// Kiss the chicken.

Well, here's the thing. I had a radical time at Pre-Teen Camp and I totally would've posted about it earlier. Y'know, if my dad hadn't gotten bored while I was away and decided to rebuild my ENTIRE COMPUTER. So that took a couple days to get things back on track and back to normal. I only got back online last night. How sad. ANYWAYS. You know you're addicted to the computer WHEN...

"Kiss the chicken, kiss the chicken..."
"No one look! It's dark! No one saw! SOMEONE HELP HER!"
"If I had a little white box to put my girlfriend in..."
"Hey Ugly-Ugly, what are you doing standing up?"
"FLAME ON!"
"But my lips hurt real bad!"
"I totally thought it was a rice cooker."
"WHAT?! I'M CHINESE?!"
"What is this? Girls' night out?"
"Old man strength beats young guy power."


But really. Pre-Teen was so awesome. Even though it wasn't a camp for me and I had to work, it was just amazing to be able to get to know some of the kids from our church and some from other groups and to be able to pray with them. It was facinating watching these kids cry, pray, become saved, confess everything, and then get up and pray with another random kid that they'd never met before in their life. These kids are like, ages 9 to 13. I know that at that age, I would never have had the guts to pray with a total stranger. But these kids are gutsy. It was also the first time I'd prayed using tongues and it was absolutely insane. The messages were awesome too. They were directed for the campers, but I felt that even as a counsellor, some of the messages were good reminders for myself. Gotta go back to basics, y'know?

Anyway, besides the spiritual stuff, the rest of camp was awesome. Sure, it was my first time counselling and I had the biggest girls cabin (TEN GIRLS.) but it was so much fun! Eight of the girls in the ten were from RPC, so I already knew their names, which made things a lot easier. I grew a lot closer to a lot of them which made me happy. Also, Emily and I performed a skit/dance lesson in the style of Napoleon Dynamite for the talent show. So freakin' funny. We couldn't stop laughing afterwards. Also, Nick broke my toe. Not really. I went to the doctor's and he says I've got bronchitis and probably a very, very small hairline fracture in my baby toe. It's a complicated story. Ask Nick. He has more fun telling it. ALSO, I was on the four-way swing and my pants came off. Don't ask. Chris tried to stop the swing, so the swing stopped, my pants stopped, I didn't... it was complicated. But it was funny 'cause I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and I'm not a huge friend of embarassment. So bad combination, but at least it made for good laughs.

We got back on Saturday morning and then I went out that night too. I headed out to the show at West were Sam's band was playing (who, by the way, pretty melted my face off). Then I worked on Sunday, Monday, and today. So I haven't really gotten a chance to seriously rest. My muscles are still stiff. Ow.

But really. It was just so amusing.
