...which was very very nice but yet, had very bad moments. First of all...deep creek is the place. I want to live there, or around the bay area...someplace with water and non-sucky seafood. The vacation was WAY too short. The worst parts about it were the fact that the car (the family van) broke down approximately 7 times. Something about a fuel pump or a sensor or SOMETHING and running up and down mountains dragging a trailer. After we'd climb a mountain and have to come to an idle somewhere on the road, like a stop sign ANYTHING- the car would just up and DIE. no warning. then we had to wait about 20 minutes then it would fire back up again! This happened to us about 7 times and each time we were lucky enough to have planned for it (towards the end) and die on a side street and not get plowed by traffic. But also on the way home, not only were we having that problem, we pretty much blew a tire (in van again)...so the 3 girls (we were at a rest stop at Sideling Hill) unpacked the car and sat with the trailer while my dad ran with the spare to Hancock and got a new tire from a bunch of Hillbillies who charged us 20 bucks even for mounting and balancing. SWEET. So that was pretty much the car rides thither and hither.
> The actual camping part was amazing...it was actually kinda chilly up there. we swam one day- i got burned a little :) yes pale girl tan! and saw waterfalls another day. We heard Great Horned owls and turkeys and saw deer right from our picnic table which we all named "Walter" (don't ask). But we missed the bear. He came through the campground right by our neighbors and I MISSED IT! i didn't even hear it! I was so mad. But my dad and I did find bear poo on one of our day trips. That's right. We're cool.
***Friday night after we came home we got dinner and went up to McDaniel to see "Nunsense" on TOTH and "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare"
I have a few things to say about this adventure:
(WARNING: THIS MAY GET A TAD RANTY)
- Both shows were hilarious and I absolutely enjoyed them (first and foremost)
- I entered Alumni Hall- and a WHOLE bunch of memories came flooding back...that i miss.
- I missed Ally! Who's in Scotland..so naturally if she brings me back a scottish boy I will forgive her. (and Jess Too!)
- I had FABULOUS greetings by people of whom I wanted to see the most and whom I've missed! Maggie, Devie, Matt, Pec? haha
- but as expected and I DON'T KNOW FRICKIN WHY- i got the huge cold "why the hell are you hear" air from a certain someone, whom of which for the record, I do not hate! But she hates me it seems. um, why? Because I'm friends with your friends? Sorry that you are mightier than me and therefore I am no longer good enough to speak to on humanly terms. Seriously, what did I do? You speak of pettiness, and you act it now...i don't understand.
-^ to continue with that...i felt non-welcomed, shunned and other wise dismissed for saying "hi, how are you?" so cheerfully. my bad.
- I wish I could've talked to Alex more :/ but she seemed like she was busy and I miss her! I MISS EVERYONE FROM MCDANIEL! goodness if only i could list the people I miss! Chorus-band-theater (most of you lol)-the ladies- phi mu girls i know- FNL....oye.
-but then i get shunned by one and i feel this cold "you are not welcomed" hiss...
..maybe it's because of that damn concussion I had back in the fall...everyone in the theater department avoids/hates/has an opinion about me because they think I tried to tear down the theater department in my "anger"...ps- get a clue...whoever told you that shit..was a complete lie! and all a rumor! Plus I barely remember anything that happened over the course of those 2 weeks! My father didn't sue the theater..I didn't sue the theater...NO ONE SUED THE THEATER. Nor did I have any thoughts/yearnings to do so! I loved it (and still do) as much as you all do ("you all" being general) so please for the love of God and my sanity...whoever thinks this is the truth and treats me or doesn't even want to meet me because they think this is true, please someone set the record straight. Ira knows me as "the girl who got hit by the prop and whose dad was pissed"
- i just want to be comfortable again in the place I used to love so much. (i'm sure it would be no problem if I was competitively involved in the theater and actually in stage productions...guess i need to accept there is no welcome and comfort in a place that is so cut throat and tight..once you leave...it's hard to return...)
sad.
Anywho...I'm getting my little beta fish soon. Her/his name is going to be Kitten..that's right...Kitten...like my favorite K. Swimmy stated: "It's more vixen like..."
indeed ;)
