A Canadian girl who never has adjusted to warm climates – despite her job that puts her in contact with them on a pretty constant basis – does not really have much opportunity to go outside in Brazil…or anywhere in South America to be honest.
I could go out, there is literally nothing stopping me, I have plenty of time off each day and my class numbers are very light in port to begin with – but I take one look at that sun beating down outside and go “nope, not unless I’m in Hawaii, only for Hawaii will I brave that heat”.
Might be water girl, but I guess that doesn’t make me a beach baby.
So I stay in, and put on a program that I don’t really have to focus on (right now it’s the X-Files, and by the way how was there ever any doubt that Mulder and Scully were totally head over heels for each other? Is this not completely obvious from maybe…the second episode? Honestly). And I sew…this has led to my being nearly half finished my latest embroidery project despite having only been on the ship just over two weeks. Considering that one large pattern used to take me a full year, and this one is nearly half done in the space of two contracts…I suppose I am getting more skilled with my needle. Or at least quicker.
See, my life is not actually as glamourous as some people think it is….
