i've lived in 17 places.
bend, oregon.
for like 6 months when i was first born.
sunnyvale, california.
my family lived with my grandmother, for a while. an aunt and cousin may have also lived there, but i was too young to remember.
san jose, california.
my first memory is from this house. i suspect we were only here a year or two, until around the time i entered pre-school.
san jose, california, different house.
we lived here until i started kindergarten. i remember a bit about this place, specifically a large earthquake happening one day.
pleasanton, california
we lived here for about 4 years, until i started 4th grade. the kid across the street had a nintendo.
sonora, california. or was it columbia? they are nearby.
we lived on a farm from the time i was in 4th grade until the winter of 7th grade.
lindsay, california
we very briefly lived in lindsay, famous for olives and kids in middle school having handguns. we left before 7th grade was over.
dexter, oregon
this house is so far out down a country road there isn't any streetview. we were here for roughly a year and a half, we left nearly the same day 8th grade finished and drove to virginia. I was 14.
fredericksburg, virginia.
this is the first house we lived in after a month-long stay in a hotel while my parents looked for a place. we were here for less than a year, I think. kyde's family lived like 4 doors down the street and is when i met her brother.
fredericksburg, virginia.
i lived here from 1995 until 2003 or so. for reference i graduated high school in 1998. my bedroom window was the one you can see on the second floor.
fredericksburg, virginia.
in 2003 i bought a house with my long term ladyfriend at the time. she moved out in 2006, i moved out in 2009.
spotsylvania, virginia
Kyde and i briefly lived with her parents in a house very near to the first place my family had lived when we came to virginia.

kyde and i were just there for a few months before going to asia to travel. we left august 31, 2009.
(we briefly lived with kyde's parents again upon returning to virginia after a year and a half of traveling. we also spent some time staying with friends in southwest virginia.)
kumagaya, japan.
we then moved to japan in april of 2011. this is the first apartment we stayed in long term. there was a month-ish-long stay at another tiny apartment before this while we found a place to live. we lived here for two years.
musashi-urawa, japan
we moved to a closer suburb of tokyo to teach at a preschool.
the apartment was too small for two people.
street view hardly even shows it, its back at the end on the left, on the second floor.
we were here for a (fairly long) year.
otsuka, tokyo, japan
we moved into tokyo proper in 2014.
the apartment was lovely for two years until a den of illegal vietnamese people moved in upstairs, who made the place literal hell.
(we went to europe from dec of 2017 until june 2018.
on both ends of the trip we briefly stayed with friends in gunma, japan.)
hatagaya, tokyo, japan.
when we came back to tokyo we lived in a little yellow house for 6 months that we found on craigslist. it was old, but charming. the lady across from us was full of sunshine. it was a nice stay.
sumida, tokyo, japan
we got lucky and found an amazing apartment near asakusa in tokyo.
we live here now, next to the biggest golden poo in the world.
it's dope.
