I have to admit, I am more impressed with the island of Hawaii than Oahu. But mostly that's because Hawaii still has active volcanoes. Which are awesome. I got to hike along the rim of Kilauea. I couldn't go into the crater itself because the National Park service had it closed due to venting gasses, including toxic gas. No thank you. I'll watch from a distance. I took lots and lots of mental notes for the rewrite of Dragon of Blood and Fire, because I think I want to expand on that universe more. It's an interesting universe, but you don't see enough of it in the stories. Before I can do the rewrite, I really need finish up the first draft though. Hrm.

I also have about 5 pages of notes and drawings for the Hawaiian dragon story. I started writing it on the trip here (during that 16 hour flight from hell, oh god, why do I have to do that again?) and strangely enough, I think it's going to be in a very similar format as the Dragon of Blood and Fire. That's probably why it reminded me of that story. It's nice to finally start it, because I've had the idea for the story for almost two years now (since I was last out in Hawaii). But I think I'm going to get all my ideas down on paper, because I'm not sure I want to come back out here. Maybe with [livejournal.com profile] miome, but that's the only way.

Now to do some writing.

If you need any info on the history of Kilauea, I did a ton of research at one point for a paper and I probably still have the names of the books I used.

I may take you up on that when I get around to doing the rewrite. I have quite a bit of general geologic knowledge, but could always use more specific stuff on volcanoes (which admittedly was not my interest in school). :D

I stayed up way too late because of you, reading all about volcanoes. ^^;;

I would apologize, but I am not sorry. VOLCANOES!

They are really cool, and fascinating, and as much as we do know we don't really know anything at all. I loved reading about all the 'extinct' volcanoes that, whoops, erupted, guess they're not so extinct after all. ^___^

Haha, right? My favourite is that even though they're pretty sure that Hawaii is right on top of a hot spot, geologists still aren't quite sure what a hot spot is or how it would work. O_o

they have closed some dairy farms in Wisconsin for the same reason.

Who am I?
