la_belle_laide | Hula ambition, storm a-comin (Reply)

Hmmm, not all too much to report, same old same old. The weather is nice and warm, flowers are blooming but honestly it's a little boring sometimes; it feels sometimes like there's nothing really fabulous to look forward to. You know, no visits or trips or anything. My Wonderful Glassworker Friend visits but she's the only one. I do tend to think once in a while that people are afraid to visit; like it's going to be a house of mourning or something. Which it isn't. Just a little boring. :) I'm still peeved that I started to really like that one guy and he had to go away for the summer. MAI POINA.

But, it's easy to start to feel sorry for oneself! So best not to do that.

Actually, yesterday my fave aunt sent me a message just to say "Hi, you're awesome, have confidence in yourself and be happy." It's not the kind of thing you hear often and it really made my day.

I've got 3 birds: two starlings and a grackle. They're really sweet and fun. Getting another one tomorrow, I think, though I don't yet know what kind. A robin would be nice. A nice, fat, noisy, healthy baby robin.

Say, Sano's been freaking out for about an hour, trying to hide in the bathroom and trying to crawl under my chair and stuff and I'm like, "WTF is wrong with you, go in your bed!" And I just found out we're having massive thunderstorms pretty soon and it's been thundering like crazy just east of here. I should trust him!

My Mom let me borrow her VCR-->DVD recorder, and I put some old Hula dances on DVD. I'm not sure they play on my DVD player yet 'cause I haven't popped them in, but they do not work on my computer. Hahani Mai is coming along – I can't believe it's eleven years since I learned it. Trying to also re-learn: O Pau'o (Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu,) Maunaleo (Keali'i Reichel,) and Hi'ilawe (Chinky Mahoe.) I used to own Hi'ilawe, and Hahani Mai but that was a long time ago. Hi'ilawe did really start to come back to me, actually. It's not too hard.

Ooh, I have a Hula show on the 19th. That is going to be mad fun. There's something awesome to look forward to! I'm even thinking about making my own Tahitian hip hei out of my own plants. I've got an Adam's Needle that would do a great job with this. I get very ambitious during Hula season – whether or not I'll actually do this remains to be seen. :) La Toere! I will make that mine. :)

Oh, now I hear the thunder. Damn, the storm's a-comin. I should go running before it hits. Oh yeah, I got some really fly running shoes yesterday. AND, an entirely too-cute bathing suit. Now, if only the occasion would come to get all dolled up. Maybe I'll take a beach day one of these days, when it's super hot. Just put on my new bathing suit, pack a lunch and something to drink, and hit the beach. Yeah, that's what I should do, once it's really hot. ^_^

Okay well, I'd better get jogging before the lightning and rain follow. Byeeeee.

Oh yeah, and my fish tank finally cleared up. PRAISE BE TO THE GODS OF FISH TANKS. ^_`
