it has been awhile. sydney this is for you, btw. also i guess its for me. so things are going really well right now, because i have been living at camp more than i have been living at home which is the way i like it. this weekend, i had a one on one which is cool because i got to know him really well. basically he was nine years old and he was bi-polar with Adhd, OCd, tourette's, and sensory integrity issues. basically he was super moody and had some behaviors where you just kind of had to run away. but we played soccer and baseball and "hunt the buffalo" a lot, which was tight i felt like a little kid again. this one time, we were kicking the soccer ball instead of going to dinner and he hit his head, and started freaking out and i am freaking out inside because i am so scared he will have his biggest behavior yet, but he lets me kiss his head which is big for him because he doesn't like touch, so i was happy. but i got maybe seven hours of sleep because i was on night duty friday night and this little seven year old named trevor wouldnt sleep without someone sleeping with him, so i had to cram between the rails with him which was cute for maybe ten minutes until i realized how uncomfortable i was. but bobby allen was in my lodge, who is my favorite little boy in the history of little boys. he was in a bad mood this whole weekend, and since he has downs he is super stubborn. except on sunday he started talking again, like nonstop, and he never refused to give me a kiss so it was okay. also, kinsey was there and it was the tightest thing ever, she had a new dog named chloe who she kept on a leash and the thing looked so real, geez. there was the most beautiful six year old with autism and cerebral palsy, he was amazing. and the usual crowd was there as well: tony, tom, debbie, sarah, diana, carlton, and rod. and me and annabelle had quality time with carlton and tony on saturday. and rod and i got really close and he is so funny, we had this war with down feathers, and they were stuck all over him it was hilarious. tony was reading with bobby one day at campfire and it was so precious. the food was gross and AB and i both got sick, yuck, and stayed home yesterday. i met the coolest guy ever named brandon, he was so laid back and awesome. arazeli was back this weekend and it made me so happy because i love her.
i missed sinead's party, which i am sad about i heard it was fun. and i missed bruno's, but i dont really care i heard it wasnt that great. and i missed the fashion show, which i heard was amazing and i am sad i wasnt there.
but in the grand scheme of things, i love camp so much i would miss a whole lot for it. at our meeting tamisha read us a letter from a parent of a first time camper which said that while their child was at camp, they went out to dinner together for the first time in eleven years. thats some strength, compassion, and love right there.
none of the drosche's were there this weekend so i was sad, because i love it when jared tries to say my name but cant, so he says "jddeedshica" or something along those lines. and robbie goes "What are we GOnna DO? What are we goooona do?". but laura's problem campers brother was a JC in my lodge, he was cool i guess but his brother is crazy.
camp is the most amazing and important thing i have done with my life so far. carlton and annabelle and tony and i were having this really deep conversation in the pitch black main lodge at 4 in the morning on saturday night, and so many things just got pieced together for me. carlton is this great guy, with his life very together, holding down an awesome job and driving a super nice black beamer, and yet he still devotes every weekend to this cause, even though his girlfriend nicole, who introduced him to it, doesn't come with him anymore. the counselors at camp come from so many different backgrounds and random situations, and yet there is this unbreakable bond between all of us that no one mentions, but it is forever there. i feel so incredible when im around these incredible people. its like good-vibe central. everyone is compassionate, understanding, open, loving, caring, amazing people who i would never be friends with or know without this small little haven in cupertino i call my second, almost first, home.
so i took a break to eat dinner and now i'm done with my shpiel.
except that can i just say that it was hilarious when this camper named nolan took the shower head and accidently sprayed all the counselors before we could close the curtain. ohh man that was so funny.
anyway. homework calls. |

this weekend i went to a tournament in Clovis/Fresno with my tennis team which was very very fun. me, kathryn and noelle had the only room with a fridge. this is very important to me.
PLUS - we got to miss mass of the holy spirit, YES YES YES
so we got there on thursday night and went to applebees which was HORRIBLE, never again. then friday we played three matches, me and kathryn won. friday night we had this stupid banquet thing but we went out to ice cream after and then did ms. mckinney impressions in our room and videotaped them. saturday kathryn and i won one and lost one, but we still got 14th out of 64 so we were happy.
the highschools we played at were SOOOO cute they were straight out of hollywood i swear. at clovis west, the cheerleaders were in their uniforms and eating lunch on the grass with the football players in their jerseys! ahhhh it was so stereotypical i LOVED it. Buchanan high had the most amazing campus, it was so pretty. the van ride back took FOREVER and we got home at about 11, all in all it was a stellar weekend up until now because i am doing homework.
much love kids... |

