Let's Celebrate, It's All Right!

So 3269 big ones were deposited into my savings account by the Alaskan government this morning. I just paid my aunt the last payment for Yuka's surgery last year. And once I deposit my paycheck today I will be able to call down to Walt Disney World and PAY THE BALANCE OFF on our trip.

Actually I *could* do that right now, but I don't want to hee hee.

Then I will be poor again. *sigh*

it was fun while it lasted.

In other news, I will be in Kenai for the next 2.5 days.

The Permanent Fund is on it's way to be a record breaking number! over 2000 big ones for me come october, and if our wonderfully awesome Governor has her way we'll get to tack on another 1200 to offset rising energy costs!


I love Alaska - http://www.adn.com/money/story/476432.html

Yes I'm still majorly p.oed that a certain annoying person has considered I am a nonfan of my favorite sport. That it's just 'something to talk about' for me. BLAH.

Well, maybe he has a point. I am not going to Worlds. I made that decision at US Nationals this year, I'm also not attending US nationals in January. Not a big shocker because we all know where I will be basically that same time frame.

I will be at Walt Disney World with my best friend. Why? Because we rarely see each other because she's down in Montana and I'm in Alaska. It's not a crime to have more than one obsession and Disney just happens to be one of mine. I know I don't need to explain myself, I'm entitled to like what I do and go where I want.

Anyway I got an email from the 'representative for my area' for the 2009 World Championships and I emailed them back saying I would not be going to worlds and that I would appreciate it if they would take me OFF of the mailing list. When I can go for a longer period of time to an over priced theme park and stay ON PROPERTY for less than what I would spend for the NOSE BLEEDS at worlds then I'm going to the over priced theme park.

I got a very curt response from the representative. I have the same feeling about Nationals - it's just not cost effective or me to go. As much as I love spending time with the gang, and hob knobbing with skaters and watching nail biting competition, I cannot justify the cost when we're treated like crap as spectators by the USFSA. In my own little way I am just going to protest. It won't matter much in the long run (and I'm helping a person on the Disney Passporter Boards figure out what she wants to see at nationals - got her hooked last year lol!) but I just can't personally do it.

So yes, I hereby declare myself a nonfan. I am a non fan of the ISU and USFSA's stupid and crappy treatment of me the fan. I will not stuff their pockets so that they can further stick it to me later. IF that makes me unworthy of posting on a certain message board then so be it. ;)
