ok i'm going to make this short because i'm in a really negative mood right now and no one needs to hear too much griping from a 23 year old girl working in the bahamas on a cruise ship. it's just wrong.
and plus i just bought this thermos from walmart and i couldnt be more pleased. thanks kikfeichy for the inspiration.
but i've hit the point in the contract where everything annoys me. someone stopped in front of me when i was walking down the main "highway" of the crew floor and you should have heard the inner monolgue of mine...something straight out of a 13 year old boy's myspace bulletin about his idiotic parents.
it's crazy, i don't know whats changed, maybe it's the fact that i've been feeling really stiff and sore with a headache since new york (saturday) but still , i know everyone's got their ailments. speaking of stiffness & headache, i finally went to the doctor...that's actually when i got the negativity bug...in the waiting room. (prob not the only thing i caught with GI supervirus sweeping the ship and some South African photographer hacking all over me, not to mention some little girlt he night before screaming in my ear so hard that a mass of saliva and snot shot out of her mouth and on to my jacket and hands.
where was I?
oh ya,negativity.
so after waiting from 930 to 11 to just see the doctor, a 5 minute consultation, and a confusing direction to the exit which actually brought me to a womans room who was reciving some "procedure" i cannot name----with all that--- I had only a theoretical "Muscular Virus" diagnosis, Vitamin C tablets, Ibuprofen, ICYHOT (as if I didnt smell like old people enough after the Transatlantic Cruise) & MUSCLE RELAXERS to treat my soreness ---to show for myself.
Fine, at least I had some serious drugs I could either take, or sell to any rave-wanabees in the teen center.
And we were in the Bahamas on a private island, so this California girl new a quick tan sesh and dip in cool clear waters could right any wrong...
But no, as I swiped my card to get off the ship the alarms sounded. Alarms make people look at you suspiciously, wanna know what makes people look ever moreso? When all the security start yelling "NO NO NO, GI GI GI, SUPERVIRUS, SHE HAS GI!)
Move over scarlet letter, GI is in this season onboard the Norweigen Gem and most cruise ships. But it was just a miunderstanding. the doctor forget to clear me after our consultation. it could be cleared up easily & quickly, and leave me bronzing in no time, right?
Wrong.
I will spare you the details, but after the entire security team of Nepal's finest, millions of terrified onlookers, two nurses, 1 unsuccessful trip to the medical center, and one very slow walking Doctor arrived, I was cleared 1.5 hours later and able to sit in the afternoon shade of Grand Stirrup Cay.
That was yesterday. Today is today. I feel better venting all that.
And Bye Bye Bye is playing so I'm smiling and thinking of me, bern, & lanas night in my car in Culver City.
And I am reminded that I am going to give a special shout out to my bestest lovely cutest brightest most amazinigest funniest cousin Taylor an
and my power just ran out so ihad to go back to my cabin adn get a power cord! see everything is so HARD. haha. ok here comes a little girl i have to babysitt for the day so nore more writing.
no pictures for today, as my negativity does not inspire photography...though now that i'm thinking perhaps i will work on a project highlighting my current genre of sentiment.
much love to you all AND ESPECIALLY TAYLOR!!!!
peace
