Toto, We're Not In Scotland Anymore

Jun 20, 2010 14:19

I am so much less interesting when not in Scotland. Because even when i was doing much the same as i am now--dinking around on LJ all day--at least I was in Scotland. I'm not depressed, bbs, but i am sort of...meh. So, in order to educate you and remind myself what it means to be Alaskan, dun dun DUH...

- There are carharts hanging by the door, and ( Read more... )

alaska: we're cool, do i really need a real life tag?, full of ennui

You're still plenty entertaining, bb. No Scotland needed for that. *smishes*

I have to admit, though... your family sounds much more interesting then mine. Mine are just mad. (an outhouse? seriously?)

[and on a Adam note: totally maybe/possibly/most likely planning on going to Glam Nation again in September. *grins*]

queenklu June 20 2010, 02:15:29 UTC

*smish* Thanks. And my family isn't interesting, just highly highly bizarre. (Seriously. An outhouse.)

Oh man, bb...Just be careful with all this Glam Nation stuff. Adam is like a drug, a sexy glitter-blooded drug. That makes you buy $35 gloves. BE CAREFUL. LEAVE YOUR WALLET AT HOME AT LEAST.

Bizarre is better then mad. >_<

I KNOW! I had glitter in the bloodstream after the concert. It was insane. I'm now a glitter junkie. I NEED MORE. (and yes, I shall not bring money this time. I already got the shirt and the gloves... unless they end up selling, like, locks of Adam's hair or vials of his glitter-sweat or whatever, I probably won't be buying anything. probably. but I can't guarantee anything.)

you forgot to mention that summer is construction season including on peoples homes...but on the bright side there is a cute little place in Palmer that sells handmade chocolate...and its really good...

Really? Do you know the name? Mom and i were planning on hitting up the new Gelato place off KGB but we got sidetracked by clothes. Plus side: CUTE NEW DRESS. And you know me, not a dress person!

-What are carharts and bunny boots?

-I've seen Jensen wear flannel. And so does Dean. Secret Alaskians, perhaps?

-You have a head hanging in the backyard. Awesome.

-An outhouse? Really? Please tell me you do have an actual toilet in the house. *g*

-I have not seen Jennifer's Body. Do tell!

Oh sigh. You silly Aussies. ;D

- Carharts are these: http://www.whatscoolinalaska.com/2009/10/carhartt-clothing.html and Bunny Boots are these: http://www.greatlandofalaska.com/reference/faq.html#bunnyboots

- Obvs. Seekrit Alaskans: We're In Ur Televisions, & Ur Doin It Wrong.

- Yes, really. And YES we have toilets in the house--three of them. Dad's main argument for an outhouse is "But what if the power goes out?" to which we answer "If the power is out that long, the zombie apocalypse will give us more to worry about than not having a place to poo outside."

- It's just. It's funny? But also a horror flick? Basically every time you think 'Okay, now is the part where i take it seriously,' something happens that makes you go WHAAAAT? Loudly, and repeatedly. While pointing at the screen.

That does sound like something out of a movie to me... I'm intrigued :D. Must visit someday. But since I'm horribly whiny about being cold/wet and mosquitos like to eat me alive I'd probably make the worst tourist ever. *g*

queenklu June 21 2010, 06:51:15 UTC

You could come in the summer! The mosquitos haven't been so bad these last couple years and there is repellent! (And screened in porches!) I would be happy to have you bb! <3

tanpopo03 June 21 2010, 09:30:26 UTC

Heh, yeah, someday hopefully!! Just need to find some sponsors first...

YOU ARE VERY INTERESTING IN ALASKA BB

OK first - is it wrong that I want to see a picture of Smiley? Also, any kind of down home pic spammage would be awesome if you weren't, you know, squickish about pics on t'webz. For instance we need to be able to give our opinion on the outhouse in the back yard, to see if it will improve things aesthetically.. *g*

Second - what are carharts and bunny boots *clueless*

I also don't know about Jennifer's Body but I think I'm ok with that.

That's so cool about the bears and the moose (meese?)

I feel your pain re: mosquitos - those things love me and within a nano second of being around one I look like I've got chicken pox - so attractive and comfortable.

Oh wait, I see someone has asked about bunny boots and carharts, I will go check them out.

And you smoke your own salmon? This is very impressive for someone from south east England.

In short *points to icon*

ETA: Quote from the carharts link:

'Carhartt clothing is actually the timeless little black dress of construction chic'lol ( ... )

Re Picspammage: I'll think about it! Maybe under a locked post? I trust everyone i've friended to not fly all the way to the State Time Forgot to track me down via the reflective surface of a passing car or something. (I watch NCIS, these things happen.) But really? Smiley? He's not...taxidermied or anything. He's sort of...mummified.

My dad told me later that Jennifer's Body is set to become a cult classic--this made SO MUCH SENSE. It's entertaining, really, in a WHAAAAT? sort of way. ;D

And you smoke your own salmon? Yep. It's nothing too impressive, just a small metal box with racks to lay the fish on, and i have to change the woodchips out when they get crispy and sometimes baste the salmon.

'Carhartt clothing is actually the timeless little black dress of construction chic'--this is sadly sort of true. Sort of, in that It's Not Just For Construction Any More!
