I just got home from Nerd Fest at the Bird House, which I attended for the past 32 hours. Yes, I did get some sleep. I watched all the episodes except half of Episode III, but maybe I made up for that by also watching the Star Wars Holiday Special (it is utterly horrific) and Star Wars muppet show and Star Wars TV ads. Now it is time for homework.
Dang, the computer labs at school got a virus that logs keystrokes, so I had to change my password! I've had it 4 years, and I know you should change frequently, but do you know how hard it is coming up with and remembering a password that has numbers, symbols, letters, but no english words (pretty much you have to avoid vowels)?
Guess how many hours of sleep I got last night?
- 12 hours
- 5 hours
- 2 hours + a nightmare that woke me up for part of that
- 6 hours
- wasting time on teh internet
- sleeping
- searching through and paraphrasing the text of the SEPA law
- working on my resume
Aimee accidentally added normal dishsoap to the dishwasher and suds leaked out over the whole kitchen floor, somewhat reminiscent of that Pippi scene where she skates around on scrubbybrush shoes.
I went for an awesome hike today. It was a little sunny, which was nice. I inadvertantly took a new trail that was very pretty, and I was rocking out to my current favorite tunes and happily snapping pictures . Suddenly I looked up and a woman was about two feet in front of me, and I was so surprised and gleeful about my hike I gave her the "Hey!!!!" you give good friends you haven't seen in a long time. She thought I was crazy.

Hawaii photos finally!
Pahoehoe lava.
We killed that coconut with TOOLS.
Breadfruit.
Several trails were 'closed' due to 'earthquake damage' from the October earthquake.
Other hijinks here included dad breaking a rope swing by pulling the tree out of the ground.
Dad was telling us about making beer.
Digital cameras: instant gratification.
Glam shot!
A crater within a caldera.
We hiked across a huge lava field to see lava pouring into the ocean and steaming. The hike back was in the dark, and though Mom and Robin didn't have their flashlights, it didn't really take that long.
Lava trees in the rain-we weren't lost, only a mite bewildered.
Blackberry + lime = blimey!

I just got a sweet new monitor that can go either landscape or portrait, and has USB on the edge! Only problem is, it's refurbished and didn't come with a manual, so I can't troubleshoot/determine its full capabilities. Maybe teh internet will help me.
I HATE MY INTERNET!!!&#$)(!@*(!! My WEP key keeps getting deleted and I have to type it back in, then manually disconnect and reconnect. Any tech-savvy people want to help me?
In other news, I hate snow/ice.

I read through a bunch of my posts from 2003 last night; man, did I not have a life or what.
Today as I was walking back from school I glanced over at the gym and realized I couldn't remember which exercise classes I signed up for at the end of last quarter. Then I heard a crinkle in my pocket, which surprised me since I don't usually keep paper in the pockets of that coat since they're shallow. I pulled it out; it was the receipt for my exercise classes. I had used it to write my grocery list on yesterday.
After running my laundry through the dryer 4 times, I have reached the conclusion it's broken and now am out of quarters and have a lot of wet laundry.

Happy new year! I'm in Hawaii.
The best part (ok not really) is how unselfconscious everyone is about their bodies in bathing suits. All the women wear bikinis and most of the men wear briefs, and 90% of all that flesh is really scary to see. The heavier women get funny tans where their flesh folds, for instance lots of women have big white triangles under their butts where their leg creases when they're laying down. Today we saw a large sunburnt man with a mullet wearing fluorescent blue briefs that said "guard" on the butt in gold letters. We decided he must be European because no American would do that to himself.
