There are actually things in my life that aren't Sherlock (but only a few).

So, in all of the (enjoyable) mass chaos of this month, I think I forgot to mention that just before New Year's we got a new car? Out with the '91 Previa, in with the brand new Honda Fit Sport! I took one look at the thing and promptly named it TARDIS, because it's TARDIS blue, it's bigger on the inside (no seriously this little car is so freaking spacious, it really should not be possible), and it will take us on adventures through Time and Space! :DDD

LOOK AT IT!! :DD





...Mom hasn't let me drive her yet. D:

So anyway, last week Sunday (yes, I know, a week ago, shut up I've been busy) a bunch of us drove over to Kawaihae to eat dinner at The Blue Dragon and dance to The Olliephonic Horns, one of our favorite swing bands. Coming down the hill from Waimea out past Pu‘ukoholā Heiau there were MORE WHALES, about three of them, BREACHING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND HAVING A BIG OLD PARTY, which was lovely, and I thought very appropriate since Pu‘ukoholā means "Hill of the Whale".

The Olliephonics were a blast, as usual, and we had a surprise treat: their guest vocalist was Pauline Wilson! She's the Big Island's only Grammy winner (and she won it back in the day before there were a million categories), and she's FABULOUS and we love her. So that was excellent.

Oh, and shichahn, in case you thought I was joking or something...

CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S A BUNNY!



See, look, everyone's excited for you!



Not technically champagne; it was a sparkling wine from Italy, I believe. And delicious. ALMOST AS DELICIOUS AS BUNNY.

...So this weekend has been a lot of snorkeling and dancing and good times. (And yardwork.) The weather's been absolutely gorgeous... warm and sunny and crystal clear to the tops of both peaks, patches of snow on Mauna Kea, just... stunning.

I love my life. AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU. ♥ ♥ ♥

♥ my Type 900 TARDIS. She's a pretty sweet little ride! ^_^

I'm glad some of the happiness rubs off. Everything here isn't actually sparkles and ponies and roses and unicorns all of the time, there are hard things, but... there's a reason, I think, that Hawai‘i is the happiest state in the country. How could you not be happy here?

omg, haha. The bunny ears! Amazing.

Haha yeah, James is brilliant.

The whole thing was really funny. It kind of went like this:

Me: I need to get champagne, remember.
Mom: OH THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE CELEBRATING~! :DD
Everyone Else: Oooooh~ what are you celebrating~? TELL US TELL US.
Me: *facepalm* Just warning you now, it's nothing at all like what you're thinking!

But everyone was all excited and interested and amused, and I ended up telling James all about falconry for the rest of the evening. ^_^

That's hilarious. I'm glad people were entertained by your grand announcement, haha. I celebrated by making this recipe but with rabbit instead of chicken. So amazing, omg.

AWWWWW HELLO TARDIS. I have a silver fit and named it Cybermat, we are both going to have Fits that are named after Doctor Who things. :D

HI HI HI sorry I've been SO BAD about keeping up with LJ. Sometime tonight I'm going to seriously trim down my flist so that I have a hope of keeping up on a regular basis. I am also going to read through ALL OF YOUR POSTS and comment tonight. Like ones from months and months ago. JUST SO YOU ARE PREPARED.

It's a good thing our cars will never meet, because clearly they would have to fight, or something.

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. :DD
