ok so its friday now and i just got back from my cruise this morning/early afternoon. it was such a blast! there were so many cute boys on that boat it was ridiculous...in a good way obviously. basically, this is the short (actually started out the short, but now is the ridiculously long) version of this spring break vaca so far:
thursday- flight schedule and actually getting down here was a mess, but i made it obviously and it ended up really good cuz i got to fly 1st class from seatac to lax...so nice, they fricken served me some mixed nuts...that were WARM...no packages of peanuts in 1st class...definitely something that i will never get to experience again...so i finally got into la at like 1130 and sarah came and got me at the airport, and we came back to her apartment for a little bit, and then she went and showed me around the row...got to see her house and all that jazz. then we came back and went to bed cuz she had to get up early on friday to do something for a friend.
friday- woke up around noon, met courtneyrose, sarahs roomy, really sweet girl! and just kinda hung around their apartment while they were off running errands and whatnot, and so when sarah got back from her thing we just hung out here, and then that night we went to the beverly center and wandered around there for a little bit, and came back and basically crashed...after we found out that we were goign to disneyland on saturday!!! so much excitement!!!!
saturday- DISNEYLAND!!! the best place on earth! we left around 9 ish and got to disneyland around 930 and got a special deal where for the price of a ticket to go to disneyland only, we got to go into california adventure too...so we did that ALLLLLL day...from 930 am to midnight...but it was sooo worth it because i love that place! so that took up all of saturday...
sunday- we slept in a little bit, and then went shopping in old town pasedena with a few girls from sarahs house, that was fun! never been there before and it was really cute little shopping area...so wandered around there for a little while...got some fro-yo (frozen yogurt)...that you could get like stuff mixed into, so basically it was coldstone, but with fro-yo instead of ice cream. and then after that we just came back to her apartment and watched movies and packed.
monday- left sarah's apartment at noonish to meet her parents at the airport to then catch the shuttle to the port of la where we boarded our cruise boat...AMAZING!! i will update with pictures later. i had never been on a cruise before so it was that much more exciting:). so around 3ish we got on the boat, put our crap into our cabin, wandered around for a little while, and then we had dinner at 8...met some interesting people...our waiter was hilarious...but more about that later.:) then sarah and i went back to our cabin after dinner and took a nap for a few. and we woke up around maybe 1130 (i really dont remember) and there was this place on the 8th deck called "the circuit" (it was like a nightclub thing...really fun) so we decided to get all hot and go up there and see who all was there. met these two guys robby and paul...paul was a crazy guy, but cool for the most part. oh and we met jerry, danced with him for a little bit...but again...more about that later, thats a good story. NOT! ok so we hung out there, danced a little, met some more guys but i dont remember their names...and then about 330ish we went back to the cabin and went to bed.
tuesday- the boat docked in san diego at like 8 on tuesday morning and then around 10 we got up and at some breakfast in the windjammer cafe, and around 11ish we went off the boat into san diego, wandered down the pier/sidewalk/whatever you want to call it for like half hour maybe and got bored, so we went back on the boat, got into our bathing suits and went out and laid by the pool for a little bit. i got a little sun, it was definitely a good time. after that we went back to the cabin for a while, and maybe we took a nap again i cant really remember to be honest. then that night was the formal night on the cruise, so everyone was looking all pretty in their dresses and suits...so fun! i was very much on the casual side of formal seeing as i dont really own anything formal (no need for it). at dinner our waiter was hilarious!!!! omg! the guy was nuts...he folded like this napkin into a mouse and made it jump across the table and made our whole table jump and squeal...and we laughed about it to the point of tears for a good 10 minutes...anywho after dinner, went to the casino on board for a few minutes, sarah lost like 5 bucks (no biggie), and then we went and changed to go up to the circuit again. it was a hella fun club, lots of hot guys...it was great. guys were buying sarah and i drinks...and then sarah, paul, jerry and i were hanging out, i danced with jerry for like one song, i was really not into him, but whatever...basically long story short with him-really cool guy, just very aggressive and i didnt really like that. expanding on that...around 315 i was getting tired, so jerry was all like, you look tired, you should go to bed...basically he kept bringing it up for like 15 minutes about how i should go to bed, so finally i was like yeah ok...so he walked me down to my room, and was trying to be all suave and totally wasnt, and he was all like so do i get a kiss for walking you down? and i was like ok whatever, so i let him give me like a peck...and then i didnt want anything more so i said goodnight and shut the door. i started to get ready for bed and then to my surprise, like 2-3 minutes later there is a knock on the door...i open it up and jerry like walks into the doorway and starts making out with me...and i basically let him for like 5 seconds and then i pushed him away, said goodnight (AGAIN) and shut the door, really kicking myself in the ass for letting him kiss me in the first place, but its my own fault for not stopping it. so that was the end of my night, not a good ending...
