The neighborhood i grew up was actually a small town and almost everyone knew everyone. I would often visit with the neighbors behind me and to the side of me (and even down the street in the neighboring cul de sac) since they all had dogs or indoor/outdoor cats and when i was very young i wanted a pets of my own. thats actually how i got two of my first cats when i was very young! Later, in middle school i made a friend on the buss to find out she lived across the street! Even out of high school (and after said friend had moved out) my mother and i would visit with that family to gossip.
Since the move to a new place i havent has much interaction with my neighbors. My mother knows everyone around us, and for the most part they have been very friendly with me, aside from my first interaction with the people who live behind us who called the policie on me for having a "party" (when it was just a group of friends, my mother and i smoking cigarettes on my back porch). The woman who lives across the street from us has been vey nice, and always waves at me and smiles whenever we see one an other. She's really the only person i've had something of a conversation with since she was the one who gave me my kitten-son. Its actually kind of funny because she kept one from that litter and she's always running into our yard to stalk things in sunbathe in the grass, and i often wonder if when her and my cat see one an other remember being friends growing up.
