BANANARAMA
Don’t ask...



Heya folks. Tis another blog with lots of piccies and stuffs.

This week has been…productive…I guess. I'm currently working on my Halloween art piece, as well as several other projects.

This week I finished watching Outlaw Star. It’s a really good anime, an older classic. If you get the chance you should watch it. ^^ now I know why Living Doll liked it so much. ^^

And I have managed to acquire myself a JOB INTERVIEW!! w00t w00t! its for an Outdoor Activities and Climbing Store in London that’s just opening, and I got an interview on Tuesday to work as a sales assistant. ^^ wish me luck! ^^

Anyways, onto the pics…. There are tonnes! ^^ remember, these aren’t in any order and if you want the full Darke experience, hover the cursor over the pic to read the alt text (might not work on all computers).

Here we go!




Tubing! The most fun I had on one single activity on camp. Its like flying, kinda… only really close to the water…



The infamous Incline Log on the challenge course…its much easier if you are a small person.



My week 2 campers: adventure camp…



A “low element” on the challenge course: the dreaded turtle crossing. Much easier when you’re allowed to have your eyes open or allowed to speak… he he he…



An outside college group tangles with the 3D spiders web. Heh heh heh… “Tangles.” Getit? ROFLMAO



This is from AFTER camp when I went to visit my dear dear friends in Tennessee. We were driving towards Knoxville and I saw these crazy towers in the mist and it looked like they were floating. ^^



This is my luxurious closet of a hotel room in New York City, which cost me a little over 1300 dollars for three nights stay. Well, it was the end of the summer holiday season. It was indeed very small, but it had a bed, a bathroom and a TV…what more did I need?



This is the USS something-or-other berthed in Baltimore Harbour which I visited along with two of my friends from camp…we had dropped a friend off at the airport and spent the rest of the day in Baltimore city, and we saw this submarine there and my Hungarian friend just HAD to go on, and my other friend and myself thought it would be a laugh so we went on it.



This is one of many friends I made on Camp. This photo was taken at the Staff Dinner we had at the end of the summer. This is Andrea. She is crazy.



Baltimore Aquarium



Baltimore Inner Harbour



This is Demitri, or Dem, or Dima. He is from Russia, and is a REALLY nice guy. ^^ He drove the tractor a lot.



Looking down 5th Avenue NYC.



My week 8 (and week 2, believe it or not) co-counsellor Erica Heitchew, and a bowl of chocolate pudding. On her head. The campers did it. I let them.



This was during the last week where we had a whole bunch of outside college groups come in and use the challenge course. This cheerful bunch are my co-facilitators. Loretta (centre) has been going to Camp Pecometh as a staff member for 9 years. She’s also REALLY nice. ^^



This is at Liberty University where I went after camp to visit some friends. I even attended classes! This was a college football game in which all my friends were involved somehow. The half time show was pretty impressive actually…



The “Blue Ford” lawn mower. Loud, vibrates your guts to liquid and awkward to drive. But so much fun. XD



The very lovely Julia Robinson, at staff dinner.



Oh Pat… *shakes head* This is Pat and Karen, who were permantly on the Challenge Course all summer…Pat was in charge and Karen was his assistant…poor Karen… Seriously though, these guys were fantastic and the weeks I spent working with them during the summer were the best times I had all summer.



A monochrome picture of Karen. Y’know. Cuz.



The wonderful Kate Howell, pool manager and crazy person extraordinaire…



Katie Scott and Megan Baker. Wisconsinites. Need I say more?




I know that I’ve said a lot of people were nice (and they all are) but if I were to give an award for the nicest person, Kelly Rose (that’s her first name btw. Yes. Both bits.) would be up there in the top three. Insanely super nice…



Levi. Submarine. Some pictures don’t need a caption…



Jess Howie, Canteen and Gift Shop Manager. ^^



Jordan Foltz. Imagine famous comedian Dane Cook, but hairier and built like a brick wall. That’s Jordan.



The irrepressible and one-of-a-kind guy that is Juju.



The awesome Julia Minei. There were a few Julia’s, a few Megan’s and a whole bunch of Sarah’s, so things got confusing the first few weeks of camp…



Our awesome lil golf-karts we got to cruise around in if we were working maintenance or Challenge Course duty. They weren’t the fastest things in the world, but who cares?



A church nestled between the skyscrapers in New York



More monochrome college antics



I actually sat through the whole game. Go figure…




The glass towers at Columbus Circle, 59th street and central park west, New York City.

And last but not least for today…



The Chesapeke Bay Bridge, which links West Shore with East Shore Maryland. Its quite an impressive structure.


That’s it for today folks, we’re about half way through my pics. I’ll post some more up later this week, or if I don’t, you’re gonna have to wait a while. Next week (as it just so happens) my family are going on Holiday to a little beach town called Weymouth. So I’ll be away (again) but only for a week this time.

I’ll leave you with yet another Chibi Darke Comic. w00t!



Ok, this one might need a little explanation. ^^;;; basically, “The Big Issue” is a genuine magazine publication that is given to homeless people to sell on the streets of London(and apparently Australia, according to Wikipedia). It’s a professional publication that the homeless buy for really cheap, then sell it to the public for a reasonable amount, thereby generating their own source of income. However, the Big Issue is full of CRAP, so barely anyone buys it, and the streets of London are still filled with homeless people. What can ya do?

This has been Darke Angel. “The More You Know…” XD


Toodles.
