To Whom It May Concern at Gossip! Live:
First off let me say that I am a huge fan of your talk show. I watch it every day! I'm excited to finally be able to write you for something going on in my life, so that maybe I can even get to come be on it! My name is Michelle Middleton, and I'm in my mid 40's. Your show has changed my life!
The subject is weird and crazy neighbors- well let me tell you I have definitely got some of those. I live in Sunnydale, California; in a quaint little neighborhood on a quiet little street called Revello Drive. Or it used to be quiet anyway. Until the Summers family moved in next door.
It started out with Buffy, the oldest daughter, sneaking out of her room to walk the streets at all hours of the night. How much acid was her mom Joyce on in her younger days to name a child Buffy anyway? Sometimes I have wondered if Buffy was a hooker, cause she always walked around like she had nothing but time, and is trying to bait someone into “stumbling” upon her. And sometimes this creepy older looking brunette guy would sit at her bedroom window in the middle of the night and draw pictures of her when she did stay at home.
So after that went on for a while, she eventually didn't need to sneak out anymore. As it turns out the apple must not have fallen far from the tree in that family because then this old dude named Giles started coming around a lot, and Buffy just left out the front door then. I guess her mom had things of her own to do. But sometimes he was with Buffy, and that was more bizarre. And her friends were wild, even though they look kinda nerdy at first. Most nights you can hear yelling and banging, and the house getting torn to shreds from partying. Especially on Tuesdays, there was always windows getting broken out then. The redheaded girl would lose control of her huge furry dog Oz (which I guess she named after the quiet guy, go figure) and chase it down the street and even have to tranquilize it to get it back. I wonder if the vet approved?
Then, Buffy went off to college and I thought the neighborhood would settle down again. She seemed to be acting more normal, and was even dating a nice normal looking guy named Riley. Boy, was I wrong. Even when Buffy wasn't home her slutty looking friend in the leather pants came over to party with Joyce and the cops got called that night. Buffy finally dropped out of college I guess, cause she came back home. Then along came her sister Dawn out of NOWHERE! I guess she had lived with her dad, and he got tired of Joyce not paying attention to her and sent her there to live. And Wow was she loud and screechie, even for a teenager. I guess she drove poor Joyce over the edge and was one of the reasons she overdosed on whatever kind of drug it was she did. Buffy found her dead on the couch one day. It was pretty sad, and you'd think she would learn a lesson from that but she didn't. I guess Riley did though cause he left. Buffy probably cheated on him with the peroxide blond Billy Idol wanna-be.
A little while later, Buffy got shipped off to rehab for a while and left Dawn to stay with the two lesbians she let move in with her after Joyce died. One of them was the little redhaired girl. I don't know what ever happened to that big dog, but I guess she tranquilized it one too many times. The other one seemed really nice though. She always said hi to me.
When Buffy came back from rehab, Billy Idol was always hanging around. She was moody too from withdrawal, cause they always punched and kicked each other. I thought about calling the cops, but she dished it out just as much as she took it. Sometimes it even appeared she had the upper hand. I decided not to get involved. He would stand outside her place and smoke cigarettes half the night like some creeper. I guess he was trying to get back into her good graces cause he would even sneak to the back door in the daytime wearing a blanket. How covert that was, especially when he was smoking underneath there. I think he smoked cloves too, cause you could hear the sizzle, and it reeked something awful. Or maybe he was a heroin addict and was cold all the time, and she wouldn't let him in so she wouldn't be tempted.
I guess she ended up not able to fight it, cause I swear I saw them doing the hippity dippity (as the younger ones say) out by the tree in the front yard one night! Ewww, you have neighbors you know!
Also, one of the lesbians got shot and killed in the backyard one day. It was the nice one. I bet that was over drugs. How sad.
Lately things have been the same as ever, only there's a lot of people randomly starting to show up there. They are all younger females too, every single one-which is kind of creepy. They seem like runaways. And the leather pants chic also showed back up. Sometimes they line up in the backyard and practice punches and kicks and beating things up. I don't know what they are doing, but you never can tell with drug heads. Maybe they have delusions of making a slut- militia or an escort service that can defend itself. I don't know. But that's my story... I hope you found it as entertaining as it is true. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!