wednesday- the boat docks at catalina island at around 8 in the morning...but sarah and i were so tired for everything that had happened the last two days/nights that we didnt wake up until 3 that afternoon, so we just got dressed and lounged around the boat, had some lunch, talked to paul for a little while, and then went to dinner, and afterward decided to take another trip up to the casino. i didnt spend any of my money, because im too chicken and afraid to lose it all, so anyway, sarahs dad gave her 4 dollars in coins to play slots, so shes playing this one machine, wins like 80 something coins within a few minutes, so shes content, you know, just won 20 bucks, and she just wanders and plays some other machines, gets back down to like 5-10 dollars in coins, and she goes to find her dad. he is playing a slot machine, so she just sits down at the one next to him, and i am not fuckin kidding you on this...puts in 3 quarters, three fricken quarters, and wins almost $200. it was insane! and there was this lady a few manchines down who was just livid! she had been playing that one machine all night long, and then decided to leave, and 5 minutes later sarah comes by, pops in a few quarters and wins $200...oh man that lady's face was priceless...so then we go and meet sarahs parents and their friends in one of the bars, and we try the drink of the day...and electric lizard...it was pretty good...anywho, so we go back to the cabin to put her money away so she wont lose it:). so after that, there was a midnight buffet special and it was all CHOCOLATE!!!! soooo good...had some chocolate covered strawberries, some fondue, some chocolate cake, some chocolate eclairs, everything chocolate! so then after we have a plateful of chocolate each, we go back to the cabin, eat a few bites and we get ready and go up to the club again, we are all just hanging out (me, sarah, paul, and jerry) and its pretty uncomfortable with jerry cuz i wasnt really paying attention to him for some reason, and so he is like trying to make passes at me again, and im just not reacting to it and he isnt getting the point...so i was telling sarah about it, and about how i thought this other guy matt was pretty cute, so shes like ok, hes on the dane floor lets go dance. so me and her go out there, and she like bumps him on "accident" cuz at this point he and his friend (i dont know his name) arent dancing with anyone, so we make small talk and dance casually for a few minutes and then sarah being the amazing friend she is starts dancing with matts friend and so i start dancing with matt....so fun! he was plastered and so he was really funny...and so sarah stays out there for like 5 minutes, asks me if im good, and then she goes back to hang with paul and jerry..so i dance with matt for a good 20-30 minutes, loving every minute of it...and then he needs a break for a drink with his friends, and so i go sit with sarah and paul and jerry...and jerry apparently had been talking to paul while sarah and i were dancing and was all like asking him if he knew what was going on...cuz i wasnt paying attention to jerry obviously. so then jerry goes to the bathroom, and paul tells me all this and is like you need to tell him that you arent interested, and im not used to having to tell people that cuz im not used to the attention, but that is beside the point, so basically...jerry comes back, sits down and is like, so whats up? and kinda skirting around the issue, and finally he was like are you uncomfortable around me, and so i told him basically that i didnt want to be anything more than friends, and that the kiss the night before meant nothing...but i tried to be nicer about it, and so basically he was all awkward after that, and was like "how is it that you are so comfortable and confident on the dance floor but you get all shy when im like with the three of them?" and i really didnt know what to say, so i didnt really say a whole lot and then like 5 minutes later i leaned over and was talking to sarah and she was like lets go to the bar, so we went up there and matt was there with his friends...so we were talking to him some more, and sarah was all like...initiating...like go dance! thing, so matt and i went out on the dance floor again for another 20-30 minutes id say, it was soooo funny! so hes drunk, and im not completely sober, and there is this little person on the dance floor (i believe little person is the politically correct term) and we couldnt tell if it was a guy or a girl, so he is convinced its a guy, but i think its a girl, cuz she came in the bathroom when i was in there, so we are arguing about that and flirting like crazy, but basically i didint care about what we talked about or anything like that cuz i just wanted to get away from jerry and i knew that in the morning, if i was a complete dork around matt, it wouldnt matter cuz he was trashed. so then we go our separate ways...i went and sat back down with sarah and paul and jerry, and sarah and paul are all cute a cuddly and whatnot and jerry and i are all awkward, and he goes to me "your having such a good time" and all like in a kinda sad tone, and i was like yeah...why dont you go out and have fun? and he was like cuz you are dancing with someone else...like he wasnt getting the F-ing point! so i was like...go dance with other girls, and he was all like, not im just gonna go to bed, so he goes to bed, and i am just thankful that he is gone and thankful that i got to dance with matt so much...so then at like 3 i go to bed (on my own thankfully:))
