Getting acquainted

Here I am checking out more of my new surroundings at Linda's house. Her place is definitely smaller than Jamee's place. She only has one tree growing in her tiny yard. Here is the view of it from her patio.

There are quite a few of these potted plants here. I learned that they are the ti plant and they are grown in many yards all around the State of Hawaii. Linda got these plants from her parents when she moved to her home almost 11 years ago. Legend says these plants are for good luck and protection from evil spirits. You can read a little bit more about the ti plant here.

While I was outside, Linda asked me if I wanted to change into "rubber slippers". Hmm. I didn't know how to respond. As politely as I could, I said, "Thanks for the offer, but I'm just fine." Then she gave me a pair of these and said that I might be more comfortable in them instead of my shoes. Oh! She was talking about flip flops! Linda apologized for giving me this pair - if you look closely, you can see that a little chunk was bitten off the backs of these. She left them outside the night before I arrived and said a "dog" must've come by and chewed on them. Gee, I wonder if Jacob new I was coming ...

By the way, in case you didn't know, I believe the custom here in Hawaii is to remove your shoes before entering someone's home. I didn't know that, and Linda didn't say anything. But I did notice that she and her family walked around their house barefoot so I did the same. She said she gave me those slippers to wear later on if I decided to walk around during the night. After her family went to bed, Linda stayed up with me and we talked for a bit. She said that she, Jamee and Jodi are huge fans of Twilight and that their other passion is papercrafting. All three of them have blogs, which I will definitely be checking out when I have some free time. She showed me an image that she stamped, colored and cut out. Funny, this guy sure reminds me of someone ...

I'm gonna have to hunt soon. Make sure you come back again for more of my Hawaiian Adventures. Until next time, think about this: Do I dazzle you?

Visiting another friend

What a night! I had a blast at the slumber party with Jamee and her friends. They're a bunch of really fun gals - the little guys were really cool too. It's a good thing I left when I did though. The smell of all those humans was beginning to overwhelm me. At least I was able to hunt before going to Linda's house. Here I am, ringing her doorbell. She knew I was coming and said she had a surprise for me. I wonder what it is ...


Well! This isn't what I was expecting at all! I have to say that I'm a little embarrassed. As soon as we met she gave me a big hug and kiss and said she wanted to give me a lei! Oh! I get it now! This is what they do in Hawaii! They give you a flower lei as a gift when you're visiting the Islands. Hmm, what kind of lei were you all thinking about? Now, now, let's keep it clean.



Here I am, after being "lei'd" in Hawaii, by my new friend, Linda. Thank you, Linda, that was a very nice thing to do for me. I believe she told me this is a Maile lei. She wanted me to have a lei that was more masculine than feminine.



I had a gift for Linda too. Here I am giving her the famous Twilight apple.




While my hostess was busy preparing dinner for her family, I went outside to check out the new surroundings. Hmm, not as lush as Jamee's place, but I think I'll be okay here. At least for a couple of days.



Until next time, look after my heart ~ I've left it with you ...

The Slumber Party

Pocket Edward and I had a fun night with my cousin, Tianee, and her friends on Saturday night. Here's a recap of what went on as told by Pocket Edward himself.

When we pulled up Tianee's house, I was relieved to see the mountains and the vegetation. If I needed an escape, it wouldn't be too hard to be unnoticeable.

Tianee's friends were very welcoming, although one of them is on Team Jacob.

We played a bunch of games, and the girls giggled a lot. (Tianee is the one in the green on the right)

Here is a picture of me starting out a round of a game called "elevator." There is a designated elevator space and one at a time, each person pretends to step into the elevator then does a type of body movement or says something, and everyone that is already "in" the elevator copies what the newest occupant.

Here is Andrew (Tianee's cousin) copying me.

It was a very entertaining night. Even little Jordan had fun hanging out with the girls.

Why is it that the ladies just can't keep their hands off of me???

By the time the girls laid down for bed (3:45am), their blood became too much to handle. I believe it was from the adrenalin running through their veins, it made their blood mouth watering. I said good night to Jamee and the rest of the girls.

Then I made my way out the window and into the mountains.

Jamee, Linda, and I already had it planned, that if it were to become too much for me, I would run to Linda's house. I was greeted with a warm welcoming being that it was my first time to her home.

Come back in a few days to hear about Edward's stay at Linda's house!

Packing

Today started off very well. The sky was a perfect shade of gray to venture outdoors. I felt as if I was back in Forks.

I spent some time in my new found meadow in Jamee's backyard. It is very peaceful out there.

Jamee will be going to her cousin's birthday sleepover tomorrow. Her cousin is turning 15. We are taking some popcorn to share with the other girls.

I helped Jamee pack her overnight bag, which just so happens to be a Team Edward backpack (sorry Jacob, it's not my fault the women love me).

It did not take long thanks to my vampire speed. I even helped Jamee get her Twilight blanket and pillow together. Like me, she is on a "special diet," so she will put her dinner in the lunchbox.

I wonder how it will be spending the night with Jamee and a handful of teenagers tomorrow? I hunted last night (scroll down to previous post to see my feasting on Hello Kitty). It is tough enough being around Jamee and her delicious smelling blood, good thing her cousin lives up in the mountain where I can escape if it is too much. Wish me luck.

A Long Day...

Pocket Edward had a long day today. He spent most of the morning in the trees on the windward side of Oahu.

He was waiting for the Natives to arrive. Pocket Edward, on Carlisle's behalf, made a treaty with them.

Pocket Edward sure was glad to be home.

It's been a long day, thought Edward, I sure am thirsty. Hello Kitty was the first thing he saw, so he went in for the kill...

Sorry ladies, but Pocket Edward was so thirsty, there's no way he could have stayed with me while I slept!

Meet Pocket Edward

"Hello"
