is this a trick question?

I like camping, particularly on beaches which is convenient where I live. No need for a tent on the southside...so many stars and it never rains. It's my christmas morning tradition to wake up on a beach.

Damn...you just had to remind me about christmas shopping.

I get it. cookie?

I know a bit about this topic, (I work with people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia and I also was in a 7 year relationship with one.)I think as long as that stigma is not in someone's mind and they have an understanding of the illness, the possibilities for romance are very, very good. Don't let this illness define you. Best of luck to you and the lucky girl you find.

9...and Stephen's still a good name.

They did a killer job with "Let the Right One In", aside from that, The original "Dawn of the Dead", "Night of the Living Dead", "Evil Dead 2" and "Army of Darkness", "May", always classics..."Nosferatu",
"The Exorcist", "The Omen", "Strangeland", "Cabin Fever" was hilarious..."Izumaki"...Japan knows how to do horror...
I should really profess my love for horror movies in the Religion forum.

4EVERW8N...for the right one. Until then, very single.

my feet are perfect.

On a personal level, I've found that one needs a certain sense of self-worth and independence before going into a relationship. This will help them to recognize abuse and be able to separate their own identity from the one the abuser is trying to instill in them. Then there also lies within the personal strength needed to walk away, aware.

I've seen so many patterns that normally extend from being an overly empathetic child or from having abuse in childhood...that almost subconsciously seek out abuse in adulthood because that is "familiar" and what they have come to acquaint with "love". I believe that patterns such as this certainly, absolutely warrant a need for psychological counseling.

There are factors that play in to make a person feel like they are stuck in the abusive situation, and I will not discount these. Children, veterans, spouses or partners who become ill, relationships that have become mutually abusive...
Yes. I also think that all of these situations are good reasons for professional help. Though they don't qualify in my mind as mental illness, it's hard to see clearly when everything is so messed up. Professional counseling will, in the least, shed some light on the situations. If possible in a situation like this, it's important that both the abusers or the abuser and abusee attend the sessions.

Finally, life is far too short and precious to be a victim of someone else's discontentment. I hope that everyone out there has the ability to let their light shine, even if they are shining alone.

"are you friendly?"

Someone ought to shake this site up. It's been 30 something days I've been waiting to hear from Hawaii residents. SAY SOMETHING!

I am also 29, but I don't feel like I fit in with the under 30 crowd at this age.

guess....um...balloons?

Shouldn't even be a question, sad that it is. Of course I would.

I find men who wear glasses pretty sexy, as long as the frames work for them. Frames that are too huge or don't match their facial structure, can turn the mysterious intellectual type into that creepy kid who sits behind you in math class.

Haven't made it to Big Island yet, but I do love living in Hawaii. btw, it's not just this site, it's difficult to meet people out here in real life too. Good luck to everyone, sincerely! Aloha.

Always my father, I'm 28 and he still knows EVERYTHING

Love it, you got me, but I take comfort in knowing it probably took you longer than 40 seconds to type that, lol!
