I’m leaving in 45 freakin’ minutes. I just got up. I didn’t even know we were going back to camp today. Oye vay. I have to pack and eat breakfast and brush my teeth. I’ll be back Thursday. Don’t worry.

I’ve redone the entire site. Yep, the home page, the blog, the design page, the extras pages. Everything matches! This is the first time everything has matched! I’m so excited! Everything validates too for the first time. I like this template. I really do. I don’t care if you don’t, I’m keeping it. Ha.

I tried again with the template. What do you think? I like this one. Leave your comments, criticisms, questions, and everything else below. Thanks!

I’m back, finally. This weekend has been a whirlwind of eating, sleeping, working, and rain. The weekend was entitled “Challenge the Counselors”. The staff is all new except for Schlitz: my mom, Bugg’n: the director from last year turned program director, Abby: former lifeguard now assistant director, and good ol’ Grasshopper: a young and shy but very awesome counselor. The new staff is very young, most are about 19 to 21. This weekend was part of their training. Personally, I think it was a pretty good idea. Last year the staff was very overwhelmed when the first campers arrived. This way the campers knew what was going on and so did their troop leaders. The leaders watched the counselors and reported back to the admin staff. The admin even planned a few scenarios for them including one where a child pretended to drown, another when a few campers refused to use the latrines. But many other unplanned disasters happened, my favorite being when a troop leader wouldn’t let her children drink the water because she claimed she was some sort of water advisor and she can tell bad water when she sees it. It was hilarious. Then there was our disaster of a cookout. My unit was simply making mac ‘n cheese and salad. Ha. First we couldn’t get the fire started. Then the water wouldn’t boil. After that, the noodles wouldn’t cook. I was supervising kids that wear slicing the cheese for the macaroni. It was 5 hours until we would eat. So I um, borrowed, some cheese. So did Liz, and the live-in, and any kid that was hungry. So we ran low on cheese. We finally just gave up and Abby brought some bread and peanut butter and jelly. Liz and I ate peanut butter sandwiches in the back room because, technically, we aren’t supposed to eat until all the kids eat. Liz and I weren’t really campers this week, we were assistants. First I assisted Abby by stocking all the units with propane, TP, sponges, matches, and garbage bags and stapling signs to all the latrines and a map in the kitchen shelter. Today Liz and I ran the Trading Post where they sell all things girlscout. Pinewood hoodies, crews, pencils, postcards, etc. It was pretty fun. I helped out with arts ‘n crafts all of Saturday. Mostly I just started a LOT of square stitch boondongle. But it was something to do. And the best part is that Liz and I earned two Pinewood hoodies and some chocolate from Abby. Goody. So far, so good. And the admin is awesome this year. Bugg’n is the program director, she’s awesome. Abby is the assistant director, she’s awesome. And the director is Kim. She’s new but still very awesome. Awesome.

Tomorrow at 10 I’m going off to camp again! I’ll be back that night but I’m leaving again on Friday until Sunday night. Then another break and then 3 solid weeks of camp. After that, a break and 2 more weeks, a break and another week. Or something like that. I don’t really know. If you want to talk to me, send me a letter! I love letters. Send ‘em to:

It’ll be fun. I have to go to bed now if I want to get up early so g’night!

I had my first driving lesson today in ol’ parking lot Q. I am not that good, I can’t park at all. But it’s way more fun than I expected. I can’t wait until I can really drive, that’ll be awesome.

I finished the template today. What do you think? It’s not completly done, I have a few bugs to sort out, but this is pretty much it. Love it, hate it? Tell me please!

Tomorrow my sister is going to Sebreeze (an amusment park) with her friends. My mom said I could go but I forgot and it’s to late to ask someone to come with me. Without someone there with me I’ll have to walk around alone which is a) lame and b) kinda freaky. So I’m not going. I might have time tomorrow to call someone but they all probably already have plans. Darn.

I’m sitting in my broken chair covered in glitter while gluing pennies together with my hot glue gun. Most would have gone insane by now. My brain is tired from thinking. I give up, you win. Maybe I’ll go to bed. But I won’t I can’t. I promised myself I’d make a template tonight. There is only 59 minutes left in that night. I don’t know what people like. I’m quoting myself here: I’m a 14 year old geek with pink hair. What do I know about the average teenager? Squat. Tell me what you like. Do you like the hip hop? The rap? What of the hip hop or the rap? Do you like movies with Ashton Kutcher in them? What of the Ashton Kutcher movies? Catching my drift yet? I live under a rock. Except my rock consists of 4 neon pink walls and a door that won’t shut all the way. A rock with a very nice bondi blue iMac and a broken chair. And a girl covered in glitter, gluing pennies together with her hot glue gun. Maybe I am going insane.

I got the new Beastie Boys CD yesterday. Turns out that if you put it in your computer it installs software that won’t let you rip the songs onto your computer. So now I have to listen to it in my stereo instead. It sucks. I don’t understand why’d they do this. I bought the CD because I’d feel bad for downloading that many songs of the internet. But now I can’t rip them so I’m just going to download them. If I had known before, I wouldn’t even have bought it. Ugh. Now is the perfect time for a well chosen Futurama quote: “Hey, Bender gonna make some noise, get your hard drive scratched by the Beastie Boys!”

I can’t decide on a layout. I need your help. I’ve included a list of images that show pretty much what each will look like. Just vote on your favorite using the Reblogger comment system below. This is very important. I am pretty sure which one you all will pick, but I just want to know. Thanks.
