How to lose sleep

Tonight, right before bed, I decided to watch a particularly creepy episode of Dateline about a murder on a cruise ship. Now I can't sleep. So naturally I decided to Google "cruise ship deaths." Most involve people jumping overboard, but of course the creepiest one I read about happened on the only cruise ship I've ever been on (about 9 months before I boarded.) I'll spare the details in case you were planning on sleeping tonight. But I can rest a little easier knowing there was no way the murder happened in my cabin. (I was in an ocean view, this one was interior.)

One benefit of my insomnia is that I've come up with some foolproof ways to avoid being killed on a cruise:

1. Don't drink
2. Don't make "friends"

I watched that same show at the same time! For some reason I wasn't that scared about it, maybe because I've never been on a cruise. Well, I was scared about the blood on the awning, and then at the end when you could see his hand print where he was HANGING ON. I don't get why he wasn't just with his wife the whole time, since it was their honeymoon and all. Does she feel fine about the fact that she was passed out drunk in a hallway (supposedly) when her husband got thrown overboard? Dateline always leaves me with more questions than it answers.
