stinky woppie!

Exactly one year ago, I was about to embark on a trip of a lifetime to visit a cherished friend. Now I sit in front of my computer in the same place where I had last made my last and final exchange with him. Perhaps I should have ended with my favorite line at the end of my senior year in high school. I see you never!
Well, it's at this point that I think I would rather use a regular blogger rather than a scribble. Unfortunately my digitalrice page has been down for a month...and they took away the SSI feature...puff! As for now, I have set up a temporary haven at my badpenguin page. It has all the essentials--the things that people want to see: pictures, pictures, and pictures. It's time to start anew.
It's weird though. I took my two previous cruises on the Carnival Ship. After those trips, my dad would ask me what my favorite trip ever was. Before the cruises, I would cite the New Jersey trip where I spent a day riding along the boardwalk. But after...I would cite the cruise, mostly for the fact that we were never rushed to do things and I was given an element of independence. Nonetheless, years after, I would rather cherish the fact that I came away from a trip holding a teensy paper with e-mail addresses rather than come away with simply a full stomach.
Dude, the Alaskan cruise by NCL was the best! And Alli knew it.
Things I learned during my 10-day trip
because Doreen is already doing a highlights thing
water will and always be pronouced as wτ t r and never wadda
it's tastes not tastes, you fool!
there is such a thing as summer in Alaska
Philadephia rolls are better than California rolls
salmon are fat, but have the ability to swim upstream all the time
I, Jennifer D. Ng, am a thing
being nineteen years old doesn't mean that I cannot be a teenager
nor does that mean that people will always guess that I am younger than I really am - I am 15 years old!
but that does mean that I can be the same age as the teens coordinator
people in a spa do not want people above them playing basketball
it's fun adding a -i or -y to guy's name; they just can't stand it
being beat up is never truly a threat
it is necessary to consume six meals a day on a cruise ship, knowing that you're paying $125/day for the trip
Emmy is shy
for people under the age of 21, Haines, Alaska is only a good place to chew grass
Alli really doesn't like his picture taken, but does that mean he is really....ugly? j/k
Doreen has balls
any activity with the word hunt will always ending up being lame and frustrating
I will always have a slow reaction time especially when things are being thrown at me (i.e. ping pong balls, pillows)
talking until 2 am in the morning has never ever been more fun
ranting about a horrible, horrible ex will always incite a good conversation - who knew?
the stalkee will always know that he or she is being stalked
phone numbers will always be easily mixed up
you will always find someone on a cruise ship who has at least a two-degree connection to you
I have a split personality
freestyle dining rocks!!!
don't bring too much formal clothing to a cruise but don't forget to bring any at all
Alaskan ports of call are not only known for their beauty but also for the many under-a-dollar souvenirs available for tourists (hematite aka black diamonds will always be cheap in Alaska)
glacier water is sweet
teenagers can make more noise than rollicking honeymooners
chocalholic buffet is never what it seems to be
you will walk like a drunkard for days after leaving the ship; I have been walking into walls for the last few days
always order the chilled soup
actually for that matter, order everything on the menu
there are ways to escape when playing Mafia, but there are no ways to escape plowing people down
I still have yet to meet a psycho online
Cutco knives will always start off a nice conversation and it's not only because of their sharp edge that can penetrate through flesh in seconds
bears can row boats
some people just don't like to dance
lifestyle will change into slothiness once you enter into our arena
once a geek, always a geek
bring wallet pictures on a trip - you'll never know when they'll come in handy
even if it was your third cruise, you'll still never get onto the Newlywed Game
if you lie on the bed with your feet outstretched, you will make black marks on the wall
there are some people who don't know how to play poker and I am one of them
although Randy the comedian has been on Comedy Central and HBO, that doesn't mean he is pee-in-the-pants hilarious
somehow I will always find a pee-in-the-pants moment every week, but I'll never remember the cause of that moment
if you fall asleep in a lounge, people will remember you
to certain people (i.e. people who live in LA), the San Francisco Bay Area is known as Gay Bay, but to other people it is known for its Chinatown
Alli's uncle is very wise...and we all know why, because he's a professional specializing in telling people what's wrong with their body
if you offer someone a free drink, they will come
it's always better to be immature
Alli has a sandy voice
Emmy has a voice of a round ball
watch where you're going when you're embarking the ship; you might fall just like I did
7000, 4214, 7003, 20 = vital numbers
prepare to recieve a lot of e-mail after coming back,and expect to only recieve .000000001% of that e-mail that are worth reading
only nerds play scrabble
natives of Alaska aren't Eskimoes, only the natives up north are
air fresheners are meant to stink up a car, not meant to be a decorative item
always smile
open up the Russian dolls before purchase, otherwise you might come home missing the crucial piece - the mini doll!
advertisements aren't always correct - a NCL ad said one teenager got 25 e-mails addresses after his cruise; I only got 12 e-mail addresses
meeting people is always the best part of any trip despite the fact that they may be true psychos
