That was with breaks, so in reality, it took me about 5 hours. I was surprised at how easy it was. The net floats were the hardest part to paint.

I picked up an entry form for submitting art for this years music fest poster, and the theme was "harvest", and whatever that may mean to an Alaskan, so I sat down tonight and for 7 hours (breaks included) I painted this. It's painted in Watercolor. Seiners Harvest I hope I win the $50 and t-shirt. Winners art becomes the poster! Woot, wish me luck!

We all hit potholes in the road of life, some are just a lot bigger than others. You learned a valuable lesson that you will carry with you for the rest of your life Omi. Trust only friends, and those you love and love you back. Things will get better, they always do. Pain lasts in the heart, but how long you let it last is up to you, and you alone. Only you can make it a rainy day in your world. Lessons learned, you have found out what is truly important in life. Giving up is not an option. I have been there, and wanted to do that, but everytime I thought about it, it scared me to death. I was saved from myself only recently, and am forever thankful for this. Starting over is hard to do, but it can be done. I have faith in you buddy, you will persevere through this tough time in life. Be wholesome and pure, and things will look brighter.

sounds like what I did to my bed tonight, but it was just dirty clothes stacked on it.... I usually tru and keep my art projects where I can work on em.... but in my house, space is a hot commodity, and right now, I have a lego tornado to clean up.... Yeah, sometimes I take over the area in the main room, but it tends to tick off my roommates and their friends because they have to step over me and everything else to get to anything. Ooh, a Lego tornado, that sounds fun, though slightly dangerous! -Nukaya

And he called me this morning just a little bit ago to tell me hey, he misses me and loves me. awwww He is such a sweetheart!

Life is so beautiful. Mine has been forever changed by the love of a man who is honest, caring, kind, trustworthy, HANDSOME, fun loving, adventurous and oh SO so SOOO much more. Way too many good things to list! He just left for his next two weeks of work up north, and we miss each other already. I know this time will go by quickly, as he has hard work to do, and I have a moc to build. Last time he was up north, he made me something special out of pipeline steel... Behold, his heart of gold.... He made it on the 11th of March, as shown on the back... We are both champing at the bit for summer to come, of whence we will go on many great adventures! I cannot wait to see what kinds of things were gonna do! Every time he goes up north for work, our love grows stronger, cause its like an eruption of love and passion when he gets home after a shift. We are always happy to see each other, and give a BIIIIG Bear Hug! His daughter has really taken a liking to me too, and she is awesome! I'd love to get her into lego, as she is a really artsy crafty kinda girl. Hopefully we can get a build going when he comes back. We all built a General Grievous kit together, and had great fun doing so! Here's to life, love and happiness! I am eagerly awaiting his arrival home in two weeks. The weather should be RIGHTEOUS upon his return. Its been warm, and the snow is melting fast!

If I pull the trigger, rainbows will shoot out the other side! The gun was a huge hit. I was firing my flintlock all day long! My trigger finger got sore LOL

You are like a younger brother to me Omi. If you ever need any help advice etc, you can always talk to me. I have seen and heard a lot in the short time I have been on the planet, and would be happy to give insight. Life is good, and then it gets better!

I probably wont make it to BrickCon, due to a family trip to Hawaii in November..... :3

The one I have is prettier! :3

I have your lanyard KIE I beleive it had Nuparu on it? Could I send you one of my Hahli's instead? :3 I took a special likeing to Nuparu as I wore him to brickcon. If you say yes to this, you will get a special something made of Lego for your wedding cake!

Tis just water. Thou shalt pass

You fill out the moc cards at the convention.

I cannot say if I can make it to brickfair or not at this time. I will discuss it with my sponsors, and see what can be done.

Ahhh, what a wonderful trip I am having! Getting to spend time with the family is SO AWESOME! My nephew is getting so big! He calls me Aunt Breann now, which is SO FREAKIN BOOYAH! I am stoked! Dad is doing well, as is the rest of the family. Its really fun here, and I need to make an effort to get down here more often to visit family. I really do miss them all. Things are going well with Dean too! We talk everyday, and become ever so much closer. While I am having a great time here, and with BrickFest just around the corner, I can't wait to get back home. Something about home is just wonderful, especially now that Dean is in my life. I cherish him ever so much! Heres to life, love and fun! Oh, and I am going to get me a honda S90..... SO COOL! I got to ride a motorcycle for the first time evah and LOVED IT!

I can has more dark tan than thou....... I really should organize my stuff, and take a pic so you can drool at it.... LOL 20+ avak sets is only a start......

I know he would gladly join BZPower! You watch, he is gonna be an animal when he gets back building again! He told me about the stuff he used to build, and it sounds like it was pretty darn impressive stuff!