i had my first unofficial day of school today.
aka convocation
which wasn't bad because it was short and i saw all my long lost friends. and i discovered that this year, finally, i dont even care anymore.
it ended at 10, but then it was too early for lunch, so what else to do but go to starbucks? lauren, britney, colleen and i continued on to stonestown of course because lee-lee, pave, julienne, levon, abelle, etc. were there....then lunch at lincoln market with lauren and colleen and then began the
Wait Around Period
where we waited for practice to start. but then danny called, so i almost hung out with him except for when he told me he was at caltrans by the ball park and i said NO, so now i think he's mad at me. but i talked to tony on the way home which made me day 300% better.
okay, spanish essay time |

| THIS IS LAURA MAXWELL"S |
[Aug. 23rd, 2004|11:35 pm] |
THis is Laura Maxwell's camp entry in her journal. i had to document it, because these memories MUST BE REMEMBERED FOREVER!
ps. im sorry if you dont get it, we worked at a camp for mentally disabled people this summer, and it was the most amazing experience of my life.
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
This is dedicated to Jessica Perry:
Kevin. Kevin was an asshole. Kevin was perplexing. He kicked me, punched me, called me a fucking bitch, threw rocks and almost hit Mariah and than Diana was about to kill him, and should have gotten sent home about three times. My whole lodge did a victory dance when he finally got sent home.
Jason Turner. Oh my love Jason Turner. Sitting on his bed all day j-j-jacking off, and than asking you to shake his hand. And then we would ask him to wash his hands, and he refused. Would you like lunch Jason? Yea that's what I thought.
"I don't know" shrugs shouldars.. "I...I...I don't know."
Andy. Oh Andy. CARRRAZZZZY with the glue. "Would you like to take a walk Andy?" "why yes, I certaintly would." singing hakuta matata on our walks, and telling me every animal from Aladdin and what colors they wore. hands in the pocket...
Cassie: FAVORITE COLOR?! FAVORITE CHARACTER?! PINK, NOT PURPLE BEDSHEETS. "Hey Cassie...Ceri is calling you..., by the way, what is your favorite number Cassie?"
Jared: "I know you're a lion, but if you eat that tree right now, you're going to be too full for lunch..." I think the mask and body paint only encouraged this behavior.
And then of course. The beautiful, wonderful, terrific councelors that make camp, camp.
Yiannis: "Yes Laura I am your husband. We had Matt when you were one, and I was 8." But he was suppossed to be the laundry boy anyways, so he can't say anything.
JT: "Look at the Native Americans!" "You can't even jack off anywhere here!" Jess Perry: That is also know as one of the funniest conversations of your life.
D. Chan: Our child is going to be beautiful. We have named him Jimbo, we should be having him in about 284 days. Approxiamtely. He will be a camper, and we are going to have a lot more, don't worry for all of those who doubt teen parenting, we have wiped enough asses this summer, showered enough people, fed them, and shit we would usually be doing this for three people at a time! Teen parenting is going to be easy!
Maritn: I LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE MARTIN. Martin and I are best friend soul mates, like tony and Jess. We are destined to be the greatest of friends, lol. Kind of like Kelly and I (even though that has nothing to do with camp, but I suddenly just remembered that conversation, lol)
Tom: good times.... lol fill in the blanks...
Tony: Ah tony is the greatest, especially when Jessica was running around the lodge naked, and Tony told her she was forcing him to act like tom and becoming hella perverted. "Do you want me to go to jail?!"
Sarah: ah she is the greatest, we are such good friends now and I always forget she's 5 years older than me too. "I always forget I'm so much older than you. If this was school, and you were even a year younger than me, I would treat you so differently." hehe, I'm a special volunteer, speaking of which....
Judy: I am her special volunteer. I am taking her to the hospital and Diana will hold her hand. "Nice hands Valerie, Nice hands, calm down." (Actually jessica now that i think about it you weren't there for Valerie, but Valerie was this insane camper of hers who just pinched all day long, and that is the only thing Judy said for the whole week. Omg it was so funny.)
Diana: We hate Jen. I will hold your hand for the hospital trip.
Jen. O: Good times with the lotion and orgy on the couch. hhahahahahha.
And of course, my dear Jessica, you made the last week so great, what would I have done without you? Oh yea...not have anyone to babysit and calm me down when I lost one of my kids..
And so many others, I just don't have time to talk about...
haha omg I hope to god you, liz, martin, danny, and I get together this week. It will be the greatest day ever. Writing this entry put the biggest smile on my face, words really can't express. Cliche I know, but you just can't understand until you go there, and understand what a beautiful place that camp is.
Only 284 days until next summer...
RIP SUMMER 2004 |

