  • Hey again. You might remember me from my last post (apparently was removed lol) where my neighbor Celeste tried to "reserve" the moonlight in my backyard.
  • Her daughter could film a TikTok dance. If you thought it ended there... buckle up. So I thought things had cooled off. I hadn't seen much of them.
  • for about a week, and I figured they realized how ridiculous the whole thing was and moved on. But nope, apparently Celeste just shifted into passive- aggressive offense mode.

  • A few nights ago, I'm doing my usual backyard routine nothing crazy, just sitting with a drink, light music on my Bluetooth speaker (like super chill, not a party or anything).
  • Around 9:30 PM, I get a text from my landlord. He's like, "Hey, just wanted to check in, your neighbor Celeste reached out and said you've been 'disrupting her daughter's creative projects at night.'

  • She asked if I could remind you to be mindful of noise and backyard lights." Y'all. I live in a duplex-style rental, and we don't share a yard. We share a fence.
  • And my lights are solar fairy lights that barely outshine the moon she was trying to claim. So I call my landlord and explain the full situation. To his credit, he just laughed

  • and said, "Okay yeah, that's... not really a landlord issue." But he told me to just keep things respectful and document anything weird in case it escalates. So I go back outside.
  • Five minutes later, Celeste steps out into her yard and stands there - just stands facing my yard with her phone out. Not filming, not talking. Just staring.
  • Like a less fun version of The Blair Witch Project. Her daughter came out too, clearly trying to set up her phone for another attempt at the whole moonlight dance thing.

  • But after like 3 minutes of side-eye and me doing absolutely nothing except existing, they both stormed back inside. I heard the daughter say, "There's no point, the mood's already ruined."
  • So now I'm the official Ruiner of Vibes™, apparently. No more direct confrontations since, but I feel like I'm living in a very weird, very suburban standoff over literal moonlight.
  • Moral of the story: you never know when your backyard will become ground zero for someone else's TikTok dreams or how far someone will go to make you feel like

  • you're trespassing on your own chill time. I'll update again if she escalates to the HOA (we don't have one) or tries to charge me rent for moonlight access.
