hi all...I'm sooo thrilled that this is working again..I was like completely depressed outta my mind nearly the entire month cause I have no idea what was going on with this...I seriously thought that my blogging days were over with cause I have such a big mouth on here spouting off and being so snippy on so many public forums...of course I always think that it's me whenever a good part of the time it's the website...so I finally completed my "experiment" today...I get into these like hour or more conversations with anyone and get to talking about the most random things...I got to chatting up with a dentist about pop (soda, coke, coca cola, spritzer water, bubbly water...I know it's called a million different things all over the world cause I've heard just about all of them...) anyways...we got to talking about what the dark coloured soda does to your teeth...not only leaves stains but other effects that we can't see or aren't aware of right away...I won't ever stop it with the questions, and drive a person crazy asking so much or talking too fast or too much until I have to keep clearing my throat..and then I've got to do all that I can to not lose my voice..I don't remember everything, but to get me to better understand all this, and I guess another way to shut me up, he told me to try out the experiment with a nail, and drop it in any type of dark soda and leave it sitting in it for a month...I did that the beginning of this month, and I couldn't wait anylonger for another day for it to be the 31st, and there are usually just 30 days in a month anyways, so I figured that 30 days should have been enough time...It was sooo gross having to pick up something that had been sitting an entire month and dump it out in the sink and it was all thick and dark...when the nails finally fell out, one was completely bent halfway like a small boomerang, and turned very very dark, and the other one just had a dark coating on it, and it rubbed off if you pressed hard enough to rub it off...they both turned the dark colour, and it was so sick...so that is what soda does to your teeth if you drink it on a normal basis...so no more for me ever again...I've just been on water and 2 more of my clear drinks Ginger Ale and my flavoured water...I can't even have my apple cider or hot chocolate or tea cause of the bad stains that they leave behind and it's killing me...but all that I have to do is look at the nails I dropped in soda for a month, and that changes my mind real quick about having something that I'm really not supposed to...it's still freezing here by the way...we got snow, and it's still here..tooooo happy!!! the sun was kinda/sorta out today, but it didn't do anything, so everything stayed frozen...we're supposed to get more snow 2-3 more times this week which is fine with me..I've discovered though that I can't stannnnddd having to shovel snow...I've never had to do any hard labour of anykind, and having to get out in the freezing morning or afternoon to shovel stupid snow when there are snowplows all over the place when it's really heavy makes me tooo furious!!! I would much rather be on here!!! we have to shovel ( or my husband shovels the big part of the driveway) I"m not much help on that one, cause it's huge, and it's an upward hill kind of, and the most that comes out of me is me saying about 50 billion times over and over and over is "I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!!!!" "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!" "THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO BE DOING RIGHT NOW!!" and of course everyone else outside doing the exact same thing is doing nothing but leaning over from laughing so hard...I saw someone else outside shoveling snow, and gave their 3 year old a snow shovel to just play around with I guess, and she wasn't doing much of anything either..then I was told that I was shoveling snow just like that toddler was..which wasn't much just kind of spinning around and playing in it...I would rather be sledding down the hill with all the kids than just standing shoveling snow...I get stuck doing the sidewalk in front..we have to push all this snow which comes about to the bottom part of your leg, push it all in a big pile, and then shove it all in the street so whenever the snowplows come by, they can sweep it up and they carry all this extra snow off to somewhere else to dump it until it melts..and this goes on for the next 6 months...I don't like doing that at allll...it kills your back, and is just a big pain to do!!! I've seen others with small snowblowers which would be a wholeee lot more easier than junk shovels, but we are still trying to get set up here winter-wise...I'm just glad to be out of Japan though, and I'm glad that I'm away from all that heat...good night everyone...I'll keep on going on for the rest of the night if I don't cut it off somewhere...glad that killer storm is over!!! we made it!!!