KKKKKKIIIIIIINNNNNNSSSSSSEEEEEEYYYYYYY
i miss kinsey. i had this bout of sadness for my precious little girl. you have got to see my pictures. i loved that little troublemaker. all i want to do is see her putting on another campers shoes, or rubbing her tummy, or saying "SEE!!!!" at 7 in the morning when she wakes me up to show me she got dressed by herself. and "so sorry so sorry" and "okayokayokayokay" after i tell her to do something. and "sw.sw?" (that means swimming today?). and when she hugs me and says "fwend, fwend" while doing the wrong sign for friend but i understand anyway. and when she kisses my arm aka spits on my shirt, but how can you get mad! and when she got into the other campers PJ's, and when she tried to climb through the duty room window, and when she ran out of the lodge first in just her underwear/diaper, and then all out naked holding her belly saying "hungy". and ANNIE the fricking dog we had to take everywhere, and the intertube she HAD TO ROLL wherever we went.
for everyone besides laura and syd...
kinsey was one of my three campers at camp costanoan, she had a developmental disability which put her 12 year old body at a 3 year old level. she knew about 50 words but could hear fine, and she signed a lot. she was always doing things she knew she shouldn't do and i would come find her, looking mean, and she would automatically rub her chest in a circle (sorry in sign language). i won't begin to go into the things you do NOT want to hear about that i had to do, (hahahahaha syddawg and laura), but i miss her little smile so damn much.
come on laura, don't you miss KEVIN just a little bit?
or jason-i-jack-off-all-the-time-and-throw-dirt-in-counselors-hair-turner?
and andy, whom actually i really did love.
but you know who i miss, is atiya. i wrote her a letter today and i was crying inside. that girl is amazing, i cant wait to see her again. also tony, who i am pretty sure is my soulmate best friend. and danny, whom i absolutly adore with all my heart, and sarah burkey, who is the sweetest person ever, and yes even clinton, who was my brother even though we were always "mad at eachother".
that one was for you laura, because i will never ever forget that last week. |

i was on a run up at crown road today and i came across a butterfly in the middle of the trail so i put my finger next to it and it climbed onto my finger. it couldnt fly, but i held it up to the wind to get the air flowing through its wings, but it didnt work. Then i just stood there for a while, holding it. it was walking around on my hand, and it's little legs were tickly. and then i put it on the side of the road where it clung onto a branch. it was just beautiful.
i named her Haylie.
On my drive down, i rolled down all the windows in my ghetto honda hybrid and blasted the most random music i could find - alice music volume 3. then i got tired of that, put on some good old jack johnson, and cruised on home. |

the words "geometry" "espanol en la calle" "history lecture" and "mr. hanley's tirade" have been floating through my head all day.
and yesterday, i was on a run with colleen up at crown road, and i honestly had a headache because the lyrics to every single maroon 5 song were smushing around in my head and i was losing control!
but crown road is so gorgeous. i was thinking about it, and we are so lucky to live in a place as pretty as marin. i mean, shit son its boring, but its just so beautiful. yes, i love the city for its life, duh thats why i went to SI, but its so awesome to come home from the foggy days to a beautiful sunny sky reflecting off bright blue water. you think you get that in the the sunset? i dont think so. haha people are always asking me if i go to the beach all the time because its only a few blocks from SI. i usually make some sort of snorting noise of laughter, and then promptly recieve a look of confusion. ocean beach, apart from being littered on all over, is on a good day either a) a danger to swimmers/surfers/and leasurists
or
b) freeeeeeeeezing cold outside and in the water
therefore, it isnt usually a huge party down there during the day
however, we do get those days when it is HOT (not a lot, but during the spring, ahhhh so pretty) and when its hot like that you look out the window of your third period class and you just have to smile because there is the ocean, breaking monster waves and about 5 minutes away. THEN, i feel like, this is so great. i forget where i was going with this entry, so i'll move on.
i love going to school in the city. i think it is the funnest thing ever because i get the best of both worlds. as boring as marin is, i love it to pieces. i guess im lucky because most of my friends live in the city/down the peninsula, so whenever we do stuff, it has something to do with being in san fran. so after school i get to just hang out in san francisco, go to stonestown or west portal or get a sandwhich or whatever i want to do. and no one needs to drive because theres the munis. but then i get to come home and lie out in my backyard and go swimming in my pool - something my city friends mos def cannot do.
im just feeling good right now, feeling lucky. i think it was my run yesterday that brought it all into perspective for me. today, its a little gray for my taste, but thats fun too. i dont feel guilty for being inside all day. on sunny days, all i want to do is be outside, play tennis, tan, whatever. NOT do homework....so at least i dont have the urge to run outside today. unfortunatly, i have to get back to damn spanish homework. this was a nice break - maybe i'll be back later.
