I Am an Awful Person

Shortly after I told the rest of the cast about Law and Order Guy, Sue was able to observe him in action at the gym. She came back with the theory that he wasn't a creepy stalker, but mentally handicapped. This was later confirmed by watching him Saturday afternoon at the gym where he interviewed every single woman working out. My guess is that his questions were part of an exercise given to him to help him with his social skills, as he had the same list of getting-to-know-you questions that he asked each person (their name, where they were from, how long their trip back home would be, was this their first cruise and how it compared to other cruises if it wasn't, would it be hard to readjust to normal life after a week on the cruise). Many people were understandably reluctant to reveal exactly where they were from but he would persist until he got a specific town name (“Yeah, but where in the Darien area? Near Foxwood's?”) The benefit of so much pointed questioning was that I was able to find out the story of some of the passengers who I had seen a lot over the week. For example, the compactly-built woman who we would see running laps every night at eleven revealed herself to be a personal trainer from Staten Island after some gentle prodding from LOG. So I would like to take this moment to apologize to LOG for thinking he was a serial killer and hope that he enjoyed his time on the ship.
