...His super-weapons include his handy Tortillas Of Truth(he throws'm at bad guys, and somehow they magically make them confess as to their evil doings), Sombrero Bombs,Morroca Grenades and, Flying Paparizzi Chiwawas that soar high in the earth's atmosphere, and provide for him satilite imagery of his arch enemies wearabouts

yay yayOG 2004 ophelia

ah right, mexican wrestler

fivezero #5 fivezeroOG 2003

threaten your landlord. show him you're not scared. wave a large calibur pistol in his face. then give him a WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE DIES brochure and ask him "is this really what you want?"

ophelia #5.1 opheliaOG 2003

hahahahaa...right, cause...if there's one thing a mob boss fears, it's religious pamphlets that hint to their demise...

superhero #6 superheroOG 2004

originalsnob #12.1.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Nope, just the Italian maffia is the one I've always been facinated by... it's like WHO CAN TAKE US! I know I know this is odd, I'm rooting for the wrong team :-D
