So the plumber came by yesterday and worked on the toilet. Apparently it had a part that wasn't allowing proper flushing, but even with that replaced the flushing was still slow. Only now the bowl filled up with tons of water before not going down. I called plumber back and arranged for him to come back today to investigate further.
Last night, Shannon stays up very late studying for a test. She has to get up early to be at school by 6am to check on the dog they spayed yesterday (her first surgery! Although she didn't actually cut because the students are working in groups of three w/ a surgeon, anesthetist, and assistant. She was the assistant on this first round. They had a 10lb papillion which hopefully didn't chew through its' stitches overnight). Thus she goes to bed past midnight and her alarm is set for 5am.
Imagine our surprise at 2am when the landlord calls because our toilet is flooding our downstairs neighbor's kitchen. That's right the mf gd toilet kept filling itself up for the past two hours after we'd go to bed. We spring into action: turn off the water, use all the old dog towels to mop up what's left, corral dogs and cats in their respective corners, freak out a bit. Landlord confirms the water's stopped leaking and is very nice about the whole thing. We try to go back to bed.
Best part: peeing in a bucket last night and this morning.

Dang, that sucks. You can always drive over to our house if you would prefer to pee in a toilet.
