Settling in

Since I don't have as much time to blog anymore, this is turning into a daily log of events for me so that I will have every significant event recorded and if you are bored, you can keep up with me. I promise to write something more interesting as soon as I've settled in and got into the habit of using a computer again. But for now:

1) I will now have to change my blog title.

2) Mark and I are back together again. We're both still really confused but enjoying every minute of it!!!

3) Dude, how did I go without kissing for a whole 10 months?!

4) I LOVE MY ROOM!!! My roomate is totally awesome. She has a TV, DVD player, computer, and a cell phone - therefore, I get to have the room phone to MYSELF! She is engaged to someone named Mark so she will be moving out in a couple of months, but I'll get her side of the room then... :D

5) Auntie Ilene (Mark's Mom) flew in to see him yesterday. So yeah, I got to meet her. She is really nice and it's fun to see Mark and her together. He's keeping her company now (since she's here to spend time with him) but Su and I will be going out to dinner with them tonight. Fun times ahead!

6) Played the piano with Su yesterday. She seems to be in a funk, and I don't think me and Mark being all loverbirdy around her is helping. In a way, she and I are going through the same thing. She doesn't have many friends now because she hasn't been hanging around her ex-boyfriend anymore. She's confused as to where to go from here. She's trying to fit into my social group which is just about non-existent as hers. So yeah. It was really weird talking to her about stuff because we've never done that before but it's wonderful to have family here and that I get to continue being a big sister while I'm here. I also feel really guilty for not taking my own advice as far as keeping a distance to maintain a breakup goes. I have tons to learn from her.

It was kinda funny because she's worried about why she's feeling so sad even though it's been a month. *sigh* Loneliness. I wish she didn't feel guilty for experiencing it. That's where I come in, I guess. We're going to be here for each other and that's just such a blessing.

7) I GOT A JOB!!! Same as Su, but on different days - tour guide at the Polynesian Cultrual Center! YEEHAW!!! I'm so excited! I wanted to apply for a sales or a clerical job where I could stay in air conditioning all day but I think this will be a worthwhile experience. There's nothing better than interracting with the customers. You guys totally have to stop by the PCC when you come to Hawaii. (It pays for my education). I'm still a little upset in the way I got the job though. There were supposedly only 2 openings but they hired all 7 of us who applied!!! What the heck? I was wanting to get hired because I was better. Sheesh. Oh well, I guess they knew I didn't need the ego boost.

8) I've spent alot of time with Jared since I've been here. He's been my best friend for a long time now and me starting to date Mark again has just made things weird between us - AGAIN. Things are going to be weird for a while but I did get to talk to him yesterday and if I can't help him with anything, at least I understand what's going on. Oh well, Jessica can have him all to herself now. I don't want to have her feel threatened by me or anything. Now if only Jared could just like fall in love with her, all our problems would be solved.

We all had a year's break from having to deal with all these past relationship issues and we thought we had resolved them but we have learned that it really is otherwise. This is showtime. There's alot of undercurrent going on that has a pull on our emotions. All of us.

Alot more is going to happen this season (Spring!!!). More drama, more action. But heck, I'm glad that my movie is set in this beautiful place.
