today's been insanely long. woke up at 630 for kristen's soccer game. the girls play at this huge complex at waipio, about 5 min from pearl harbor, and the team they played today was hollywood.. which we beat 2-0 :):) from the game we went back to our hotel, the ilikai, i ate my sushi from this place across the street, aloha sushi.. the best sushi i've ever had.. packed our stuff and dropped it downstairs, checked out, went to the international market. i got a sick ipod skin and 2 more pairs of sunglasses. walked around, sucked down an energy drink of course, and then headed to the airport. we were all SOOOOOOO bummed to leave. i want to go on this cruise but not badly enough to cut the hawaii time in half. my friends get to stay til the 15th. so, had an 8 1/2 hour flight to atlanta, sitting next to this older man who would not say a word to me. it was a red-eye flight but i didn't sleep. from atlanta we got a flight back to laguardia, and here i am 3 hours later. actually like, 5 hours later because i slept as soon as i got home. so my body clock is 1030 am, but i have to force it to be 430 pm. tough. in one of the little smoking lounges at atlanta, this guy came up next to me and was telling me like his entire life story. he came from san diego, missed his connecting flight because no one woke him up when they arrived, and has to be the best man to his friend's wedding in pennsylvania. shittttty! i love flying but too much can really make you feel like shit. anyway, so hawaii was great. i learned so much about the culture and got to see some really incredible places. one day we flew at 4 am to Big Island, and i saw black sandy beaches because of how the volcano close to the beach had erupted years ago and the lava ruined everything- the sand, people's houses, people's lives.. it was the most beautiful place i've ever been. saw a lot of craters.. and we saw Kilauea while it was erupting. but we were too far to see lava, so we just saw smoke billowing out. went to a real luau with 1100 other people, drank mai tai and watched hula and a guy from samoa play with fire. went surfing on our first day there.. got up on the first try, but i was a little afraid so i couldn't go for very long. got a tattoo from hart & huntington! tori came with me and the guy who did it was great, we all had fun and i went back the next day to see him haha. it's a yellow and orange flower so i'll never forget the trip.. on my hip.. its hurting still and sore. i slept on it the night i got it and it left an imprint on the sheets.. not good. waikiki has rocky beaches! the water's beautiful but the sand's rough, but i only had to go to the beach one day, because i got such bad sunburn on my back and all down the back of my legs that i couldn't go in the sun for like, 3 days after. it still hurts. i didn;t go to my shoot because of the sun poisoning becuase i couldnt be outside. im bummed and the guy sounded wicked cool, but i didnt want to risk it. also i would have to be really discreet leaving, and he wanted to go to the north shore which is like, a 40 min drive, and ive never met him so i dont know if id just get in his car and go that easily. alright thats enough im going to the gym and packing.. leave for bermuda tomorrow at 11 am..
