Hawaii decided to get pissed at me for disrespecting their state. The day after that post, I got into a fender-bender. I'm okay, the car is okay, the other drivers are spectacular, and best of all; my car insurance didn't go up!! Well, that's probably one of two great things, I also didn't get a ticket. Which is awesome.
In other news, I'm getting that "I need to change shit up" itch. Normally this itch is only satisfied if I re-arrange a room or if I do something outrageous to my hair. (or both)
I really want to renovate my guest room. By "renovate" I mean re-arrange the furniture, get rid of the bed, and turn it into a home office. I really can't "renovate" anything in base housing, at least with the normal definition, other than paint. Which I won't do. I don't know how long I'll be on island anymore and paint is like a more permanent hair-dye job. Which I dye my hair ungodly often, and a different color every time. Lawd knows what I would do to some walls if I had paint. Plus you have to get the paint approved by housing and that's a hassle I don't feel like dealing with. Oh, and you have to paint the walls back to the shitty white they are now. Matching this crap-tastic white. Not worth it.
Anyway, in my dream guest room/home office I would replace the bed with a nice futon, add my desk and bookshelf, and keep the dresser we have in there. I need to refurbish the desk and the bookshelf though. They're both old (one belonged to Ryan's dad, the other belonged to my mom) and they've been through the ringer. However, I don't think Ryan would be so gung-ho about doing this. I'd make this my little project (since my scooter is his project), and he wouldn't have to do much other than help me move things. Also it would clear the little office space I've made myself in the dining room. However, it's his family that comes to visit us, and I don't think he'd want to lose the extra bed.
I know this post means nothing to anyone, buuut I needed to get it out of my head.

Hawaiian Pet Peeves
All of my pet peeves about Hawaii do not stem from the state or the locals themselves. (Except the driving part. The drivers here SUCK DICK.) My pet peeves stem from everyone who wishes with their whole heart they were me living here. Let me just tell you, no, no you don't.
Yes, there are plenty of perks to living in Hawaii. The weather being a big one. It is 75 and sunny year round. Even in the winter (or rather rainy season) it's still sunny and 75 with a nice breeze. In the Hawaiian summer, its about 85-90, sunny, but no breeze so incredibly humid. Even that isn't horrible! The food here is another perk. Local food, yum. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Loco Mocos, Kailua Pork, STARFRUIT. OH LAWD STARFRUIT. Starfruit makes my life better.
You also have to realize, that there is a lot that Hawaii doesn't have that people take for granted. Like seasons. I know what you're all thinking, "I could give up seasons if it was 75 and sunny every day!" Yeah, I thought that too. I hate winter with a passion and I hate being cold. The best part about winter for everyone? When its OVER. When the seasons change and you see green leaves, green grass, and flowers again. When you can break out your t-shirts and flip flops. When Hawaii "seasons" change, it goes from monsooning for 2 hours every day, to misting for 10 minutes every day. THAT'S IT. No grand natural gestures, no wardrobe changes, nothing. You don't even realize the "season" changed until someone points it out.
Let's discuss the food choices too while we're at it. Do you like Italian? Chinese? Mexican? TOO BAD. Do you like burger chains like Whattaburger? White Castle? RED ROBIN?! Sorry, we don't have that either! We really don't have much in things that aren't seafood. You love seafood? GREAT. Move here. Do you like seafood chains? Sorry, no dice.
OH AND THE COST OF LIVING?! yeah, gas is at $4.30 a gallon in some places. Milk can cost as much as $9 a gallon. I'll let that sink in on its own right.
Also, lets take this onto a personal level. Are all of you, who would switch places with me in a hot minute, aware that this isn't a vacation for me? I still go to school, I'm still job hunting, and I still have a family to take care of. I didn't move here by choice and its certainly not a vacation. There is a ton here that I still haven't done because I want to share experiences with my husband but I can't because he's gone all the time. While I may have chose the military wife lifestyle, I did not choose the location. I may seem lucky to you, but I would feel lucky if I got anywhere other than Virginia Beach. I understand that these are all circumstantial reasons, but think about it in your own life. Could you afford to fill your tank at $4.30 a gallon and still buy milk and bread? Could you you handle not seeing your family for very extended periods of time because the prices to leave the island are ridiculous? Could you handle living on an island that takes only approximately TWO HOURS to drive around? (but with the amount of traffic here it can actually take up to 6-7 hours to go about 200 miles total. Yeah, we're a FLOATING CITY. It's horribly crowded. Didn't think it would be did you? did you picture grass huts? I'm sure you did.) Seems all reasonable to you now, I'm sure, but live here for a year. Or two, or seven. You'll change your mind.
