Everywhere I go

Sorry for my short exit and entering posts.  But this one will be quite comprehensive, I promise.

Aaron and I left  for  Waikiki  last week, this day, being Thursday, so a week ago.  I think.  Here is the whole trip, sectioned out by days.

That's it in a nutshell. 

Fun things I noticed in Hawai'i:
1.  Pretty much every sign has Japanese kana written under the English.  English menus have Japanese cousins.  It is very Japanese tourist friendly.
2.  There were more Japanese tourists than Europeans or Americans.  I know this because  I can tell the differnece between Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnemese, and such.  And they were speaking very fast Japanese.
3.  Almost all of the merchants were Japanese as well.
4. A-B-C carries more tiny bottles of liquor than anyone could imagine.
5. Things were not as expensive as I thought they would be.
6. Everything is very, very open.  Many hotels have outdoor check in desks.  Ours was semi outdoor with the front door and small and wide corrider that had the check in desk and it lead to the out door pool.  Most malls are out doors as well.
7.  Yes, the main drag of shopping needs FIVE Coach stores.  I also saw my first Chanel, Dior, YSL,  and Hermes store fronts.
8.  It lovely and I would go back.


We go back to Eugene tomorrow to our sweltering flat.  I have to work tomorrow nite as well.  Witch Veronica.  Cue the annoyance.  We have to come back next weekend for the reception for Chris and Becky.  Woo and yay.  I might sit it out, maybe, I dunno.  I haven't checked my accounts since yesterday and I probably should.  I am always terrified that I am going to overdraft.  I need to pay my damn Target bill and U of O bill.  I need to go to the financial aid office and see WTF is going on with my FAFSA stuff.  I need to pay my debt to U of O.  I need to eat better.  I need to start excersing or something.

I need more time.

Classes start next month.

I am not going to spell check this.

So, hey.  Its an entry. Maybe.

Kinda. Sorta.

Ok.  I am in the middle of the laziest summer I've had since the summers of high school, middle school, all school before graduation and being tied down by classes and more than likely 2 jobs.  So, yeah, I am enjoying sleeping till 1:00 in the afternoon and staying up playing World of Warcraft.  LULZ.  I make it a point to watch Sex and the City, all four episodes, every week nite.  I've been reading books (most recently The Rabbi's Daughter by Reva Mann) but I've been buying more than I can read.  Mainly dealing with paganisim, I swear my pagan library has doubled in the past few months.

 I have gotten back in touch with the little witchy poo (as Aaron calls me) that I am.  I have been networking and meet some relaly wonderfully lovely people  (you know who you are).  I am excited for the approching Sabbat, Lughnasadh, and the plans that I have with my new friends.  I have probably taken too much upon myself in making 2 pies, bread, and a salad for all of us to share.

I went to Medford after spending a few days in Scapposse with Aaron and his family at his graduation bbq.  I met a bunch of family of Aaron's I hadn't met before and some of his old friends from high school.  Medford was short and sweet.  Val came back with us and she hung out for almost a week.

We leave for Hawaii in a week.  I don't have an appropriate outfit for the wedding.

Last nite I couldn'y fall alseep until 8 am this morning.  I took the day off from work.

I induldge in Clinique and MAC yesterday.  Clinique had a GWP at Gottschalks so I had to.

My favorite MAC artist sold me a Starflash eyeshadow that isn't supposed to be sold until tomorrow.  Mink and Sable.  Its it so soft.  I need to get a 15 pan palette, but I like all my containers, to be honest.

Tonite I was dreaming about the elusive Club Stila palette of lip colors that was a little GWP in summer 2006 on the Stila website's relaunch.  I had lusted after it but wasn't about to spring 32.00+astronomical shipping for it on Ebay.  And the girls on Makeup Alley can make swapping for a rare a bitch.  While lusting I hapharzerdly checked the lovely www.beautycrunch.com. 

And there it was. 

In all of its cute and pink glory. http://www.beautycrunch.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=262&category_id=1&pos=1&viewall=yes

For 12.00.

Hell yes I bought it.  Along with another Stla palette that is hard to find ( http://www.beautycrunch.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=515&category_id=1&pos=1&viewall=yes ).

Sorry for the makeup talk.

Admittidly, I want an iPhone.

Work=Over. 

For the day atleast.

Finally.

I am getting sick of sitting out side in the grill hut thing which is about 110 all day.

The guys keep flirting with me.

A woman speed into the driveway where the hut is located.  She ran up to the counter.

"I am on a mission."  she said, breathlessly.

"Alright, how can I help you?"  in my head I was calculating thenumber of hot dogs and hamburgers heated I had just in case she had an insane order.

"This guy I work with thinks that you are so hot.  I just was to investigate." she said.

Cue the blushing.  Cue the hiding.

She asked all the right questions. How old was I? ("21."), My name ("Elena."), If I had a boyfriend ("Not yet..")

"He's relaly shy. Don't tell him I was here, but he just can't stop talking about you."

"And I can't stop thinking about getting out of here."  I think to myself

I've finished 2 books in about one week out there. The Sun Also Rises by Hemmnigway and Survivor by Chuck Palahnuik.  I am half way done with another book, Running with Scissors by Agusten Burroughs.  Its his crazy memoir about his teenage years.  I'll probably finish it by friday.
