omg my hands

Saturday/Sunday
Well holy hell. This ship is f-ing huge. They say its not much bigger than the class of ship below this one but I’ve never seen it so I think this is huge. Its literally like a city street down the middle of our ship. Restaurants, shops, clubs, boutiques, cars, statues, apartment windows overlooking the street, granite and marble floors, art galleries. Its nuts. You see somebody new every minute and never the same person twice. There are about 5000 people on board this cruise alone. My jaw is still dropped and I got on board yesterday. I want everybody in my life to experience this floating city they call the liberty of the seas.

We started rehearsals last night at midnight and those were just fun. We got fitted for harnesses so that we can fly with ease. I went right up and felt at home….and a little like peter pan. Not gonna lie. But yeah, its amazing in the air, I’ve always wanted to ability to fly and now I’m going to get to do it and get paid for it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

In the meantime, we’re shacked up in passenger cabins. I’m on deck 9 of 14 or so sharing a room with our boy3 nick. Mom dad, you’ll like this. We have complete passenger and crew status for the next 2-3 weeks. That means we can wear whatever we want and go and do whatever we want. We don’t have to pay for anything and can just live the life. Only downside is that we usually sleep from about noon to 8pm….if not a little later. Rehearsals start at midnight and go till around 9-10 am. So basically my day has flipped.

Tomorrow I am in san juan and I hear its really pretty so maybe I’ll go out in port before I go to bed at noon.


That’s about all right now, the cast is great and we collectively can’t stand 3 people……karlee the aussie and the 19year old, Thomas our boy2 that I knew in okc and didn’t really care for him there, and then the 38 year old boy1 drake. I’m not really sure if I’ve touched on them before but one is just irresponsible, young, and careless with a lot of selfishness, the other is bitchy and whiny for no reason and doesn’t handle power well, and the last is just a complete waste of a human and a big booming voice. He can’t mimic sounds (which is kinda important when you sing) doesn’t understand the notes he is given, and has already been slapped with a sexual harassment claim. Basically we don’t have time for any of them. However, I will try to make some time because they appear to be the only new source of drama and this blog is B-O-R-I-N-G right now.






Monday morning……
Keep in mind its 8am right now and I’m about to go to bed. “today” at rehearsal I pretty much did everthing in the world. We did hand loops, liras(hoops), cargo nets, trampolines, bungee chords, 2 point harness, and I’m sure something else. My hands are blistered and red , my wrists are tender, and my hips and groin are killin. But you know what else is killin me….this little bitch Paul from Australia. He is such a backseat driver baby little prick it drives me wild. He pouts and cries if he doesn’t get something right away and then pouts some more when he gets injured. But all the while is the first to correct somebody or tell them what to do or bitch about 3 remaining water bottles. I really don’t have the energy right now to explain myself but just know I’ve invisioned myself kicking him in his teeth and then tying him up to the cargo net and hurling myself at him repeated until the ropes sever his body into small squares. I’m done y’all.

Back to rehearsal though, my favorite apparatus’ we used were the hand loops, bungee, and cargo net. The hand loops are where you just hang from your wrist and go in circles….i felt like mary poppins or somebody in the Celine Dion show. The cargo net was fun cause we were flipping through it, onto it and around it, climbing it and jumping onto it with a trampoline. The bungee’s however have a slightly different story. I loved them cause I could do back flips and all kinds of stuff but I kinda didn’t like it because I weigh so much. Some comment was made like they’d have add an extra bungee to mine if I did it cause I kept hitting the floor. I couldn’t even do it full out cause I’d smack the floor. Lots of people laughed but mainly cause it was me, the fat kid, and of course I had to have adjustments. The best part was maybe when they initially lifted me up into the air and I didn’t leave the stage cause my weight kept me down. I felt so thin and pretty at that moment…..sigh. but yeah, once I got up and was flipping my bungee started to spin so I stopped, dropped my arms to my side and our rigger came over and grabbed my ankles to stop me. Well, that stopped my lower half but my upper half was still spinning so my arms went out and I ended up slapping him in the face on accident. He was kinda shocked and said this guy just slapped me. I said “and that was for the bungee comment.” Thus ending my rehearsal for the day. Goodnight.
