Crazy?!

Am I crazy???

I'm 27 and planning on having my wisdom teeth removed!

I've been talking about having it done for so long now and I feel as though the time is right. I'm just nervous its going to hurt and I'm going to be a pain in my own butt during recovery. (I'm all alone... lol) I heard you can hear it when they are pulling them out... ew! I will hopefully be allowed to have music planning via my zune, so that might help drown out the ripping/tearing bone crunching sound I might be hearing. Doesn't that sound awful?... Bone crunching... it sounds so friggin' painful!

Another Spider Dream

I had another awful spider/tarantula dream. I wrote about another dream I had recently which had spiders, but I understood what that one meant. This one was very different from the others and I have no idea what it means.

OK... I dreamt that someone I've never met before and his wife came by to my house, but it was a house I've never been in, and the husband brought his tarantula. This wasn't a typical brown tarantula, it was black with white, and disgustingly big and hairy! At the end of the dream he said it was French, I don't know if France has tarantulas, let alone ones that look like this one. Anyhow... the spider was kept in a glass tank, like a fish tank that had a handle on the top so he could carry it around but the top was open with a stick the spider could walk up and down, and the husband took this everywhere. He would take the spider out and carry it around on his hand and pet and play with it. He asked me if I wanted to hold it and I said "NO!". He left the room as I was sitting at my desk with work to do, and when I closed the door he put the spider on the floor outside the door, under the door was about an inch gap, and the spider walked in. I got up and ran away, but that sucker was FAST... he followed me outside, jumping up trying to land on me, but I kept running and I ended up heading back to my office where I had left a candle burning. I had lost the spider, so I sat down and went back to work. The little bugger had found me and when he jumped he was coming straight for me, I got up to back away, and he jumped through the flame and was ignited. He ended up being burnt to death... I was NOT saving it! I had to tell the husband his spider committed suicide, and that is how I said it to him. He then got up and started saying something about "stupid French thing", I'm not exactly certain on that, but I'm not sure its important for my interpretation. He then showed me the pile of what was left of the spider which was a round white sticky ball, which after being burned made no sense, but whatever. I then left the house and ended up walking through knee deep greenery. I then woke up.

I'm not entirely sure what to think (I know it reads crazy), I don't know if it means, I'm going to meet someone I don't particularly want to meet and things aren't going to work out with our friendship. That someone I know who is clingy, if our friendship is going to crash and burn. Or the worst one is that someone is going to die. That they are literally going to crash and burn, and the clingy spider is just the way of the person. It really didn't seem or feel like the spider wanted to hurt me, more like it just wanted to be friends with me, but I was too scared to allow it. The way it died feels symbolic to me for some reason.

Usually when I dream of the spiders there are 3, and each spider represents something, this one was so different! It didn't try to bite me, it didn't web me, it just wanted to jump on me to "hang out". But every time I dream of spiders it refers to a relationship, and a decision I have to make. This one the decision seems to already have been made. Like I don't have a choice in the situation. Thats why it felt like someone might die, because there is nothing I can do to help.

Hopefully I'll figure it out soon enough!

Honolulu Zoo

One of the many turtle/tortoise

Yesterday my friend Ji and I went to the Zoo. I LOVE the Zoo. I love everything about it! But, I must say I was a little disappointed with Honolulu Zoo. Now I've been to the Zoo here about 2 times prior to my latest excursion. You see they've been renovating the Zoo so I thought I would check it out and see the updates, which there haven't been many... yet! My favourite thing at the Zoo, besides the Giraffe, is the Reptile Centre. I love snakes... don't ask me why as I have absolutely no idea. So my friend Ji and I walk to the Reptile Centre and guess how many snakes they have.... ONE!!! One snake, that was in hiding! They had about 6 turtles/tortoise, one giant toad, a spider, a frog, and one snake. All of those things aren't even reptiles! Makes NO sense whatsoever to me.

"African Safari" entrance

Lunch Time

On Guard

So after visiting the "Reptile Centre", we ventured into the "African Safari" section. Which is pretty much the majority of the zoo. You see the "Chief" is welcoming everyone into the African Safari section. It is actually a pretty cool statue and a nice way to be welcomed. So in this part of the Zoo you have you Zebras and Giraffes, Lion and Tigers, MeerKats, some birds, Elephants... I think thats all they had. There were also Hippos in this section and Rhinos. And the Crocodile area, had no crocodile but a pile of bones. Very creepy. The Meerkats were so cute... about 6 or 7 were sleeping and one was keeping watch, he was on "Guard Duty". The Elephants enclosure isn't as big as you would think. They did have signs saying they were building a new enclosure for the Elephants, something with a whole lot more room I hope. In my opinion they need plenty of room to roam around, where they were at was rather small for the two big elephants.

