(NOTE: I've probably misspelled about...most of the words I've typed and used in this journal. Normally, I check anything I know I spelled wrong, but right now, my head's so dizzy I can't even read my own journal straight. Too many text.... x_x Our cruise ship had unfortunate luck with a small storm, which made the boat rock far more than it's used too far more than was comfortable. Spending a week on that apprently affected my sense of balance. It still feels like I'm on the bloody ship.)
I'll leave it to creative imaginations to fill in the **** portion of my journal title. I'm fine and dandy, I just wish the damn house would stop moving. That's what I get for going on a seven day cruise. I never like full week vacations(specially on spring break, as it only lasts that one week) since there's usually never enough time to recover from the vacation(maybe you go on a relaxing get away, but I always need time to recover from family vacations, even a cruise). And these constantly refreshing deviant ads are ticking me off!!!!! Can't type straight! e_e
Yeeeee, anyways....
Maybe it would have been more fun if some of our only-time-to-get-off-the-boat-that-is-being-buffeted-by-stormy-waves shore excursions hadn't been canceled.

We wanted to swim with stingrays in Grand Cayman.

A strong northern wind was blowing and made the stingray bay dangerous to swim in.

So we shopped.
Del Sol is freaking cool! :3 I bought a dragon shirt that changes color in the sun. We noticed that even their shopping bags change color, yaaaaaa!!! And since I was so miffed about our swimming with the stingrays excursion being canceled, I bought a plush stingray instead and named him Mister Squish. :3
We got to see some Cayman Island roadkill. Poor iguana had made it to the side of the road with his guts hanging out. I should have taken a picture, but I was too tired from walking to think to grab the camera. >.>

We had tons of fun in Cozumel, Mexico where we rowed in clear kayaks and went snorkling. I had a VERY close encounter with one of the more daring fish swimming around the brain coral. >.>
Despite certain issues that decided to start up, we managed to have a good time. The kayak/snorkle dudes charged us $2.00 for a tampon. American money.
Shopping was fun. Mexican merchants are just as rumors have told. They don't mind haggling for a price and if you're not interested in buying anything, don't make eye contact.
Just kidding, they're pretty nice about it if you say 'no thanks'.
I managed to get one guy to go from $45 to 20 bucks on a dragon fish bone bowl. xD

Belieze was our 'off day'. Since it was rainy, we weren't all that interested in going a-shore. Though we did eventually go out for an hour or so, buying a couble of t-shirts and laughing at the 'no prescriptions needed' pharmacys.
Since our swimming with the stingrays had been canceled before, we decided to try for a dolphin encounter and got the tickets.

Despite the signs saying "Excursions will run rain or shine." Our dolphin encounter was canceled on Friday due to the weather. -____- We assumed that they were afraid of the dolphins getting wet... ._.
So we shopped.
Roatan was like a third-world country. >.> There were occasional chickens and dogs and everyone was trying to sell you something. (Vendors and people standing in front of stores would say, "Looking is free!") There was even a kid who followed us for a ways down the street, pointing at random trees and telling us what they were. "That's a mango tree, those are coconuts." I assumed he expected money for this. >_> He only named those two trees. We lost him by crossing the street. Apparently his parents had told him not to go across the street. xD Which, by the way, was insane.
I will never, EVER drive in foreign countrys.
My dad and brother had gone out before me and my mom and had encountered a man selling his taxi services. The first time they passed him, his name was Wally. They passed him again on their way back to the ship and his name was Eric.
._.

The cruise ship itself was beauuuuutiful! Carnival Legends was our ship. Lots of people say a cruise is all about the food. Pfft, they lie. It's only about the food if half of your shore excursions get canceled.
...
Buffet was always open, and free. Well, as free as the 4,000 dollar previous cruise charge can be. xD
And now I'm tired. x_x My head's still spinning from the wave-like motion. Urrr.

Newest Watchers: Thanks ya guys!


I'm beginning to recognize that most of you who watch me are from SO. xD

Requests: No, sorry, no requests. I'm surprised people actually like me enough to ask this though. I'll take bribes though, yessir.

Kiriban: I have no kiriban. Not yet anyway. I don't think I'm at the level of actually being good enough to have one that is.

Trades: *smacks self* Why do I keep doing these, I have no reference pictures for you guys. >.< On the other hand, you seriously want to do a trade with me? I'm stunned really.

No more trades, please. Anyone else who asks, I'll kindly refuse them and suggest...maybe waiting a while. I REALLY. NEED to draw my own reference pictures and character sheets first.