hey everyone..it's SNOWING here now!! I'm tooo happy that I got my wish that it would hurry up and snow here because the snow here lasts for a full 6 months...we get snow, then it stops and it just keeps snowing and snowing...greatest gift ever to me..I have never been around snow in my life so this is huge for me..I've seen pictures of it, had some snow up to my ankles, sometimes less than that barely 1 or 2 inches, and now it's all ethe way up to the car door handles...I love it though, even though I know most hate it..such miserable people that I am always stuck being around...hope everyone is surviving these storm effects okay...i really don't think that I can keep looking at the pictures that they put on here..they bother me so much and it hurts to see that people just go off to save themselves but leave their poor animals behind...I am on the complete opposite end of the country to do anything and it's driving me crazy since all the flights are grounded and no one can go near that area...not sure who would want to though...we are getting effects here too in Alaska and Canada keeps having earthquakes and tsunami warnings..we also did but they lifted those a few days ago so I hope that it stays like that...

THANK YOU GOD THAT MY BLOG WORKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I'm soooo happy that my blog is working again!!! I was completely going out of my mind the last few weeks because I couldn't get on here and just "talk." We are having the biggest storm here in this country that hasn't happened for more than 100 years...Alaska is getting some effect from it...the wind is way freezing, and we are already getting ice sickles...if water drips anywhere outdoors, it freezes over night and is still straight up...we are supposed to get snow at least 3 times this week...I just visited Massachusetts and Boston area this time last year, only it was in the summer...I can't believe right where I was now that part is being completed destroyed...so I guess so much for the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston with all that great memorbilia of past rock stars... :( I hope that everyone is staying safe on whomever has to be going through that...there is nothing else on the tv or radio stations now except talking about this storm..I'm just glad that we get a break about hearing about all that political garbage for at least the next week and a half...then when this storm is over we will be hearing about both...umm...still I would rather hear about the storm anyday... :p still it's a scary situation though with all the pics floating around on the internet here...

I am so gonna try this next time that I'm out in public since I have nothing to lose, and girls hate me anyways....I can't wait to see their pissy reaction as I'm walking (or running!!) off laughing...yes I am not afraid to do something like that while they are yelling out nasty names @ me...oh well !! I think that I hear a 3rd camera calling out my name that is a magenta (dark purple with pink to make the magenta colour) colour...I saw it and it's new digital style and I LOVE it!!!

I think that I hear a 3rd camera calling out my name that is a magenta (dark purple with pink to make the magenta colour) colour...I saw it and it's new digital style and I LOVE it!!!
I will then have 3 coloured digital cameras and WILL NOT lose or mix up my phone chargers this time!!!!!!!!! I made a big sign on the top of my desk with the words "LEAVE THE ELECTRONICS TO GUYS!! SUZY HAS NOOO IDEA ABOUT THEM AND IS COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS A PLUG IN DEVICE!!!!" maybe I should decorate it a little more though as an even more firm reminder to me and a serious warning that is out there not to go into places where I am completely helpless and totally whiny about it all..I can stick to my paintings and other art work and books and my college classes (muuuahh!!) but anything beyond that noooo waaayyyy!!!!!!!!
I still seriously HATE HATE HATE Physiology though!!!!! that has to be the most boring subject to sit through on this planet earth..I always half way and falling asleep I am sooo bored and am counting down the days until I am done with the 6 months (it was either 3 or 6 months, and I of course went for the 6 months to get a certificate and talk my head off to anyone I see..I lost my voice twice last week and already once this week...and sometimes I just can't stop coughing like when you have a really bad cold...the temps here in Alaska are in the low 30's...we still have some snow on the ground now, but not very much of course...
I can't wait until there is a ton of it so I can go and slide down the hill in the back of us with mostly all the kids around here...adults think they are too good for things like that so screw them...not that I care cause I can't sit still when I see that, and can't stand to see everyone else having all the fun and me just sitting on the sidelines..not me at all so that is why I am sooo anxious for it to come!!! it's supposed to be sunny for the next 7 days, so I am furious again about this stupid weather situation...I check that everyday and nothing!!! now it's just dead slow here with everything...things pick up when there are tonz of outdoor activities going on...dog sledding is the first thing on my list this winter...
