I wish I had an underwater camera.

Between yesterday and today, I think I've seen more fish than during the rest of my life combined. (We've been snorkeling.) It's incredible. Yesterday, mum and I rented some snorkel gear -- fins, masks, snorkels -- and then we all drove to Ka'anapali and went snorkeling at oen of the beaches. I swear, you didn't even have to look for the fish. You just stick your face in the water, and they're right fucking there. And they're so pretty and just -- !!!! I love them. Yesterday I even saw an eel. An eel!!!1!1!11eleven It might have been small -- I couldn't tell because it didn't come out of its hole all the way -- and it had lots of little white spots. And today, we were just swimming around at the beach a few minutes' walk away, and I found where all the fish hang out there. I went really far out into the water, and I found an honest-to-god reef. It was incredible. FISHIES!!!! fishy fishy fishy fishy. They're SO cute. & snorkeling is really tiring.

Yesterday evening all of the wedding people had dinner, and it was really fun... I met people I had no idea that I'm related to... And afterwards I went with my cousins to Matt & Bea's condo, affectionately dubbed party central. I have good cousins who didn't let me drinnk (mostly because Hedda feared, rightly, that if they did my dad would never speak to her again), but it was fun. Everyone was playing games -- poker, scrabble, other stuff with cards...

We're going to be off to the wedding in a few minutes, so I've got to go change.

oh and also conditioner is an excellent alternative to shaving lotion/gel/whatsit.
