Life... I tell ya.... Aloha and I am excited to be here (finally!). This is a wonderfully active board and [holds up her three middle fingers] I will promise to do my best to keep up on new posts. A little introduction: I've chosen Haole'akamai as my screen name because I defintely feel like a foreigner when it comes to Tiki/Polynesian culture, as I've only skirted the scene, but I'm really excited to learn more and more. And I thought I'd do a little self promotion, which I hope to live up to, by adding the "witty, charming" part. [uh, yeah, by the by, if I totally screwed up the Hawaiian syntax/spelling - let me know - I'm not proud....] If you went to TO5, you may remember me from the Best Dressed Pirate contest - I was the Pyrate CanCan Dancer. I met so many wonderful people there - freindly & fun-loving. Next year, I definitely want to stay at The Caliente Tropics; our hotel was way too far away from all the good stuff. I'm interested in all things vintage/retro, and Polynesian Pop especially. I enjoy costumes, dancing, reading, and boogie woogie & exotica music. I have four cats and volunteer with a local animal rescue group. Halloween and my birthday are my favorite holidays. My husband & I recently bought a Craftsman house (built in 1923) that we are trying to restore to its former glory (the backyard, though will eventually be a Polynesian Paradise, w/a 57' Bocce Ball court). I am a Barrista with Peets Coffee & Tea, but I'm working on getting my credentials to become a middle school mathematics teacher. WHOA!! Hey, didn't I say this would be a little introduction? heh heh... I better stop here.... so, hi. :) [ Edited by: Haole'akamai 2005-07-08 15:33 ]
