The first transition post.

Since this blog has become so important to me this summer, I decided I would continue it (with a new look!), both to keep my mind working like it did back in LA, and so that I stay sane. I'm the type of person that fancies herself a writer at times, and so what if I'm no pro!? When I'm walking and thinking about writing a piece on myself walking in a Hawaiian Island downpour, I think it's brilliant.

SO. Hawaii so far. It's been almost two weeks, and I haven't had a hint of homesickness yet. David and Kelsey are amazing, and the taiko folks are very warm and welcoming. It's just going to be a lot of adjusting, what with two jobs and having to learn an entirely new set of repertoire. At least I can read music.

I definitely miss the organizing piece back in LA, since it's been hard to locate anything specifically of interest here. For now, I'll have to settle for an afterschool teaching job and a law office receptionist position, along with taiko, to satiate my needs. It's definitely not community work...but maybe I'll run into something along the way.

The plan is to read some radical, progressive books while I'm at it to keep my mind fresh.

At risk of making this first entry unbearably long, I'll stop here. But look at my celebrity lookalike collage below! I LOOK LIKE ASHTON KUTCHER! How. ridiculous.

Miss you all, LA friends and loved ones.




PS I'm cameraless since it got lost at my goodbye party, so don't expect many exciting pics anytime soon! Sorry.
