don't talk to me if yo breath stank.


Oh man... I sit here, writing this blog, thinking about how much I freakin miss Andrew Shirley and Patrick Patterson. I would like to just say that the two men pictured above may be two of the coolest guys I have ever encountered. And I would do about anything for them to stay at camp for the rest of the summer. So... there is my shoutout to those studs. I can't wait to hang out with them in the Spring. Oh snap. Buuut... ok, so the last time I posted was Thursday, which means I have to talk about that day. It was a rough day in terms of having the worst OA I have ever been a part of. But whatever. That has come and gone. I would much rather talk about the incredibly inept Coke truck driver who got himself stuck at camp for TWO HOURS! He ran his truck into one of our power poles and almost knocked it down, and then was stuck. We had to call a tow truck, which pulled him out after a while. And then, this master of the road got his truck stuck AGAIN. I feel as though everyone is aware of the way I feel about people who can't do their jobs. My eyes contained so much disdain for this man that I am surprised his truck didn't get itself unstuck just so I would stop looking at it. Seriously, we get Coke dropped off at camp like every week and nothing like this ever happens. I mean, honestly... this man's JOB... what he DOES FOR A LIVING... is to drive a truck. And he got it stuck... twice. I mean, are you freakin KIDDING me? It was just painful to watch. I mean, I feel a little bad for him, because I know he was really embarassed. But, whatever. It made me angry... and laugh. Also, David Weaver came to visit camp later that afternoon which was amazing because everychild just looked at him like he was an alien. We don't have very many black people here, let alone those who are 6'10". So that made me laugh. Then like 30 kids asked him for an autograph. I was crackin up. That night was tribal fires, and it did nothing but made me sad because the SALT guys were leaving. After Taps that night, we had a surprise Luau for the SALT guys in Roger's Retreat. It was amazing because the entire staff was there eating BBQ, watermelon, drinking soda, and dancing to (edited) rap music. At one point, someone played "Since U Been Gone" and the entire staff of 60 males was jumping up and down singing every word. Priceless. That night was phenomenal. (Sidenote: Speaking of Kelly Clarkson, a friend of a friend gave 4 of us FREE tickets in the first 20 rows to go see Kelly in Charlotte on July 4. You have no idea how excited I am.) The next day was Closing Day... and let me just tell you that it made me incredibly happy to know that I was going to have some time off. Me and 4 other people went home to Concord where we ate, slept, and watched Madea... the three essentials of life. I got to hang with Graeme in Charlotte, which was awesome. It makes me sad that I will just be out of the country for 3 months and not see anyone. Today was Opening Day. It was boring. But the children we have this two weeks are crazy, so I can't wait to tell you about the insanity that is about to take place. Ladies and gentlemen, buckle your seatbelts.
