I tried scuba diving once before, but it is a whole lot more difficult that it looks!!! I've got this never-ending fear of going underwater, so I'm not any help on that...I tried it over in Japan a few times, and then got sick of it with everything that came along with it that I gave up my wet suit, gear, and everything else that comes with it, and called it quits!!!..I'm just not a beach or under water enthusiast!!!! I'm glad it's 2013 I've almost been here in Alaska for one entire year as of next month...and I've lived in this house since then, and there are still things that I shoved around on top of each other in places that no one else thinks to look ever when I was unpacking...just didn't want to unpack anymore or deal with unloading boxes and trying to find a place for everything...not my favourite past time exactly...that's why I never wanna go and clean out closets just to do it...we are in a heat wave now in Alaska...it got up to over 70 degrees over the weekend and caused some of the snow to melt and it was turning into a slush...now it's freezing again, so everything froze back like it was...I am highly irritated cause I want it to snow so hard here again that we can't even get our front door open like before...now it just comes up a little past our ankles is all...I plan to go on 2 different Alaskan cruises this year with one going over into Canada before coming back here to Anchorage...I've had it with staying in one place for a year cause I can't sit still wanting to travel again sooo badly...and these people here bore me so bad that I want to cry...can't wait can't wait can't wait since I started planning for it about last summer...dying to see glaciers and just different areas up here in Alaska and Canada and leave all these poor, boring souls behind!!!!
