wow. so this past week was sr high. i found out sunday night that i
would be counseling. if i had wanted i could have been a camper but
there i was being a counselor.
as i laid in bed on sunday night i was a little worried as to how the
week would go, but throughout the week God helped me out by giving me a
great co-counselor (except for one thing i will tell you about later)
and a great group of guys in my cabin (one of the boys who was going to
be in my cabin was older than i was, they moved him to a different
cabin on monday morning)
as the campers arrived on monday morning i knew all of mine from
previous years. they are cool guys and i am glad that i got the
oprutunity to be their guide for the week. then we got our teams. the
teams are made up of two cabins a boys cabin and a girls cabin (one
team had 2 girls cabins cause there were 6 cabins for girls and 4 boys)
our team was the divers. we had the best team flag by far, also by far
we had the worst team cheer.
the week went really great. but our cabin constantly reeked of AXE body
spray. i kept telling the boys to use a little less. it never worked.
wednesday i got handed chris camera and i wanted to see how any
pictures i could take. it was really slow but i managed to take 697
pictures in like 2 hours. that was funny. i got some good ones even
wednesday was the pie auction, all the proceeds go to the scholarship
fund to help people who can't afford to come to camp. i paid $116 to
pie raechel kemp. she paid $76 to pie me. then if the totals of all the
pies and offering for the week reached certain goals the campers got to
do certain things. $1000 shave pauls head $2000 joe would get shot with
a paint ball gun $3000 i shave my head $4000 uncle bob would get pied
in the face. the campers raised about 4300 so they got all the rewards.
friday when i woke up my hair was 8 inches long. friday afternoon it
became 1/4 inch long. my head is cold.
i survived the
SHAVE
SHOOT
SHAVE
AND PIE
thursday morning our cabin voted unanamously to not clean the cabin
during cabin cleanup time and work on our skit for the night. thus at
cabin of the day time at lunch we came in last with -28 points for how
clean our cabin was. oh yeah. charlie said that it was a pit and that
we "messed it up really bad" really we didn't. we just didn't clean.
thursday night was skit night. it was a little late getting started so
my cabin started singing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey
goodbye" we sang it for about twenty minutes. then some song battle
erupted with each side trying to get their song to be louder. the side
i was on, singing good songs, had about a quarter of the people and we
were still louder. we were acctually singing too the other side was
yelling. yay for us.
then i went up to tell a story as marrisia was trying to play the quiet
game. i grabbed the mic and said "so i have a story to tell you" and
the crowd went ballistic. it was great. then i started telling the
penguin joke and jill came up and bit me. hard. really hard.
then it was about time to get started. my cabin took first place. great
work guys. that earned us more than enough points to make up for the
-28. skit night got done at like 1:30. stinker
friday morning our alarms didn't go off and jon came and woke our cabin
up at 8:41 eleven minutes alte for breakfast. yeah then we slept though
cabin cleanup and cabin activity too.
then on friday then yesterday i went into the cabin for bible study and it just reeked of axe.
really realy bad. my eyes started watering. so we had bible study outside.
friday at chapel i gave my testimony. since i was going to talk about
graduating i told them right at the begining "i'm 18" later after the
campfire a girl named Ky came up to me and said "you're really 18, i
though you were at least like 28"
then at night time i found out that it reeked of axe because the boys
sprayed it all over my bed and pillow. my pillow was wet that is how
much was on there. yeah . gross.
and without my knowledge my co-counsleor told all the kids in our
cabin to not listen when i told them to be quiet and just to keep
talking as long as they could. everynight i had to tell them to
shut up and go to bed so the last night he wanted to see what i would
do if they wouldn't. i don't really care. i would have thought it
was funny if it weren't to me.
last night i went to a masquerade ball. it was pretty sweet. would have
been sweeter if i were allowed to dance. northwestern college had me
sign a thing saying that i can't drink smoke or dance. all three i am
fine without.
anyway i had to make a mask before i went so first i tried out of
cardboard. yea that didn't work. they iwent to walmart to find those
cheep plastic ones. couldn't find them. but i found some craft foam
that had sticky on one side so i made some masks out of that (i was not
sure how long it would stay on so i made 3) i made them on the car ride
there. if you ever want to be really nervous try cutting things in your
lap with an exactoknife on a gravel road and over railroad tracks. yeah
scary. but the mask held good for almost 4 hours. i took it off when i
left and it was still pretty sticky. i wanna try were one in the pool
cause i have two left now.
got some really sweet pictures i will post some later. i also have the
best picture of me ever to put up. seriously the picture makes me look
"dead sexy"
everyone remember, "being sexy doesn't mean you have to have sex"
today was church and then bumming around at home. don't have to be back
untill noon tomorrow. i have two weeks left at camp and i have some
catching up to do in the mail game. sams family went to georgia and so
he is 16 points ahead. anything you can do to help would be wonderful.
sarah smithson sent me the best package ever. see if you can send a
cooler one. i son't know if it is possible

ANSWER: h for hunk emily gets 100 points for getting the letter right and -101 for calling me fat.
