Permanent Vacation, All I Ever Wanted...
Finally starting to get into Honolulu living. It's AMAZING how laid back things are here. No fast paced city things, just complete relaxation and beauty. Not to say that there isn't a scene, simply the worst one I've ever come across ;) But seriously, the community is just more tight knit than other places, and not really Eurocentric at all. Most people here are of Japanese descent, which is really neat, like most of the art is Asian-American focused. I found one decent indie night and met some SUPER nice people, one of whom is going to audition me for their noise group today. I love my my expensive master bed and bathroom, and the house which I share with an island-born Brit and a cute Japanese gay guy. What more could a girl ask for?
As for the rest of my trip with Glenn, it went amazingly well. Glenny and I never fought except at the very end when he overdrew on his bank balance. But this was really my fault, as I'd begged him to keep the rental car for a few more days (I loved having that thing!) Anyway, we went to a real authentic Luau at the Polynesisan Cultural Center, which was super cool and introduced us to Samoan and Hawaiin dancing. Well, I say authentic, but its actually run by Mormons (seriously!!) But it was too much fun. I think the highlight of our trip for me was going horseback riding in Kuloa Ranch, the location spot for lost (where those huge mountains are!) There simply is no lovelier sight in the world than those mountains, so lush and green even at this time of year. My horse was named Max, and he was a lagger, but Glenn's horse Michelin more than made up for that by eating the entire way. I swear we both had the funniest horses of the group. Funny how I seem to bond with horses super well, and Andy used to call me Horse (just like Julia Roberts, tee hee.)
The heat here is amazingly strong and humid as well, but it takes upping your water drinking by five times. I am already as tan as a haole can get, and I intend to get more beach in today!!
Hang Loose Everyone (Still School Starts),
