Safety Tip [Gothcruise Edition]

[digitaldiscipline]

Drama in my vicinity can very quickly and discretely become "burial at sea" because I am a dick, and on vacation, and it is Not My Job To Be Adult Supervision.

Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

As you were.

I plan on drinking myself a very large drama shield.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Veeery popular choice.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Experts theorize that this, in fact, is why the rum is gone.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

I'm being proactive. :-)

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be far too blitzed to engage in drama. Unless someone wants to do a little interpretive dance for me while they hand me my fru-fru pineapple coconut rum with an umbrella concoction. I'll entertain that sort of drama happily.

[megiddo-lj.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think our drama is going to involve the Cabana Boy not getting refills fast enough.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

Oh Cabana Boy!

Heh. I had another idea for Cruise Drama. This street vendor guy is selling sock puppets and finger puppets! We could do a dramatic re-enactment of, erm, something. Or other.

Or we could just get trashed.

Funny that Christal and I have the very same thoughts about drama and tossing people overboard.

Great minds think alike. :)

See you in a few days!

[etcet.livejournal.com]

do we get to meet The Official Huzz?

[wyngdlyon.livejournal.com]

yup yup.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

I am perfectly content with Klingon Opera.

OMG... why who would expect you to be adult supervision.

tell them to grow up or leave.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

who would expect you to be adult supervision.

LAME.

Good lord if you cant be your own adult supervision, then DONT do it.

Hence why I dont drink to excess anymore...at least unless my husband is fully sober and aware I am drinking enough to get tipsy.

[tylorael.livejournal.com]

Occasionally, I rely on him to ensure that I end up someplace safe to sleep at the end of the night. I'm not sure if that qualifies as "adult supervision" or "guide".

[geeki.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as it is agreed upon before hand I would say more of a guide.

Personally Rafe I would trust, but I've "entrusted" my own drunk personage to someone else and ended up in a bad place because of it.

[geeki.livejournal.com]

BUT... on the same token that would be expecting Rafe not to drink, which I doubt he is going to do, so I wouldnt ask that of him :)

[tylorael.livejournal.com]

Naw, he doesn't not drink when I entrust him with that... he's just generally good at steering me in the right direction. It's usually on a boat, or I'm travelling with him and the Kimachu, or I'm staying with them... not usually so hard there, and definitely not "adult supervision"... more of "good sense of direction". ;-)

[geeki.livejournal.com]

*nods* not to ruin his rep on his own journal, but he's a good guy with a conscience... not something you run into often.

Which is probably why I would trust him, sure he might be a lech, and get an eyeful, but he'd make sure I was safe.

I was thinking more along the under 18 crowd, which I love both of my children, but if I was planning on going out, I just wouldnt take them, I would leave them with a responsible sitter.

I'm going on a cruise next summer and they arent going...

[geeki.livejournal.com]

Yes I suppose "no your room is THERE..." or "No she's fine, she's sleeping ON OUR COUCH....not going HOME WITH YOU" is good direction sense :)

When I used to drink to that excess I took easy to a whole new level...

[tylorael.livejournal.com]

And those would be exactly the "sense of direction" I was talking about... :-D

[etcet.livejournal.com]

"sherpa"?

;-)

[tylorael.livejournal.com]

*snerk*

You are the awesome. TWO DAYS!

[etcet.livejournal.com]

"your indigenous guide through the wilderness, over mountains and through valleys, versed in the art of survival, but not above letting you get intimately familiar with the local discomforts before suggesting a better tactic."

Yep, "Social Sherpa" fits.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

I usually go by "drunk sherpa". *snerk*

What are y'all doing on Friday? I get off work at 6-ish and would be happy to chill either on Jersey side or the big city.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

we land in newark shortly before 9pm. after that, it's gonna be check-in and NFI beyond that.

[nener.livejournal.com]

That's an awfully dramatic statement... ;-)

I thought a side order of drama was included? I plan on ordering popcorn from room service.

This is going to be just like that Greek cruise.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

If anyone suggests the Hemlock Martini (the Socrates Special), I think I'll pass.

As I was saying in a conversation elsewhere, this is vacation is much more "in need of downtime, not stimulation" from my end.

The club stuff is going to be a fun diversion, I'm sure, and a certain amount of C14 conversation is inevitable, but I expect to have my ass: parked in a lounge chair with a book, in a hot tub, the workout room, the beach, or other casual social settings the vast majority of the time.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

Seconded. My brain is about to explode into small combustible chunks.

[nener.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have to remember to download more books to my Nokia.

I have good intentions of seeing the workout rooms on the ship and at the hotel, but those might just be intentions.

Some of the best times on the GCs have been just hanging out...especially with pizza at midnight on Carnival.

Only Rafe can start drama by demanding it not be near him. I think this has the potential to cause some sort of relativistic Einsteinian/Shakespearian paradox. Expect drama vortices appearing at various places throughout the ship.

LOL!

Beware the vortices!