My absolute biggest pet peeve, is when I complain about Hawaii, and people basically tell me there's something wrong with me. If you can bitch about any of the other 50 states, then I can certainly bitch about living in Hawaii. Shit sucks all over the world. Shit sucks here too, even if it happens to be sunny every day.

Smarty Pants
Lately I've been feeling like a douche. Since starting school I have been just spouting off random facts that I gather during class to just about anyone I come in contact with. (Like how West Virginia is the 3rd fattest state! HA!) I hate sounding like a know-it-all, but I love school so much. And I love to learn. And I love all my classes. even algebra. I sincerely hope I'm not annoying the whole world, even though I'm sure I am. Somehow, in all my smarty pantsery, I have obtained TWO NEW FRIENDS at school. Granted, that brings my "School Friends" count to two, and my "Friends outside of the Armed Services" count to only one. That's okay though! The semester is young and I still haven't looked into clubs yet!
In other news, I have been completely enraptured in the idea of dying my hair purple. I'm not sure what shade or anything like that, but the idea has completely consumed my soul. I'll leave it up to a vote, if anyone cares to vote on the matter. Here are my top 5 choices on purple hair!
So go on then! Vote for it Phantom Readers!!

My first week at college!
Everyone keeps asking me how my first week of college went. Instead of trying to remember everything, I'm going to give you legitimate excerpts from my own personal journal. All dated (between the first week and second week of school), and all labeled by class. If I had to stop journaling in that class, I just stopped. I didn't pick back up at that thought.
1-7-13 (first day of school, Monday/Wednesday classes. Apparently I didn't write anything in English on the first day.)
Human Biology
90% of the quiz I knew, I just second guessed myself. I'm staying in this course. He's scary, but I know this shit.
Algebra
This dude is monotone and everything is so SLOW. STOP RAMBLING. Just let us go. Shoot me in the face if this website is broken. Oh my gosh this is why you don't trust technology!! FUCK. I wish I would have skipped. Mother fucker. Ridiculous. Straight up ridiculous. Waste of my time. Just let us leave we'll figure it out. We're not TOTAL idiots. Just release us! Oh man I want to run away. OH MY GOSH. HE CAN'T EVEN DO HIS OWN PROBLEMS. HE CAN'T EVEN DO MATH WHY AM I HERE?!?! Run away!
1-8-13
Philosophy
I already love this woman.
World Civilizations
All these dudes are trying to impress her. It's fantastic. No one will sit next to me. I'm the smelly kid.
1-9-13
English
It's 8:25am and 75% of the class is missing. I thought I was going to be late. Ha. I sprinted up four flights of stairs for no reason. Should have known I'd be one of the early ones. I always am. I seriously need to quit biting my nails, it'd be nice to have pretty hands. Should have brought in my coffee. It's so quiet in here. Too quiet. As much as I'd like to to think people would talk to me if I talked to them, I know that's not true. I'm the token white girl. In their eyes, my ancestors kicked the front door in. I can tell by how they roll their eyes at just my name. Whenever my name gets called they just glare at me...
Human Biology
I hate the way science labs smell, like dead rodents shoved up Fat Bastard's ass in the middle of the Sahara Desert. In a way, it kind of reminds me of my mom's lean cuisines. Blech. I am deathly afraid of this professor. He reminds me of a meaner Mr. Ruth. Where Mr. Ruth had humor and a fantastic subject of study on his side, this guy does not. I also don't believe his philosophy that biology is just applied chemistry. He's 5 minutes late to his own class. How rude. He needs to re-dye his hair as well.
Algebra
It's clear that Monday/Wednesdays will be my least favorite days. Biology is boring and my math teacher is a joke. At least English is awesome, as usual. The same kids are in most of my classes, and I think they all hate me. I try hard to think its just the first week and people will warm up to me but I honestly don't think they will. I desperately want to make friends. I miss the small town mentality because everyone talked to everyone and everyone knew each other. Crap my stomach is about to growl. FUCK I don't want people to hear it! I wonder if people read this over my shoulder. Someone just walked in that smells like pot...
1-10-13
World Civilization
Let me backtrack to last class. I more than love Philosophy. I can tell it's going to be my favorite class. Here I am in world civ as the smelly white girl. Blarg. I need to start lying out again.
