Yikes! Glad he's ok!

Eep! Glad he's ok though!

Oh and I made it to Scotland in one piece but had to leave my computer behind :( Couldn't risk not having enough to make it to Scotland instead of England. I have now been totally disowned... yay me! :D

Can you send for your computer? Grats on now being free!

Glad to hear you've made it home safe, Jet. Gratz on being disowned, too! They don't fucking deserve to have you in their lives anyway, just remember that :hug

Happy unlawful rebellion against a legitimate government day, Americans!

Well hopefully I'm returning to Canada in a couple of months, but if I can't Guy said we can work something out for him to mail it over to me. No one said a thing to me through the 5 billion passport/security checks that I went through, except at Iceland they told me to renew my passport soon...no shit, why'd you think I was leaving a place where I was perfectly happy...lol.

But omg 2 or 3 months with no EQ.... /shudder.

if you go back, will you try to get canada citizenship? ( so you dont have to go back to Europe again unless you want to)

We couldnt pop fireworks in central Texas on the 4th. We had red flag warnings and it was a 1500 dollar fine if you were caught with fireworks. In other words, was just too dry to be firing them off. I was semi looking forward to some firework shows....oh well =(

Barely heard any going off here either, but ours was the opposite problem. Storms rolling in the night before and the night of.

The party I went to for the 4th was hosted by the folks who do the Halloween party I go to every year. We set off 3 grand worth of fireworks; took about a half hour. Thankfully, even though it had been rather dry the past few weeks, it rained for a solid two hours before we had scheduled the show. Also got some awesome video of fireworks with lightning in the background :)

I had a fantastic doctors visit yesterday. My doctor chastised me for being malnourished, then told me something like 40% of america is and that I should eat better.(somehow i'm not eating well now? i'm eating better for me than i've ever had doc) My fainting spells were being caused by my blood pressure being too low, I'd knocked off a good 4 pounds in 3 weeks (which he was happy with and didn't lecture me about starving myself again) and my a1c was 6.4. My doctor cheered and told me I'm doing really well. He then gave me an order to eat yogurt once a day (yuuuuck). So I'm getting healthier, a little bit at a time, and my medications are in the fine tuning range. My heart sounded stronger and better than it has in years.

So why do I feel so incredibly depressed? I still have goals and things to work towards - I am fighting to find a part time job and be productive (and non-poverty) again. I miss my people which are at fanfaire, and I didn't realize that the five or so hours we spend a night together in voice really meant THAT much to me.

Yar I'm grumpy and jealous. I wish I was there with them.

We held an international cook off here at the resort with all the students for the 4th then drove down the valley and sat up on a hill on some boulders for fireworks. Instead of one big show we could see all of Salt Lake City and it's surrounding cities. There were literally 100s of fireworks shows going off for 150 degrees as the sun set behind the mountains. It was amazing.

Today we were up in the mountains mapping and there is still 8 feet of snow so we ski back down the slopes in our boots. I had to wait on a couple of guys at the top of this huge slope - there were 4 of us up there. The other 20 students lined up like a firing squad at the bottom with snowballs ready so we got one for each hand and took off at blazing speeds right at them. I got hit in the face so hard my glasses went flying, I spun around still moving - hit two girls with two snowballs before flipping over and sliding backwards down the hill. This is awesome.

Seen any evidence of Bigfoot yet Vulash?

I think I have a sunburn on my ears. Not cool.

Hells yeah lol, I'll be applying for that as soon as I'm eligible!

I'm so fucking bored here :(

The last time I had sunburn on my ears - 98 or 99 or so - I was able to peel a full, free-standing shape of my outer ear off.

That's gross LOL

No, but I saw a baby moose with it's mama. I also forgot to mention that the American entry for the cook off was gourmet hot pockets and hot dogs (sliced up with bbq sauce) served by a guy with a pornostache, cut off american shirt, and pink sun glasses. I'll try to get a picture.

hah fun fun
