I just finished reading Priestess of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It wasn't as engaging as Mists of Avalon or Forest House but I enjoy the series. Avalon, Camelot, Roman Empire, right up my alley. Today is my last day of classes though and I'm in dire need of a good fantasy series for the summe...

When I am on the boat I have a lot of nightmares that I'm falling off of it. That happen to anyone else?

That is amazing! Muster drill always feels like such a tease because it's the one thing keeping the party from starting. After muster drill it's like, "I'm free!!" Absolutely how the muster drill feels! In 2012 I ended up hanging out with a rowdy Australian who decided that we could sit i...

Top whatever bands?

Dead Can Dance (you didn't specify metal bands, now, did ya? )

YESSSS!!! DCD are amazing , I especially love their last album it's so beautiful

Dead Can Dance are incredible and absolutely deserve a spot in anyone's top 5. Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard are brilliant.

1. Blind Guardian VS 16.Apocalyptica
5. Chimaria vs 10. Xentrix
6.Threshold vs 12. Origin
4. Heathen vs 13. Rumpelkombo

7. Annihilator vs 11. In Extremo

2. Arch Enemy vs 15. Cannibal Corpse

had a cruise nightmare last night... it was the first day and we'd left port late so we were goin' fast, and the Atlantic was very choppy and the new boat was bouncing like a smaller boat would on choppy seas at high speeds... we were all rockin' out and the waves kept gettin' bigger and people sta...

Happy birthday Marlo!

he worst part is that you'll rarely enjoy shows out of the boat again. this The first show I went to see after the cruise was Dark Tranquility and I hadn't eaten before the show and for a second I actually thought that I could get pizza in the venue… nope. The post-cruise world is a sad, pizzaless ...

Just don't drink it all on the first night. This is good advice for the cruise in general. PACE YO SELF. So many people go into it raging super hard and end up missing some of the best shows that happen around midnight. Drink water, get *some* sleep. Last year I made a rule of drinking one glass of...

Update- I am still going strong. I have lost 12 lbs and have a personal trainer now. My first session was yesterday and I am sore today. We did my Body fat measurments (BMI- BODY MASS INDEX) and I have 35% fat on my body right now. We are trying to cut that in half. My ultimate goal is to lose 40 m...

Suicide Nation - At The Gates
^Opens with a gun being cocked… not the same… still awesome.

aaand it has turned into an At The Gates morning.

No alcohol packagez How else are they going to makr money out if this? Yep, that's what I was expecting. My friends will not be pleased/might not book, etc. Oh, well. Sucks for them. use rum runners and bring your own booze on! I typically bring 3 liters on in the rum runners with no issue. No alco...

Worst part for me is the "Calvins" of the world. As much as they may be enjoying themselves, they're bound to do something horribly idiotic that effects everybody else's enjoyment of whatever is happening at the time. ^dude, this. I had never experienced this sort of thing onboard 70K unt...

The best thing is the whole experience. Waking up with a wicked hangover and grinning like an idiot in spite of it as you remember the night before. Walking onto the Pool Deck at noon with a coffee in hand, being blinded by the Caribbean sun and deafened by the blaring metal… and suddenly realizing ...

I hate being the one to ask this but, I'll be 20 when we set sail (3 months until 21) and will it be easy for my friend (who will be 22) to get us drinks? I've read all the RC policies and all that, and I realize this cruise will probably be way different than most other RC cruises. So would it be ...

I'll go wherever the party is! Likely won't book hotels until later in the year though and just see where everyone ends up :)

This year was my first metal cruise & I was warned about the PCD while still on board, on the second day. Somehow a complete stranger from the other side of the world could tell I was having too good a time. After having the experience of meeting all you awesome people, I feel like my "reg...

I definitely have PCD but I'm burying myself in other work to cope with it. Compartmentalize life. Try not to cruise.. think… forums… must… focus… school.

That's when Liberty does four night cruises.
She does a two week cycle with 5 night Mon-Sat, 5 night Sat-Thu, 4 night Thu-Mon.

You are all knowing. Also, I am mega-super excited.

None of the new ships have quite the same layout as Majesty. It'll be interesting to see how our Pool Deck turns out!

I for one am excited about The Catacombs, which will clearly be a black metal bar, haha.

My bar tab was the most I've ever spent also and the least drunk I've ever been $319… so much Starbucks.
Such student, much poor, very bar tab… wow.

Other than that, I think this was my best year so far and I intend to make next year even better :)

IN.

I'm not even going to try to kid myself this year. I'm in, I'm always in… and I will likely always be in.

I know that the lineup is going to be killer next year and I can't miss the maiden voyage of 70K on the Liberty of the Seas. I would never forgive myself.

See you in 2015!

Not to be a bubble burster but he's on the ProgNation cruise so it looks just as unlikely as my wishlist band!

Devin Townsend.

Once again, I would literally cry. All would be forgiven, there would be hugs, and a lot of "I love you man"s.

SAAAAAAAM! Oh man I'm excited. I still haven't really figured out the whole avatar thing yet either, haha.
Super stoked to see ya!!

You just answered one of my oldest and unanswered questions. Dammit.
