- the garden out front where I found a dead rabbit
- 805, the number of my apartment
- the garbage bin disposal that always scared me
- the parking lot across the street where I'd ride my bike
- the drunk named Judy
- the man in the wheel chair that never smiled
- Sonny, the old man who always gave me chocolate milk
- the smell of cigarettes
- the underground parking that scared me at night
- the random fire alarms in the middle of the night
- the hula skirt I taped around my bunk bed to make a curtain
- the lava lamp in my room that I stopped using after I swore I saw a ghost (fat man, in a top hat, with a monocle) looking at it.
- playing in the grass park across the street
- going to the art center and not understanding their weird statues
- walking down by the lake before all the new developments
- going to the convenience store and buying Twinkies
- blowing bubbles off my balcony when little kids were playing in the park below us and hearing them laugh and wonder where they came from.
- the one Christmas Eve when I was laying down on the couch watching the snow fall and thinking how everything would never be as perfect as it was then.
