Yes... I grew up in Hawaii...no I didn't paddle to school in a canoe or wear a coconut bra...(and for all of you who asked me how it was not growing up in the states... HAWAII IS A STATE!!) I'm ridiculously independant and I'm logical to a fault...I am definitely guilty of not keeping in touch with people, even when they live within 10 miles of me. If you're a friend of mine, I will always be there for you, even when it seems I might have fallen off the planet.
