Day

12:05pm CDT Thursday 25 July 2002

Lunch is late as it's been each day. Steve explained to Abbey that when the schedule was designed, the food crew was not consulted; there is not enough time between breakfast and lunch to prepare lunch for this many people.

This affects the

12:09pm

Ooooh. This is interesting. Bryn, Sean, others addressing the entire camp around their creation of The Power Table for the third year in a row. They are recognizing how it negatively affected the community. Sadness. Noah trying to soften it; Bryn totally torn up about it.

I love the integrity of YRUU.

12:30pm

This was a community-healing meeting. Some past sadnesses are revealed in their greater context; recovery is happening.

Fifty one

3:57pm CDT Thursday 25 July 2002

Playing Category 51 on the way to main camp for Bridging Ceremony, categories:
Fast cars (race car 2, race car 3)
paint colors
footwear
european countries (paris)
Star Wars movies (episode 1, episode 2...)
Band names (Tchaikovsky)
Movies that start with R (Animal House)

Fun stuff! We didn't follow with rules like "no repeats or hesitations" even though those are part of the game.

bridging

7:34pm CDT Thursday 25 July 2002

On the way back to group camp now. Great to see YA peeps and to watch the bridging process of the YRUUers. I cried for several of them, mostly Bibby because all three Bibby's were up there Joey, Rick, Sean to see him across. I chose not to jump up to hug Bryn even though I really wanted to.

I got tons of pictures.

But didn't get a picture of me riding around the parking lot on Austin Roth's handlebars. It took us two tries to get started and stable on his bike, but once we did, we pretty much had no problems. It was a tad scary since I was barefoot.

Good to see Jason.

We just passed C Mart, a precursor to K Mart.

Hey, this is Ben, I'm going to take advantage of this laptop being conveniently here on my lap to voice my current feelings. This SWUUSI's felt different for me. It's kind of hard for me to place my finger on it, but somehow this week hasn't been the same for me as the past 2 and a half years have. I guess I'm just getting older. It's a weird sort of paradox because the feeling is so foreign to me, yet at the same time, it seems right. I'm to the point in my life when I'm supposed to be feeling this nameless emotion. Next year still scares me. I'm bridging at SWUUSI '03, at it's scary but I can tell it's time. I hear so many old schoolers complaining about how YRUU's changed and blah blah, and yeah, it isn't the same as it used to be, but I don't think it's worse, it's just different. The reason why next SWUUSI's going to be my time isn't so much that the community's changed, but that I've changed. YRUU has been a constant evolution for me, and I'm reaching the pinacle, I can feel it deep inside of me. I used to be certain that I'd be in YRUU as long as I possibly could be, but now I know that I'll be leaving it when I turn 19 at SanAn rally '03. I'll miss all the people here. I've really been connecting with the younger generation, but I know at the bridging ceremony next year, there'll probably be more faces on the YA side that I recognize, than on the YRUU side.

9:39pm CDT Thursday 25 July 2002

Back from Bridging Ceremony, chilled in touch groups a bit and discussed the committee on redesigning/moving SWUUSI with input from David Johnston, the main camp liaison.

huge hollering outside as a mock mob ran from cabin to cabin hollering "yaahhhhhhh" and "BIG FIGHT!" "HUGE FIGHT!! AAAHahahahhhhhhhh!!"!

Gave to Joey my old YAC/YRUU binder.

Talked to Edward Lerner a bit about my CDs that I'm giving away.

Power Shuffle now.

2:01am

Powerful Power Shuffle. Abbey read the questions; the rest of us cried a little or a lot

2:54am

Ben again, talent show time, Amelia's singing Yesterday and doing fairly well. I had to say as much of my poem as possible from memory, I kind of stuttered a lot. ^_^;; Rob, Pat, and Bryn did the three headed monster again and I'd say it was probably the funniest one yet, I'll miss you guys in the coming year or so.

3:55am CDT Friday 26 July 2002

Wow.

I've just been awakened by Joel, with whom I've hardly spoken in our YRUU years together. He's just seemed well connected within the community; I never approached him, and he never approached me.. until now.

Such amazing connections can be made in YRUU so amazingly quickly and with profound depth. I'm so ..... touched. Honored. Thrilled to have been allowed this opportunity to begin a conversation with Joel.

Thank you. Thank you.

after some massive fwappage. mr dictator forgot asha's name and she asked whaat the fuck just happened and he told her that he forgot her name and she asked what happened. .
master masterbation tool master.
duke dong diced.

happy shrugs-a-lot is now known as Tony Chestnut. (singing)

"i really dont like the motions that that girl makes... then asha flicks him off. :-P improperly using the zoom. tony chestnut was deeply offended by it... "fucking scarred for life."

"what is wrong with little bunny foo foo?" "little bunny foo foo picks up little field mice and bops them on the head. that's what's wrong with little bunny foo foo." adrienne had to dance to it while mr pat shot imaginary guns at her to make her dance "mr dictator, i ran out of bullets..." mr dictator said something like 'just lower the gun below the TV like this and when you raise it again it'll be reloaded." wow. magic.

Calder stole it from Pat, gave it to Rob, stole it from Rob, fwapped it using the wrong (right) hand on Rob's left leg.
rob also snorted when he laughed.

pat fwapped to himself, fwapped to himself again, and then reveresed the direction of the fwap to fwap to calder.
laura said "wheeeee" and got 1/2 a penance point for saying "we".
Daniel and human chalice got a wormhole. so did adrienne and laura
rob said 2 way black hole hahaha in out in out what kind of black hole is this?
human chalice has been drinking too many martini glasses because martini glasses are chalices - pat.
"i do not enjoy the sound effects quote pewn! unquote." -pat as well.

calder didn't notice that she had the ball and pat kept nodding at laura who eventually was tricked and zoomed the ball. curses. what a jerk pat is. he lied and said he was misunderstood and received 1.5 a penance point for false info, lying across wormholes(or something), and lying to cover butt.

pat went to go take a shower so that he can get his mack on. inappropriate. (dissapprpriate)
what are you doing" we're playing silent football... no, we're playing fucking basketball. mr kevin joins the gamme, he doesn't know aboout wormholes.
we all said that we like human chalice individually, starting with laura. daniel said it last and was given .5 a penace point for succumbing to peer pressure. calder said that the only ones who really love her are sexy shorts and mr dictator. there is now a debate about it. apparenly calder would lust for herself too but she doesn't have to cuz she is herself. wonderful bond etc quote we unquote... bla bla bla "shut up! jesus christ! this hurts!" - adrienne. human chalice will now be ignored for 3 minutes.

calder's singing while being ignored. "i have a minute left... 25 seconds.." plus one minute for talking. plus one minute for assaulting mr. dictator. she's been singing "be kind to our fine feathered friends on "doo doo do do dood oo" and time. she keeps getting more for talking and assaulting mr dictator. she wasn't even aware that she had the ball. actually what she was singing was, as adrienne described it, "that little tune that is slightly patriotic."

Daniel leaves the game and amber joins. human chalice wants to know where her other half is. "'ts right there." apparently "'ts right" isn't a pronoun.

human chalice has, yet again, recieved a half a penance point for wasting the universes time and then for repeating herself. she also requests to leave the universe because she is hallucinating... there is a dragon above her head. hehe. "theres a dragon right there too." "I know. don't look at it," says Mr Dictator. she lost. she so lost. hahaha arguing she had 4.5 and rob said the 4.5 from her last game turned into a half. then that she got the points from the other game or something. he;s the dictator, he can do what he wants. pat's back. still singing. he was singing in the shower. the game is over.
