All the rumors are true...

this is a non-Olympic size pool.

Legend has it that in order to prevent it being used in the Olympics, ever, it was built a few hairs too small. But it is one big pool, our little ocean beside the ocean.

Halloween on the Fourth of July

I know my honey will probably delete this photo, so even though I didn't take it I'm posting it. I love the creepy photos.

Also, in the spirit of trade, this was actually taken with his Nikon instead of my tiny Chameleon, which I usually post with.

Happy 4th, and 5th and 6th. Let freedom ring.

Things to do today:

Things that So Far Suck about Facebook

you cannot delete your account without googling "deleting your facebook account" and hoop jumping
people you don't know who know your friends will ask to be your friend thereby creating potential awkwardness should you simply refuse and later run in to the them with said mutual friend
people all extra have their real names and you are all extra vulnerable to being viewed upon by people that you don't want to see you. so i have a fake name.

i could go on, but i want to emphasize some awesome things going on right now in my brains instead.
Like that castle!