Kookaburra

Next was the "Bird Sanctuary", which I must add is actually pretty good. They had one of my favourite birds.. the Kookaburra. Kookaburras are native to my home country of Australia and we say that if you hear two Kookaburras laugh at the same time then it is going to rain. (I can never remember if that is true or not.) The don't chirp like normal birds, these birds are originals, they laugh. I'm not kidding!!! If you don't believe me you can view the laughing at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ZbykXlg6Q

Just Chillin'

We also viewed the Primates which I think are Ji's favourites. Before we entered the Zoo I asked her what her favourite Zoo animal was, and she answered with Dog. But, she may have changed her mind once we saw the Primates. I don't know what sort the one in the pic is called, but it was sooooo cute. It looked so relaxed! We then came across some turtles/tortoise, (I can't tell the difference), one was actually moving pretty fast for a slow creature.

Diamond Head

Also, at Honolulu Zoo you get a pretty nice view of Diamond Head. I think we started to make plans on climbing it. I've climbed it twice before but Ji never has and I think she'd enjoy it. I mean the walk up is KILLER in my opinion, but so worth it once you reach the top. Then you (I) run or walk, whichever you prefer, down the mountain and get yourself a snow cone. The snow cones really are the only reason for climbing the mountain!!! They are DELICIOUS.

San Antonio Zoo.

I'm adding a picture at the end of a snake that I took at San Antonio Zoo, now that was a good day! I really liked that Zoo. Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney is by far my favourite though!
Isn't it cute ---->

I know I'm crazy right?!

Sam the Siren

Holy Crap... I thought the tsunami, cyclone, hurricane whatever alarm was going off here in Hawaii. It sounded like it! High pitched droning sound that I thought would never end... I turned to look out the door, because thats what we do when alarms go off apparently, only to realise it was Sam my dog. He was dreaming and something in his dream made him feel that way and he had to release the drone/moan to the world. The worst part is he matched the sound perfectly... I mean he does some weird stuff, burping being his favourite, but still... that is the sort of noise he has NO right knowing!

OK, I'm calm now...


I think.

Random

I will be having a visitor, Kelly, coming in about a week. Kelly is a friend of my mothers daughter, who is currently in England. Kelly had plans with her friends to come to Hawaii for 3 weeks and stay with them, but as plans go they fell to pieces and she couldn't get another flight out of here at an earlier date. So I am having Kelly, who I should add I've never met before, coming to stay with me for 3 weeks. It should actually be fun having someone else around. Going out and doing the touristy things should be entertaining and time consuming. It does get hard to fill the hours of the day when you only have your dog for company because your husband is gone. :-( 

On other news yesterday was Father's Day back home, so Happy Fathers Day Dad, even though I know you don't read this. I tried calling him but as per usual there was nobody home, I tried on both Saturday and Sunday. I guess I should try again today. I did send him a card though which I hope he receives.

I also learnt the other day that my uncle is buried in the backyard... haha... I know that sounds really bad but that is how it was somewhat said to me... it went like this: (M = mum, A = me)
M: I guess I should dig Peter up.
A: What are you talking about?
M: Peters buried in the back yard.
A: Ha?
M: His ashes... I didn't know what to do with them so I buried them in the back yard.
A: Oh, O'kay. (thinking thats not at all weird)

So I suggested putting him where I want to be put. Take into mind I'm 26 and have my funeral already planned. Granted I'm dying when I'm 91, I just want everyone to be sure on what I WANT! Not on what they think I want! I'm still not sure what she'll do with him, maybe bury him in her new back yard, but I think my suggestion is still the better choice.

P.S Larissa Ione books are HOT!!!

The Joys of Being Sick

Don't you hate it when you get sick and there is no-one around to help you. When your nose runs non-stop, you can't stop sneezing, you have a headache that you can't seem to shake, your throat is dry; and all you want is for someone to feel sorry for you and help you in your time of need?! Well unlucky for me I am all alone in my time of need. There is no-one here for me to complain to about the need for more tissues, or to say "bless you" after every sneeze. I can complain to Sam but where is that going to get me, a lick on the hand to say "I'm here for you", its very reassuring to know that I at least have Sam by my side to offer a sympathetic ear. The plus side to that is I don't have to hear a response that I'm not going to like, and he isn't going to tell me to "shut up" when I continue to whine over my predicament.