I can pretty much forget skiing..again I will have no idea what I'm doing and I can't stand looking so helpless when everyone else around me seems like a pro...so again, it's just the kids stuff for me!! dog sledding, inter tubing down the hill, ice skating, building snowmen, throwing ourselves in the snow up past our knees and loving it...
I sooo can't wait, and I can't wait to make a bunch of people mad with the picture thing...I'd take it with one camera, put it away, take it with my second camera, put that away, take it with my phone, put that one away, then take it with my 4th and final camera, then kind of give a salute like soldiers do, then take off in the direction of the mountains...I'd get snarls and stares but again, I really don't care!!! that is too funny to pass up!! people are soo snotty on military bases!! I know more people out in Anchorage, than I know in this institution!! I think it's better that way, and Alaskans don't have the pissy attitude saying that this state is better than the lower 48...I think that too, but I have a big mouth and always go around announcing it how much I love it here...gotta love me!!!!!!! love all my online friendzz...xxx 'night all !!

MY FIRST LOVE FOREVER!!!
I love love love how the world looks from so high above...wow I never get tired of staring at it or at my globe that we have down here!!! It's still hard for me to believe that I've been all over this gorgeous world and still want to circle it again...I'm just completely hopeless whenever it comes to travel..never breaking up with it either!!!
Sunday, October 14, 2012
ugghhh I do this like every day of my life and always end up laughing about it cause it sounds so funny..if I would learn to stop talking so fast then this wouldn't happen I guess... we got our 2nd snow fall here in Alaska yesterday....it was a little more than the last time, and covered the ground a little more...I love it..I can't wait until we get the huge snowfall..we had the Northern Lights appear here the other night, wow those are sooo beautiful...I have only seen pics of them, now I have seen them in real life and feel so so lucky...
another reason why people hate me because I am getting all these amazing experiences, and friends that I had growing up back home have stopped speaking to me altogether...not only that, but when I did agree to meet whenever I was back home, I was the butt of being a practical joke to everyone around..so that was it for me...no more of these rotten people who act that way just because of extreme jealousy...not that I care though, but it's really sad that people choose to act that way when you have known someone your whole life and they just suddenly turn on you like that...something that I will never understand... :P
so nothing that I can do...more hurtful than anything else though...so I'm guessing that it's football season for the other 48 states down below us...I keep hearing football scores whenever I call back home whenever I could careless...here in Alaska it's nothing but ice hockey, dog sledding, ice fishing, hunting, snow mobling..I'm not sure what else cause I haven't been here long enough...not even a year...hockey is the big thing though..there is an ice skating rink at University of Alaska Anchorage, (UAA) for all the Hockey games...I'm not into hockey either, but I think I may take a chance once or twice for the experience and for pics of course...oh how I can't wait to start college courses again!!
finally done with all the moving stuff and just now getting settled in...now I'm going full force on collecting Alaska prints already framed of course to decorate my house with...I'm looking at about 25 prints altogether very slowly though!! sometimes I will get 2, then other times 1, since some of them can floor you on how much they are...but I really don't care cause you can't find them anywhere else...I'm working on 10 upstairs and 10 downstairs...then maybe I will be satisfied!! they have sooo many to choose from it's just not fair!! then I come along and don't know what to do with myself whenever I see stuff like that...starting my Alaska scrapbook today after picking up my prints of the Northern Lights...can't wait to see how they turned out...

SO TOTALLY ME AGAIN...NOT SURPRISED!!!
me and the floor have gotten to know each other quite well throughout the years...not sure that I want to continue that rotten relationship with the floor though since it's caused me to have 2 broken teeth, 1-2 root canals, stitches in my forehead, ice pack for the bridge of my nose, stitches again on my upper eyebrow, knee brace on both my knees from falling full force while ice skating, fractured my right ankle when I was 11 or 12, and was in a cast for over 2-3 months, along with crutches, sprained my other ankle while visting my husband at his University and my stupid foot went off the sidewalk and completely backwards and it ended up turning purple and blue, removeable cast that time, but still crutches.(not sure why I'm saying all this!?!) so not a big fan of the floor as everyone can see!!!!!!! >:P . I'm sure that there are more but I've forced myself not to remember them...

