For the first time in my life, I have been laid off! ME?! Unbelievable. I guess those yuppy ass mother fuckers thought I was too big league for their chump ass shit.. I'm still a little salty. I've been eating like a king though, and it's a big thanks to my other boss's generosity. And I found a place where I'm going stock up of furniture for labor, whatttt?!

Adventures!

I'm trying to visit Thailand. Also, thinking about getting a smaller place with less roommates, but that's still in the works. Straight chillin!

At this moment I am sitting on the lanai,  it'salways a little cooler at night a breezy so hoodie and blankets are key. My favorite spot to unwind. Sometimes I lay and watch the clouds here, and sometimes I lay and watch the stars here.

I have a conundrum I've been faced with, and I don't know what to do. Rules are rules, right?

I still don't have a bed. I really need to get on that.

The moon directly above me is two days from full. Its a cool 74 degrees. In the clouds I see two ying yang fish, a camel and Africa as they quickly shift across the sky. The house across the street added an eerie set up with life-size figures in adorned garments under their canopy in their front yard. I'm curious to investigate, but I'll wait for sunshine. The lights on Palolo allow a clearer view to the teared streets of neighborhoods winding throughout the plots for homes carved neatly into the mountainside. It is a quiet Friday evening. Slowly the surrounding window lights turn out and the night begins to set.
Today I went to the local craft store and stocked up on some supplies! I need to be creative, make something. I wandered through the store, idea jumping off of the shelves. I really like what I decided on.

Tonight was a whirlwind of an evening.. Meeting certain people can be an extraordinary thing, and then sometimes you just keep walkin. Different people with changed understandings. Maybe they know something we don't, maybe they're just making means. Just going with the flow from highs to lows. Badoooomm!! It's 4am ha!  "She's slick" ..Damn right.

It's November?!

Yesterday I got to drive a bemer around almost the entire island. Angel and I started early and hit the Pali Highway with the sunroof open and a zippy car we headed out to Kailua beach and floated and sunbathed for about 3 hours. The clouds were rolling in, just a bit! So we drove on to Hanama Bay (huge tourist attraction, great snorkeling). Kinda gandered about seeing pretty views and peculiar people. We cruised all the way to Ka'ena Point. The west side is suuper local. There's a huge chunk missing out of the beauty that's used for a military firing range. )hem.(
These damn cats got me feelin' all homeless.The thing is, Bell know she is not all allowed in my room and respects that. She does her thing, I do mine. She does get a little handsy with my mealtimes, but overall she leaves me alone and I'm cool with that. Mickey and I are tight. No one else likes him, and he knows it. He's so chill we bond continuously. And then there's Sebastian good for damn nothing, orange hellion, bastard cat. Pissing on my clothes, trying to steal my drinks.. The latest, he ran up my screen and popped my air mattress, which is weird because he's not supposed to be in my room in the first place. So NOW I have to sleep in the living room until I either a. Try to do an exchange and yell at Walmart, or b. Tape the shit out of it. I have the box but not the receipt. And I'd bring a really good uncomfortably stranded camper story.
Speaking of stories! I thought of a time in the Old Port with my partner in crime, Erin Wad. It was mid Spring 2012, when we embarked on an average night out on the town which never turns out to be so. Whether it was something in the air, the alignment of the moons or a shift in awareness. As we walked to Old Port Tavern, our favorite divebar, we noticed an unusual amount of clowns all throughout the streets. Not that an amount if clowns would be usual. We arrived at OPT, grabbed some grateful deads and grabbed a table. From the bar to the dance floor vibes were strange. The final straw that pulled us out of the place was the creepiest freaking clown man of my life. Immediately outside of the bar there was a very large man with a bulletproof vest and without a smile, who was accompanied by a box-topped fool dancing an upright worm with a family sized bag of Lays potato chips. We were feeling like tonight was too odd to cope and we took a walk. Down Wharf St, we were approached by a friendly German man. After multiple courteous attempts at ditching the guy, we found a way to swiftly make our break. As we walked away from him he yelled, "Good luck, you'll need it!" As we hustled on our way all about out little city, people reappeared in the strangest of ways!  <3 love your love waddydingerbabypie
I almost forgot! Tonight I was taking the bus back from an appointment and the stop was riddled with hoodlums and jail bait. A group of 10 or so local boys who I'd say were about 14 were making a ruckus. One of them jumps in front of oncoming traffic and starts banging on the windows. Another pushes him back onto the sidewalk. Just as a car rolls by two of the kids jump and hang onto the car by the sunroof. The driver slams on his breaks and punches one kids hands, causing him to fall off but land on his feet. This fills him with so much juice that he punches the dudes window. The car takes off speeding as one kid is still hanging on then slammed on his breaks, sending the kid flying and smashing into the curb. They all go nuts and chase at the car while it speeds away. One of them starts asking me for money, and I said I didn't have any. They finally jump on A and I waited for a few more minutes just as a friend shouts, "hey, Kristen! Need a ride?" I said YUP and got in the truck so fast. Oh me oh my!

Halloween in Waikiki was a whirlwind! I don't know how else to explain it really. Deciding to use the costume that I already had even though I really wanted to be something scary, I was a zombie Wonder Woman. Gin and gingers all night! So many crazy costumes and people just having a good time. Walking the strip, house party, hitting some bars, walking around the party in the streets. Oh and warm weather, of course. Today has actually been extremely windy and rainy. So there were more rainbows than usual. And even when it's raining, it's enjoyable. It was nice to have everything cool. There was a pretty mean storm over night and early morning and all of the sudden this big emergency horn starts going off through the streets! And I'm like, uhh... Apparently it's just a tsunami warning that they test every 1st of the month. Oh. I was dragging today! We went to Cosco to wander and try a bunch of samples. Josh and Alex got an extra large pumpkin pie and I left with 8lbs of ground of beef. I'm thinking about making a giant family meatloaf and I have a ton of potatoes and carrots that someone gave me.
Made me laugh- the house I'm living in with 9 people is a super Cali house (and not as in califragilisticexpialidocious). Everyone is from all over California. And the other day everyone was talking about what color the gatorade was inside one of those green containers. Everyone starts yelling, "orange!" But hearing all of them say orange over and over again was so funny because of the way they say it, and I just had to laugh to myself, because I was outnumbered on that one. Oh the life of an East Coast howley.
