So I clicked on your profile - because I've apparently now become some crazy nurse stalker. Who knew? No, seriously, the Joss Whedon? Come on... Then your profile made me cry.
Because my daughter and I worked for three summers at a burn camp in Washington state. I was a classroom teacher for 18 years and had a chance to live up at the camp one summer and did it and we both loved it. Those kids ... oh man, very special to me.
And then I got married again. And now I have a very sweet baby. In addition to my 12-year-old daughter. And you like babies! And Firefly!
I know - I was just reading through some of the comments on here and was thinking, "Ding, Ding, there's another one!"
Yep, the Army decided that I, the pregnant wife with the pre-adolescent daughter, should live in Fairbanks while my husband is in Iraq. I'm sure there was a logic there. We love it up here, but it is remote and I've never lived anywhere where the outdoors can kill you in under 5 minutes before. Not to mention the moose. But the people are wonderful. And the climate is nice and dry - so I've had really good hair for the last two years. Northern Lights are gorgeous.
My preference would probably be to live in Anchorage. Not quite as ... climatically terrifying. And, in my opinion, it's prettier. But I'm from Seattle - so I really love snow-capped peaks and shiny water - which Anchorage has.
So see - who knew that a Mod post saying "Don't Feed the Mods!" would cause me to befriend a mod??? I feel so guilty now. Sort of. But not really. Because I'm not scary.