again..not surprised about this one!! everything is overlapping and screwed up on here agggaaain...so not too sure how long this will last!!! It's taken me a few days to get back to feeling normal again and rested up from the cruise that we went on...I still felt soo sick even after I got back, and just couldn't get enough sleep...I'm really really glad that feeling has finally passed!!!
we had light snow this morning but it was tooo wettt for it to do anything...it was more like drizzle but it felt a lot sharper than just rain does...I believe that snow is supposed to be coming this weekend since me and everyone else is talking about is if we're ready for the snow to come...I can hardly sleep at night I'm dying for it to come!! I think to celebrate the snow coming again we'll get an ice cream cake and enjoy cold on cold with snow falling outside...yes I really am that excited about it!! after getting off of a stupid island that I cared absolutely NOTHING about..putting up with 113-120 degree temperatures, getting sent to the hospital every month or every other month.. and the only season ever was summer...of course I'm going to celebrate every chance I get now whenever the temperature drops below 80 degrees here...
2 days ago it was Columbus Day...that is supposed to be some made up holiday where everyone says that Columbus discovered America...I am forever arguing this topic with a handful of others who also agree that Native American Indians were already here in this country, and America was already discovered so I have no idea why they say Columbus discovered America whenever America had already been discovered by Native American Indians...I know I'm getting no where with that, but they actually sell t shirts with all that on it, (a much shorter saying of course)and of course I've got 2 different ones, so I'm not the only one who thinks that way...I pretty much ignore that holiday just like I do Halloween...oh well..I'd best keep my mouth shut cause I don't want an entire group of idiots shouting out their 2 cents worth of completly useless information to me...
'night everyone I could keep talking until the sun comes up here if I don't cut it off now...

WONDERING IF I AM SEEING THINGS!!!
(insert haunted house screaming here...)
If this is ACTUALLY WORKING then I must be dreaming!! Finally after an entire week of me about to die from not being on here, now I can finally be on here...I really couldn't get my computer to do anything...mostly for the drastic weather changes here so suddenly...we had a very light dusting of SNOW very end of September...I was sooo thrilled I was hoping that it would be another snowfall that went up past everyone's knees where you couldn't even walk in it, and the snow plows were out every single day clearing the roads and parking lots from snow that keeps on falling....I have never in my life been around snow ever, so it's like I am on a completely different planet being around all this snow!!! it only lasted that night, then half of the morning the next day, and then the rotten sun came out, and melted it all, and I was completely depressed the rest of the day since we didn't have snow anymore...
I've been counting the days, and constantly checking the weather on here for Alaska to see if there is going to be any snow soon...all that we have been getting is rain and more rain...it's like chilly...enough for hats coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, rain jackets, umbrellas...but no snow...I've been fuming cause I can't wait to go out and play around in it again, and go inter tubing, dog sledding, snow boarding, get on the snow mobile, ice skating...(we have an ice skating rink here in our mall here in Anchorage...) after being sooooo unbelievably deprived and away from everything for the last 7-8 years, I'm soooo thrilled to be back in a big city where I actually belong and we have everything again, and yes EVERYTHING IS IN ENGLISH!!!!!!!!
I'm about to check the weather on here again to see if snow is coming either this week or next week, cause I am dying to get outside again when it's not raining...wow sooo much has happened this last week, when I was fighting with this ridiculous computer...I've gotten into the whitening my teeth I guess like the movie stars and singers do...might be vain but I really really don't care!!! there is like noooo way that I"m having teeth that look like a smokers when I don't even smoke...I think a few more months maybe the end of this year..possibly next year I will finally be satisfied...not exactly cheap either, but again I really don't care!!! I've had to cut out my Dr. Pepper completely... (major crying fit)...my tea, (still a crying fit but not as bad or as much)....anything dark really...now it's only my Ginger Ale and water....or my flavoured water...not too exciting, but oh well...still on the agenda list with everyone else for braces agggaaainnnnn for the 2nd time in my life...
