anyone who has talked to me in the last year has heard my two cents about the apartment complex i live in. here's a little background info for those who havent heard it yet. i have lived in the University Villa for over three years now. for the first two years i had virtually no complaints. the social aspect was great and i have made lots of friends there. it is a great location even for byu students. it isnt the nicest complex around, but you get what you pay for, right? appearantly not. the original managment sold out to some dumb ____ (insert explitive) and nothing has been up to par since. actually, i have never met the new owner of the place, but he has hired a dozen sets of managers since he took over (they dont seem to last too long anymore). all of which have rubbed me the wrong way more than once. anyway, i could go on and on about the crap residents have had to put up with lately, but i'll save that for another time. time for the real topic--last night.
i guess the villa is hard for cash. they have started renting the place out to random groups of people for short periods and events. kind of like a hotel. except they didnt let the actual residents of the place know about it. i suppose it is no big deal. they can do whatever they want with "their" complex, right? in fact, they have done similar things before and i never noticed it happen. last night was different, however. at about 5pm my roommate pointed out that the pool area (just outside my apartment window) was swarming with 14-18 year old boys and girls. they were everywhere. probably about 50 or so not counting their supervisors. k, problem easily sovled--just stay inside the apartment for a while till they all go home. after all, we have seen lots of random parties show up from other complexes or local neighborhood kids crash'n'trash the place. and why not, its a good pool with an even better hottub next to it. so far i really have nothing to complain about. but this is still just background info.
the real problem started at about 8pm. we were hosting a party in my apartment at this time and had nearly forgotten about the circus outside. and then from out of nowhere we hear freakishly loud music. the kiddy party just got live performers with 3' high speakers pointed directly at our living room window. needless to say, our party was nearly drowned out. so for the next 90+ minutes we got to listen to a black guy and a white chick sing/rap some semi-inspirational music for the kiddies. it is at this point that i realize that this is probably a mini religious conference for youth and that this shin-dig is their treat for not leaving early...
so the villa did it again. they managed to enrage everyone who pays rent money while making some extra cash--all while not even being on the premises at the time. that's right, they weren't even there to supervise or anything. how do i know this? hehe...kat and em (both at our party) and myself decided that we shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy the festivities so forcefully provided for us lowly residents. so we called the villa office and left a few messages full of the great music and cheering that we got to hear all evening. this way they could hear what they missed in the morning. after all, they booked them, so they they must like them too! i left at least two messages myself.
