With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

I MISS PORTLAND! Okay, so I miss going to Blazers games and sick concerts all of the time. Alaska is definitely lacking in those areas. But hell yeah, the Blazers are KILLING it right now. I really hope they win against the Lakers tonight. Eep.

In other news, treatment is still going really well. Radiation makes me sick sometimes, but whatever. Hopefully, this will all be over in a few weeks.

My boyfriend, Axel, is the most amazing person ever! My parents LOVE him, and his love me. I don't get to see him very often right now because he leaves for 2-3 weeks at a time for work, but when we're together, we're always doing fun shit: snowmobiling, four-wheeling, shooting his 25 or so guns (and some of mine), mini golfing (I love that shit!), building bird boxes with my dad, camping, mini road trips, cooking, and teaching each other how to play instruments. My dad, he, and I already have a few hunting and fishing trips planned this spring and summer. He has a 3000sqft house on ten acres of forest by a lake that he bought in December, and I'm moving in there in about a month.

Oh yeah, and we're each adopting a puppy; he's getting a black German shepherd, and I'm obviously getting a blue pit bull.

The only part that sucks is that he's a powderman (in other words, he gets paid approximately $80 to fly out to pretty much anywhere in Alaska for a few days to a couple of months and blow shit up). It can REALLY suck not being able to see him for extensive periods, but oh well. Some of the villages he goes out to don't have internet or phones, either. He gets back from Ouzinkie in a week and a half and then heads up to Barrow a couple of days later. He's bringing me with him for a week this time, though!

Okay, that's enough gushing about him. Work rocks; my relationship with my parents is better than it has been for the past decade; and my sister and I just bought my parents a sick ass honeymoon to Belize for two weeks for their 25th anniversary. Life is looking up right now.

Fuck dude, I didn't know they could even put that kinda shit in a laptop. Technology has gotten so crazy since I stopped paying attention to computers a couple years ago, that would have been like a two or three grand desktop if you got everything off Newegg. Jesus. Take care of her haha.

Just found a badass place to live!!! Putting the deposit down tomorrow.

It's 100 cheaper than I thought I'd pay ($900 a month for 2 of us. so 450 each). Nice location, close to school, 4 blocks from the beach (!!!), nice hardwood floors, good bathroom, a garden outside that we can use, a PRIVATE tennis court...damn, I can't believe it. It's a basement suite of this huge house a rich family lives in. They are really nice too.

(For all van people, it's at 4th and Blanca).

So I am sure that everyone has seen this edit, but if you haven't............
I am so stoked and proud of this little girl...   I knew it!

https://newschoolers.com/web/content/viewvideo/id/261289/cat/top/


The interesting part about it (to me)  is that I asked quickly in NSG for song suggestions and threw the edit together in less than an hour.  edited, rendered, posted.   The clips just seem to naturally flow to the music.


I am so freaking stoked that the edit is being so well received.  I knew once I posted an edit of her it would be popular, but not this extent.  3500 views in 48 hours - 100 comments or so and top 10 rated..  BAM

oh !  PAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So I made the decision that I was staying single until at least friday, and I upheld that.  Then it only took me about ten minutes into saturday to change it.  Ahhhhhh....I don't know if this belongs here, or in the "meh" thread.  She is cool and I have known her for quite a while, but on the other hand I should probably chill the fuck out for a while.  Dammit anyway!

And... she can sort of keep up, better than most. Not only that, but we've got even more in common than I thought.

This needs to go places.

Honestly, I care more about the fact that she skis, hikes, writes, and thinks that showering too often is stupid.

Interior decorating abilities aren't even on my radar screen.

I just hired a super awesome babysitter. She played with my kids a bit last summer, and her interaction was phenomenal. I am super anal about who I let watch my children without me around. So I asked her about this summer and she's game. AND she's totally psyched about it (a good sign of a great sitter). This means I can do the sports program with the local camp and my kids can come too. Sa-weet!

I skied for about five hours in the rain today with my 10 year old cousin. She took a fall early in the day and broke her goggles, but she didn't want to quit so I lent her my goggles. The conditions were so utterly terrible that it became really fun to just cruise slushy groomers completely soaked without goggles. Gotta get one of those kind of days in every few seasons.