I don't even wanna think about that one...I'm about as mad over that as I am about snow not coming here fast enough...not sure what else...everything flies by here sooo fast, and Alaska is behind in time zones from the rest of the world...everyone else is several hours, or a day ahead of us here...Canada is even an hour ahead of us...Hawaii may be behind Alaska, but it's been years since I"ve been there, so I really can't remember how many hours behind Hawaii is...I've no idea how I got off on that little subject...
I've talked soo much in the last 2 weeks, that I almost completely lost my voice agaiinnnn...I could hardly talk at all, my voice was very scratchy like it is whenever you are sick, I talked so much during appointments which I can't even remember what they were about, that we completely ran out of time because I wouldn't shut up, that I had to reschedule the entire appointment cause I did most of the talking the whole time...no matter how much I tried clearing my throat still nothing would happen, and even when I tried to drink, still nothing...yes I've tried to stop talking, then I get out in town, and I'm completely hopeless on shutting up for like 5 minutes because I"m soooo thrilled to death to be here in Alaska....
People here on this base are so pathetic and so negative...I got to talking (big shocker huh??!) to someone just randomly here a few weeks ago...you know, same old worn out age end questions..."hi how are u" "what do you like?" "how long have you been here..." where are you from??" junk like that...stuff that bores me beyond the grave....I met someone who was from Florida...(evil place to me with the experiences that I've had there, and also the people from moving around sooo much and having to put up with the sucky attitudes from them...yes I know I"m gonna get bashed for that one, but oh well...)
they said they didn't like it here cause they aren't used to the cold weather, and snow...I said that I absolutely LOVED it here, that I couldn't get enough of it, and that I want to live here forever and ever, and NEVER want to leave!!!!!!!! the responce that I get??? "YOU LIKE IT HERE!?!?!" I said "yeah after what I"ve been through the last few years, this is heaven to me..." I kind of get an eyeroll and get the cold shoulder which I'm so totally used to by now that it cracks me up laughing...annnndddd they haven't spoken to me since...too funny...thrilled to pieces though that I got under someone's skin again and they hate me whenever they barely even know my name....
(I'll finish this later....I HAVE to go to my art store since tomorrow is a holiday, and I've lost yet another one of my art supplies out in public and I'm going crazy until I get like about 6-7 of them to calm me down where I can finally sleep again at night)....we're about to go to do that, and to dinner somewhere in Anchorage...and the evening is just a blur anymore cause it is starting to get dark here about 5pm everyday...soon it will get dark @ 4pm in the next few weeks but I'm used to it by now, and still love it....I still have more to add, so hopefully I won't run off the page this time like I did a few blogs back...can't shut up ever and guess I will never be able to...I always seem to have something to say...that's why most hate me I guess...I give that one a big "SO WHAT!!!" :D xoxoxo
**** okay back!!! again...nottt able to do anything on here again!!! not sure what is going on with this stupid thing, but I can't add pics or anything...it keeps throwing me to some whacked up clothing website like I even care...I"m not sure either why all these ads keep overlapping each other...so I managed to get everything done finally...yes I can finally sleep tonight since I went to my art store and got double of what I had before, and will do the same thing next weekend and the weekend after that if I have to...yes I realllllllyyyy hate losing things..it drives me to the point of insanity...
we went on an outstanding one day Alaskan cruise yesterday here...it was a 3 hour drive from Anchorage down to Seward, Alaska where we went to catch the cruise ship...it left from Seward and from there we went to Fairbanks...another big city....it was sooo incredible to actually see the mountains up close, without anything in front of them blocking them and I could actually see the bottom without some building or trees in the way..we've had snow here, and it has been raining non stop here, so there were small waterfalls coming down from the mountains....they never seemed to end, and I had nooo idea that we even had waterfalls here...we saw part of the ocean/beach and parts of the ocean are already starting to freeze...there are bits of ice scattered...I can't wait to see the entire ocean frozen solid all over again...
