Re: Hawaii bound

I'll toss in my .02 about speaking Hawaiian/pidgin...

LOL Thanx for the info, & putting your own spin on it. Now I'm a little worried about my loud boyfriend... I'm a quiet one, though.

That's awesome that they have Pow wows there. I love pow wows. I love my Cherokee culture. I do have some Irish & German in me, but I'm about 75% Cherokee & that's what I go by... even w/ my green eyes.

To be honest, I find Maryland just as humid as Florida on some days. We get the entire mixture here.... & it's not fair that I don't know anybody w/ a pool within 1000 miles!

Re: Hawaii bound

Well! Aloha e Erika! And welcome to HawaiiThreads. You're probably the first person to find their way here from YouTube.

I'm glad you've found your welcome so warm and fun. Some days here, it's a crapshoot! It seems you've got the right mindset as you mull a possible move, and more than a few folks here who are willing to help answer your questions and clarify your thinking, so I've got little to add at this point. Three to five years is definitely a good run-up period to research and learn... while at the same time maximizing your opportunities and experiences where you are now.

My wife is a Florida native, by the way -- born in Jacksonville, grew up in Ocala (one of many areas known generically as "BFE") -- and also has a speck or two of Native American ancestry. She actually misses the south now and then, but certainly knows herself to be blessed to be raising a family here.

Damn, I feel honored! I'm kind of a net junky... I've been around the block of forums... & trust me, being a girl who's into muscle cars on car enthusiast forums is just asking for trouble. This is nothing.

That's kewl that your wife is from FL. I love it there... & I have family that lives in a different part of BFE known as Bushnell. I know the name rings big city, but there's really nothing there. I am from the Tampa area. I've also lived in Masaryktown (another BFE), Brooksville, Spring Hill, & Weeki Wachee.

Where do you live? I currently reside in Hagerstown, but I've lived in Frederick most... also in Germantown & Silver Spring.

Re: Hawaii bound

PS... 1st question... Is it annoying or do you like it when non-Hawaiians use the local lingo & language?

Hawaii is the most xenophobic state in the union. Worse than the deep south. You will be treated as if you have airborne aids. You have to understand, modern Hawaii is made up of 90% immigrants who are trying their best to NOT be immigrants. The way they do that is by making people like you feel like an outsider.

Now if you're willing to give it 10 to 30 years, you might just start to become accepted.

Tis OK!

I've been an outsider my whole life!

Now... it's my large white (well, he's 1/3 black but you'd never know it) boyfriend who would really stick out! lol

Wow... echo...

Thanx

I'm guessing that means to sleep... I'm nocturnal... an effing hamster, I tell you.

I'm in the same time zone, but not in FL anymore.

For some people that is no different than any other place. No matter where I wander I will always be an outsider marked with a scarlet letter. Some people just accept it and deal with it the best they can and make their own way.

"Outsider" is not necessarily a negative (unless you are on a spaceship.) How you deal with it matters more than how others do - but I can tell you already know this, blue...
