Silent Football

7:03 am 26 July 2001

just woke up - slept for such a short period down at the end of the road.

10:20 am

Jeruba telling the story of a lion hearing the call of another lion eating a zebra.

"That ole lion was certainly glad to join another lion chewin' on a zebra."

"Man. This is the monkey business!"

2:21 pm

Bryn, Elizabeth, Nathan and I are playing Silent Football. Elizabeth is dictator. She just zoomed a zoom zoom, and then was all, "Customary tip of the hat! customary shroop! Customary we should ignore any errors that I make."

I just tried to take over the dictatorship, cause otherwise I'm pretty much in big trouble here.

hee hee, rob didn't die because vessy is super nice, which is not necessary because rob did lots of stuff wrong. but even if he had beAn awarded penance points, our dictator, vessy, is still bloody losing. silly vessy.

being elite is sometimes just more fun. this may be the last time for a while, so i don't mind a little exclusion in exchange for a lot of memories and smiles. =) love, me

vessy, madame dictator does not like being dictator, i keep messsing up but oh well, i'm still having fun nd that's the point. rob just took 3 pictures of bryn and i trying to drink water, bryn from the 2.5 gallon of ozarka water. interesting.

Bryn schrodemed a shrug, and during the deliberation of such was trying to tell Vessy how much she loved her in sigh language, etc.

Bryn choked on water. It's sad, but she'll be okay.

While Bryn was pouring water on her pants (overflowed the bottle) and I was busy typing, Vessy fwapped, but Bryn and I didn't know to whom it was fwapped and Bryn was drinking water. We think it was to me, but both Bryn and I both fwapped.

She threw up the water she had just drank. "Total waste of my time."

New rule: "No funniness while people are trying to hydrate themselves."

I just got Vessy to shrug. I fwapped with my left hand on the right hand side of me.

3:20 pm

Nathan is dictator now.

Bryn just gurgled a "what?" which sounded like "ggglll?"

Both Bryn and I have both forgotten that Nathan is dictator.

3:32 pm

Vessy just left to take a shower.

3:46 pm

I am so falling asleep.

I think I just got in trouble for missing a shrug.

Game over. We simply quit.

Nathan is a sprinkler.

A sweat sprinkler?

No.

bridging ceremony

4:30pm ish 26 July 2001

We left for the Bridging Ceremony on 3 school buses. About an hour ride.. I talk to Lawren, Bryn, David and then slept most of the way. Move up to the front seat and lay down, with my legs stretched over the aisle. Nice bed.

7:30pm ish

I am so crying at bridging ceremony. I didn't really cry just thinking about these cats leaving, but when I saw the transition. the love. The.. depth of compassion. I cried. a lot.

At the end of the ceremony, we had two concentric circles of people singing good friends. At the end of that, I got gang-hugged by some of the youth, which was quite an enjoyable surprise, but my knee scab got ripped off.

My mom was there, anti-surprised that I was bleeding, and she got me the hookup with Joe the camp nurse. Got the cut cleaned up and sealed and stuff.

soulful sundown

Haha rap and roll.

We are at the Soulful Sundown service. They're doing a skit thing about the need to update the stinky current common adult services. The adults are laughing. But I don't really see the youth laughing.

9:28 pm

John Clendenon cut his head by jumpig too quickly onto the bus. When I saw him, he had blookd pooled in hi hand, blood draining dow the back of his neck. and blood leaking in front of his right ear. bloody and messy.

He's inside the air conditioned lodge getting fixed, and we are in the anti-air conditioned bus while the bus drivers write up report on what happened..

A youth just got off the bus saying they had to go to the restroom, but was escorted back on. I guess we are leaving soon. I hope it isn't a potty emergency (a la Animaiacs)

dance

11:10 pm 26 July 2001

Tina suggested I get some grass or chives for 'flowers' for Amy. I found some celery in the kitchen and got her a piece. AJ was all, 'watch out, he's trying to stalk you.'

hahahaahhahhaha!

1:55 am 27 July 2001

At talent show now.

	The dance was hot hot hot hot sweaty and lots of fun. A few people commented positively on my wacky Rob's Crazy Dance. One person asked how I learned to dance so badly. I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not.
	Good thing we had inflatable microphones for karaoke type entertainment!
	Noah and AJ hung from the rafters. Especially impressive when they danced to Comanche up there.

Thanks to Amy for buying me as her date to the dance. :-)

Super sweaty, ate ice cream in the kitchen, then took a shower, singing random songs. Mostly sticking to songs that we knew most of the words to.

While cleaning up after the dance, I found Amy L's camera. I just now took a picture of her sleeping.

Lilly just entered the game. It makes me happy. It's the first game she has ever played, Between her and dee as new players, I anticipate this to be a good game.

3:56 am

During the description of the rules, everyone except Deanna and Lilly left the circle for various reasons. Deanna and Ellen were falling asleep during the description of the rules. At first, people who knew the rules were leaving, but then people who didn't know the rules left. So; we're chillin' listening to The Wall until peeps get back. I'm still going to sleep at 5:00.

4:09 am

Ellen has never stayed up this late ever, Lilly advises her that tommorow she is going to be toes up, and her mother might hypothesize that she is on drugs.

4:22 am

lawren is trying to employ 'the face' in order to avoid pennance points. And has just informed rob that someone shroomed a shroom shroom.

4:27 am

Lilly has just made her first sucessful tattle. It was against me. I said 'he'. I think this brings a tear to my eye.

So, lilly zoomed the ball to rob, who fwapped it to his right. Lilly thought he fwapped it to his left, and tried to pass it to someone. She did not produce a duplicate football. Rob is forcing me to write his, Stupid rob.

4:41 am

ms dee has left to look at the stars.

4:54 am

Miss Ellen left; I think she felt persecuted; Ryan is talking to her; I hope all is recoverable.
