Last week/It's over!

I am finally home from the Dawn and I can't believe it!  Four months absolutely flew by!  It's great being home, I've gotten to spend time with George, clean my room, etc, but since it's only been like 2 days, I'll fill you in on my last week, that's a little more exciting.  But you might also find that boring, and if you do, just go ahead and look at the pictures.

Last Sunday I met up with a bunch of friends and my bro at Ben's old workplace for brunch, which was really fun, but unfortunately Ben couldn't go because he was told last minute that he had to work all day on the ship.  Lame!  Anyways, I got pretty drunk on huge margaritas and my cast did their best to keep me that way for the rest of the afternoon.  That night we Molly and I had a cocktail party in our room, and I insisted on getting dressed up and wearing heels in our cabin (I actually was sober by that time.) Monday night Ben and I went out to our final all-you-can-eat sushi-dinner-for-15-dollars, it was pretty great.  Tuesday we had a drag party, we were supposed to have a drag show, but apparently some of the higher ups "didn't want to encourage that type of behavior." Yikes.  Anyways, in protest a few of us still dressed in drag and went to the crew bar, I've attached photos- I'm the latino guy.  It was a blast.  Wednesday I spa-ed it up, and that night a bunch of us went into Hamilton to go clubbing again, which was fun despite the fact that I really do hate clubs. Thursday, Ben, Bodie, Matt and I went snorkling at Church Bay.  It was amazing!  We saw tons of parrot fish (they're these really big rainbow-colored fish with sassy iridescent lips and big teeth), and big blue fish and even a jellyfish- that part was actually more scary than cool.  Anyways, it was really awesome. Thursday night we had our last scripted show, which was both really fun and really sad.  Then Friday night our cast took the trainers out to a steak dinner aboard the ship to thank them for giving us free classes and stuff.  Saturday morning Ben took me out to Jazz Brunch for our final mother (me) daughter (Ben) meal and Saturday night, after our adult show, there was a party for the crew who were leaving the ship.

It was a really fun week and I was sad to see it end.  I miss alot of my friends from the ship (Ben!) but I'm also really happy to be able to see my friends at home.  

Anyhoo, in three weeks I will be off to Novi, Michigan to perform in "Jewsical the Musical" and will hopefully continue the blog once that gets going.  In the meantime, I'll leave you with this: If there's anything I've learned from this ship experience, it's that I'm a huge fag hag and that black guys like to hit on me.  Maybe I learned a few other things but I can't think of them right now.
