People Are Good


I just arrived home from vacation. It was an all gay cruise on the biggest cruise ship in the world and it was probably one of the most fun trips I have ever taken, we absolutely had the time of our lives. One thing happened during the cruise that bummed me out, similar to what I had done on a previous cruise (minus the cameltoe factor), I had hung a camera on my cabin door for people to take photos of whatever inspired them. Just a few days into the cruise the camera had almost all of its 27 photos used up, I was excited that people were using it and looking forward to seeing them developed.

Late one boozy night I arrived back at my cabin with my cruise husband David (AKA: Vacation boyfriend for the week) to find my camera gone. Someone had cut the string and just left it hanging there with no camera. I think pretty much everyone knows how it feels when you have been a victim of theft for vandalism…it sucks. But usually being a victim of such crimes in San Francisco I can just chalk up to city living and get on with my live. One of the great things about these gay cruises is the ability for just a week for us to create an environment onboard where the regular things that are shitty about life just don’t exist. I was just so upset that someone would take my camera, especially something that had absolutely no value to anyone else and spoiled my fun. Still bummed out about it the next day I just decided to take down my door art and the frayed string with no camera. My door would just remain boring and undecorated for the remainder of the trip.

The last night of my cruise David and I headed back to my cabin exhausted and ready for bed. When I arrived at my cabin there was a package of developed photos taped to the door with a note that said: “To the Photo Booth Guys, We took your camera and developed the photos for you. Enjoy!”
