hey everyone, check it out, it's my family a year ago. for those of you who know my family, we've changed so much. it's a trip to look at this picture.

hey, if you look closely, you can see the lawn-dart bruise on my arm.

Yay, Aleisha now has a faux-hawk (kinda)! it's not too radical, and actually i love it.

p.s. i cut it myself, and i am quite proud

This is a picture i drew of this weekend, swimming at hammond's pond. the water was warm, the moon bright, the sky full of stars...it was really beautiful and a lot of fun, and i couldn't help but try to draw a picture. the scan wasn't very kind to it though, sorry. 

me, at a little lake called Heart Lake, above castle lake. it was bloody cold, but perfect after hiking up there 

Jay, on that same hike above castle lake 

me, on the cliffs above castle lake (you can see the lake, dark blue in the right corner). nice view of mt shasta, too. 

castle lake again 

glorious overcast day, hiking above Castle Lake (my favorite lake around here, for those of you who don't know). that's Blacke Butte in the distance, and i used to live right at the base of it. nice view from the top, too 

Here's me making a snow angel 

A brilliant sunset at COS. see the firetruck in the foreground? i didn't even put it there 

Here is Ruby, chugging cheap wine descreetly in the little Notre-Dame park, where i got pooped on by a french pidgeon and harrassed by a turkish man. we took the unfinished contents of that bottle of wine, put a message in it, corked it and dropped it in the Seine river.
