Faggot

Today a guest wearing a Cowboys sweater yelled in my face, ‘faggot’! I wasn’t expecting it and I was surprised at how it shook my insides. I was so caught off guard I just said ‘I’m sorry?’ like I wanted him to repeat it. He then followed it up by saying that my feminine voice was making him and his wife uneasy…What does that even mean?!? I mean I don’t even speak with a lisp… but I was a low alto in concert choir in high school… ahh how proud my dad must’ve been.

The Sterns

They’re here…. They’re loud, they’re opinionated, and they’re coming to a ship near me! Actually they are already here and I am always very excited to see the Sterns. They are a family of four that sail with me and every time I see them on my ship I know my week will be that much more interesting.
