eight nineteen pee-em
day two (end of)

well, obviously we discovered a hidden aol installer on the computer so now i think instead of actually WRITING my diary down (which was seeming pretty nice while i was doing it) i'll take the lazy way out and jot everything down this way. woop.

woke up this morning feelin fresh and frisky. i slept for about twelve hours, which is a record for this year i think. i vaguely remember dad yanking me out of bed at all hours of the night to witness the most spectacular starry sky. however, in my drowsy state i could hardly appreciate it. i grumpily pushed him away and fell back into bed. i dreamt that brendan frasier was my boyfriend and seann william scott was really perverted and trying to get me to strip for him. ew ew ew ew and a thousand times ew to all of that.

so i got up and ate half a box of froot loops and looked around at the SPLENDID MORNIN' around me. it was early. like, six or something. and i felt so awake. so time change CAN be a good thing. after rummaging around in my bag i discovered that i FORGOT MY ERASER. doi. we all went on a wild eraser hunt which was only sort of a pain since i'm a pissy bitch who will only let SANFORD MAGIC RUB touch my art. nothing less! put down that horrid half-pencil half-pen eraser in that grocery store, mother! what sort of disgusting amateur do you take me for!?? TO PRINCEVILLE, I MUST HAVE MAGIC RUB AND MAGIC RUB ONLY and then everyone got mad at me. a camera was purchased and i am taking pictures of EVERYTHING, even the gravel in the driveway (that was actually an accident) so i should have a pretty nice account of everything when i get back. i also ate a bunch of macadamia nuts.

we rented some snorkel gear and headed to ke e beach to see fishies. i am positive i looked like a bloody fool fumbling around in the water all pale and tripping over my flippers with a pair of goggles half on and a snorkel hitting my nose, but that's okay. once i got in i screamed when i saw the fish. jesus, they big!! big ol' fishies swimmin' around in PACKS!! i ran!! they were scary at first. there was this creepy brown reef all around and the closet i got to it, the more fish there were. fish fish fish all over the place, all these wild colors. fantastic! i was all OOOO, fish and then one opened its mouth and had a couple of HUGE FUCKING TEETH. gah!! run from fish!! it bite!! it eat my leeegggsss!! but no. i think it was just yawning. do fish yawn? i have no idea.

the waves were making me bob up and down and getting me a little seasick so i got out and started walking down the beach. there were chickens everywhere. big fat chickens just sort of rambling along the beach and the jungle. what the fuck? do chickens grow in the jungle? i swear to god, i've only been here about a day and everything is a mystery to me. so i kept walking down the beach and soon i reach this river where this young guy is fishing. i say hi to him to be friendly and keep walking. after awhile i turn back around and start walking across the river when the guy calls out to me. he asks me my name, where i'm from, who i'm with... and if it's urgent for me to get back to ke e. he wants to hang out, he says. now, i'm already lost enough in this strange land of wildebeetles and free-roaming gigantochickens. but this guy hitting on me?? i really must be somewhere in another galaxy. i felt sort of bad leaving him there because he told me to come back if i could, but i have to keep in mind that nothing makes any fucking sense here so it was probably a really good idea that i didn't go back. for all i know that guy could have been oprah's evil twin in disguise or something. stranger things have happened. after all, this is the land of the YAWNING FISH.

we came back and ate and sort of sat around for awhile. i took another walk down the beach outside and ate tofu. i drank lots of hard lemonade and beer and wine throughout the course of the day but i don't think i can handle the alchohol that isn't masked by some girly happy taste. i only had half a bottle of beer and thought i was going to gag by the last sip. blegh. but mike and i found a little garden in the yard with fresh oregano which tastes really awesome. as the sun started setting, geckos started popping up on the ceiling of the decks and then these two dogs came barreling into our yard all friendly-like and wanting to play. the geckos are really cute and i want to be their queen. i named one geico and the other wheezy.

i just went out to check the sky for AMAZING SPUNKTACULAMONGOUS STAR DISPLAY EXTRAORDINARE and i see... nothing. NOTHING!! there are no stars and everything is completely black!!!! NO SENSE MAKING ANY OF IT!!!!!! ARRGHHH!!!.. but it's so great here.

tomorrow i think we are going to snorkel at someplace called "tunnels" and then we might eat something. we have to get up early for that so i better get to bed. i'm exhausted anyhow...

... jesus, it's not even nine.
