Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky.
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes, all the same.

There's a green one, and a pink one,
and a blue one, and a yellow one,
and they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the University,
Where they were put in boxes,
and they came out all the same.

And there's doctors, and lawyers,
and business executives,
and they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
and they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course,
and drink their martinis dry,
and they all have pretty children,
and they all look just the same.

And the children go to summer camp,
and then to the University,
Where they are put in boxes,
and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business,
and marry and raise a family,
In boxes made of ticky-tacky,
and they all look just the same.

There's a green one, and a pink one,
and a blue one, and a yellow one,
and they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
and they all look just the same.

I'm sorry I haven't been the best blogger lately.
Unfortunately, the chances of me going back to being a good blogger seem slim.

I fucking love this show. I've been watching it all night since I can't sleep.
The characters are all so perfect. I'm sure anyone who knows me can guess who my favorite is..

See You, Cowgirl
Someday, Somewhere!

Every time I see someone with this bumper sticker, I resist the urge to wreck their shit.

Just saying.

Alright, I am serious here. This is driving me fucking crazy and I need you all to think as hard as you possibly can. Think back to the mid-90's, maybe getting close to 2000. Think about when those Goosebumps books got really popular, and all the other weird scary "intermediate" novels that were published for kids in late elementary school or early middle school. Think hard.

I don't remember what the book was called. I only remember the cover.

On the cover it showed the front of a house, really just the front door and a big window to the right of the door. I think there was a girl standing at the front door, and she might have been looking up at the window in horror. Standing inside the house, looking at her through the window, was a giant dog standing on its back legs. Not standing on its back legs the way a normal dog does, but standing like a man would. Except it wasn't a man, it was a big dog. Much taller than the girl, looking down at her in a sort of menacing way. Thinking back, it looked kind of like an Irish Wolfhound or something like that. White, curly hair. It was standing facing the window, so it was seen head-on in the picture, and was looking at the girl kind of out of the corner of its eye.

I also remember, very vaguely, the part of the book where the main character encountered the dog thing. I think there might have been more than one of them, and they were sort of the "workers" around this creepy house. The book was more about the house than the dog things, they were just sort of a weird addition to it.

This could be completely off, but I want to think that the title of the book had something to do with the street that the house was found on. Either that, or it had something to do with Halloween. I'm torn between thinking that it's either of those, but it could be both.

PLEASE tell me one of you remembers this book. I want so badly to know the title of it and see that scary cover again. But I seem to be the only person in the goddamn world who read this book. I probably imagined it, who knows. I even asked 4chan about it, seriously. No one has ever heard of it.

I'm wishing...
