I forgot to show you the Halloween pictures:
Halloween Party!
Guess which one is me!
I can't even begin to explain to you how important yesterday was. I'm sure you all know already. Yesterday was the day that Poocake shut down her latest blog! The panic that struck me as I clicked on the "Four Eyes" link over there to the right and got a message that the journal was deleted hit me like a gnat in the eye. My whole make believe internet world was crashing before my eyes. I thought that Poocake was now and forever going to be nothing more that a sweet memory in my little monkey brain.
But I am a persistent little bastard and with some work I found her new journal. My days of stalking were not over. In my excitement I made the mistake of posting a comment on her new journal. I couldn't resist as it was the first comment that she would receive at her new home. Of course she then abandoned that journal and created a new one. Of course I found that one too. You just can't shake off the monkey like that. Again, I left the first comment on her new journal.
This new incarnation of the Poocake on a blog site is going to be locked down soon so that only "friends" can read and comment. This left me with no choice but to create my own livejournal. Whether I will actually begin to post on this journal, I don't know. I'm reading up on the livejournal and it seems like I might be able to do some neat things with it, but I would have to pay. I will let everyone know if I make a real switch to livejournal but for now I am firmly planted here at diaryland.
In other news, IslandGrl and I spent 40 minutes of her lunch talking on the phone. We talked about a lot of things. I learned a few things about her.
I'll finish this post when I get to my office.
OK, I'm in my office now
So anyway, IslandGrl called me several times yesterday but our longest conversation was during her lunch break. She wanted to bring to my attention her picture on the company directory. Our company puts all of our head shots on the company phone directory which is posted on our intranet. You see nothing other than the person's head.
Well, she called because she wanted me to look at her head shot. She says that she looks fat. How she can look fat when it's just a picture of her head, I don't know. It's not like she has a big Poocake noggin'. I reasured her that she was beautiful but she insisted that she was fat. I dunno, you tell me:
That doesn't look like such a fat head to me.
So our conversation continued. One interesting thing that I learned is that she actually lived with her very first boyfriend. That was interesting when you consider that she says she has had a total of 4 boyfriends, she is 24 years old, and her last relationship lasted 4 years. She really has not dated or had what you would call "casual" boyfriends. It's been one serious relationship after another.
She told me about what it was like living with the guy. She seemed to be pretty much a possession/maid/mother to this guy. Actually, from the description of all her other relationships it seems like they all have been that way. She was talking about ironing the guys shirt and having to do all kinds of other shit that any grown man worth a damn can do on his own. But he played the dummy and made her do everything.
I asked her if that is where I went wrong, by not treating her like a possession and ordering her around. She got all huffy and said she was not into guys like that at all. Yeah, not into them but has only been in relationships with those types of guys and lived with them. Then she said that she wouldn't go out with a guy like that ever again. I really don't believe that. I think the next time she comes across an asshole that tells her that she is his and no one else's she will give up hula and everything else and follow him around like a dog on a leash. I hope I'm wrong though.
We also talked about the big hula competition. It isn't until this weekend but I guess "Auntie" is coming out from Hawaii today along with the girls from Japan. The girls from Hawaii will be out tomorrow night. So all of the local girls have to go out to Pleasanton and stay at the hotel that Auntie and the out of town girls will be staying at (more money she has to spend).
She still doesn't know what time she will be up but she said that the women usually have Kahiko at the end of the day on Saturday and Auana at the end of the day on Sunday. I let her know that I was not going to make it on Saturday because I had lil missy's baby shower to go to. I just found out that we are going out that night for The Funk's birthday as well. I'm going on Sunday to watch her performance though.
She says that right now she is on the front line but that the girls from Japan and Hawaii are unbelievable so she will probably end up in the back once they get out here and everyone is evaluated. She says she could even be cut completely out!
I already knew that I wasn't going to get a chance to really see her and spend time with her and she confirmed that. She said that they have to stick with their halau during the weekend and she can't be running off to hang out with her friends. She can't even get away to see family, if they come out to see her. One time a girl waved to her family out in the crowd as they were preparing to go out on stage and Auntie cut the girl out of the performance and replaced her on the spot.
I asked her if she would get into trouble if I showed up in a grass skirt and coconut shell bra while holding a giant banner and screaming her name. She said no she wouldn't get in trouble but I would be dead as soon as she got her hands on me. So I guess I have to give up that idea.
We talked about a whole bunch of other stuff too from serious to funny but I have already written way more than anyone cares to know about our conversation. I still love her.
