1-We call her "Top Ramen"
2-She lives alone and has long, dark, very 80s-ish permed hair.
3-One night at midnight the fire alarm for the entire building was set off. When this happens they vacate the building and everyone meets out on the lawn. Well, Top Ramen was one of the last ones out and they were still trying to make sure everyone was out of the building. She came out quite confused and asked, "Do they know who set off the alarm?" One of our other neighbors answered, "No." Top Ramen then replied, "Well, I cooked some Top Ramen at about 10 so I hope it wasn't me." WHAT!!??!! What? What a weird thing to say that makes absolutely no sense. Hence, the name Top Ramen.
4-When Top Ramen vacuums, she means business! She will vacuum FOREVER!!!! We can't even believe it. I almost feel like I should time it. As soon as we hear her vacuum turn on, we look at each other and say, "oh no!" It is a ridiculous amount of time spent vacuuming! I'm sort of curious as to what exactly is taking her so long. I mean, with as often as she does it, her floor could not possibly be THAT dirty.
5-Every once in a while we here a lot of jumping.
Our assumption: She is working out.
Our theory became more evident last weekend. We were getting ready to leave and she had been jumping around, or whatever, for a while....when all of the sudden....rap music began blasting! Not just any rap music, more like 80s-90s "Baby Got Back" type of music. I couldn't quit laughing. It was soooooo loud! It sounded like it was coming from inside our apartment. Had my video camera not had a dead battery I would have filmed it...I almost feel as though she is a fictional character that you have to see to believe...kind of like Margaret from Nottingham, although not quite as great. I have yet to see her dance.
Oh Top Ramen....thank you for making our stay at Logan Pointe so enjoyable.

Love it. I think you should just go up there and ask her why she vacuums for so dang long and what is with all that jumping! Tell her as her floor-below-neighbor, you have a right to know!!
Power to the people!!
(i don't know, just seemed appropriate)
Ooooh I'm sorry. Although those are always good stories to tell, I bet it sometimes sucks to live through them :p.
Why aren't people considerate when the know they have neighbors below?
You and Jared should have a new "Hit the Ceiling With a Broom" game....
That's hilarious. We have some nightmare neighbors above us that only seem to rouse at about 11:00 pm in which some weird popping/banging sound begins (we suspect meth construction). Isn't apartment living great? By the way, love the Margaret shoutout
OMGlee that was funny. I feel as if you and Top Ramen should become good friends. ha ha. seriously though. Also, why did you have to remind me of Margs dancing? I have scary images in my head now. :)
Oh, Margaret! Those were good times. You definitely had to meet her to believe that she was for real. We had neighbors in our last apartment that would start vacuuming at 11:30 at night.
Gotta love neighbors! At least it is somewhat amusing things that annoy you. We had to very LARGE NEWLY-WEDS above us at our old apartment......Don't need to say more do I??
Next time you see Top Ramen, give her a High 5 and tell her she motivates you with all her vacuuming!!!
