Holidays should come more often.

Here's the deal. I love long weekends. Love.

Wednesday: Work 10-3. Lame, per usual. Didn't do much. But then Kelsey called and she was very much jonesing for an adventure. Luckily, I was too. So Kelsey, Asia, Lulu (a dog), and I hiked the Pillboxes in Lanikai. Really really hardcore, but super amazing. Lulu has a bit of a complex and needs to be in front at all times. As such, she pretty much dragged me up and down the mountain. It was super duper windy up top and the view of Lanikai was amazing - the sun was getting lower, so the mountains were starting to cast a huge shadow over the town. Post-hike we went to Lanikai Juice (ultra delicious). Then we chilled at Kelsey's house and picked up Boston's pizza and chilled some more. Then came back to campus and watched Requiem for a Dream. Intense as shit.

Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving! Woke up for brunch. Then Asia, Denise, and I headed over to Kelsey's for kickball! A bunch of people from around her neighborhood were there and Asia hit Kelsey's mom in the face with a ball. It was amazing. After kickball, we took some neighborhood kids and swam at the house where Kelsey is house-sitting. They have a giant inflateable orca. Sweet. Dropped off the kids, played a shit ton of Rock Band (Razorblade Saturday RULES). Kelsey's sister Amanda flew in as a Thanksgiving Surprise - very adorable. Dinner was crazy delicious and Kelsey's family is superbly cool. Picked up Asia from Andy's house and came back to hang out, play cranium, etc. Just as we were getting ready to fall asleep to a movie, Kelsey's mom came in and said she was going Black Friday shopping with her crazy friend Trinidad. So, we all piled into the Explorer and drove to Waikele for some super hardcore bargain shopping. Got back at 4 am, fell asleep instantly.

Friday: Slept in super duper late, lounged around in pajamas. Made Christmas ornaments, talked to the family. Very cool. Dorked around for a while, stopped at campus for clothing, then took off for the North Shore (me, Kelsey, Amanda, Kelsey's mom, Denise, and Asia). AMAZING waves. Had a picnic, frolicked in the water. Got some rockin shave ice. Drove home, slept-ish in the car. Went to see Quantam of Solace at the Windward theater (while Denise, Asia, and Paige saw Twilight). It was pretty not very good. Which is fine. Took the bus back, fell asleep in Denise's room. SUCH a good day.

I like how my English gets progressively more lazy through the summary of my days off. Ah well. I'm content. Screw school, I want to be on vacation forever.

Home SO soon. Can't wait.
