idiot people who think they can make a freak show of our camp

I hate those Wierd NJ people. Excuse me hate is not the right word here. I loathe and despise them. They have no business being here. They have put their videos on YouTube for the whole world to see. It is on websites and chatrooms and books and magazines. It is just DISTURBING. RAZZAFRAZZARZZLFRZZ!!!!

More Breakins

Oi. There have been WAY too many break ins here. Dan's precious watch and and turtle are MIA. Last night there were several cars driving through. I already wrote about the canoe incident. And not to mention the 15 cars coming here wanting to party. Plus I found another blog that has pictures of people down by the waterfront the date being December 30th 2008. Also someone threw the cross down at Green Cathedral into the woods. I'm really scared now that someone's going to do some serious damage.

I know that people think this place is haunted, but there is a logical answer behind all of them. See look:

A Haunted Pick Up Truck that is insane and will chase after you.

TRUTH: Tony drives a hayride with a bunch of screaming kids on it like a roller coaster.

A Vicious Dog That Appears Out Of Nowhere.

TRUTH: Sweetie Pie. A Beagle whom roams the camp and the woods around us who loves to run (and does not get along very well with Ginger)

The Green Cathedral which is haunted and used to be a human sacrifice place

TRUTH: The Green Cathedral is a place that the camp worships in. wow people. Human Sacrifice? Oh brother.

The Road of Circles that only will take you in circles if you go on it

TRUTH: Pitman Road. A giant pit at the end of the road that has a path around the side of it. But obviously there is a road to and fro.

ect

And the list goes on. It is just so stupid of people to break in here. It is against the law to trespass and they could get in serious trouble.

*Nancy Drew*

Oh my goodness the most scariest thing happened yesterday. Dad and I were just driving back from town when we noticed 4 teenagers walking up from the Green Cathedral. Now why would they be there????? So we parked the car and waited for them to come up to us. Their car, we had thought was Dave's (we saw it when we left) but really turned out to be theirs, so they had been here for a while. We thought that they were those Weird NJ seekers, because the other day, about 15 cars came looking for the Green Cathedral saying it was haunted or something. In fact a few weeks ago someone broke in and threw the cross in the woods. Who would do that?!? Anyways the 4 teenagers walk up to us and say that they were just looking for someone who works here. "That would be me" (go Dad!) Then they were like in shock until the guy said "Oh ok. We were just wondering if you knew of an old glass factory here." We didn't know that at the time that there actually used to be an old glass factory here, but we said no. I guess it was apart of the old Mt Misery town. Then they were on their way. Dad and I could so tell that they were either lying, or were the weird NJ seekers.

So the family went for a walk last night, to see if the Green Cathedral had been vandalized or if they vandalized any of the ropes course. The Green Cathedral seemed untouched, so we went down to the waterfront where we found a canoe and paddles out by the dock. Someone had taken them out without putting them back. But we couldn't blame it on the teenagers because we had no proof that they did it. Maybe it was Dan or Jason. How could we tell? They were not even on campus that afternoon. But it wasn't them.

On the way to the waterfront on the path from the Green Cathedral was a fresh water lilly. The only way to get a fresh water lilly is to go out to the middle of the "lake" and pick it out of the water. The lily was so fresh and new, and it didn't have one scratch on it. Yea.

14 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!

Ok I will admit that I am NOT the most patient person. School starts September 9th and I am sooooooooo anxious! Camp has been over for about 2 weeks, and I have been kinda going stir crazy. Marilyssa showed me a library which is good because I need to keep myself occupied. I love schedules, and this is the one thing about sumer that drives me crazy. There is no routine in the summer.

I don't think I am that nervous about going to school I mean there are only 12 other kids besides me that go there. What's to it? I guess the only thing I'm worried about is the question will I find a friend? Once again there are only 12 other kids in my grade. I don't know. And there's no field hockey either. There's horse club or chess club and I really am not interested in either one. But at Seneca...wow...

Seneca is the high school I would go to. It is like the high school everyone dreams of. They have got every sport, every club, AND everything else you could think of. It sounds like so much fun. On top of that it is a new school, so the building itself is just exquisite. If you don't believe me go to their website at lrhsd.org (or com???) then click on Seneca and check out what they have to offer because it is just AH-MAYZING! But I'll keep you updated ;)

fried????

What can you fry? What do you think of? Maybe fried chicken, or anything you get at Mc Donald's. Or even those fried green beans at Friday's. But what I'm talking about is WAAAY awesomer than that.

Fried Oreos.

Yup. fried OREOS! Who would ever imagine? And don't even think of saying "Ewww who would ever try that???" because they are AH-MAYZING! Trust me I was just taking a thankful bite. But everyone who had one wanted more and were fighting over them. April's dad was the fry master. And he didn't just fry oreos either. Uh uh. He was frying oreos, snicker bars AND twinkies. But I was WAY to stuffed (after having two) to have anything else. But these counselors were like fryaholics! They would eat 7 oreos then have a twinkie and then go for the snickers. (And these weren't the big eaters either) It was CRAZY! And wicked good.

Now I can say that I have eaten a fried oreo.

Haha Ian wanted me to try a "jersey chilly dog" but hopefully this will make up for it! (chilli dog? No way Jose!)

Camp Is OVER

Camp is over. YAHOO! I had a lot of fun! I finally get my own room back too. Judy's daughter Ana came to stay here at my house. So she Marilyssa and I all hung out together this week. (Well not together because they didn't get along all that well.) And my counselors hated me... but they never liked me, and quite frankly I didn't exactly like them either. But that is okee dokee, because I am not in their cabin anymore.

CAMP ADVENCHUR IS SHUTTING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? Isn't that just the worst thing EVER?????? I can't believe that they are doing that. It is just so wrong in so many ways.

a fun time

I am having so much fun at camp. I have met new friends (YES!) and am learning so much really about life. Our camp director this week is a life counselor, and all the activities we do relate to the "reality" of life.

I cannot go in the water in the lake because I am allergic to duck-itch (most of you know that) (oh yeah and it's duck poop is what it is) So like always I did not go to the lake today, neither does Marilyssa (Maggie's daughter). So she comes over to my house. Judy was here too, so we could bring her downtown Browns Mills to get Diet Coke. We all had so much fun. We went to Rita's to get wouader ice. It was awesome. Then we came back and I played an ouasome game of Monopoly with Marilyssa.

Something to Do

Ok! I've got something FINALLY to do this week! Dad signed me up for "Reality Camp" which is starting Sunday. Luckily though, I get to do day camp because we live right on campus. I am soooooooo thankful for that because I get to sleep in my own bed! I am hoping I don't get the counselor who doesn't like me because that would be just awful. I try to stay out of her way. I guess the theme of the camp is all the major reality shows like 'Survivor', 'American Idol' and 'So You Think You Can Dance' kind of stuff. I just hope that we don't do anything too messy!!!

Today we are going to Michael's Craft Store. Mom wants to teach me how to do needle point cross stitch! I am really excited!

ToRnAdO!

We had a tornado come through camp!!! Poor Grandma and Uncle Jim were here too. I had just got back from my last performance. Grandma had just finished saying that: "It looks like the Wizard of Oz sky!". Then over the radio Meghan says that there is a tornado warning for this area. So Mom turns on the news and lo and behold was a tornado warning for all the places that we had just drove through including our town. Then Grandma suggests that we head down cellar to the only basement in the camp. We were up and down from there, watching lightning and thunder, hail, and a transformer blowing up. Wowee wow wow. What a night!
