Brainstorming activity!
Well, I've got a six-month anniversary coming up in a week and it's been made clear to me (not naming names) that this is a special occasion that needs to be marked somehow. So, does anyone have any suggestions for a special kind of present, or something I could do, to make this a happy day? Preferably that doesn't involve too much money?
I need ideas, people. All thoughts (however random or implausible) are welcome. And judging by the people who read my LJ, chances are they'll be pretty random. =)

I don't think you should celebrate with a present. You should celebrate by saying
AdamI love you, and then going out to dinner and maybe a non-crappy movie. It's spring, so there are a lot of crappy movies out there. Pick a good one.Re:

Just so you know in advance, it really isn't that nice. Sorry to burst your bubble. (Everybody is under the impression that it's this glamorous place for some reason).

What can I say? I've kind of lived all over Alaska...
Re:
What was that like? I always thought it would be cool to visit up there.
Re:
It'd probably be cool to visit. I wouldn't recommend moving there, however, unless you were offered a six-figure job that you love like my mother was. =)

(Anonymous) 2004-02-24 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)I was always taught that the one year anniversary is the paper anniversary... so I was thinking what is worth less than paper? And the only thing I could come up with was newspaper. So my suggestion is to go out on the day in question and get a newspaper. Then cut out the banner with the date on it and search through the newspaper for the funniest/scariest/most stupid/most whatever story/advert/personal/photo. And then give this (maybe stuck in a card.. or something equally sophisticated) as your present. What could be more romantic than a tale of woe and misery or fun and laughter or some celebrity you've never heard of opening some place you'll never go to? The possibilities are in fact limitless.
If that just seems too much effort or too lame.... I'd suggest dinner and sex (assuming it is a romantic anniversary with a bloke... after all most of us guys are very easily pleased).
However, if it has just turned into a where not to live forum. I'd like to give my tuppence to Tower, Minnesota. A town of 479 people with more churches than bars..... and a really scary place to live if you don't have a car and it's the middle of winter.

But maybe ice cream is to cold considering you are living in Alaska.
I wonder if there is any hotter application for this type of food...
About the whole living stuff: Try Bielefeld, Germany. Medium sized city (translation: More than one club, but no real nightlife whatsoever.) and moderate climate (which means: neither a real winter, nor a real summer. But the sky is grey most of the time). Not really great, but you could do worse.
