First Post

Hi, my name's Brooke. This is my first post on my new blog, so I'll start out by telling you about myself.
Well, lets see, I live in Alaska, yeah that's right Alaska, America's last frontier stuff like that. You know what I kinda just gonna go off and speak my mind right now. Almost every time I go out of state and tell someone in the lower 48 that I'm from Alaska there is always someone there that asks, "Do you live in igloos?" the answer to there question would be "sorry no". But actually if this person knew more about Alaska he/she might know that in a language up here igloo means house/home/living area. Then again people usually don't know that, so this person is most likely either very confused or just straight out being totally moronic. Probably the oddest question that I have been asked was "How do you get to school?" and then I responded by saying "what?" then they said "Do you get around by dog sled or what?" I looked at this person thinking is he an idiot or just fooling around so I said "Oh, well up in Alaska I have a pet polar bear named Binky that I ride all the time." The kid looked really surprised with this answer and ran off and told his friends about it.
Okay, sorry got a little of track there sometimes I let my mind wander and I'll bring up things that happened awhile ago. Now I'll continue about myself I love the outdoors, but yet ironically I guess you would say, I HATE living in Alaska! I want to live in California or some place with just a lot of theme parks with roller coasters I mean I'm like obsessed with heights and going fast, but living Alaska you don't have that. Yeah, I'll admit it, at first it is really awesome when you see a seven to eight foot tall moose come right to your door or see a hundred sum what bear digging through your trash that will give you thrills. But I've been living here for twelve loooong years thats like all my life. Then there also the family thing, yeah I have my intermediate family and all, you know like mom, dad, 2 older brothers, and 2 younger sisters (yes, that makes me the middle child), but not that besides that I hardly ever see any of my aunts, uncles, cousins, or even my grandparents. I only see my my other family on really rare occasions. That's also the reason why I mention California before, as it is the where mostly all my family is around that area it's just sad.
Well, anyway sorry to put you through that if you actually stuck through to the end of this post I would like to thank you for reading this.
THANK YOU!
