My Neighbor Probably Thinks I am Psychotic

So, I am one of those people that really loves stories. I grew up with books, both reading them and having them read to me. To this day, one of my favourite things is to do while cleaning my room or doing homework is to listen to an audiobook. Usually, I'll go to the library and check one out, but lately I have been listening to some Stephen King novels on youtube.
Now, back in February, a girl moved in next door. We have never really spoken to each other, as we seem to run in different friend groups.
Here is the thing: I'm listening to The Shining and it wouldn't be an issue if 1) the walls weren't as thin as they were and 2) the guy reading the novel wasn't so frigging enthusiastic about reading Jack's malicious threats against his family.
This is how I imagine it was for her:
Le my neighbor doing whatever it is that she does when she is in her room (Probably Tumblr. She looks like a Tumblr Girl).
When all of a sudden...!


Or this one. I'll bet this was odd to hear. I'll probably use this as a sort of template for insulting people from now on.


This one is my personal favourite.

I feel this deserves some explanation. Basically, Danny, the little boy form The Shining, is calling for his friend Richard, whom he calls Dick, to come and help him.  Yeah, it's pretty incriminating.

Anyway, that's why I'm pretty sure it's freaky being my neighbor.
