you probably didn't know this but my dream was to drink cocktails from a pineapple in hawaii

and waikiki delivered. i don't want to bore you with details because basically my strength is in reporting on the inane not on the marvellous. but if i were to jump up on the white board and brainstorm the cocktail experiences i would put up the words: mai tai bar, hawaiian shirted band playing jimmy buffet songs, free nuts, australian hitting on us, tasty tasty cocktails, sunset, warm and barman that was the long lost identical twin of my brother. with the exception of the australian-trying-to-guess-where-in-new-zealand-we-were-from conversation it was perfection.

this holiday was the best idea helena ever had. it is a shame she didn't make it to waikiki to enjoy it with us. we'll just have to make up for it in NYC.

my joy yesterday was getting togs in the mail. they are the most awesome togs ever and everyone in waikiki will be jealous as i snorkel and all-i-can-drink soda with the dolphins. although i haven't yet figured out how i can swim AND wear the matching sunglasses that i just know i will find for $15 from equip if i look hard enough. but really that is a detail.

my other joy was listening to guns of brixton on my nano. it is now one of my top five songs on facebook dot com. and i know what you're thinking: didn't you just join facebook dot com on friday. and before that weren't you all like part of the bebo gang? and yes, that's true. but the bebo gang is for my teenager side. so my top rated song is lil mamma's lip gloss cos that bubble gum is poppin'. facebook dot com is where the matureds hang out. i can in express myself in full words and sentences and what not. but other than that i don't truly fit in. i mean you're reading the blog of a girl who was IDed at every bar she went in over the weekend. THAT'S RIGHT I LOOK 17. it's the oil olay.

which reminds me that a bouncer was totally trying to flirt with me on saturday. reeeow. hence the IDing i guess. and the conversation about my scarf. but then my scarf is awesome. it was my first ever crochet project. which was like a year ago when i went to adelaide and spent the afternoon in a heatwave lying on a couch in my hotel room learning to chochet with hels. that was the time when i lost my passport and had to pay through the nose for a new one and missed a plane only to find my lost passport in the drawer where i'd left it. ah memories. but just in case, i might go now and double check my passport. i want none of those mess ups with waikiki.