1-14-13
Human Biology
Excuse me, did I sign up chemistry? NO. I registered for HUMAN BIOLOGY. I really want to make friends with the girl next to me. She has great style. I want to shop where she shops. ...He just said to wash our hands with paint thinner. NOPE. HA he stutters on his "WH" sounds like Stewie Griffin. "WH-hite blood cells" haha. He keeps telling us "this isn't chemistry" but then keeps teaching us chemistry. These stools are crazy uncomfortable. I think the woman in front of me is hot for him. Gross.
1-16-13
Algebra
Backtrack, Biology is actually becoming biology! Canola oil is Canadian rape oil as it turns out. Back to Algebra now, instead of this room smelling like pot, it smells like jager bombs. Not better.
Now no one has to ask anymore! hooray! Enjoy.

Hey 2012, its been real.
If the Mayans were correct in their calendar, and this is the end of the world, I can say I'm leaving it with few regrets. I really had a tremendous year.
2012 has been a fantastic year. In this year alone; I lost 50+ lbs., gained some fantastic friends, adopted a great cat named Watson, visited Ohio (which means I got to spend time with my stink Zeus), celebrated two years of marriage, survived a near-death ocean experience, and visited Texas before the year was even out. I also got my ass in gear for school, and went through a series of interviews for multiple radio stations. (Ultimately I didn't get any of the radio positions, most of which due to the fact that I was visiting Texas at the worst time. However I expect that to change once I get some schooling under my belt.)
There was some sadness too; leaving my dog again, some close friends moving away, and probably the worst event of all: Watson dying. With the exception of my cat passing, I really cannot complain about 2012. 2013 has got some large shoes to fill.
As for my resolutions, they are as followed:
1) Continue on my journey to getting healthier.
Yes, I would love to lose more weight, but I need to focus now on toning up along with general fat loss.
2) Become a little more lady-like. (fashion wise)
I have always been a jeans and a t-shirt kind of girl. Now that I'm getting a little older, I need to stop looking like I'm in high school. I need to develop more style. I need to become more daring with what I put on my body and stop resting on my usual.
3) Strive to get no lower than a 'B' in all my classes.
I'm paying for my schooling, and I need to make it worth it. Also I want to prove to myself and every teacher that I've ever had that I can in fact get great grades and that I am incredibly intelligent. I need to stop being lazy.
Eventually I'll do a photo montage of my year, but right now I have other things to get started on. Enjoy, phantom readers.
(ps, I'm sure you can tell I started this before 12/21/12, deal with it)

I now have two blogs to type up.
...Unfortunately I only have time for one. I really need to start keeping a journal again.
However, I was nominated for a blog award thing? The Liebster Blog Award? I'll try it, but I have no blogs to nominate so this might suck.
However, I was nominated for a blog award thing? The Liebster Blog Award? I'll try it, but I have no blogs to nominate so this might suck.
Award Rules:
Post 11 things about yourself
Answer all the questions your nominator sets for you
Come up with 11 questions for the people you’ve nominated
Choose 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award (200 followers or less)
Go to their page and tell them
My 11 Things:
1. I regret hacking my hair off on my birthday.
2. After a semi-near death experience, I'm now slightly scared of the ocean. Mainly the waves.
3. Christmas stresses me out.
4. I'm super excited to start school come January
5. I'm fairly confident that I could be diagnosed with extreme paranoia. I feel like everyone hates me all the time.
6. I want cake right now. White, delicious, wedding cake.
7. The thing I miss the most about the mainland is roadtrips. I love driving to new places.
8. Well, that's technically the second thing I miss the most. I miss my dog the most.
9. The only musical genre I will not listen to willingly is bluegrass. I haaaaate bluegrass music.
10. I should be cleaning, but I'm being lazy.
11. I don't sleep very peacefully unless I'm sleeping alone in the middle of the day. Seems strange, but I think that's when I'm the least afraid of missing anything and my subconscious isn't focusing on where my husband is so I don't kick him or anything.
The Questions I must answer!:
1. What is your favorite animated film?
- I think the world knows that Disney's "Up" takes the cake on this one. A tie for second would be Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "The Phantom Tollbooth", which apparently no one has seen the latter except me.
- I think the world knows that Disney's "Up" takes the cake on this one. A tie for second would be Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "The Phantom Tollbooth", which apparently no one has seen the latter except me.
2. Do you believe in ghosts?
- Way more than is healthy I'm sure. Anything supernatural is amazing to me.
3. Who is your favorite author?
- You know, I don't think I could pick one. Mainly because I never notice who writes the books I read. My apologies to all authors.
