Entries this day: AM Day_2 evening

AM

2:06 am 23-7-01

Roving was fun; I think we found 2 people kissing, but I wasn't 100% sure. They quit when I nudged them with my foot.

Right now Noah, Scottie, Allie, Joey, Jasper, Hilly are munching 3D barbecue doritos, and Jasper got 10 in his mouth and Noah got 12, and Scottie got 4. Now I'll try.

I got 11, but then I started to gag as one was going down my throat unchewed. I chomped and forced it down; it broke on the way down.

What amazing lead-by-example skills...

3:46 am

We just roved throuogh the camp again, and have woken up the next rovers. I'm going to bed bed bed.

Day 2

23 July 2001

Walking toward opening circle I ate the 3 Oreo cookies off the ground that Bryn and Vessy so carelessly left. When I caught up with them at the circle, Bryn offered me some. I was pleased to be able to say, 'I just had three.'

11:13 am

Sang in the shower.

Oh, I'm takin' a shower for the first time in two days..
It feels oh so good in so many ways
I'm washin' my back and washin' my legs.
I'm gonna go get me some eggs

etc.

Got breakfast which was pancakes, not eggs, and have been chillin' with Tina P, including through the theme speaker, Anita, who makes art.

Intermission now for touchgroup meetings.

3:04 pm

Did the Anita Workshop - art with ink and cloth and stuff. Very fun. Mark's Peter is playing kickball. I'm chillin on TinaP's sheet with TP and Kate.

3:11 pm

AJ just tried to climb the backstop, but the top of it is so rotted that it just splintered when he climbed the fence.

Then he scooped up the pitch, and started chasing Michael A off the field in a most amusing, inappropriate way.

Mostly it was funnier than inappropriate.

6:24 pm

Went swimming after kickball, and played Marco Polo. I was It and the group went underneath the dock. I was all 'Marco!' bonk and the 'Marblublubblub' as I went underwater. Funny.

Chickenfought with David Johnston on my shoulders and beat two other teams. One of them was a rematch. I think Tanner and Adam as a team. The other was Katie Lerner and Ashley Powell.

Just in the past two hours I finished a little round pillow with a peace symbol printed on it. Gave it to Ann, our cook, as a pin cushion. Then made a dream catcher and Tina P was all, 'nononononono you're doing it wrong!' and showed me how to do it. I picked up some of her hints, but added my own style and put it in her mail bag.

Touchgroup meetings now.

7:31 pm

Agony meeting about money. We are all crowded into the dining hall. I am sitting on the floor near the mailbags, with the fan blowing on me.

Dangit; we just had to turn off the fan because we couldn't hear.

Someone stole some stuff.

The SWUUSI staff did a great job of expressing how important this community is, and how anti cool it is to steal money.

evening

8:44 pm 23 July 2001

Stood with Joana in a super incredibly long long long line for dinner. (Okay, not that long, but I'm harassing Bryn.) We munched and she told me more Germany stories - everyone smokes there (even have smoking areas in the high schools), and they stay up way late even on school nights, because school is only from 8am to 1pm.

Stood around outside and talked randomly and to random people who walked by. I declined playing Capture the Flag. My feet are too sore to want to play.

10:48 pm

We just played a spontaneous game of Silent Football, with Bryn as Madam Dictator. The game was great fun with Bryn's smiley rules. 'Everyone must smile :-)' and we named the universe 'Shiny Happy People Holding Hands'

Anyone who Zoomed a Zoom Zoom had to do jump shake your booty dance as the rest of the group clapped and chanted the song.

Elizabeth Severence lost. I intentionally was picking on her (to speed up the game cause we were late for touchgroups), and then she and I were back and forth with the football and Danny called us on it and we each got 1/2 point, increasing her score to 5 and my score to 4.5

We are in touchgroup are now playing Ceiling Wall Floor, and taunting Mr Sexton, Mr Nathan Sexton. (That was his name in Silent Football.)

As I wrote this entry, I just pulled an "I'm not playing" after the locations were given. I love that.

Actually, more than one person has no fucking idea how to play. ;-)

Ceiling Wall Floor is a sick sick game. :-)

11:22 pm

There has apparently been a crisis; we are about to have an agony meeting.

Someone went into the wrong gender bathroom looking for someone else of the equally wrong gender.

3:10 am 24 July 2001

just finished roving; my & Pat's specific responsibilities for the week are over. Goodnight
