| Hey, hey, I'm back! Much sooner than I thought I would be, I must say. I did head out to the jungle to meet up with my ex's "friend". Actually, as it turns out, they dated a million years ago and aren't just "friends". It freaks me out a bit since the dude is about 18 years older than my ex and 16 years older than me, but it's really none of my business. Ray - that's his name - is actually really cool and I learned a lot from him. It was fun sitting out in the jungle, picking through bits of rocks and sea glass and old shells to find good jewelry components. Ray taught me how to string all the elements together in ways that were interesting and cool to look at. Like did you know that beads and sea glass don't go well together because they're both shiny and crystalline looking? I'd have never thought of that before. Ray told me he'd left the United States after he ran into a lot of trouble with bankruptcies and liens and had the IRS coming after him. So he's kind of like a fugitive in Fiji, except that he never plans to leave. He told me he hates the US and much prefers the company of jungle birds and insects to any Americans. Except for me, of course. Haha, it was when he told me that that I figured it was time to make my exit. The good thing is that I have piles and piles of handmade jewelry to sell to tourists back at the hostel. Staying in a hostel makes it that much easier to find a person who will really like my wares.

| Fiji has been great. Summer is here and while that means a lot of tourists will be flooding the shores of my fair isle, it also means that there will be a ton of great outdoor activities and festivals going on. It's my first summer here. I'm enjoying myself so much, I doubt I'll ever leave. Maybe to check out some other islands, but Fiji is so spectacular. I can't imagine leaving. Everything I've been reading about home, like the empires cashback, is depressing and makes me even more resolved to stay here. I made a new friend who says he's gonna hook me up with an under the radar job renting surfboards at a local hostel. Hey, hostel - lots of cute little American girls to...meet! Yeah. I hope that my new job will help me find people of similar mind to kick it with. A few buddies wouldn't be bad around here. I love it, but it does get very, very foreign at times. Actually, my ex-girlfriend emailed the name of a friend of hers who lives around here. Apparently he lives in the jungle, makes jewelry out of shells and teeth, then comes out once or twice a year to sell his wares. Sounds like a pretty relaxing life to me! I just need to lookup name contact information and I'll probably be out in the jungle making jewelry too. Not a bad way to be, but there might not be Internet out there so I'll update everyone when I next can.

| So, um, I'm in Fiji. Possibly to stay. I'm holed up in this tiny little surf town on the coast with lovely women, great cold beer, good food, and the best waves I've ever come across. Plus, a pretty decent internet connection. The govt. doesn't really know I'm here, of course, but that's okay, right? Just as long as I don't get caught, I'm good. Actually, I'm better than good; I'm golden. I'm the happiest I've ever been. I get my neighbor to order stuff from Amazon and whatnot and things just couldn't be better. I don't know what else to say. I have been keeping up with the people search world, but I've just been into other things mostly. People searches, quite honestly, just don't have the same importance in my life. I do know that you guys depend on me for info, so I'm gonna stay with it. But yeah. People search is definitely gonna take a back seat to my other interests for a bit. At least til I get back to the states...whenever that will be. Oh, I'm looking into buying a big flatscreen TV, since my cost of living is so low here. I want the best one, though, so I've been referencing this good article: Flatscreens Demystified. Talk to you next time!

| Whoa...I'm still in Fiji, guys. I told myself it would just be a short little trip, but it's turned into (possibly) a life-long one. I dunno. I'm still sorting things out with the embassy, but I think I might want to just live here forever. It is THAT beautiful. You just gotta see it to believe it, then you'll know. And the waves...the waves! Like perfect swells, man. I've been spending every day on the beach drinking ice cold brews and smoking great local herb...I'm like a different person. I've started writing a journal (paper, separate from this) and just really have been feeling super peaceful and in tune with everything. I dunno. I think I might stay. I will miss background search, of course, but I suppose I could always go to an internet cafe if I needed to find a person on the fly. I mean, I may not have much use for it but finding friends is always good, no matter where you are. Plus, I'm still gonna need the net if I'm gonna keep visiting the vitamin shop I buy stuff from online. | | |
| Hey all! Seamus back, and ready for action! I actually have to jet....literally, I am flying to Fiji for a surf trip, but I wanted to stop in because I found so many awesome people search sites that have really helped me find people in the last few weeks. I have been just chillin at home with my niece, so I had a lot of time on my hands to background search people's pasts. I guess you could say I have become a real people search advocate in last few months. Mostly to take my mind off the death of my brother in law. But hey, everyday is getting better! Hang Ten!
