Brainstorming activity!

[missroserose]

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. =)

Actually, I hadn't expected it to be particularly glamorous or nice; however, I have a friend who lives there that we'll be visiting, and it'll be nice to be in a place with decent stores and the like. So far as the actual city goes, chances are it'll be like any other big city - too much traffic, smog, apathetic citizens, etc. Though possibly good nightlife.

There's a reason I live in Alaska.

If I had money to move (or ability to get employment) I would be in Alaska in a heartbeat. Probably not Fairbanks or Barrow, or anywhere else too extreme tho.

Anchorage is nice, if you like cities; good scenery, not too big (though this is rapidly changing), decent malls and the like. If you'd rather live someplace smaller, Fairbanks or Juneau would be your best bet. After that, you're either getting into the small bush communities, or else into places like Wasilla and Palmer, which are essentially bedroom communities for Anchorage.

What can I say? I've kind of lived all over Alaska...

I noticed that you lived in Barrow.

What was that like? I always thought it would be cool to visit up there.

Good place to visit; boring place to live. A lot of idiots (I think the reason my last boss up there hired me was so he'd have someone intelligent to talk to); not very many stores (though I did find my love of eBay while living there), high prices (though also well-paying jobs), cold weather, not much scenery (though you'd be amazed how beautiful the tundra looks in the summer after a winter of gray, white, and more gray).

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. =)

Agreement. DO NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER live here. I lived here all my life. I'll let my long list of psychological problems speak for itself. *holds up piece of paper* Go on, tell them what you told me! Damn paper! You never say anything useful! I'll have to burn you like I burned your best friend!
