Days 2 and 3

tuesday and wednesday we had to pack up all the luggage from the hotel and hop on down to the pier. there really wasn't a lot to do the first day on the cruise ship. once we got to our rooms i unpacked everything and assisted dona and el with their unpacking. this cruise ship is awesome.
way nicer than the previous one i had been on. about 65% or more of the people on the ship are over the age of 30. it’s a bit strange feeling like everyone is staring at you because you are so young.  i decided to tell anyone that asks that i am a self made millionaire just for a good laugh.
the food here is AWESOME!!! so good. i swear i am going to gain a hundred pounds. you can seriously order a new york steak to your room ANYTIME. talk about high class. wednesday we spent the entire day sailing our way to stockholm, sweden and getting fat on all the delicious food. yum!!! :)
here are a few pictures from the sunset on tuesday.

so my updates for this are going a couple of days behind. so bare with me i might catch up but i doubt it.
airport and day 1
after an excessive amount of hours at the airport/plane/standing in lines trying to rearrange things we arrived in denmark. 

but oh it was hell getting here. 

we arrived to salt lake airport for our 330 flight to chicago at 1. our flight had been delayed due to weather, although according to my handy iphone, the weather was perfect for our direct course. 
so they rerouted us to LA. that’s right, the opposite direction from our desired destination. we had to practically run to the airplane in order to catch the flight. once we arrived at LAX we had to exit and re-enter to get new boarding passes for our next flight. 
turns out the flight that the slc airport had rerouted us on, didn’t actually have room for us. so we stood in line for over an hour trying to arrange a way for us to fly on the flight. 
finally, after an excessive amount of unnecessary nonsense we had a spot on the plane. 
but we only had 40 minutes to go through security, get to the correct terminal, and use the restroom. it took us an hour and a half to do all that in salt lake. 
we ran! 
barely made it. the flight was a long one. really long. 
we flew from la to frankfurt germany. 
the bathroom trips were a little rough but we managed. i did get yelled at by a female flight attendant for doing absolutely nothing. what a witch! 
once we arrived in frankfurt we had one more connection to get to denmark. plus, we had to get one boarding pass. seeing as the last two airports were a disaster we stressing that this was going to be another rough time. but lord were we wrong. 
frankfurt has by far the BEST airport service i have ever encountered. from the time we stepped off one plane 'til we took flight on our departing plane we had assistance. 
no rush, no stress, as smooth as cutting butter with a hot knife. 
this flight was pretty short, but after long hours at the airport the long hours on the planes it seemed like ages to me for the flight to end. when we arrived in denmark it was finally time to go collect all our luggage. getting to the baggage reclaim was a nightmare. the directions we were given were just lousy and after we found the correct place the doors were broken so we couldn’t even get were we needed to be. 
so it was off to find another route. a very nice man assisted us to the baggage reclaim and helped us collect our luggage. turns out we were missing two. one happened to be my main suitcase which contained most of my belongings. so i took off to go report the missing luggage. the gentleman i spoke to was horribly rude. and when you have slept about 3 hours in the last 36 everything just amplifies. i was so angry and annoyed that i could have punched the man in the face! after an hour of trying to figure out all the information that was needed we were finally able to leave the airport and head to the hotel. help went out to see if our ride was there and was unable to re-enter due to security. so i was left with dona and elbert in their wheelchairs, two carts of luggage, six carry on bags, and a walker to get out in one shot. so i cheated i pushed them halfway out and help snuck in and took them. i was on my last cart of luggage and got stopped by security. some stupid bitch yelled in my face that what i was doing was against airport laws. i lost my temper considering the situation and told her that it is impossible for me to obey airport security laws when there is no assistance offered. i told the dumb lady that i had two people and wheelchairs and all the luggage. she told me to ask for help, which is useless when the help desk is past the point of no return. so i went back to dona and elbert and attempted to have elbert push the luggage cart while i pushed him and pulled dona’s chair from the front. the security woman just stood there watching me, didn’t even bother to offer assistance. a very nice couple saw me struggling and didn’t even ask they just started helping i couldn’t have thanked them enough. after a short drive we finally arrived at the hotel, checked in, and made it up to the room.  after about an hour and half of helping dona and el arrange things we were able to order some dinner and finally relax a little bit. after dinner i assisted them to bed and i finally got to go to sleep. 
this first day has been alright. i still feel a little tired but i don’t believe it is from jetlag as much as from how stressed i was. my body feels great but my head is just overworked. we have one more night in the hotel before we head to the pier tomorrow and hop on our ship. luckily they found my missing luggage and it will be delivered sometime tonight so the stress of not having anything is finally gone. i will actually have clean clothes and all my supplies, hooray!

