Two days in a row.
Ohsnap.


So anyway. Ben reminded me of some things (they happened at camp) that could almost fill a whole post (you may have seen his reminder in the comments of my last post). So that's probably all this will be about; it'll just be shorter than usual.

Hang on a minute. There is a fly in here that is driving me crazy.
...Hmm. It's gone.
I doubt it's gone permanently; it'll be back. I already knocked it down once....
I'll keep you posted.

Moving on.

Oh, wait. It's back.
...And it's gone again.
(Wow, this is going to be a weird post, I can tell.)


Anyway.
Camp.
I forgot to mention that Daniel purchased a grocery store and brought it to camp. So... we had a lot of food that week. We mostly just ate it after the evening chapel, which I guess makes sense, as that's sort of the longest gap between meals and all.
So then on the last day we had quite a bit of food left. There was one bag of Doritos, it was some sort of... mysterious flavor. I think you were supposed to guess what it was or something.
Anyway, Daniel said he wasn't opening it until everything else was eaten (except the gum; there was a lot of that...). So... yeah. I don't think it actually happened like that, but anyway. Eventually they got opened. I'm not sure who decided they were "Mountain Dew flavor" but that pretty much sums it up, so we all agreed, mostly. They tasted... limey.
Anyway. We ate ALMOST all of it on the last night. But apparently some of it was left on the way back, so it got eaten then. I didn't help, because I was in a different van.

So I also forgot to talk about "The Amazing Race." (By the way, the fly is buzzing around again every once in a while; I tried to smash it, but... no.)
We've done this every year at camp since I can remember. Well, maybe not that far back, but at least every year I've been at senior high camp (they may not do it at the younger camps, though, so... no idea how long they've been doing it). I think they might have gotten the name/idea from something on television, but I really don't know because I don't typically watch television. (Fly came by again; I think I got a pretty clean hit, but it kept going after that. Ooh, yes! I swatted it in midair and it fell down, but... no. Still flying. Resilient, this one.)
Anyhow, basically it's a giant relay, but instead of just running, there's blobbing and carpetballing and bellyflopping and movingwaterfromonebuckettoanotherusingafairlysmallcupping and gettinghitwiththosefoamswimmingpoolnoodlethingsing and all sorts of stuff like that. (Another good hit... it's still going! Ooh, and there's another. Possibly the hardest yet. It fell... no idea where it is now, but I'm pretty sure it's still alive.) So then this relay... yeah. I don't know. The team I'm in never seems to do very well in it, and I'm not really sure how one would be able to do well in it... it seems like the slightest thing can get you way off-track, but at the same time it seems like it's hard for the people in back to get ahead. A lot of the things can only be done by one team at a time, so it's all down to how quickly you get it done, I guess....
I dunno.
Anyway, we got... Umm... ninth place? Tenth? Pretty similar to our overall rank in the end, I think.


...So then I (actually, was it my idea originally?) got the idea to do "The Amazing Chapel."
Basically, it'd be like... One person would speak, and some other people would pass the offering plates, and others would do special music, and stuff like that. Then my ideas degraded into things like loudly unwrapping and chewing bubble gum. Some other people had ideas like "someone to fall asleep" and "two people to pass love notes back and forth."
...Anyway. It would be really silly, and of course it'd never be done; it was just fun to talk about. But it's funny because our sillier ideas were actually pretty similar to real chapel, sadly.


Yeah, this was a short post.
I can't really say I don't have anything else to post. I mentioned a lot of things I wanted to post on yesterday, and I have lots of other ideas brewing as well.
But I don't want to spend the time right now; I might not have enough time before I go to bed / before the day is over and I miss a day of posting again.

(By the way, I haven't seen that fly in a while. I don't think I killed it, though; it's probably writhing on the floor in agony... That makes me almost feel sorry for it. But I don't know where it is so I can't squash it.)
