Letters from Camp Day 2....
Dear Mom,
IT'S SOOOOOOO GOSH DARN HOT!!!!! I mean its like Abominable Snowman in Pismo Beach Hot(Bugs Bunny reference).
Let me start with the morning. After crawling/stumbling out of bed and being told to shush cause i was too loud....i went outside. A Beautiful summery morning, already humid. My knee hurts from being tangled in an overheated comforter....and rocks and sandals do not mix...so i see there is a line for the shower. Met a few people there from the site. I tell them my real name, no response, tell them my screen name. OMG that's YOU!!! Dude!!! WOW your funny...
Finally my turn to get into the shower, TALK ABOUT FRIGGIN COLD!!! I mean no hot water!!! the kind of water that makes you scream outloud... Sadly there was some shrinkage....Hiked back up the hill and found we had some guests...
We had a tabletop grill so that was put on, a brand new coffeepot(it was sooo cool, its the type of pot they used back on the homestead, including the color) brought down by vegemite it was awesome. Then Asterlee brought down eggs...OMG OMG OMG!!! Eggs, I was dying for eggs and we cooked up some Taylor Ham...mmm delish...they also cooked up some Bacon.
I did learn that, time flies when your cut off from the world, no watch, no emails...nothing...i wandered down to the Camp No Pantsland....Pants were worn during the day so I was safe...Saw a few friends, they had an awesome PIRATE FLAG!!! I am sooo bringing a DECEPTICON FLAG next year or an Imperial Flag....There was talk of going down to the river for a swim....I was game. I brought my activity bag with me and we drove. Apparently we passed through Virgnie and Maryland maybe even parts of West Virginie, the landscape was beautiful and blue skies and rolling hills, I sooo thought of, this Land is your Land, This Land is my Land....Cows and stuff....drove under a train trestle and by the tracks....
We park and walk along the shoulder down to a stone pathway....so narrow, i felt i was in stand by me, the green enbankment looks like it use to be a canal for the river but long since dried up....took another rocky foot path.
I must say this, the Potamac looked sooo much cleaner then the Hudson or the Atlantic Ocean. The others get in, realizing I was not truly dressed at all for this, I had to take off my knee brace, empty all my pockets hiked up my shorts and waded into the water, got to a certain point and then stopped, that was enough....I came back to shore and watched them swim and have fun...I played my DS and jotted down some notes about the environment. We came back and I hung out around the pavilion and the shower area...
Meanwhile, back at Camp NY....bigpoppa99 was grilling some bratwurst and some burgers....It was hot by the grill and the grill wasnt working properly...i mean it was like a shoebox on a tree stump....It sucked. not too mention our firering sucked too...Some people wanted to throw bacon grease on the fire...yeah that's all we needed a fire smelling like Pr0k but didnt happen. So i got lighter fluid(god I love the stuff, love flames going soooo high....) I pulled another Homer and just emptied the bottle over it, as much as i could to get the fire going... I ate a hamburger or too. bigpoppa99 grilled some peaches and cinnamon.. I asked Big oooohhhhh who are the peaches for, can I have one...he said no, going to take them to someone, I was like well...I gotta know who they for, not going to tell...some more poking and prodding and he mentioned the Atlantans Up the way(so named because they were from Atlanta and that state called Geor gia). I was like cool, let's go I wanna see where they are at anyway...he hemmed and hawwwed and i was like fine...didn't want your stinkin peaches anyway...
I ventured up north anyway to go to the communal area and didn't really recognize people up there.... saw my bags of Lays regular and wavy chips up there but never got them....Damn I was feening for them later that night....but I digress...
We were all waiting for the Vegan Potluck and the Wet Tshirt Contest....It is here that my buddy who got my Dark Knight Tickets didnt want to go anymore....now....TDK was the reason I didnt leave Friday to come down....But the tickets could still be gotten. instead, her ticket went to suri I had the CC and the receipt.... The Vegan Potluck started late because of some not getting back from rafting until very late. I was able to grab a Chocolate chip cookie that gadget made OMG...they were heavenly...really really good.
There was a caravan lead by Jamielee to the movie...its funny, i always feel like this, I am sooo shocked when i see civilization outside of NJ/NY...a minimall including a maggiemoos. I think there were 15 or 20 of us waiting online... AIR CONDITIONING WAS AMAZING....SOOOO GOOD...OH SO SO GOOD....plus a cold one was awesome..
Settled in to watch the movie, saw some trailers, Terminator: Salvation. The Watchmen TRAILER WAS AMAZING!!!!! I yelled out HEY!!! THAT'S THE WATCHMEN.... Got a few head turns.....Then the Dark Knight started proper...I was sooooo giddy when watching this film...Seeing the Joker for the first time was awesome....it took me 10minutes to move Mark Hamill as my fave joker out of the way to make Heath the Ultimate Joker...He is the approximation of the comics...the SOCIOPATH...GOD I"D LOVE TO BE THAT FRAKKED UP!!! HE WAS AMAZING....I will just say this, I want to learn the pencil trick...I also laughed at the cruelty in the film....Yes I'm a Frakked up individual.... IT WAS AWESOME!!! GO SEE IT...
So after we lost the caravan going home, luckily i brought the trusty Navcomputer and it got us home...I love that thing.... Went up to the Community area for about 25 minutes but i was tired(either old age or the heat) and walked back down with bigpoppa99 I went to sleep. He went back out...my sleep was interrupted quite a few times I heard talking...some rustling, flashlight in my eyes a few times.... then a LOUD BOOM and THUD and these words, fuck I fell out of bed....the door opened to this: " Are you Alright?" a pause(now mind you i thought i just zoned back out because i was half asleep but it was confirmed the next morning) and this was the response "No." I blacked out again...
So mom, that is my second day of camp. I'll write back soon.
