Are these people alive?

Last night was my first night sleeping in my new place. Wait, I take that back. The night before that was my first night, but I slept on the floor because my air mattress had a huge hole in it. Needless to say, I was to uncomfortable to take in my surroundings.

In any case, last night was the first night I was able to actually pay attention to the sounds around me. Or should I say lack of sounds. This place is quiet...REALLY QUIET. The neighborhood I moved from in Northern Virginia was quiet, and the place before that in Virginia Beach was quiet. But this place is almost like a graveyard (not that I hang out in graveyards at night).

I live in an apartment complex. Naturally I figured there would be some noise like the other complexes I've lived in before. Not so much with this place. I barely hear cars passing by. It was actually a little TOO quiet. A few times I got up in the middle of the night to peep through the blinds. I don't know why. If I couldn't hear anything I don't know why I thought I would see anything.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining because this is great, but I don't even hear crickets.

Weird.
