Karaoke

Just experienced what happens when you place a bunch of drunk people and a karaoke machine in the same room.
     Fun times, fun times.
     As you can tell, it was karaoke night at the gazebo at the resort. It started at 7 and I think it's still going on. There were a couple really good singers. Better than some of the lot that go on America's Got Talent and make complete and utter fools of themselves. Then the karaoke kind of just morphed into a linedance/freedance thing around 9 something. There was a drunk lady we'd met earlier in teh day before the entertainment started who was drunk out of her mind (it was her birthday the next day) and having a good ol' time, while her husband just kept signing off on her tab and pretending they weren't acquainted in the slightest bit XD. But, she was hilarious. I was kind of grumpy about going at first at 7:30 when my mom heard the singing from the balcony, but I ended up having quite a blast, without embarrassing myself or getting hammered.
     Also, went to Port Lucaya Marketplace today. We had gone yesterday, but since it was Sunday the majority of the little shops were closed, so it was pretty boring. Today was much more fun. Those Bahamians sure love to bargain. My mom went to the casino while I stayed to walk around. (I went with her to the casino on Sunday. Decided losing money wasn't really my thing.) Everystore (except for the fancy schmancy jewelry stores) I walked into, I was immediately confronted by the store owner telling me "hello, pretty girl, whatareyoulookinfor today? Lookatthis, right here, I give you for 10 dollars, it worth 12, handcrafted of mahogany veryprettyonyou" And I'd politely say I'm just looking, not mentioning the fact that I was screaming inside myself to just go say "whaddya mean, you handcrafted these? The next store 3 feet away is selling the same damn stuff." So yeah, it was hard to find something really unique. Even the little kiosk a woman set up near our pool at the resort had the same stuff we found in all the tiny one-manned shops. And it was burning hot of course, so you usually approached a store just to get out of the sun. I think the top of my head is sun burned. Also I missed a spot on my back when i was putting on sunscreen (I iz doofus).
     But I did end up finding something unique. I found a pretty shell necklace with little silver beads and mahogany beads, which I'd been looking for the whole day. Also, my mom and I went into Pandora Jewelry, and we got charm bracelets for each other. Very pretty. I got an adorkable turtle charm, and a red bead. Phew birthday gifts taken care of ;) XD
    SO, all in all, good day today. Tomorrow we've got the super combination tour. I can't wait to get this effing hospital band off -__-

  1. Hey, Ray here.

    Very interesting... I actually wasn't going to read the whole thing but ended up doing so anyway XD. I'm glad you're having a good time :)

    Like the HP quote. Yay jewelry. I shop for it everyday XD. My birthstone is diamond... kind of cliche but it's properties does suit me. Amazing that it's only made of one element. Also, the same stuff that makes up our squishy bodies also makes up the hardest thing on earth. Nature sure is amazing. Also, diamonds are pragmatic. I like beautiful things that are also useful. There is beauty in utility.

    Okay, I'll stop my rant now XD.