It's meant to be Never have I been so sure in my life when it comes to knowing a man. He is honorable, loving, caring and treats me with utmost respect. Never EVER have I had a man like him in my life. We are like two peas from the same pod that got separated at the pea factory, and then put back into the same bag together. We think alike, and truly love each other from the bottoms of our hearts. We spent two romatic days together, cherishing every moment we could spend together, not sharing a kiss until the end of the first day. I went to work as usual, and naturally, the anticipation was killing me. He showed up around 11:30, jumpoing out of his truck, and rushing inside as fast as he could. My boss, Rolf, was absolutely tickled pink when he saw that Dean was my "mystery date". He's known dean since he was a little boy, and speaks very highly of him. So, the bossman let me go for the day so i could spend it with my date. We walked hand in hand on two different beaches, enjoying the beautiful sun that came out just for us. We picked up shells and enjoyed the fresh sea breeze. We then took a romantic stroll through the harbor down the docks, hand in hand, looking at the boats, and enjoying eachothers company. We even got to watch a sea otter munching happily on mussels not 4 feet away. It was a joy to watch it roll around in the water and chow down on the small shellfish *munchmunch* We enjoyed a fulfilling lunch a the Smoke Shack, a breakfast/lunch restaraunt that's in an old alaska railroad train car. Very good food! Nummy nummy! he gave be a lovely malachite bracelet that he got while he was in Mexico. I wear it every day, it matches my eyes so well. We then drove around town for a while, and it was like he was showing me off to the town. lol It was cool. He is very well respected here in Seward, and I know a lot of people were probably talking about us. Rumors spread quickly in a small town like this. We then went over to my house, and I showed him my Bionicle and Lego stuff, which he was like BOOYAH! when he saw it. He is totally into what I build, and he used to build avidly as a child. He wants to start building again, and come to conventions with me! I cannot wait to bring him out of the dark ages! I know that his 6 yr old daughter Calysta would absolutely love to come over and play! I can't wait to meet her! We played Nintendo a bit, and busted it out on the old school games for a while, and finished up the leftovers from lunch. We then went out for a coffee at one of the local art/coffee houses, and enjoyed each others company some more. After that, we stopped and picked up some dinner at the store, and drove out to his house.... Where we played Metroid Prime 3 Corruption on the Wii for HOURS into the night. Needless to say, we were totally smitten with each other even more by the end of the day. The second day, we hung out after work, and had a grand time! I helped him get his tools back home, and we hung out and played more games, and just enjoyed our time. He's really special, and Deep Down I know he is the one. I love him so much! Here he is all suited up for work up north on the slope. He works on an offshore oil rig as a Roughneck Pusher, or Lead Roughneck. In other words, hes got minions to do his dirty work! The drilling equipment needs to be run and well maintained, and he is the GoTo guy!

I have the original set of that walker. Games are always win

I happened to thumb through my grandfathers recipe book a while ago, and I found an exerpt in there that speaks the truth so fine, that one could not take better advice as far as being happy in marriage. I copied what was written, and have brought it here to share with you and your loved ones. Please take the time to read this, and do share it with your parents. They may find it a joy to read. I had to omit a few religious references so abide to the rules of BZPower, but ya get the jist. Old Wisdom for all to share. 17 Points for a Happy Marriage 1) - The very nearest approach to domestic happiness on earth is in the cultivation on both sides of absolute unselfishness. 2) - Never both be angry at once. 3) - Never speak loud to one another unless the house is on fire. 4) - Let each one strive to yield oftenest to the wishes of the other 5) - Let self denial be the daily aim and practice of each. 6) - Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain that a fault has been committed and always speak lovingly. 7) - Never taunt with a past mistake. 8) - Neglect the whole world rather than each other. 9) - Never allow a request to be repeated 10) - Never make a remark at the expense of each other. 11) - Never part for a day without loving words to think of during absence. 12) - Never let the sun go down upon any anger or grievance. 13) - Never meet without a loving welcome. 14) - Never forget the happy hours of early love. 15) - Never sigh over what might have been, but make the best of what it is. 16) - Never forget that marriage is ordained by ****, and that **** blessings alone can make it what it should ever be. 17)-Never be contented till you know you are both walking in the same narrow way I read this exerpt aloud with my Man, and we about cried afterward cause it felt so beautiful to share.

This could be the beginning of the rest of my life. I have had boyfriends before, but this one....... just feels different. I have never felt this way about ANYONE in my life. We both feel like we have known eachother for along time, even though we met not all that long ago. I fee llike this is true love, not some pansy game. He may be the one for me, and me the one for him. I am crossing my fingers. He arrives in town tomorrow. I cannot wait!

Oolichan is the native name for these fish. And yeah, they are so good! Plenty of people around here say they are gross cause its herring, but for the most part, these people have not tried it. A plate of 10 fish disappears fast, and you feel warm and satisfied afterward. The warmth stays with you all day, making it an excellent food for the winter months. If I ever do the Polar Bear Plunge here in Seward and jump into the bay in the middle of winter, I will be sure to eat plenty of Hooligan and drink some cocoa. Good high energy food and drink.

Fish heads Fish heads, Icky Sticky Fish heads. Fish heads Fish heads EAT EM UP YUM! I haven't tried eating the heads yet, I bet they taste awesome!
