01 i guess you can say that the theme of this particular period is my little sister. i think this photo was taken in stanley the nissan stanza in the parking lot of either sea world, seaport village, or disneyland, 'cause those were our three usual weekend destinations, back in the day. 02 i have a strong affinity to this picture. see those purple hills in the background? that's what otay ranch used to look like when it was still a ranch. it smelled like cows, but it was awfully pretty. now it's a labyrinthine neighborhood cramped with single-family homes and condos. anyway, there's sheryl copying the gardener, who's that small silhouette in the upper left hand corner. and the classic car's pretty cool, too. 03 sheryl and myself riding the bronze galopagos turtle at the wild animal park. 04 sheryl's first kiss. i was heartbroken. my musical teddy bear was having an affair with my baby sister. 05 i don't know exactly why i chose to put this one up... just that this is a picture of "us" on the stairs of my old house before we stopped being "us" and started being studiously aloof teenagers. 06 me showing sheryl a sea star at sea world. now i guess that pool is filled with rays. 07 i think this was the experience that turned me off to make-up altogether. 08 she thought she'd make it over the top. 09 sheryl riding dad's shoulders at seaport village (i think). 10 sheryl as an angel on halloween. she looks more like a faerie because mom didn't want her head to get cold so she wouldn't let her wear the halo. i was an angel, that year, too (taken on the front porch of our old house). |
