We only have fencing to keep our dogs in and everyone elses dogs out. And that's mostly to protect the birds because one soon grows sick of waking up in the morning to have dead chickens and turkeys everywhere. Though to be fair, once we started setting barbed wire snares, we stopped having problems. >.>

So if you look back a few pages at my picture, I'm trying to decide wth to do with my hair. No, it doesn't really matter tbh, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm down to try something new.
Men don't get hair stylists. Just use manly shampoo off choice and continue to be manly
There's that and also in some suburbs that do have front fencing it was only due to the vagueness of where your property started and where council property began. Nowadays with suburbs actually being planned from scratch (instead of the "organic" construction of older suburbs like Brisbane's West End or Melbourne's Footscray) we just say anything in front of your letterbox is council property so you don't have to do maintenance (well people do because it's just common sense and neat/tidy, but it's just legal mumbo-jumbo).
Backyards are where it's at because it's more private, yes. Frontyards are just to park your car/ute/tinny/why-would-put-up-a-tent-out-the-front and to look pretty.
And @Berenene: *coughSunshinecough* Never living there again…
On the topic of fences - I'm accustomed to California, where just about every property has fences, to serve a couple of different functions - aesthetic appeal, property demarkation, keep dogs in, keep unwanteds out, privacy, etc. Then I visited the east coast, an area where fences were pretty scarce, and it took me about 20 minutes to realize what was throwing me about all the suburban areas - the lack of fences. It was weird as hell to see.

This must be pretty dependent on where in CA. In both the parts of CA where I've lived (East Bay suburbs and Santa Cruz), fenced front yards aren't prevalent; common enough that it's not a surprise to see one, especially if there's a dog, but certainly not the majority of houses.

I've lived in SoCal for almost all of my life (minus 6 months when I lived in northern NY) and most of the houses I lived had a smallish front yard and a larger back yard with fences on the side and back. Only placed I've lived that didn't have a fence was up in Fawnskin, CA (If you've heard of Big Bear Lake/City, it's across the lake).
I was recently resurrected from the dead, and just finished marathoning the last ~30 pages of this thread (clearly it was the very first thing on my to-do list after I rejoined the living).
All of my ridiculously belated comments: @Entaro - you look a LOT like Jesse from Breaking Bad. @Saphyria - you look so lovely when you actually smile! @Cooper - CONGRATS ON GETTING MARRIED! @Karai - your pictures are hilarious and you are gorgeous, I think you're my latest forums-crush. @Tahquil - I got irrationally excited and squee'd when I saw you'd recently returned to forums also.
For anyone who cares, a brief photographic summary of my life over the past year:
For one thing, I got rid of that pesky boyfriend.
(justkiddinghe'sawesomeandwe'restillgreatfriends)
Partied it up at Blizzcon...
...where I also got a (airbursh) tramp stamp - FOR THE HORDE!
I was Elizabeth from Bioshock: Infinite for Halloween. I am pretty sure the internet has actually never seen this one before... drunk Elizabeth with David Bowie.
COD: Ghosts wrap party in Vegas with a few people on my team.
All three of the girls who attended the party are pictured below. ...kidding, there were more than three of us, but I stand my ground that we were the most awesome.
I might have gotten a little excited.
Aaaaaand I also got a red leather jacket for Xmas which I have barely taken off since.
Finally, a picture of Washington DC that I took while I was home visiting family. Such capital. Many nostalgia. Wow.
And now you're all caught up!
