Week 9. 29 more to go.

Can't believe two months has already gone by... CRAZZYYY.. time goes by so fast its insane! now on week number 9 which means 29 more weeks to go. Doesn't seem like much eh? well...when you consider there are 52 weeks in a year.. that makes it seem like a lot more! We only have about two months left in Alaska.. then off to CARIBBEAN!! Can't wait for sunshine and beach! This week one of our female dancers who extended her contract went home.. just for a week.. so we are in the process of quickly re-blocking our shows for this week. Our show last night was quite ridiculous. ha well the first show.. lots of things just went wrong.. some of those things included me being in a number that I'm not usually in and managing to run into everyone and their dog while performing. and the fact that the ship was rocking uncontrollably didn't help... especially when I can barely keep myself standing on stable service, let alone a rolling ship! other than the shows being disastrous the rest of the night was quite enjoyable. Went out to Northern Lights and had a brilliant night of dancing and fun! The only downfall was that they didn't have anything to make my virgin pina colada. fail. So I had to stick with my usual gingerale. YAY for being sober!

Beautiful day in Alaska.

BEYOND BEAUTIFUL DAY IN KETCHIKAN! 72 degrees today and SUNNY! wow if everyday could be like this... I think I would actually enjoy the Alaskan summer. Things on the Zuidey are great. I have come to the conclusion that my whole contract will be filled with millions of goodbyes.. and I'm not talking about the passengers! ha I feel like everyone I have spent the last month with is gone or about to leave. Being in the cast we have one of the longest contracts on board, so we will see many people come and go and maybe even come back again! Its insane how close you get to people in such a short period of time.. and when they leave.. not knowing if you'll ever see them again because they have to live in Australia or Ireland or Turkey... goodness... guess it gives me a good excuse to vacation eh? The people I have met thus far are truly amazing and I couldn't ask for better people to spend my days with! well just another day in Ketchikan- DreamPark tonight- then Vancouver Saturday for a new cruise to begin :)

4th of July at sea.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! Didn't really feel like the 4th of July... considering I was on a boat lost at sea... ha no fireworks.. nothing much of a party because there are not just Americans on the cruise! ha but we still got to celebrate. We performed Stage and Screen and after we went out to Northern Lights to celebrate. So many people came out it was brilliant! not only was it the 4th, but we also gained an hour of sleep... partly the reason so many people came out ha! Got to dance, drink (just diet coke of course) haha and partttyyy.. we were all dolled up because it was formal night-- I love dressing up! after we continued the party in the OB. fun night with some truly amazing people! Juneau again today... cold.. cloudy.. and rainy... theres an alaskan summer for ya! having some amazing chinese food again at Zen, then back to the ship for a relaxing night off. Our replacement who was suppose to be here on saturday ended up not coming.... but we are getting another one in a week.. hopefully... ha and he should be here until the end of september and then hopefully Phillip is better and can return to his zuidey family! Skagway again tomorrow.

KETCH YOUR KAN.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!! WAHOOOO! I LOVE YOU LOOSH! Spending the day in Ketchikan, Alaska! pretty cloudy day... not to cold though which is nice. Eating at Annabelle's, which is supposedly known to have the best chicken fingers?? we shall see. it also has free internet-- FANTASTIICC!! Tonight we perform Dreampark... aahh the worst part of this show is the costume changes for me.. ha I swear I sweat more off the stage than on! We should have good shows tonight though. we have a few teenage groupies that love to sit in the very front of every show and steal flowers from around the ship to give to us! hahahah oh they are cuutee! GOOD NEWS! haven't been sea sick at all this cruise! yayy!! ha but... I did take a pill one of the nights.. but still I think I'm finding my sea legs! okay so two nights ago after we performed In Concert... we decided to have a girls night and watch a girlie movie... well Loosh decided to boycott this idea because she hates chicks flicks so she went to the OB for a drink. when I got back to the room she was passed out on the bed with full stage makeup on and same clothes she went out in. I get into bed and closed my eyes for about 2 seconds when I hear BAMMM BING JKAIEILMCIIESF.... followed by a groan.. I turn on the lights and Loosh is on the ground.. yes she fell out of bed! and took the bed rail down as well! My first reaction of course was to laugh haha but then I asked her if she was okay? she immediately got up and ran out of the room. I was so confused... I got up and cracked the door open because I knew she didn't have her key, and I waited on my bed for her to come back.. good thing she came back or I would have had to go out and look for her in my underwear! when she got back I kept asking her where she went and she wouldn't respond to me... She went pee then jumped back in bed and went to sleep! hahahahh in the morning she didn't remember what happened.. she didn't believe me until she saw her blankets and the broken bed rail on the floor. ha that is one of the many brilliant nights of my life. again I love you LOOSH, she's a canadian. :)
