Coming through Houston?

No unfortunatly, although after the contract is finished I Might travel across the US for a month.

Ahem, Hawaiii is lovely this time of year

Oh wait....it's lovely every time of year

Shut up Mark. I've spent most of the day on the edge of hypothermia, all of the first half of psychology clinging to a radiator, freezing my ass off due to nordic winds. Then I see jolly Hawai'i guy come along with his optimistic weather report

Don't feel bad. It's actually a bit on the chilly side here.

Normally, we'd be up in the high 70s or low 80s.

17°C is your low? Are you kidding me? We don't always see that in summer.

I did look into going to Hawaii, I really want to some time soon, but ita the wrong season for it. Maybe next time.

Looks to be a pretty decent contract.

Who runs the ship? We're not due to go on another cruise until August. This one goes from Southampton (UK) to New York via Norway, Iceland, Greenland and Canada.

There's little variation in the temperature and precipitation from summer to winter in Hawai'i, so it's never really the wrong season... unless you want to ride/see the really big surf off Oahu's North Shore. Then, you go in winter.

Its the Regatta opperated by Ocenaic Cruises. A luxury cruise ship, very duiffernt to my previous 2 star ships.

While the climate doesnt change Mikey its the wrong season for ships. In Summer they do Alaska and Med while in winter they do Carabian and Hawaii and asia.

Now I see. Wrong season for you to head that way, not the wrong season to visit.

I sometimes hate being so observant.

At the lounge I hang out in at college there's a friend of mine, who was wearing a bandanna on her arm, which for her isn't all that strange. However she's been having an overly stressful week about something, presumably family related based on her wanting to be out of the house. She also has previously been very depressed, and used cutting as a coping mechanism. And I saw some fairly fresh scars on her upper arm, which is an ideal place for cutters to cut, and kinda put all of it together.

As I said, hate being observant, although it's not all that hard to put that together, it was the fact that I actively was trying to figure it all out, it wasn't just passively noticing things and eventually putting the pieces together, it was like 5 minutes of watching the arm with the bandanna on it.

I need a new hobby, one that doesn't involve worrying about everyone else, it's too stressful...

Around here, I'd be just as worried about the habit of wearing a bandana on her arm. Wearing colors in my neck of the woods can get you hurt a lot faster - and worse - than habitual cutting.

Wasn't colors, it was a black bandanna. And it's not a habit of wearing a bandanna, but other things, usually cutoff gloves. Plus she doesn't walk the streets.

Almost Holmes-ish there, Nick.

Have fun, Teaos!

And more snow tomorrow. I ahve to go killify Old Man Winter. *Hefts chainsword* Back in a bit.
