On a whim last night Stephan, Rebecca and I went to see the midnight premiere of Star Trek. I figured I'd be up till 11:30 working at Barnes and Noble anyway, might as well go see it.

IT WAS SO SO SO GOOD. It made me happy in SO many ways, and more than just making the trekie in me joygasm. Very different plot line than the original series, which they explained a lot of away with a simple little multiple-dimensions-plot-twist-thing. The cast did an awesome job, Syler-Spock was great, even though I expected him to kill his mother with a pair of scissors.

How they brought the crew together was awesome, the back stories on Spock and Kirk were really good. Kirk was still a man-whore, which made me happy cuz Chris Pine is HOT. How they introduced Bones was great, and Scotty just made me happy.

I was kinda worried when I heard that J.J. Abrams was going to make it more of an action flick, cuz Star Trek has never been about action, it's been about adventure, which are two VERY different things that I kinda think recent Hollywood has forgotten. But I didn't think the movie was too action-y at all, it still felt, very much, like a Star Trek movie. Granted they didnt spend all the time they normally would wandering around planets finding out what's wrong and where, it was more just a *beam*get-everyone-off-now!*beam* than anything else but I think that had more to do with the story line than the director trying to turn it into something it's not.

So, anyway, I liked it, I'd recommend it to someone who WASN'T a trekie and to the crazy people who have Star Fleet uniforms hiding in the back of their closet.

Now be happy with the Spice Kitty

So I haven't made an actual update in a while. I've been working at LuLu's Bread and Bagels for about 3 weeks now (it's kinda like the Fairbanks version of Bloomin Bagels only ALOT more hippy-ish) and I really like it. It's nice to work in a coffee environment without hating it- The owners rock and my manager is just awesome- unlike all the other coffee places I've worked at.
It's nice to have money again, and it's nice to make enough in tips that I can pretty much save my entire paycheck for things like SCHOOL and THE WEDDING.

Also, for those of you not stalking my wedding journal, I acquired plane tickets for my family yesterday for January (w00t!) and I am SO FREAKING excited about it! Not only do I not have to fly this Christmas but MY PARENTS/Sister ARE COMING UP!! They get to see Alaska- FINALLY!


Ok I'm done now.

25 MORE random things about me:
1. Yes I really am this bored.
2. I was one of the 3000 people in Alaska to vote for Obama.
3. My teddy bear obsession (that I’m sure every kid goes through) began with Ewoks.. because they’re not Ewoks to a 2 year old, they’re “The teddy bears in the 3rd Star Wars movie”
4. My first multisyllabic word was “Jedi” my FIRST first word was “cat”
5. I blame my geekyness on my parents.. both of them.
6. Moose Tracks ice cream is the only kind of ice cream I can eat in pints (and actually finish it in one sitting).
7. I’ve lived on my own, with no financial help from my parents, since I was 19 (if you don’t count living in the dorms).
8. My relationship with my parents got better when I moved 5000 miles away, they’re more like friends now, and I love it.
9. The only non-English language I could ever pick up easily was Sign Language, and I plan on being (semi)fluent before I have kids
10. I want a tattoo.
11. Our car, Bessie, is my hero.
12. If I were sick, I’d totally want a doctor like House to treat me.
13. I love Alaska, but have come to the conclusion that it’s a better place to visit than to live.
14. Things I wanted to be when I grew up: Vet, teacher, pro gymnast, dolphin trainer, pro ice skater, fire fighter, forensic lab tech-person, the person who figures out genetic codes for different animals, anything involving a micropipetter and a centrifuge, Marine Biologist or anything involving dolphins really, phlebotomist (which I’m still kinda thinking about as a side job), and Vet Tech
15. If I could instantly know how to play any instrument, it would be the violin.
16. I prefer baking to cooking.
17. I love ice wine, but don’t really care for many other types.
18. One of my favorite things ever is to collect quotes from people, hoard them on my computer, and randomly quote the quotes in everyday conversations.
19. I love to crochet and have completed 2 afghans, several hats, a pair of mittens and too many scarves to count. I want to learn how to make gloves, slippers, and start doing more complex patterns on stuff.
20. However, I hate knitting with a passion. I know how to do it but it is the BANE OF MY EXISTANCE! I would like to try knitting a neck warmer though.. if I can ever get over my hate.
21. I despise beer. Unless it’s raspberry beer ^_^
22. I thought the Twilight movie was better than the book, if only because it didn’t include 300 pages of Bella crying and thinking “WHY DOES HE HATE ME?! IT’S SO UNFAIR!”
23. I’ve recently started reading Terry Pratchett books, and I ADORE Death.
24. One of my most loved possessions is a signed copy of Darwin’s Radio- Greg Bear signed it “Death by Apoptosis!”- it is mostly because of this and other awesomeness that I love Stephan’s Portland friends even though I’ve never met them in person.
25. Even though there are so many things not-right in my life right now, I’m generally happy with the choices I’ve made.

