Memories, memories, memories


Looking at pictures from my past really digs up memories. It's like a thread that I follow that goes from topic to topic. After working on the picture of my very first roommate it makes me remember the very next one which was a nightmare. She came apart at the seams when it didn't take a detailed message like I was her secretary or something, she screamed when I went to a movie with her younger brother. I was 7 months older and it "just wasn't right". Egads, you'd think I was going to seduce him or something. We were just friends. We both liked movies. He took me to see Star Wars. He started my addiction.

Yes, I did the requisite thing...


I played in a band. It was hard work. the hardest was set up and sound checks for our shows. We went to Houston and recorded a demo. Pretty boring. I wasn't set up for the musician lifestyle. The pictures aren't great but they did make me remember. Maybe someday I'll dig up the posters I have for a couple of our shows.

My small space


When I left Japan I really thought I'd never look back. However, there are some things I miss. It was fabulously easy to clean, 2 hours max. I couldn't accumulate too much because there wasn't any room. I really appreciate that now. I also lost a lot of weight because I had to ride my bike or walk nearly everywhere in town. I didn't spend a lot of time at home. I made a lot of money and didn't have many bills. sigh. It was a good time. Why did I want to get married???

Here are some other features of my apartment. In order to make the kitchen photo I had to join three photos together. It didn't work really well but it gives an idea.

Two page spread

I didn't like the background on the bottom page so I used the same color but a different paper that I then colorized to match.

It was a small, crowded but really fun birthday!

What would life be without high school graduation pictures?

this one was interesting, the template inspired the pictures to be used, the notebook paper and staples suggested school and the only school photo I had were of me leaving school.

Also, I was working on this one when I had the little beer incident, all is well though! Whew!
