I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus Camp(CLI-Christian Leadership Institute) was interesting. It was a beautiful place, but the whole actually being a jesus camp shot it down a bit. I only knew one person from the very beginning(Devin), but I met new friends after awhile (Krista, Brandon, Susanah, Rebbecca, Katelyn, Lauren, Ryan, Matt, Jonah, Jim, Rachel, Laurel...and bunch more people). All they taught was stupid stuff that I already knew. There was a lot of singing...in some cases toooooo much(as in they repeated the same line at least 15 times for each song at one gathering thing). The best parts?? Hmm...hanging out with new friends, meditation, FANTASTIC FLAPJACKS(our group--best group ever), splash water fight with Devin in regular clothes(I WON!!), finding out I can rock climb, wake-up, lights out(to relax ourselves or whatever not when stupid Shelly says lights out), the waterfall, staring at the night sky...sooo many stars...wishing I could share those moments with Brian and my close friends...I missed you guys soooooooooooooooooo much!!!! I wanted to go home and hang out with you guys sooo bad. I dealt with it though. I really did not like the director Shelly!!! Not very many people did...K-crew members hated her and Program Staff and basically everyone... Oh and the Bishop....He is one creepy ass dude!!!! He gave me the chills!! When he had to put oil on my forehead I began to shake and I wanted to run away soooo bad and he mad stroked my shoulder. I was soo creeped out. AHHHH!! Just talking/typing about it gives me the chills!! I really should not be saying this...ah who cares in mmy opinion you create your own religion the way you interpret it...you shouldn't have to go to some camp to enrich your faith...you should be able to do so on your own so no it doesn't matter that I said that because I don't get the whole bishop pope thing and I really don't think they are incredibly important...I mean it's just another President with it stupid congress. I can believe in God in my own way the way I see it...whether it be Luther or Calvinistic or actually catholic or whatever else there is. What I believe in is all that counts really because religion is for the individual and created by the individual. Okay wow thinking again!! I missed this sort of thing...I had nothing to write about there and I forgot most of what I did there so coming back and going back to thinking is great.
Well I am finally back!!! OHH!! I remembered something else!! Amazingness!! I burned an ant!! It was soo weird because it's thorax(I think it's called...I'm trying to say the ass part) kept inflating and deflating!!! Then I got bored at the dance at one point so I burned a paper Brandon gave to me to burn and tried a streamer but it was all wet with who knows what so that didn't work. I also burned my pen cap right in the Chapel(HAHA). Oh and JUSTICE & SERVICE POSTER!!! It is up on my wall...my parents will freak but oh well. Brandon, Krista, and I along with Jonah for some time made a poster for the youth ministry workshop and we found a heart shaped wire thing and we made the poster appropriately then we sat down and fooled around with a twig and Brandon put it on our drwn pic of Jesus we had inside of the heart so then I remembered I had a lighter and I lit the tip of the stick Brandon spread some ashes to make it look like smoke and we taped it up and Jesus corrupted the children!!! HAHA!! Christy sees it and gasps!!
Christy I am soooo sorry for getting you in trouble!!!! I am sooooooooooo sorry!!!! I feel like such an idiot!! I missed you sooo much!!
ALICIA!!!!!!!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!! I missed you too!
Really I missed all of you!!!
Yesterday I went to Brian's...We watched FERNGULLY!!! It's been sooo long. We went out in the storm too!! God I missed you sooooooo much!!!!
Oh and ANDREA!!!! I missed you sooooooooooooo much too!!!! I called you just about every night!!! Sorry bout leaving you for six days!!! I'm back though.
I got home and Shadow wasn't there at the door and I go into the kitchen getting something to eat and Shadow tip toes in and I'm like HOLY CRAP SHADOW!!!!! I had forgotten I had a dog. Walking with Christy was so weird because I hadn't done it in awhile. Maybe we wouldn't have been late if I had remembered where we were going! My memory truly sucks, but at least I did not forget you guys!!!
