Quaker Camp! Tokay, so i went to quaker camp once more. Along with me came Canadian Kate. We drove up there and were 3 hours early for registration so we sat ourselves in the grass and waited. There were also two others, Seth and Muffin who were rather early too because they had hitched a ride from a counselor. so we four sat in the grass, Kaite drew a zombie squirrel and Seth played his guitar. In this time we also renamed Muffin to Professor Muff-Muff, which is way more classy if you ask me. So then we registered and moved into our cabin, cabin 4. We then that night met with our 'family group'. which was our cabin and cabin 8. and we were given the task to create a superhero, that was the theme of the camp i guess. and so we created Run Away from Danger Lass and she was pretty much created by me and Katie because not many other people were giving ideas. But yeah...
Me and Kaite were somewhat loners until the first night game. This game was played as everyone was divided in half then half were 'injured' (they were given an ailment, it was either broken leg/legs, broken arm, broken neck, or broken back.) Then everyone else were heroes and the heroes have to pick up/ help those who are injured back to the chapel. i carried two males back with broken necks. 8] Then they had everyone switch roles. I got a broken neck and Katie had a broken back but we ran to the farthest point possible. And so this small kid came and attempted to carry me back, he was pretty strong for his size i must say. Then the game ended before we got to the chapel so he didn't get any points anyway but i introduced myself and he introduced himself. and so then at Canteen time we talked with him and it turned out that he was a stereotypical goth kid. i mean really he was. He strongly believes that he is going to be an animator and move to japan and he was in a band called Hell's Gate Opens. But he left that because he has other greater ambitions. He also claims to know how to speak Japanese but he really doesn't know all that much. He also told us all about how he loves the show Naruto and his favorite character is Garaa and he can do a good impression of him (he did it but i really couldn't tell you if its good because i don't watch it on Cartoon Network). He also informed us about all the name meanings in Inuyasha. Oh and why theres so many foxes in anime, they are sacred in japan. And some other stuff i choose not to remember. But after we left him we couldn't help but laugh, i kinda felt like a total b***h but i mean i found this rather hysterical.
So then we started hanging out with him because we really had nothing better to do. We found out that he can't take a joke. He took everything literally and he had some sort of a superiority complex. Oh by the way this kid's name is Alvin David Diece, he wanted us to call him Grim because he wants to be the grim reaper of course. So Katie and I called him Graham or Algernon. That night we played capture the flag. I almost participated but then ended up standing with Professor Muff-Muff and chatting about this and that.
Then the next day during morning recreation we were playing angle ball and i kinda just stood on a rock. Anyone of my team mates could have passed it to me since no one was ever guarding me... but they never did so i went and sat down next to Amy who was sitting out of the game because she had hurt her foot in the capture the flag game. Amy turned out to be a lot like me. Like it was kinda scary how much we would think alike. Like when Graham was wearing his ridiculous Hot topic goth pants i zipped up one of his legs and left the other one open and she was like 'omg i wanted to do that too!' and various other things.
So one time during free time Katie, Amy and I got into a golf cart and drove it in a circle and parked it backwards. We later were told that we should never do that again by Aaron (one of the counselors) but then the camp director later asked us in the food line if we did and he said that he just laughed when he heard about it. which made me not feel so bad about being in trouble if i got the camp director to laugh about it.
Me and Katie during the last Chapel decided to climb out the window in the girls bathroom just because we could and so we did. We got out and scampered on the sidewalk there then went back in. Twas delightful.
After chapel they decided that we were going to do a prayer labyrinth...thing. They had us follow this little booklet that had us throw rocks in a barrel of water, watch a power point about distractions then go into the 'holy space' which was the basement of the dining hall that had candles all over and some pillows. Kaite though it was more like a love palace than a holy space... then we went and looked at a mirror that had random passages on it then we walked back towards the girl cabins and they had us thumb print a poster. i drew a face instead. then we were to go back to our cabins and write a letter about our experience and they are to mail it to us a month or so from now. i can't wait till i get that back. xD
Then it started to storm. Like really bad. but it was pretty sweet since i wasn't on any second story. ;D While we were waiting for the storm to let up. Hanna (a girl in my cabin) told us about this boy she dated and how it sucked. then my counselor told us about her dating her best friend bad experience. When it let up a little they had us go down to canteen (candy store basically) which is in the basement of the dining hall. They then decided they were gonna move us all up to the QAC (quaker haven activity center) by car or golf cart. so we could play dodgeball. When we got up there Amy, Kaite, Professor Muff-Muff, Chef (hes muff muff's best buddy), Some other lady and I played uno. We also found out that there was a tornado warning. neat.
I carried around with me a duck, that was a bubble blower. And so when i got bored i would blow them. And i would sometimes blow them in chapel while we were sitting there doing nothing, like waiting for something to happen. and one lady told me that it was disrespectful. I really can see that it would be if i had been blowing them during the sermon but i wasn't. i was just blowing them when we were just sitting there. D:
Kaite put makeup on me one night, and it didn't look too bad i must say. though i was rather good at rubbing it off. and it happened that night that it was the concert night for the guy who had been singing all week. but yeah his band was okay i suppose. not really my cup of tea i must say...
One night there was a talent show. and there really wasn't all that much talent. one of the acts was all these counselors advertising Barkly college. another was cabin six just dancing to a cd. i mean thats really all they had a cd and they would dance change the song, dance, change the song, dance. it went on for like 15 mins. D: muff muff, chef and some other peoples had a skit that was like noah's ark meets jerry springer which would be amazing probably but it ended up being cut because those two acts too forever D:<
After the talent show they had us go and play this game where it was boys against girls, there were sides and on each side there was a bucket. The object of the game was to take these paper slips onto the opposing side and put it in their bucket. then if someone tagged you you had to stop where you were. i decided it would be fun to partake in this game for some reason. so i kinda just walked over on the boys side and i didnt get chased till i was like maybe 3 feet from the bucket. but i made it over anyway. then i just walked back i did get tagged but i just kept walking anyway. Then i found professor muff muff and i was just standing there. then i heard 'boy!' which means that someone wanted him to be tagged i guess so i just kinda looked around and was like 'wut?' and then BAM! small goth child head plows into my face. then i tasted blood and was like. alright I'm bleeding.... damn that hurts. so then i walked over to the counselor lady and she then had me escorted to the nurse where i got a thing of ice.
Yeah so i think thats most everything eventful... Katie, am i missing anything?
Well heres pictures...
