Scattered Thoughts

This past week was awesome! The guys that I had in COPE this week were the best guys I've had down there ever. There were some events this week that weren't great, but they are over now and things are back to being awesome.

Erin and I had a bit of a falling out during the middle of the week, which wasn't good. It was probably wose than us breaking up, but we worked our way through it and now are back to normal.

I'm still missing Erin a lot, not necessarily in a relationship sense, but more of a friendship sense. Don't get me wrong, I miss dating her, but that's not the main reason that I miss her; I miss being able to just sit down with her, do something completely ridiculous and laugh at each other. It's the simple things that I miss most.

Wednesday evening, we all stole the weather rock, and by we, I mean not me, BUT I was on the planning committee. For those of you who don't know, the Weather Rock is a rock tied to a tripod that lets you know the weather, i.e. if it's wet, it's raining, if it's swinging, it's windy, if it's gone, there's been a tornado (or, in our case, it's been stolen ). They put it right in front of the flag poles, a simple hiding spot, but it took Luke two hours to find it! He ran all over camp between 2am and 4am looking for the thing. The great part is that the rock sits in Ecology, and Ecology is just a stone's throw away from the flag poles… hahaha

Anyway, it's shower time so I can make it into Steak 'n' Shake for some breakfast. I will post in the LJ sometime this evening or tomorrow evening.

I posted the pictures of the week in The Photoblog.

peace out yo!

Current Music – American Pie – Don McLean
I've been listening to this song a lot lately, and the lyrics are in my head while I'm doing things. There are so many great memories tied up in that song for me, every time I hear it, it's like a trip down memory lane.

Quote of the Day – "He traded slop buckets for stock options." -Jimi while talking about "Unke Gill" and how he saw him in Indianapolis.

Room 6 Moment of the Week
(Luke is humming the song that never ends)
Thad: Oh, Dear God!
Luke: Thad is writing a letter. "Dear God, How are you?"

This goes to Wonton Will for all the times he's rigged a belay system backwards down at COPE. If he could remember what he did wrong each time, he would be able to rig everything right the first time.

Current Mood – – Happy! Does it really need any explanation?

Until the next post…

Ok, so here's the synopsis of my week.

Sunday I wasn't in the best of moods. Checkin was ok and the day didn't get much better. The campfire sucked and we're still hammering out the bugs of the sound system. I start realizing that this summer isn't going to be what I thought.

Monday was an already horrible day and to tell the truth, after Sunday, I wasn't looking forward to it. That evening, in a two hour conversation, Erin told me that she thinks that we shouldn't date this summer because it wouldn't be fair to me. We talked for a long time about it and we both reailzed that was right. So now we're single. There will be more details in the LJ probably after this evening when I get a chance to write in it.

Tuesday was horrible because I didn't sleep Monday night. It rained in the morning and in the afternoon so EVERYTHING was wet. I HATE the Ransburg Damp. I spent some of Tuesday night in the Health Lodge chillin' and helping them out where I could.

Wednesday was the shortest day of the week because I was looking forward to getting away from camp. John and I chilled around town just running errands and eating dinner. That night, I talked to Jess about "the breakup" and started feeling better about things.

Thrsday was the first "nice" day of the week and started out that it wasn't going to be too bad. I say "nice" because it rained around 4:45pm, so the evening was full of more damp… There were some things that happened that won't be talked about here that made me start not wanting to deal with people anymore. I wanted to become a hermit. Then I talked to Erin for about an hour and a half just about life in general. It was good and put me in a much better mood. I really do miss her a lot and can't wait until she comes down to visit.

That brings us to Friday… Hopefully things will be good today and I won't have to worry about stupid people.

Song of the Day – Camping (I think that's the title) – Crash Test Dummies

Darwin Award of the Week Beginning June 13, 2004
Again this one goes to me. I ran the Mule 550 out of gas last night in a creek while transporting some equipment from the Pole Climbing back to COPE and the Tower. Yea, that was special.

Current Mood – – A bit depressed but that will go away with some time. Hopefully things will start looking a lot better.

That's all…
Until the next post, which will be soon now that I have a computer online at camp
