A very unexpected Thing (supercoolawesome Thing) happened yesterday.

So I'm out in the backyard doing the rounds for fruit, and I've arced around the breadfruit tree and I'm starting to sidle around the mountain apple tree with a very ripe breadfruit in my hand, and as the lowest branch of the mountain apple tree starts to come into view I come face-to-face with a large brown bird and I think, "GAH, BIRD!" and I

I DON'T KNOW

I AM MAGICAL OBVSLY

Dude. I thought this post was from Lauren for a second and I was all, "So Lauren is in Hawaii now too?"

That bird probably things you're a creeper.

Hahaha, fooled by the icon and picture of hawk~! It's okay, we're almost the same person anyway. (This is how you tell us apart: Lauren's Current Music would never ever be Lady Gaga.)

If I'm a creeper, then bird is an attention whore. She sure didn't seem to mind me staring at her.

Hey, man. You never know. Those crazy masters students could be changing our Lauren up. YOU NEVER KNOW.

[zolac_no_miko]

Somehow I doubt it. Lauren's all DEATH BEFORE GAGA and stuff.

...But you're right, we can't actually be sure. I think to be safe we should just assume her new favorite musician is Justin Bieber.

I've been lucky enough to see hawks, buzzards, an owl and various other wild animals...I nearly got ran down by a stag once, when I was out for a walk one night. Turtles, possums, racoons, various waterfowl-it's always amazing to see these animals up close. They're real! So much more alive than seeing them on tv or in movies, you know? REAL! :D

I've put myself in the position to see lots of really excellent wildlife (I spend a lot of time in the wilderness and marginal areas), but this is the closest I've ever been to a wild Hawaiian hawk... and ever will be, I expect. It's kind of hard to beat two meters away from my face.

I once spent two hours watching a raccoon fish in the stream behind my dorm in the middle of the night. HE WAS SO CUTE. I named him Rocky. :D /dorky Beatles reference

IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A SIGN. ...A sigh of what, however, evades me. MAYBE JUST A RANDOM SIGN.

[zolac_no_miko]

STOP. NO SMOKING. HANDICAP ACCESS. DO NOT ENTER. SORRY WE'RE CLOSED. DANGER POISON. NO PARKING. BABY ON BOARD. HELLO THERE I AM A HAWK HOW ARE YOU TODAY.

Wow, how awesome is that! The behavior does make it sound like a juvy, that's for sure. Anyway, pretty cool. I am jealous. :(

[zolac_no_miko]

I KNOW, RIGHT? It was so so so cool and FREAKING BIZARRE! I feel so incredibly lucky. ;_;

I thought of you, natch.
