Things One Must Accomplish At Camp

I was sitting in my room, completely and UTTERLY bored when I decided to make a list of things I had to do at camp in the coming week. I probably should be packing for the almost ten day excursion but I'm making lists instead. How typical of me.

  1. See Vito
  2. See Nicole
  3. See Taylor
  4. See Shannon
  5. See Elizabeth
  6. See Joseph
  7. Make a lot of new friends
  8. Try to win CABIN OF THE WEEK (which shall win our cabin a party on a boat on the last night. with ice cream. We've never won but I'm hoping to this year.)
  9. At least place in competition (the reason we go to this camp is because my church goes each year to compete in the competitions that take place there. I have a poetry entry, a short story entry, a web site entry, and I'm hoping to place in one of them.)
  10. Become well known as the crazy kid with the hats (My friend and I have a reputation to maintain.)
  11. Don't spend all my money
  12. Do a meal time challenge (they range from impersonating batman to making an all air instrument band (meaning air guitar, air piano, air tuba...) to eating a whole can of mayo. Once I had to suck jello out from under nacho cheese and spit it into another bowl...lets just say I can't touch either food anymore without getting sick.)
  13. Memorize the program guys names (the guys who run meal time challenges. they're usually attractive as well.)
  14. Encourage my sense of daring (as the Dove Chocolate wrapper told me too...)
  15. Eat food from the Snack Shack. (Which shan't be hard)
  16. Chill at the cliff face. (beautiful.)
  17. Avoid camp romances again. (I have enough I'm trying to deal with at home. I don't need more of that drama.)
  18. Do not stalk anyone. (You...probably don't want to know.)
  19. Play paintball (Oh yessss...)
  20. Hang out with the guys from my church and their cabin
  21. Avoid sport tournaments
  22. Dress out everyday (We have special days. Like grandma day, what you want to be when you grow up day, and my personal favorite...NERD DAY)
  23. Document everything (already working on that)
  24. Go tubing
  25. Do something epic in the motel on the way up (this camp is in New York and it takes us two days to get there. This year, we are stopping at a motel. The last time we did that the girls room got stalked by a man. Not a man from our group by the way. A stranger. I'm sort of scared.)
  26. Don't die.
  27. Get inspiration for my book. (Pleeeease. God, pleeeease.)
  28. Learn about God and grow closer to Him through the knowledge I'll hopefully gain.
  29. Listen in Bible Hour
  30. Have fun during EVERYTHING
  31. Talk to the mean, blond girl. (she's known me since my first year there. We've never spoken, but there is an unsaid anger between us. She glares at me every time she sees me. I have no idea why. I intend to find out.)
  32. Prank call on the pay phone. (I plan to prank call my guy friends. Lexander, if your reading this...um...ha ha...prepare yourself.)
  33. Sing Veggie Tales songs the loudest I can with my best friend
  34. Stage an epic light saber battle. (Yes. You heard me correctly.)
  35. Volunteer for the magic show again.
  36. Do something crazy and insane everyday.
  37. Prank someone...not including the phone call.
  38. Bribe Bless the people who judge the cleanliness of our cabin with food.
  39. Wear my fedora every day.
  40. Hand out at the Pub whenever it's open. (Its not really a Pub. We just call it that. Its the coffee shop.)
  41. Make every day more awesome. (Basically...D.F.T.B.A.)
So that's what I plan to do. No you see why I am so excited. I'll be leaving in two days. Stay Safe. Stay Strong. Stay with Jesus.

Till Spider-man looses his spider sense...oh wait,

Adeline

P.S.

By the way, quite recently Spider-man did loose his spider sense. Just so everyone understands that. But don't worry. I do intend to write again.

Greetings!

Reader, if you've somehow managed to find yourself here inside this blog, then you'll have the most agonizing torment known to mankind befall you. You'll meet me.

Hi! I'm Adeline Taylor. I'm old enough to drive but young enough to still run around like a crazy person and just have people roll their eyes at me. That's right. I'm a teenager. I'm not your average teenage girl though. You'd probably expect me to start talking about chick flicks and clothes right about now...but that's hopefully never going to happen.

I'd rather read then go shopping.

I'd rather write then talk to my friends.

I'd rather go to a comic book store then hang out.

I'd rather climb trees then talk.

I'd rather hang out with a table full of crazy guys then listen to a bunch of girls whine about drama. (I have enough drama by myself, I don't need to discuss it with hormonal, irritated girls who probably just want to talk about boys anyway.)

So this is where I come to rant, write, and talk. RWT. Sounds kind of catchy actually. I guess you'll hear more from me later. I'm going to try to update every week on Wednesday. I hope you enjoy reading and I'll speak to you all in a weeks. I'll be spending a week in New York. Come Friday I'll be gone. So in almost two weeks I shall report what has occurred. Stay safe. Serve God.

Don't forget to be awesome,

Adeline Taylor