QUESTION: what did i watch today (here is a hint i got it from netflix)
In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme
Well the hint about Netflix narrows down the choices to only 30,000 - 40,000 titles. Since the 1950s _War of the Worlds_ isn't available on DVD through them, it can't be that one....
ReplyDeleteDidn't recognize you with the new "doo" at Mexican Village today. Nice to read the rest of the story.
so............senior high was fun. and ax is cool. cept when it makes your pillow soaking wet. then its prob not too cool
ReplyDeletelevi
sorry for biting you...but i had no choice
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure my team's cheer was dumber.God Bless,Brady
ReplyDeletePlagarism? I guess you're right, actually. I checked, and I didn't tell that I copied it from Fransico's money speech from Atlas Shrugged, my favorite book. I thought I did. I'll go add that in.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I did not take out the quotation marks or "Fransico said." I saw her say something about how money was evil, and i remembered the speech in my favorite book. I did a search for it, and I got a copied excert.
ReplyDeleteSerously, how much paragraphs was that? I didn't think anyone would actually think that I wrote that. 1. I don't have that attention span. 2. Why would I write that much to some random girl on the internet? 3. I'm not as smart as Ayn Rand.Why would I even attempt to plagarise one of the most read authors? Most people had to read The Fountainhead and Anthem in school. Atlas Shrugged is her best book, you'd have to be very stupid to try to steal that speech without anyone calling you one it.
ReplyDeletethat's a cool switch, from camper to counselor. I did that on a canoe trip two weeks ago, since I'm 18 and can't be a boy scout anymore.
ReplyDeletei have a lot to say about this here post. you had an awesome cabin. i've been going to camp with those guys since...forever. i love them. if you had the best team flag, then why did we win? our team flag AND our team cheer dominated all, thank you very much. i had some pretty sweet swimming skills. that's funny because last year your cabin did the same thing. they didn't clean their cabin just to rebel, therefore they didn't get lunch and they had to clean instead. let me tell you, canteen was good that day. your side, was not louder. thank you very much. we killed you. i mean we're girls, what do you expect? when you started telling the penguin joke, i thought i was going to die. your skit was neato. i used to think you were like 28 and that was a lot of years ago. haha. your guys told me they were going to do that whole axe thing before they did it, i laughed. i want to come back. i'm dying. gooo sam! you're going to lose thomas, give it up. -courtney
ReplyDeletesleeping through everything.and the whole axe thing.and friday night really really late. that was pretty much hilarious.i think the best part was when michael started yelling insanely when jake's alarm went off at like 7 pm and he threw it outside.
ReplyDeletewow, long.Sam
ReplyDeleteThat was freakishly long impressive. SO I'm excited that you still have camp because I was feeling bad that I hadn't gotten my package in the mail yet. YAY!!! Andy
ReplyDeleteWHEW! My sides ached from laughing so hard. Did you seriously shave your head?! I coudln't get that over my head! Post a picture or something! I want to see it!!!!!!! Wow. I can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ky, because I honsetly thought you were OOOOLLLLDDDEEEEERRRR than I am. I found out that you're THE SAME age as I am when Jared told me at Districts in Fargo. I nearly peed my pants. Yep. Shock.
Have a goooorgeous day!
Chelsea!
Wow, that is a long entry. And I read it all, wow. Wow.
ReplyDeleteHey Kvamme - saw you posted on my site, thought i'd post ya back. I think your entry beats mine by far. haha Well - later - Hannah
ReplyDeleteHey there! So, what would you like in your package? It's gotta be something not expensive, not big, and not heavy but other than that whatever you want. Tell me on my xanga. How is the mail race coming? Last time I checked Sam was smoking you! LOL! Senior High was the coolest! LOL! Ni nightz.
ReplyDeleteYour sis in Christ...Heidi
O c'mon Brady...Our cheer ROCKED!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that my team's cheer was bad, too. Yeah, your entry was like a book. Nice, though.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