ready or not

well i'm just about packed. 

i think?

i hope!

i feel like i am forgetting so much

but i triple checked so i don't think

i really am.

but i guess i'll find out later.

i'm not really sure what access i will 

have to the internet overseas so 

i will update when i can. 

farewell. 

i already miss monroe. 

well i feel dumb...

i just watched sisterhood of the traveling pants.
and guess what?!
i freaking cried! so stupid.
i never. ever. ever. cry especially in movies.
just wanted to share how dumb that is.

another reason i feel dumb.
i can't pack.
i don't want to pack.
i don't know what to pack.
fail.
will someone please help me pack?
goodnight.

basically...

i really have nothing to blog about lately.
i think i am too absorbed in living my life
at the moment to type it all out.
with dance, stressing, work, stressing,
packing, stressing,organizing, stressing,
loving, laughing, crying, and
stressing to the max.
i am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
hopefully after tomorrow night
i will feel some relief. ballet will be
over for the summer. :)
after that all i have to worry about
is packing for the trip (8 more days).

short and sucky

cut my hair yesterday.
Hate it!
tried to dye it and get rid of the black
(that was really never the intended color)
failed.
hair is just a disaster!
probably going to have to bleach it
so i can have a normal color.
i wish the hair on my head grew
as fast as the hair on my legs.
that is all.

YUM

today i ended an 8 month long stretch.
and boy am i happy i did.
the statisfaction i am feeling is grand.
my dearest friend allisono

the first bite i was in heaven!
i forgot how much i love
shredded beef burritos
with extra hot sauce!
the best lunch i have had in a while.

oh fiesta,
i promise not to stay away
from you for so long again.
love your favorite customer,
meg

rant

i really need to get this out. so i apologize before hand if it is a waste of your time. i know a few of you are cursed enough to know some of my past history. well as of late it seems that every so often it creeps up on me. not so much by memory or something like that, it's more like by association. without going into too much detail i am so irritated and mystified by people in general (well more like certain individuals, but i'm really not one to gossip). i just want to understand how people are okay with being just plain stupid. i really cannot fathom how anyone would allow themselves to be so irresponsible. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO THROW THEIR LIFE AWAY! call me naive, but it just doesn't compute in my head. if your life is shitty why would you continue to do things that only make it worse. the selfishness, the stupidity and the overwhelming fact that you lack complete control of your own self just seems like a cop-out. be responsible for something. be honest with yourself. i mean for christ sake grow a set and be something better than a deadbeat.
i.e. if you have children and are too selfish to not use drugs. too irresponsible to keep a job. too mental to be a REAL parent for the child you brought into this world. don't get all defensive and suicidal because DCFS is going to take your children away and give them to a responsible person who can give them the love that you refused to give them! don't try and blame it on anyone else but yourself. YOU are the only one that controls you and the things that you do. it just is so unbelievable that people would really act that way and really be okay with acting that way. i guess i'm not really one that cares about what other people think of me either, but i do care about what i think of myself.
this is probably a question i am going to have to face a repeated amount of times in my life and honestly i never expect to really ever find the real answer. but for now i am beyond frustrated, irritated, there really aren't words to describe my feelings correctly right now. BUT YOU STUPID WHORE, JUST STOP!