it was all so beautiful and to see everything up close and just Alaskan nature gave me chills since I've only seen things like that in pictures...I got to see sea otters swimming around poking their heads up and down out of the ocean, they are more scared than aggressive so it wasn't much to see..I got to see the white baby seals, sea lions, seals, and my most favourite of them all I got to see an American bald eagle in his natural environment...I saw them at the zoo here, but it bothered me more to see them at a zoo than in the natural forest...we had to keep our distance though so that he wouldn't feel threatened, so he was hard to see, but he was just sitting in the trees in what they called the Alaskan rain forest because it is all trees and animals that hasn't been touched or destroyed by destructive no good humans...I saw his white head and brown body, and he was just looking back and forth side to side...wow I can't wait to see more American bald eagles...I really have never ever ever seen them before...just pictures...
then it was just more cruising around the ocean, looking at more natural environment here...more mountains, waterfalls, animals, and just enjoying the experience...I took a ton of pictures, and once this thing decides to stop hating me and actually starts cooperating with me, then maybe I can download the pics from the cruise that I went on...they are all nature pics, so don't pay attention just because I'm not in them...I reallllllllllyyyyyyyy hate my picture taken..I just can't stand how I look..I look fine in the mirror, then when it comes time for picture taking, my face always looks twisted I think so at least, or I look like I'm about half asleep when really I was just about to say something...
hmm so I loved everything about that cruise I got to go on...there were people from all over the world again on it with me...New Zealand, Thailand...soo many...not sure and can't even remember them all..that is a lonnnggg ways though to come from those countries half way around the world just to come and visit Alaska, so I can hardly believe that I actually am living here...
weather here changes soo fast that it's scary..it was fine going out there, but on the way back, we were being thrown around, and it was going up and down, side to side, and I get sick over everything, so that's what happened to me...just like I got whenever I went on that totally pointless whale watching tour in Japan...and just fyi to anyone who is thinking about going whale watching...YOU DON'T SEE THE FULL WHALE!!! YOU ONLY SEE MAYBE THE TIP OF THEIR NOSE, BACK, AND TAIL!!! the rest of the time, they stay in the water!!!so I got motion sickness from all that movement, and couldn't stand it anymore after that and just wanted to get off then..It was about an hour back from Fairbanks to Seward again, and I grabbed my motion sickness medication and downed it so it would knock me out, and I was asleep the rest of the time and woke up just before we were about to get off...so I ended that nightmare real quick because I honestly can not stand that feeling...so it was incredible to be back on dry land again...
Seward is a veryyy small town, and reminds me hands down of Nantucket, Massachusetts...it's a whaling community, and is very beautiful, with all these boats right in the ocean, everywhere, restaurants, souvinier places, statues, waterfalls, monuments, and just a nice place to walk around at...they have a train station, and all the cruise boats to go on...I loved it there and can't wait to go back...It was hard to find a place for dinner since some of the places were already closed down for the winter and wouldn't open back up until April whenever the tourist season picks up again...or some of the others that were open weren't open until 6pm and we got back from our cruise around 4pm..we planned to have dinner, then get back on the drive home since it was another 3 hours coming back to Anchorage..
