high school, [/i] konawaena high school
who were you in high school? i was the old fashioned, talented, drunken, aloof, and promiscuous girl in high school. i had a classic sort of style, not too 1920's but a bit more revealing. you would see me come in to class with nonchalant eyes, breathe smelling like wine from my dad's wine brewing factory, and an immense amount of perfume to cover up my inebriated state, which you could smell from twelve classes away. it wasn't like this everyday though. just mostly every two days i would like to get drunken from expensive wine with my hoapili na (friends). aside from cutting classes to get inebriated, in my school and among my peers i was known as being the best belly dancer. that's what you would expect from a girl coming from a family of famous belly dancers, and taking classes since i was able to walk. its in my blood. and i'd have to admit, the guys appreciated my belly dancing, aside from the nerds who are only married to their books disliked me. well, that's what i think, specially because i would seduce them into doing my homework for me, or giving me cheat sheets to tests, specially in chemistry. i was such a fail in school, i owe my nerd boys so much because i graduated. well i did pay like three of them every month, and hooked up with two of them.

how many, ---
names & how you chose it, ---
job, [/i] part time bartender / part time librarian
position, i'm just a bartender that mixes drinks and dances on tables. and when i'm a librarian i just put books away in their appropriate shelves.
how long you’ve had the job, i've been a bartender for a year now, and my parents have no clue where i get this extra cash from. and i've been a librarian since 11th grade.
are you happy, i love the club scene being a bartender, and its just too quiet being in a library for eight hours.
what is your salary, i get paid $6 an hour, plus tips as a bartender. and each week as a librarian i get paid i guess $5.25 an hour.
what kind of things do you spend money on, just a whole lot of clothes, pet food, human food, cd's (i don't like ipods), and old movies.
what’s your typical day like, [/i]
i guess there's something new everyday, but i seem to do the same stuff a lot of times. i just get dressed, wash up, eat, feed food to my cat who hates me, and my parrot. i go out with my friends to a nearby cafe bistro near columbia. then go to like three of my classes, if not four of them, depending on how lazy i am (but i seemed to have matured in my study habits). i kinda harassing-ly text finch, and joke about his name and try and persuade him to make love to me. but i have no free time on mondays-wednesdays because of my job in the library. and i'm a bartender at night on most days. not so savvy but what do you expect? i miss hawaii.
what life dreams did you have in high-school, have you accomplished them, [/i]
my dreams were that once i graduated high school, i would travel around the world and just spread my hawaiian love. but yeah, not accomplished, specially since i was kinda forced to go to columbia.
what is a significant change within the past five years, [/i]
i kinda matured when it comes to school and studies. but i'm as sneaky as ever, that i'm really secretive to a point where i don't even tell my brother, who i'm so close with, anything. i'm just a standoffish person like that.
are you the same person you were five years ago, [/i]
its hard to explain that. i kinda am, and then not at all.
if you could go back and change one thing what would it be, [/i]
maybe just moving to india or beirut before my parents forced me to go to columbia.
what is one thing you feel has remained the same, [/i]
my relationship with my brother.
what is your biggest achievement, [/i]
actually graduating high school. so cliché i know.
and your biggest mistake, [/i]
adopting my cat, jogia. he hates me i swear. well okay that's not the biggest mistake. i guess my mistake i regret was following what other people want, and never being loud enough for people to hear. i guess i follow people while others lead me.
finally, what is your fondest life memory thus far,[/i]
nothing. i haven't had a fondest memory. even if amazing things did happen to me. there's just not one moment where i felt complete and loved every second of that memory.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/sub][/font]
