When we first moved in, the couple on the other side were preparing to put their house for sale. It sold in 1 day and they moved within 3 weeks of us moving in. It's too bad, because they seemed like people my fiance and I would get along great with. Unfortunately the couple that bought that house is very bizarre and we've had very little interaction since they first moved in. They live action Harry Potter role playing the backyard....
That. Is. Amazing.
So much more interesting than my neighbor that I only see when he's out struggling to cut his grass with his corded electric lawn mower. I *wish* I could get that much entertainment from my neighbors.
You definitely need to liquor yourself up one day and go join them and then report back. Just think of it as learning/experiencing a different culture. An anthropological experiment? Who knows, maybe you'll have such a great time that you join the local LARPing circuit!