.so we finally found a place...hurried the best that we could...walked around a little bit more, then I had to say good bye (sob) to my gorgeous #2 Massachusetts town that resembles Nantucket exactly...3 hours driving back home..or my husband did..I still felt dead sick and only wanted to get home and I hate that nausiated feeling..I have nooo idea how well I would last on a week or 2 week long cruise if I couldn't even get through one day...it gets dark here sooo early now, oh and it was pouring down rain as well...I was tooo happy to get back here to Anchorage...and now I can't stop talking about that experience and everything that I got to see, and so now it's back to me being completely still fascinated with Alaska again, (even though I've been here over 6 months), and also getting back to the reality part of life where everyone who's around me totally hates me...oh well..it must be very hard to be so jealous and miserable all the time...so that was my weekend..I can't wait to have another one like that one...it is sooo exhausting though!!! I won't stop it on the travel part though...even if I nearly half way drop over dead I still won't give it up!! chat with everyone soon whom I usually chat with!!!
If this is ACTUALLY WORKING then I must be dreaming!! Finally after an entire week of me about to die from not being on here, now I can finally be on here...I really couldn't get my computer to do anything...mostly for the drastic weather changes here so suddenly...we had a very light dusting of SNOW very end of September...I was sooo thrilled I was hoping that it would be another snowfall that went up past everyone's knees where you couldn't even walk in it, and the snow plows were out every single day clearing the roads and parking lots from snow that keeps on falling....I have never in my life been around snow ever, so it's like I am on a completely different planet being around all this snow!!! it only lasted that night, then half of the morning the next day, and then the rotten sun came out, and melted it all, and I was completely depressed the rest of the day since we didn't have snow anymore...
I've been counting the days, and constantly checking the weather on here for Alaska to see if there is going to be any snow soon...all that we have been getting is rain and more rain...it's like chilly...enough for hats coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, rain jackets, umbrellas...but no snow...I've been fuming cause I can't wait to go out and play around in it again, and go inter tubing, dog sledding, snow boarding, get on the snow mobile, ice skating...(we have an ice skating rink here in our mall here in Anchorage...) after being sooooo unbelievably deprived and away from everything for the last 7-8 years, I'm soooo thrilled to be back in a big city where I actually belong and we have everything again, and yes EVERYTHING IS IN ENGLISH!!!!!!!!
I'm about to check the weather on here again to see if snow is coming either this week or next week, cause I am dying to get outside again when it's not raining...wow sooo much has happened this last week, when I was fighting with this ridiculous computer...I've gotten into the whitening my teeth I guess like the movie stars and singers do...might be vain but I really really don't care!!! there is like noooo way that I"m having teeth that look like a smokers when I don't even smoke...I think a few more months maybe the end of this year..possibly next year I will finally be satisfied...not exactly cheap either, but again I really don't care!!! I've had to cut out my Dr. Pepper completely... (major crying fit)...my tea, (still a crying fit but not as bad or as much)....anything dark really...now it's only my Ginger Ale and water....or my flavoured water...not too exciting, but oh well...still on the agenda list with everyone else for braces agggaaainnnnn for the 2nd time in my life...
I don't even wanna think about that one...I'm about as mad over that as I am about snow not coming here fast enough...not sure what else...everything flies by here sooo fast, and Alaska is behind in time zones from the rest of the world...everyone else is several hours, or a day ahead of us here...Canada is even an hour ahead of us...Hawaii may be behind Alaska, but it's been years since I"ve been there, so I really can't remember how many hours behind Hawaii is...I've no idea how I got off on that little subject...
I've talked soo much in the last 2 weeks, that I almost completely lost my voice agaiinnnn...I could hardly talk at all, my voice was very scratchy like it is whenever you are sick, I talked so much during appointments which I can't even remember what they were about, that we completely ran out of time because I wouldn't shut up, that I had to reschedule the entire appointment cause I did most of the talking the whole time...no matter how much I tried clearing my throat still nothing would happen, and even when I tried to drink, still nothing...yes I've tried to stop talking, then I get out in town, and I'm completely hopeless on shutting up for like 5 minutes because I"m soooo thrilled to death to be here in Alaska....
