Part One: They're Everywhere.
As I stumbled onto the plane in Newark, too tired and dazed to anticipate the Hawaiian adventure before me, I looked around the plane and was struck with familiarity. Sitting there, timid and bland, was nothing other than a Houghton Girl, representing the epitome of her kind. This was no regular Houghton Girl either. It was daily, plain dry bagel and a glass of water, I'm-from-Hawaii-but-that-doesn't-make-me-exciting-Houghton Girl.
Looking back, I'm unsure if this sighting made me so happy because of it's ridiculousness (seriously, dull hawaii girl on my Newark flight to Hawaii? Do those things happen?) or sad, because Houghton is consuming my world.
I just thought of another possibility. Can someone please leave a comment to say that they know who I'm speaking of? What if this girl is a hallucination? Ugh...I'd like to think that I would hallucinate cooler things than her; this would be terrible news.
Part 2: We Ain't In No China
I am staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani resort in Maui. This place is ridiculous. My hotel room has a bathroom the size of Rhode Island, a tv room with a huge puffy couch (yes, puffy was the best adjective to use), two big plasma screen televisions, beds that do not have the rubbery, 
uncomfortable bedspreads that seem to be assumed to every hotel room in the world, and a veranda that I could do laps around. If you aren't jealous yet, there are 5 pools, 3 water slides, a private beach, a breathtakingly large and complete fitness center, and free services wherever I turn my pampered little head.

My mom and I were traveling from 3 30am on Friday until 9pm your time, 3pm Maui time, so yesterday was a long day. But this morning we have already done some ocean kayaking, snorkeling, and plenty of sunbathing. Right now we're enjoying some downtime in our room before a luao (yes, we're pretty sure there will be hula dancers and a whole pig on a stick) tonight. If you notice in the pictures that it looks kind of foggy, clear of any visible mountains, let me tell you why. A volcano errupted two days ago, so until the winds pick up to blow away the smog, the sky is going to appear rather thick. I can deal with this.
My room is up to the left, second in and second down.
Homies, I'll be enjoying the next couple of days.

yeah, that's definitely a hallucination.
i'm still not jealous yet...
That's because you like Africa.
It is not a hallucination! I know who the Lamest-girl-in-Houghton is (yes I've called it, she officially is). Oh and she usually has a wheat bagel, to match her completely tan outfit. I found something out about her too. I guess Dr. Pearse discovered her and thought exactly how I did, so in efforts to see what kind of personality he could draw out from her he continually invited her over to the house. He thought that if only he got to know her there would have to be some kind of depth or interest there. But he was wrong! After numerous visits she is still the most boring, terrible person alive. He has officially given up on her. I think the whole situation is hilarious. I picture the Pearses' grilling her for hours try to evoke some life.
