Pictures as Promised

[cornerofmadness]

First - Kitties (these were taken just before I left for Christmas)

All for me

Kyo the kitten

if you fluff up the orange fuzz you can’t see my underbite

And since I promised a picspam thru the years I welcome you to the 1970's (tremble in fear of the fashions!)

Rainbow’s kittens From Left to Right Bradshaw (orange), Swann (black), Princess (tabby), Lambert (grey tabby, i kept him) and Franco (tuxedo) Yes, I've always been a Steeler's fan.


Rainbow wearing Terry Bradshaw’s Number I still HAVE that damn Steeler jersey. It's probably worth something

Christmas 1978 I'm 11. I'm holding up what was for the time an advanced computer game. Mostly it taught you math and spelling. It was fun. Dig that shag rug. You can't appreciate this since we're looking at the fireplace but the other walls are stucco painted green and metallic silver. I want what my parents were smoking

Christmas 1975 I now own the table I'm sitting on. Sadly it's up in the attic. I need to get a house asap for it. I want the chairs mostly because their backs are cool. One way they're an angel face but if you tip the chair they become devil faces

guess which little boy is me If you guess the one with glasses you're right. That's Slippers, the cat before Rainbow. He was an idiot who liked to sleep on the double yellow lines of the highway...

Oh and why is my hair so short? Not by choice. I loathe short hair on women. I had a very long braid. We all got into a cockleburr battle...

Dad titled this one I Though Mom Loved Us I've seen books of this appear on thirfthorror How to make your own halloween costumes out of aluminum foil. This is what you did in the 70's when you were poor. I THINK we're bears...


You’re so Vain My brother always has been. Notice what he's doing. He's watching himself play guitar in a turned off TV (I'm still figuring out why my YOUNGER brother rated a tv in his bedroom and I didn't)

Neat pics. I loved the Halloween one. You guys looked like space bears with tumors. LOL

Kyo is very cute.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't that horrid, poor Halloween

Kyo is cute. Ineed to find him a home

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Brave kitty, being that close to a vacuum cleaner!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i suspect Kyo's never heard one

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Kyo is a cutie!

I had that game you were holding in that pic from 1978! I think it used to belong to one of my brothers, actually, and got passed down to me when they didn't like it anymore.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i need to call around to more shelters. He is a lot l ike my mom's cat, very friendly to people, less so to other cats

Merlin. I think that's the name of that thing. I enjoyed it

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Yup. My cousin had a Merlin and I wanted one soooo bad. She was no good at it at all. I was very good at it, and always wanted to play with hers.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

turns out one of my good friends from college had one too. Man you couldn't pry that thing from my hands

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

AWWW, Kyo's so cute! *grabby hands* Of course, the dogs would eat him.

Your brother got the tv because he was a boy. 'Nuff said.

Clickie.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he is cute. I'm hoping he won't freeze. All of us here are taking turns with him and the box is as weather proofed as I can make it. He was in the house for a while (and i'm reminded why i said NO kittens ever again, cats only)

that's exactly why

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I hope he doesn't freeze, either.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think he'll be okay. They get up under the houses where it's warm. Roy sadly made it through at least 4 years of this maybe more.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*siiiigh*

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

I see the Star Wars shirt, so maybe you were tinfoil Ewoks? Nah, too early. Star Wars hadn't sold out yet. And don't even try to tell me those tinfoil heads were safe.

I have those cardboard Halloween decorations, by the way. As in, still have them. I could go get them out of the cupboard right now. Well, the owl anyway. I don't think we have that particular swarm of ghosts, but we do have a dandy haunted house, and a witch riding past the moon. There's also a scarecrow with a waffle-tissue expandable pumpkin. We're a veritable museum of kitsch down here, we are.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that we have ALL those decorations in the basement still

Safe? Notice mom kindly taped BALLOONS over my eyes. I think she was hoping for an accident

[back2real.livejournal.com]

clicked 'em all! they're looking good!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hey, are you stalking my friends now? *laugh*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha, i clicked her dragonspammy dragons

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

And commented on her evil little dog?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have before

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

HEE.

[back2real.livejournal.com]

ah ahha hah! noooo, s/he clicked on my dragons at dragonspam, so I returned the favour!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Careful, COM will suck you in. *grins*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort

[back2real.livejournal.com]

hahah! don't worry, I think I'm safe!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh i like that icon too. what's it from

[back2real.livejournal.com]

ahah trying to suck me in some more, eh? ahha! ahh, that one is from a Japanese show called Gakkou e Ikou. they were spoofing a drama called "SP".

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha

thanks. i'll have to look that up

[back2real.livejournal.com]

hee hee, well, Gakkou is not actually on TV anymore. it aired for about 12 years, hosted by members of the singing group V6 (which you see all over my icons). "Let's go to School" did all kinds of wacky stuff over the years, but a lot of it involved visiting schools, having contests, geared towards the high school or college aged kids, but usually really hilarious.

as for SP, if you're into dramas you should be able to find it some place, it aired beginning of last year. they're making a movie of it to come out in '09.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sadly i'll find it nowhere. I have dial up and can't stream

[back2real.livejournal.com]

ah, so! well, there are places to direct download, several LJ communities, but dial up, that would be hard...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

from experience, impossible

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You say that now.

[back2real.livejournal.com]

yes, I know, I see she's as evil as you are!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

People often mistake us for one another. We've been accused of being the same person...at least, online.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

many times

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

LOVE the pics! The halloween one almost killed me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it perfectly horrorfying.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Thos blasts from the past are priceless. And that Halloween one is both funny and scary!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have more coming up. Mom must have been desperate that halloween. She was usually much more creative like the time I had to go as a mummy dressed in my brother's diapers or the time I was a scarecrow complete with straw or th etime I was medusa with snakes she and I sewed
