This is where i sleep. its pretty messy right now. but isnt always. i just find it hard to keep things in their place.

This is my living room. i listen to records here, and lie on the floor alot. my couch has a floral green print. it kind of harkens back to my earlier reference of hippie tendencies. my telescope is in the left hand corner. i got it for christmas last year. it was a good present.

here are the little porcelain dogs again. see, doesnt the one nearest the gate look kind of real? i thought it was a real dog for a second.

this is my bathroom. behind those doors lies a treasure trove of towels and various skin products, including some masks and lotions and skin creams. i should probably use them more.

my kitchen. i cook here. there is almost nothing at all in my refrigerator. milk, green tea, and water, and some condiments. i really should go shopping. i hope you enjoyed seeing where i lieve. its all so very exciting for everyone.
This is what a skating rink looks like after a hockey game, and almost everyone has left.

This is the view from my back porch. there are two porcelain dogs in the yard behind mine, and they have them posed like they are going to the gate door. the dog two doors down has been barking a lot lately, and i think these porcelain dogs may have something to do with it. they look pretty lifelike.

This is another view from my deck. those are everyone else on my blocks backyards. i wish i had a garden. maybe someday. i would like to grow my own fruits and vegetables. my grandfather used to, and i remember them being so good.

Another flyers picture. they stink.

This is what my porch looks like. sometimes i sit on those chairs. its very nice. i also can bring my telescope out on clear nights and look at the moon. i can also look at stars, and other space things, but i usually prefer the moon. in the summer i hang my clothes on the clothes line on the left. clothes dried outside smell so good and fresh.
Kay, crystal and josh. josh doesnt look too happy.

Thiswas a photo of some kid dancing in the arena. he was really good. it was weird, he wasnt sitting by himself, with no one even near him. i felt bad. i didnt know how to use my zoom on my camera, or this picture would be better. oops. next time



Such a simple sign, but i really like. sometimes i have some hippie tendencies.

Kay on her way to getting a little drunk.
These are just photos from a few different streets around me. it made me really nostalgic for the christmas decorations of my youth, which is ridiculous, since i am not that old at all. but i guess to me it seems that people dont put that much effort into christmas anymore. i dont know why, i love it. its one of my favorite times of year, and always makes me happy. at least for a few minutes anyone can look at this and just not think, and be happy. its kind of comforting.








These are some photos of christmas decorations around my house. i really like it when people go over board and just go crazy. i would much rather see stuff like this than just simple white lights.

This house is almost entirely covered in lights, and had like a ten foot blow up winnie the pooh on their back deck. i am not really sure what winnie the pooh has to do with christmas, but thats tigger on their front steps.

This entire street is insane. Its about a fifty yard long street, and the entire thing is covered in christmas decorations. its so bright, you cant miss it. and lots of cars were driving up the street just to look at the decorations. it was nice. kind of added a sense of community to something as simple as decorations.

This block always has something for just about every holiday. for christmas it was actually kind of simple. just a canopy of lights going from house to house, along the entire block. i like walking on this block, it seems like you are walking under a roof of colors. their halloween decorations were more elaboarate though, with lots of hay and scarecrows and more decorations.

this was a ball game that was suppossed to simulate water polution. it was kind of impossible to stop the balls, but i dont think the museum was saying you cant stop pollution. although it would be really clever of them.

they had a fox there. i wish he would have been closer to us, but i guess the whole biting people thing kind makes that imposssible. i think he winked when i took his picture. there also was an albino fox there, but he was hiding.

i just thought this was a good sign, and a great slogan.

more butterflies.

bees. i hate bee stings.




the academy of natural science had an exhibit on butterflies. i went. it was really hot, like a sauna. but i guess butterflies like it. not one landed on my nose though, although i watched some kid just hold a yellow piece of paper and saw three butterflies land on it. i was jealous.









worst skater ever? possibly. josh and crystal are models of patience.

marie likes things that reference her name, such as skating rinks and towns in new jersey. she also likes to talk about std's over dinner.


i am not really sure what is going on here. at first i thought it was a reference to the rockettes, but then i remembered that they dont do that on ice. or maybe they do and i dont know.
