Cruisin' &+ Crushin'

This summer, my family took a trip to the Bahamas via cruise boat. It was my first time on a cruise and it was one of my favorite vacations that I've taken. We first arrive to an airport like setting, where you have to go through the security screening and then a big waiting room. Everyone from the boat sits there waiting for your ticket number to be called. Waiting impatiently, I convinced my parents to get our photo taken by the professionals outside the door. As a family, we got our photo taken once. But me...I was so bored I wanted a picture in front of every backdrop possible. After fulfilling my boredom, our number finally got called! Once on the cruise, it's like a whole new world. People everywhere with thick accents from all over the world work on the cruise. They come up to you offering drinks, acting like its just there for you to grab. Little do the oblivious cruise riders know, they will later be charged. However, at that time everything is being done for you, therefore no one is has a care in the world. The best part was the ice-cream machine. Unlimited ice-cream and frozen yogurt 24/7! My brother and I made several trips. Surprisingly, I didn't gain any weight from this trip. Not that I'm complaining. I also had a cruise boo thang too (a really attractive, tan boy)! He was perfect on paper. Too good to be true. I was on cloud 9 the whole week with him. We met awkwardly in the elevator. At first it was just my brother and I in the elevator going to the pool deck. But then Zac (my cruise boo thang) got in the elevator and my brother knowing that I had a crush on him, dashed out. As he was trying not to get smashed between the closing doors he said, "I'm taking the stairs, and my sister likes you btw!" Little brothers... However, this was the beginning of our 4 day fling. We hung out with each other as much as we could. He was such a sweet talker. Smh. We would stay out on the deck and watch storms in the distance. Sometimes play video games in the club (I know, so romantic). Before we had to get off the cruise we exchanged numbers yaadadadahh.. we talk to each other for a week after. Calls me....tells me he wants to marry me and have 3 kids. (he was being dead serious). I got a little scared haha, but I just blew it over like it was nothing. I mean, he lives in Georgia, I live in Indiana so nothing would've happened. He requested to marry me on Facebook. I accept. Almost two days later...he gets a girlfriend. Instead of being mature about it and just letting me know. He makes me look stupid by just cutting me off completely AND THE BEST PART...he deletes me off his Facebook. What a sweetie. Moral of the story...I hate boys. (jk, only certain ones).

I guess I'm not the only one...

Being the age that I am, I feel like all my dad ever does is keep me locked up. He keeps the leash tight, and the collar even tighter. Recently, however, he's loosened the reigns a little bit. He also has a very short lived temper. He always thinks he's right no matter what. And when things don't go his way, you better "watch the F*** out" (in his own words). But turns out, I'm not the only one. Tina Fey's dad acts exactly like mine. One day, her dad got in his head that he wanted to clean the carpets. He was going to do this by renting a rug shampooer. Knowingly, Mrs. Fey said "those things never work". However, he didn't let the rain on his parade effect him. So, him and Tina proceeded to get the rug shampooer along with the shampoo. When they arrived home, Tina was ordered to go outside and play while her dad cleaned the carpets. 5 mins later...Tina hears commotion inside. Her dad was cursing. Objects were being flung everywhichway. He flung the back screen open while throwing the bottles of shampoo on the back porch. The rug shampooer followed in a complete mess. "Your mother...is a witch!" "She cursed me!" The shampooer of course didn't work. "The godd*mn thing is defective." My dad....acts the same exact way. And on top of that he would make it so much more dramatic by letting the hose of the rug shampooer flop around purposely just to aggravate him. GOTTA LOVE EM!
