Hi'iaka

if i lay here, if i just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?

About Me


You Belong in San Diego
Laid back and friendly, you were meant to live most of your life on the beach.
You usually think everything is "all good"... except when the weather dips under 60F.
You stay classy - especially when you're in Tijuana!
Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?
i aboslutely love San Diego...and if everything goes right in my life, i plan to live there, moving at the end of this year to start the next phase in my life.
i have a great boyfriend who can always manage to make me smile somehow...even through the tears. we've been together now for over a year, and i know that even though we'll have some rough waters coming up, i'll always love him.
i'm 22 years old, so damn close to being done with formal education i can taste it. if everything goes right at Eastern (for once) i'll be done forever at the end of August, and have a degree in Spanish with a minor in Marketing.
i am a Polynesian dancer, i dance twice a week (usually) and i love it. i do Hula, Tahitian and Maori, and i dabble in Tongan and Samoan. dancing is my constant source of happiness and relaxation and excitement and just EVERYTHING in my stressful world. i won't give it up for anything.
i currently have two fabulous cats, Princess and Dexter. when they're not being complete little shits, they're absolutely wonderful and loveable. sadly though, i have to give up my buddy, Dex. if anyone wants a fully trained, housebroken and friendly kitty, please let me know!
my friends and family mean the world to me. i have amazing parents, a wonderful grandmother, and i'm ridiculously close to my big brother. my boyfriend's family is incredible, and through them i have two beautiful nieces and a nephew that i absolutely adore.
i have two tattoos and one piercing. i want at least one more tattoo before i'm done, and if all of my dreams come true, i also want to get a traditional Polynesian tattoo (yeah, those are the ones that involve a hammer and a sharp stick. ouch). it has recently come to my attention that i may be addicted to ink. funny, cause i'm terrified of needles...
let's see, what else...i'm sarcastic, funny, driven and when you meet me there's a good chance you'll think i'm a bitch. talk to me for more than five minutes and you'll probably change your entire opinion about me. i hate the winter, i hate being cold, and i hate change unless it is bettering my situation. get to know me, i'm fun and i usually like people.
just don't piss me off.
this is amusing...
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

all of these lines across my face
tell you the story of who i am
so many stories of where i've been
and how i got to where i am
but these stories don't mean anything
when you've got no one to tell them to
it's true...i was made for you

i climbed across the mountain tops
swam all across the ocean blue
i crossed all the lines and i broke all the rules
but baby i broke them all for you
because even when i was flat broke
you made me feel like a million bucks
yeah you do and i was made for you

you see the smile that's on my mouth
is hiding the words that don't come out
and all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