4. What is your greatest accomplishment?
- Hmm, this is tough. Honestly, I'd have to say making it as far as I have without having to ask my parents for much assistance. I've never had to move back, and I never ask for money. Most people my age can't say that. I know I owe all of that to my husband, but not many (young) married couples can say they that either.
5. Do you have a fear of heights?
- I do, if its over land. For some reason, I cannot zip-line, but I can parasail. I cannot climb trees, but I can cliff dive into the ocean. I'm weird.
6. If you could do any job in the world what would it be?
- Radio personality with my own show. I aspire to sort of be like Dr. Demento but I certainly don't know enough funny songs to base a whole radio show on that matter. I would love to have a radio show that people feel the need to turn off the TV to listen to.
7. What was your favorite subject in school?
- Band. If that's not acceptable, then any history class I could take. I love history, and history is important.
8. If you could donate 1 million dollars to any cause what would it be and why?
- Probably the Humane Society or ASPCA. I have a soft spot for animals. I would adopt all of them if I could.
9. What is your favorite snack?
- Oh man. I don't think I could choose one. Uhhh I always seem to have potato chips in the house, which is horrible but it's true.
10. Does reality television irritate you?
- Not even. It's a guilty pleasure.
11. If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be?
- I'd just have my dog back if I could! As far as exotic goes, I want a teacup pig really badly.
I really don't have enough for nominees...so I guess this kind of dies with me? Which is unfortunate but there isn't much I can do about that.

Pretty intense past week or so.
Well it's official. I'm old. I turned 22 on the 26th. I say all my good birthdays are gone, but leave it up to my husband to cheer me up with "That's not true, when you turn 25 your car insurance goes down!" Thanks dear, that makes me feel even more elderly!
I am convinced Hawaii has a vendetta against my birthday. My first birthday here, I spent the majority of the day alone. Which is okay, because Ryan works and I was relatively new here. That evening, my debit card was stolen so I spent October 27th 2011 puking while on the phone with the bank trying to sort things out.
This year on my 22nd birthday, I spent most of the day alone again (which I like said, its completely fine) but I did have a few surprises. A friend of mine showed up dressed like a cat with flowers and balloons! I got gifts in the mail from family and my husband (and they were pretty awesome gifts I won't lie.) Ryan and I went and saw Paranormal Activity 4.
I also made the mistake of getting my hair cut. Well, that's not an accurate statement. I needed a haircut horribly. My ends were split and felt AWFUL, so it was a necessary evil. All I wanted was my haircut up to my shoulders, with a few long layers. Something I could grow out easily and elegantly. Instead, the stylist decided to try 6 different cuts on my head. It was a jagged mess and I had my dear sweet husband even it up for me. That's right. My head was SO BAD that I let Ryan take scissors to my head. You know that means it was bad.
Anyway, on the 27th I had my awesome birthday party. THAT kicked ass. I loved it. It was Disney's Up themed and so many of my friends showed up and dressed up. I don't think I've ever felt so loved. Unfortunately Hawaii still has its vendetta so Ryan couldn't come. He got called into work. Oh and then Canada said a big fuck you to Hawaii and sent a tsunami (failnami) our way. Nothing happened, but it was enough of a threat to make everything close early and people to freak out.
Now for a photo montage of the events!
I am convinced Hawaii has a vendetta against my birthday. My first birthday here, I spent the majority of the day alone. Which is okay, because Ryan works and I was relatively new here. That evening, my debit card was stolen so I spent October 27th 2011 puking while on the phone with the bank trying to sort things out.
This year on my 22nd birthday, I spent most of the day alone again (which I like said, its completely fine) but I did have a few surprises. A friend of mine showed up dressed like a cat with flowers and balloons! I got gifts in the mail from family and my husband (and they were pretty awesome gifts I won't lie.) Ryan and I went and saw Paranormal Activity 4.
I also made the mistake of getting my hair cut. Well, that's not an accurate statement. I needed a haircut horribly. My ends were split and felt AWFUL, so it was a necessary evil. All I wanted was my haircut up to my shoulders, with a few long layers. Something I could grow out easily and elegantly. Instead, the stylist decided to try 6 different cuts on my head. It was a jagged mess and I had my dear sweet husband even it up for me. That's right. My head was SO BAD that I let Ryan take scissors to my head. You know that means it was bad.
Anyway, on the 27th I had my awesome birthday party. THAT kicked ass. I loved it. It was Disney's Up themed and so many of my friends showed up and dressed up. I don't think I've ever felt so loved.
