(no subject)
yesterday i went back to my old summercamp for an alumni reunion/fundraiser barbeque thing. it was intense. it was over at 5, but i ended up staying until about 2am hanging out with old friends and actually making some new ones. fishing, ultimate frisbee (with a light up frisbee that changes colors, you'd love it matt), and most of the people were gone we took a few canoes down the river and smoked a blunt under the most clear starlight i've seen in years.
i also picked up a job application, and there's a very good chance i'll be working there this summer. there are some problems which became quickly obvious.
1) bonnaroo. it takes place during the staff orientation week. i'm not going to miss this concert, no matter what.
2) i was supposed to go out and see my brother this summer. i feel lousy for my willingness to give this up. i haven't seen him in about 4 years, and it should be my top priority.
3) medical shit. i don't need or want to get into that right now.
oh yeah, and we got to play the greatest camp game of all camp games. it's called "conquering the new world". imagine capture the flag, but everyone is on crack. there are four tribes, each wearing facepaint of their tribe's color and each with their own battlecry. picture if you will, sneaking along side of a path in your enemy's territory only to hear a sudden crashing in the underbrush and the sound of about eight 12 year olds in red facepaint stampeding towards you. your shrieks are drowned out by the chanting of their warcry and you know that even if you get away from them, other members of the red tribe are on their way. the next time anyone from your tribe sees you, you're clinging to the top branches of a pine tree for dear life.
i need to find people to play this game in the park or something.
