| okay, fine, i'll write about camp!! everyone else is... so. i rode up with mr. shaull in this HUGE white truck...i mean HUGE. it was like half of a minivan in 2 seats. my mom was glad that it was that big though...apparently he drives like a madman. personally, i think he's a fine driver. didn't bother me one bit. and it actually wasn't very awkward! made it to camp like 2 mins before the bus. all the mainstreeters were waiting there and waving...lol. so acacia comes up to me when we're all trying to find cabins and is like 'hey, are you jeff's girlfriend?' in her little perky way. it was pretty funny. i looked at molly and smiled and said 'yes.' *shrugs* well, you've gotta meet people somehow. lol. second memorable quote of the day. whoever was sitting next to me turns to me and asks 'is debbie your mom?' yeah. woooahhh there. just to clarify, since apparently she LOOKS like me, DEBBIE IS NOT MY MOM!!! she may consider herself my 'second mother' but in no way to i consider her a maternal figure in my life. no no no. sorry for the misconceptions. no. NO. well, i've gotta be honest. i was a little overwhelmed at first. lots of music. lots of people A TON better than me. but hey, we sound good! and the music's BEAUTIFUL!! *sigh* and that's really all that matters. that we can make beautiful music. okay i've gotta cut in here that i am SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED to improve my voice!! i've got a voice lesson on thursday with my new teacher! weeeeeeeeeeee!! *does a little dance* oh yeah...oh yeah...i'll get better...i'll get better... so we sang for a while...sang with just girls for a while...waited while the guys sang for a while...sang together more...ate...sang more... although it wasn't quite like marching band camp, i think we bonded a little. a very small amount compared to marching band camp, but still... i learned about jeff's fondness for brooms...lol...and first words...hahaha this was great. jeff's first word: beef kylie's first word: fuck LOL!! met some very cool people. elspeth is like the most admirable person ever. michelle (the one from my french class) is really really nice!! (not to say that michelle montoya isn't, it's just that i've known that for a while now...YOU'LL TOTALLY MAKE G21, MICHELLE! I LOVE YOU!) kylie and shannon are...well...eager to molest jeff. kylie...thought it would be fun to 3 way make out with me and jeff and said something like 'well i know I wouldn't like it if i was chained naked to a bed and bugs were crawling all over me'. yeah... i hate to say it, but the murder mystery WAS kind of lame. it might have been cooler with the lights dimmed and a smaller group of people confined to a smaller space. and a group of people who can all read. (for the most part, reading wasn't an issue...) Thomas Shafer can really act...and so can this other person from my french class's sister!! they transferred from pinewood, and by this one girl's acting you can SO tell. she was really nice too. very smart. the hike was...pretty. it was nice to get up and do something besides sit and sing, i guess. the dance was pretty stupid...except for one thing...*drool* LOL. omg! nat needs to get a hold of himself. he's so freaking flirty!! HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. and ya know what, I SET THEM UP TO GO TO HOMECOMING TOGETHER TOO!! i can't stand guys like that. actually, i can. i can't stand guys that are actually ATTRACTIVE who are shameless flirts. i don't really care as much about the ones i don't fall for. but really...get a grip. so we had on the same sweatshirt...woohoo. big deal. let's forget about it and MOVE ON, shall we? lunch was great. sat with molly :0D (molly deserves a big grin because she's the awesomest ever and my total concert choir buddy!! and btw, i'm not excluding rachel one bit) and elspeth and jeff. we sat...and we sat...and i ate...and we sat...and we waited for food...and we talked about disgusting stories about Cody (jeff's dog) and ummm i squished molly by leaning on her and being tired and umm...yeah. sang more, then left. oh, and the girls worked on a song for the guys and vice versa. we spent like 10 minutes on ours because no one fro Girls 21 had the piece with them so we spent more than half of our time getting into groups so that we could all see the music. ugh. oh well. it was a cute idea. the music is just GORGEOUS. i cannot get over it!! molly made a great comment about the hebrew song that even though you don't know what you're saying, in a way, you do. it's just one of those songs. it's so passionate. it's wonderful. yes, filled with wonder. i sat in the most quiet, contented thoughtfulness that i have felt in a long time on the bus ride home. i couldn't take my eyes off the sky. it was the most beautiful shade of blue. full of hope, satisfaction, and new beginnings. i thought about a lot of things, and let my mind rest and float away until there was nothing more than just being to worry about. it was a great feeling. went strait to my clarinet lesson after that. played on my new mouthpiece for the first time in a lesson. i don't mean to brag, but seriously, i sounded FANTASTIC! and i was so concentrated in the musicality of it all that i was just amazed with what i could do. for not being prepared for a lesson, i got through a lot of things. then onto church choir. got yelled at by annie for not being in church to sing (leaving her all alone on the alto part...see how i feel?? huh???) AND not going on the snow trip. she'll be the only girl and has to share a room with lyn. HAHAHA. i mean...wow...i'm sorry...that's gonna really suck... discussed faith vs. truth in youth group. (yes, i know i'm repeating some of what i said in my last entry.) did some very serious thinking. intense thinking can provoke such epiphany...it's really quite amazing. i'm still inspired to get a group together to just sit and think together. well, i mean, discuss together, but it really has more to do with the thought. there's so much to discover. well anyway, today i had a productive morning. got up, washed my hair, and sat down and did about an hour of biology homework. then i edited some of my english writing, played clarinet for about an hour, and then read about 60 pages. i still have a ton of bio to do, but i think i'll manage. i spent the latter half of my day looking at random eeyore stuff and cell phone covers on e-bay, and watching american idol and my big fat obnoxious fiancee. american idol was great!! we can gossip about that at school...should be fun! btw, my cell phone says that i missed a call at 2:49 pm, but it doesn't say what day. and it was from ali's cell. that doesn't mean anything! i don't even know what day it was!! oh well, whatever. i really don't know anything about my cell phone. i mean, i forgot how to check the messages the other day... |