thursday- we docked in ensenada, mexico at like 8 in the morning and so sarahs parents tell us to be ready to go by like 9-930 so we get plenty of time in mexico, seeing as i had never been there and whatnot, so we get up and sarah goes and knocks on their door at like 930-10 and they are still in bed! it was hella funny...so then by about 11-1130 we got off the boat and into mexico...and i really didnt know what to expect since i had never been there before, but it was ok...we were gonna go to senor frogs, but never got around to it...we basically walked through the shops and then came back and i got some hella hot diva sunglasses (sarah got them too...were twins:)) and so by about 130-145 we are back in our bathing suits by the pool and we lay out by the pool some more...for like an hour/hour and a half, and i got totally burnt....still am lobster red, but its all good...its pretty funny, cuz i have like a tan line from carrying my purse on my shoulder...really attractive (hehe) and so then we wandered around the boat for a while...ran into matt and made fun of him for being so trashed the night before, and then we headed back to the room and watched ladder 49 (good movie) and we both fell asleep so at like 755 we wake up and we have dinner at 8, so we throw on some decent clothes since it is like a nice dinner, and so we have our last dinner and what not, and we go back to the cabin and watch some retro tv in our sweats until about 11, then we got ready and headed up to the circuit for the last night of fun before the cruise was over. so we get up to the circuit at like 1130ish and there is this adult comedy show with this stand-up guy who was pretty funny...so we got a drink, the "ras bartender special" all green for st. patty's day and all...it was amazing. and so then the comedian got done at midnight, and so its just me and sarah chillin and so we turn around and start talking to this guy...also named matt:). and him and sarah are all talking about frats and sororities cuz they have that in common, so im just listening along, throwing in a few words here and there...and so then paul and his friend robby arrive at like 1215-1230, and so its the five of us sitting there, and sarah and paul are obviously crushing or whatnot, so we all decide to go sit down by the dance floor and hang out down there...well, matt was getting another beer, so he didnt see where we ended up sitting so he went and sat with his friends (one of which was the other matt from the previous night). so then sarah and i go out and dance to like one song and then we decided to go back up to the bar, so we get up there, and matt (the one that we had met earlier...hes from texas, so he will be texas matt and the other matt from the previous night will be north dakota matt cuz that is where he goes to school...that was meant to make things less confusing, but i dont think i quite succeeded at that:))...anywho, texas matt comes and sits next to me at the bar and we are talking and he was like i didnt know where you all went, so i went and sat with the guys...and i was like thats cool...so we stayed up there for a few and he came back and sat with us and the five of us all hung out...and i danced to like 2 songs with texas matt, it was fun...and then we went back and sat down, and basically just chilled and did some fun stuff...(i will elaborate on that another time...ask if you want to know)...and it got to be like 245-3 ish and so we all decided to go out by the pool, and i was in like a sleeveless top and jeans, so i was kinda cold, and so we were all walking, and we lost sarah and paul, and then robby (who is hella crazy....omg) was like im gonna go to bed...so its just me and matt and we just wandered around by the pool for like 45 minutes to an hour and talked and it was really fun, cuz he was a little buzzed (among other things) and was fascinated by the lights that surrounded the pool...i will tell you that story later if you really want to know, it isnt that great, but its hella funny), so then he gets the munchies, but no food places are open at this time, so he decides he is gonna go back to his room and order room service, cuz that is a 24 thing, so then we go our separate ways...nothing happened, kinda of bummed about that, but its ok...and then i went back to the cabin and sarah and i had a good time talking and what not about the many funny stories of the night ("funny stories" sarah..hehe) and finally around 4-430 we go to bed.
friday- we woke up at 730 to be out of the cabin by 8...and we went into one of the main rooms on the boat, to wait around until we were called to disembark (i sound like i know what im talking about...but i dont...i just asked sarah:))...so we get into that room at like 8ish and we were there until almost 11 when we finally got called, and both sarah and i passed out in the chairs for a good hour and a half/two hours...and then we got off the boat, got our luggage and came back to her apartment and here i am typing this on my computer, listening to some music and just chillin...there are some pretty exciting events on the agenda for tomorrow, but i dont want to give it away, cuz i might not end up going through with it, so yeah...thats all you get....props to you if you actually read this whole thing. mad love! hope you all had as outstanding (paul...hahaha...sarah you know what im talking...you know how it is!) vaca as i did! mad love!