People here on this base are so pathetic and so negative...I got to talking (big shocker huh??!) to someone just randomly here a few weeks ago...you know, same old worn out age end questions..."hi how are u" "what do you like?" "how long have you been here..." where are you from??" junk like that...stuff that bores me beyond the grave....I met someone who was from Florida...(evil place to me with the experiences that I've had there, and also the people from moving around sooo much and having to put up with the sucky attitudes from them...yes I know I"m gonna get bashed for that one, but oh well...)
they said they didn't like it here cause they aren't used to the cold weather, and snow...I said that I absolutely LOVED it here, that I couldn't get enough of it, and that I want to live here forever and ever, and NEVER want to leave!!!!!!!! the responce that I get??? "YOU LIKE IT HERE!?!?!" I said "yeah after what I"ve been through the last few years, this is heaven to me..." I kind of get an eyeroll and get the cold shoulder which I'm so totally used to by now that it cracks me up laughing...annnndddd they haven't spoken to me since...too funny...thrilled to pieces though that I got under someone's skin again and they hate me whenever they barely even know my name....
(I'll finish this later....I HAVE to go to my art store since tomorrow is a holiday, and I've lost yet another one of my art supplies out in public and I'm going crazy until I get like about 6-7 of them to calm me down where I can finally sleep again at night)....we're about to go to do that, and to dinner somewhere in Anchorage...and the evening is just a blur anymore cause it is starting to get dark here about 5pm everyday...soon it will get dark @ 4pm in the next few weeks but I'm used to it by now, and still love it....I still have more to add, so hopefully I won't run off the page this time like I did a few blogs back...can't shut up ever and guess I will never be able to...I always seem to have something to say...that's why most hate me I guess...I give that one a big "SO WHAT!!!" :D xoxoxo
**** okay back!!! again...nottt able to do anything on here again!!! not sure what is going on with this stupid thing, but I can't add pics or anything...it keeps throwing me to some whacked up clothing website like I even care...I"m not sure either why all these ads keep overlapping each other...so I managed to get everything done finally...yes I can finally sleep tonight since I went to my art store and got double of what I had before, and will do the same thing next weekend and the weekend after that if I have to...yes I realllllllyyyy hate losing things..it drives me to the point of insanity...
we went on an outstanding one day Alaskan cruise yesterday here...it was a 3 hour drive from Anchorage down to Seward, Alaska where we went to catch the cruise ship...it left from Seward and from there we went to Fairbanks...another big city....it was sooo incredible to actually see the mountains up close, without anything in front of them blocking them and I could actually see the bottom without some building or trees in the way..we've had snow here, and it has been raining non stop here, so there were small waterfalls coming down from the mountains....they never seemed to end, and I had nooo idea that we even had waterfalls here...we saw part of the ocean/beach and parts of the ocean are already starting to freeze...there are bits of ice scattered...I can't wait to see the entire ocean frozen solid all over again...
it was all so beautiful and to see everything up close and just Alaskan nature gave me chills since I've only seen things like that in pictures...I got to see sea otters swimming around poking their heads up and down out of the ocean, they are more scared than aggressive so it wasn't much to see..I got to see the white baby seals, sea lions, seals, and my most favourite of them all I got to see an American bald eagle in his natural environment...I saw them at the zoo here, but it bothered me more to see them at a zoo than in the natural forest...we had to keep our distance though so that he wouldn't feel threatened, so he was hard to see, but he was just sitting in the trees in what they called the Alaskan rain forest because it is all trees and animals that hasn't been touched or destroyed by destructive no good humans...I saw his white head and brown body, and he was just looking back and forth side to side...wow I can't wait to see more American bald eagles...I really have never ever ever seen them before...just pictures...
then it was just more cruising around the ocean, looking at more natural environment here...more mountains, waterfalls, animals, and just enjoying the experience...I took a ton of pictures, and once this thing decides to stop hating me and actually starts cooperating with me, then maybe I can download the pics from the cruise that I went on...they are all nature pics, so don't pay attention just because I'm not in them...I reallllllllllyyyyyyyy hate my picture taken..I just can't stand how I look..I look fine in the mirror, then when it comes time for picture taking, my face always looks twisted I think so at least, or I look like I'm about half asleep when really I was just about to say something...
