(no subject)
i feel like all i ever talk about anymore is work. but idk, idk, i love it.
we had hilarious kids last week. including paul, who we bet would be out of the closet by the end of seventh grade (he's twelve now.) it's like, you don't want to stereotype. maybe he didn't have any masculine influences growing up, maybe he just gets along with girls better...but he was the gayest twelve year old i ever met. the kids like to think that all of us counselors are bff outside of work, and that we hang out and are always together and date one another. one of the older girls, taylor (who was one of my favorites and is coming back in two weeks, thank god) saw my claddagh was flipped so it showed that i was single, and she asked adam if he was single, and said that we should date. adam "asked me out." two days later, the kids MADE HIM flip my claddagh so that it said i was taken. they ask us about our dates all the time, and we tell them that we're taking it really slow and all we've done is hold hands, but that we went and saw wall-e on friday night after adam picked me up and took me out to dinner. maybe it's a little mean to lie to them like that, but they just beleive it so quickly, and they want to think we're dating and it's so harmless. camp boyfriends lol. but before taylor made adam date me, she was like, adam needs to date someone! and paul just goes, "i could date adam." none of us knew how to respond. adam and i were standing and talking on thursday, and paul was sitting with a few of the other kids. adam laughed at something i said and i kind of like, looked down at the kids and paul was staring at me. he looks at me and goes "you are SO lucky." and i was like, uh, why? and he looks at me, looks at adam and goes, "you KNOW WHY." it was creepy/hilarious.
they also make so many innuendos and don't even realize it. taylor asked me if counselors shared whistles, and i said no. and she said, "but you and adam are dating...doesn't that mean you can blow his whistle?" the kids were having a water fight, and i was wearing white shorts and had already been soaked, and a kid ran up to me with a bucket of water, and i said, "no, i will be so mad if any camper pours water on me. i don't want to get wet, if any camper or counselor gets me wet i will be so mad." and paul looks at me and it was like, totally innocent, and goes, "do you want adam to get you wet?" and i was just like...oh god i have to go inside now.
i kicked the ball over the fence in kickball. one of my proudest moments. the kids wanted to play truth or dare and i dared isabella (everyone's favorite six year old) to climb to the top of the basketball hoop, because, i mean, i thought she wouldn't. but two minutes later i hear someone calling my name and i look over and she's just happily sitting at the top of the hoop, grinning at me. i bolted over and carried her down and she just looks at me and goes, "i get an icepop now?" it was my worst counseling moment. but also one of the funniest.
i leave for chicago at 5 am tomorrow morning for my orientation at depaul. i'm there until 4 pm on tuesday, then i fly back to hartford. i'm nervous/excited/scared. but i also love icebreaker games, so i figure i'll be okay.