25 Random things about me

Rules: Once you've been tagged, write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I love sleeping in. This of course, is encouraged by the fact that we only get 4 hours of sunlight.
2. I SHOULD be graduating with a 4 year degree in a couple of months. Instead I’m sitting here jobless and not in school.
3. On the plus side, I know what I want to do with my life- I’m giving up on the aforementioned 4 year Biology degree and going for a 2 year Vet Tech degree.
4. I’ve been in a solid loving relationship for just over 3 years without sleeping with anyone else or “taking a break” which is more than most people can say.
5. By the time we get married, I will have been engaged to Stephan longer than we dated BEFORE we got engaged.
6. I’ve lived with 2 guys for the past 3 years, in varying apartments, with varying guys.
7. I’m slightly OCD and ADD- not a good combination, but one that’s oddly suited to what I want to do with my life.
8. I was fired TWICE in 2008 (more than in the rest of my life). Once from a job I couldn’t care less about, and once from a job I loved- and I’m still not over it.
9. I miss the East Coast.
10. I want to live in Maine, Stephan wants to live in the Pacific Northwest…. This has been the subject of many MANY arguments.
11. I want to be done having kids by the time I’m 30.
12. But for now, I have a puppy. She’s fluffy and black and takes up more room on the bed then I do.
13. I’ve recently found out what it’s like to have an older brother… and I’m not sure if I approve.
14. Jobs I’ve had since coming to Alaska: Barista/ Pizza maker, Animal Caretaker for research animals including Musk Ox and Caribou, Barista, Mary Kay Consultant, Deckhand on a Riverboat for 2 weeks, and Vet Assistant for 3 months before getting fired for not knowing things no one ever told me.
15. Way too many of my friends are procreating
16. I miss school. Now that I know what I want to do, I just want to DO it.
17. I miss Field Hockey and wish I knew more people up who played here so I could just hit some balls around
18. My earliest nickname was Linus because “I was smart and carried a blanket around everywhere” according to my Dad
19. I’ve never bit my fingernails.
20. I’ve never been to another country but there are several on my list of places to see before I die
21. I never broke a bone till I was 20.. then I fractured my sacrum by tossing my cookies… a lot. The resulting back problems have still not resolved themselves.
22. I am a Nerdfighter
23. I could not survive without books.
24. With Sarah and Beqa, I acquired a Wii Fit last week. And I think they did a really good job with it. They have multiple motivational factors to keep you going and it's fun! Especially the Hula Hoops!
25. I’m trying really hard to lose weight, not just because Im getting married in a year, but also because I think less weight will put less pressure on my back and I’m just tired of looking in the mirror and disliking what I see.

I tag... people *shifty eyes*

So my mom is doing fine. She's home from the hospital and resting- she wont be going into work for another couple of nights.

They're gonna test her for sleep apnea next week. Which of all the things it could have been, sleep apnea is NOT the worst thing out there. At least it an be treated.

She thinks what caused the seizure was an extra pillow... she was sitting up in bed doing a sudoku or something and when she got tired she just put the book down and went to sleep and her head was more tilted forward than it should have been which cut off her airway, blocked oxygen to her brain and caused the seizure. So she's gonna sleep on flatter pillows and on her side more often, which is good.

So yes, everything's ok *sigh of relief*

So I was woken up this morning from my dad calling to tell me that my mom had a seizure earlier today. She came home from work (she works night shift), slept for a couple of hours and my dad heard her sound like she was choking so tried to wake her up and couldn't. He called the paramedics, and when he got her awake, there was blood in her mouth (she bit her tongue) and she said she hurt everywhere and was almost delirious. They got her to the hospital and did some tests, all of which came back fine. They did a CAT scan which confirmed she had a seizure, but no brain damage. They're gonna keep her for the rest of today and tomorrow to watch her cuz if she's gonna have another one, it's probably gonna happen within the next day.
She should be fine, I'm just rather freaked out at the moment.

God I wish I could Apparate.

FUCK! There are some times I really hate being in Alaska.

The worst part is just NOT KNOWING!

(Sorry this is all vague and stuff... I'll explain later)

It is currently 5:39am and I am sitting in the Anchorage airport. Ive been here since midnight and my plane doesnt board for another hour. However, I have discovered the free wireless and am taking full advantage of it to tell some stories/ some things I learned (or relearned) on this trip.

1) Long layovers suck. For example, the one I am currently living through.
2) Short layovers suck even more than long ones.
We had a (no lie) 20 minute layover in Salt Lake City this time around and thank god our flight was early, and thank god all the Delta flights are all in the same terminal and we only had to walk like 20 feet to the next gate cuz seriously? I was freaking out. Also, thank you to the deli right across the way from the gate cuz it meant we didnt have to buy crappy-expensive airplane food.
3) Not all children on airplanes are the spawn of all evil.
We had several on our flight to Anchorage and most of them had GOOD PARENTS *gasp* and weren't crying the entire 5 hours.
4) DayQuil might hate me.
I had this plan... I was going to stay awake through both legs of our trip till we got to Anchorage where I would sleep and sleep and sleep till it was time to make the hop to Fairbanks. And I had been starting to get some weird sinus thing while I was at home so I acquired some DayQuil to 1. Fix my nose and 2. Keep me awake. I took it almost at the end of our first leg and by the time I got to the next plane, had something to drink and ate my non-airplane-food-deli-sandwich I was asleep. DEAD ASLEEP. I was up and perky and happy for about 2.5 hours before I crashed, and I crashed so fast that it kind of scared me (like I made Stephan promise to monitor my breathing). It was the weirdest thing ever.
5) I miss my puppy.
6) Traveling with someone is EXACTLY as glorious as I thought it would be, if only just because I could pee without having to drag my EVERYTHING with me into the tiny little stall. Also, shoulders rock as pillows.
7) Be careful when acquiring books while on a trip, they just might push your suitcase over the weight limit, causing some rushed rearranging between said suitcase and Stephan's checked duffel bag.
8) Always have an extra book... or 3.
9) Boyspants are the perfect traveling pants.
10) Did I mention long layovers suck?

Back in Fairbanks soooooon!!
