    In 8th grade I was really really depressed, but freshman year everything did a 180. I got involved in plays and stuff, i played varsity baseball so I made a lot of friends with the juniors and seniors (who were much more mature than anyone in my class). I even dated one of the seniors for 4 months . And that really helped cause part of my depression 8th grade was over a girl. Anywho everythings great now, cept this winter break is kind of sucking for me, had a lot of problems with the computer.

    Pfff, Connecticut > Alaska"


    Alaska is 2/3 the size of the lower fourty-eight, has more national parks, wilderness that reaches into a person soul, wolves, whales, the best fishing anyone can ever experiance, the best hunting, the people are awsome....dude, It's no contest!

    and bears eat you and oil tankers spill there and the whales will eat you and your soul can get lost in alaska because it is 2/3 the size of the lower 48 and it is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really cold there and you can't crap or have sex easily.

    Like you said, dude, It's no contest!

    EDIT: and i'm glad to see there are so many people seemingly living idyllic lives here

    well, hey, nutmeg is good

    Common misconceptions...(forgive my spelling, it's late and I am too lazy to use spellcheck...and to think I want to be a writer!)

    I would wonder, have you actually ever been to Alaska? Or are you one of the multitudes who believes everyone from there lives in an igloo? If I only had a dime for every time Iv'e been asked that one....Ok, Yes, Bears do eat you...you win that one...but at least they keep down the tourists. I have never heard of anyone losing their soul in Alaska, many have found them, but never was one lost...unless you mean literal people, then yes...but again...most were tourists. Oil tankers? Only once in the past 100 years.

    As for *cough* sex and releasing bodily waste *cough* the latter can be tough...but the first is more profitable. Can anyone think of anything more romantic than cuddling up to their wife (newly married for most of you) in a sleeping bag, laying in front of a fire and staring at the darkening sky while listening to a varied thrus twirl away in the woods...and wondering how life can be so wonderful?

    Yeah, there are so many misconceptions about Australia.
    • I dont say 'mate' after everything
    • I dont live in a tin shack
    • I live in a large city (Sydney)
    • We dont have a septic tank and a water catching thinky made out of tin
    • I dont wear country bunkin clothes
    • I do have an okka accent, though...

    Yeah - I cringe everytime I hear an australian actor on US tv. I am conviced they are asked to put that accent on. No one I know sounds like that!

    No kangaroos in the streets either.

    PS: I bet Sydney would have been mad this evening after Waugh's century.

    yeah I was playing counter-strike and we wern't really playing. It was just me shouting "Steve Waugh - 102 NOT OUT!"

    Talking about kangaroos, my dad told me this funny story that happened when we was working for customs. An American came off some boat at port and asked my dad how to get to this place which was beyond the Harbour Bridge. And my dad said to him "Nah, sorry. To get there you need to cross the harbour bridge. Its 5:30 now and between 5 and 6 they close it to let the kangaroos cross." And the guy believed him. Haha...dumb yanks...

    I think I broke a number of road rules trying to get home to see him get it
