these be dead waters...
man, myo is quiet. tis a shame.


yet another update from the states. its been fun, more or less, here. im still working hard and the weather is still nuts.

last week i got pulled as a counselor for special needs week, which i was really not happy about. I wasnt meant to be doing it, but some other guy decided he really couldnt do it, and i was one of the few male staff members who could do it, so i got pulled. i was pretty angry about it, but in retrospect, it really wasnt that bad a week. i had the older special needers, who pretty much spend all day sleeping, eating and colouring in. thats the gist of it, so it was kinda a relaxing week for me...i still didnt get much sleep though. ^^;

this week its back to normal, although its crazy busy on camp this week. my schedule is flooded, and i also have Late Night campers, which mean im up till gone midnight at least twice this week. i really have to catch up on some sleep.

my 4th of July went pretty well, how did yours go? i know, as a english bloke, that Independance Day isnt really something i should be celebrating, but to be honest, no one in england really gives a shit about America winning their independance from us, so i was happy to join in the festivites. a whole bunch of us went out to watch the fireworks in the nearby town of Chester Town, but it started raining literally as the fireworks were starting, and it started to POUR. Thunder, Lightening, the works...to be honest, the lightening was more impressive then the fireworks. ha ha!

I also went out Friday afternoon (before the rain and the fireworks) to the small, middle-of-nowhere town of Centreville, which is the nearest town to camp. I went with one of my fellow staffers, Mary Collins, and we explored the abandoned derelict railroad tracks that start in Centreville and head out of town. we walked down the tracks a little way, but we weren't sure how far they went, so we stopped after a short distance. I love abandoned industry, especially when it's mostly intact, so i had a whole lot of fun poking around this abandoned rail-raod. it filled me with inspiration, and i took a whole bunch of pictures. one of them is on my deviantart page (link up top). check it out if you have the time.

on saturday a bunch of us went on a WalMart trip. i bought a bunch of DVDs, mostly for everyone to use in the staff lounge, but im gonna be taking them home with me at the end of summer. XD i got Kill Bill vol 1, Pulp Fiction, Casino Royale (007), Casablanca, The Transporter and a few anime dvds too. XD i also ordered a few CDs online. The first one came yesterday, DragonForce "Sonic Firestorm". i've also got the soundtrack to the movie "RENT" coming, as well as the soundtrack to "Kung-Fu Panda" ^^ good times.

so thats pretty much it from me for now. this week is gonna be hectic, and im hoping to catch a few ZZZs this week when i get the time. (it doesnt help im bunking in a cabin whose campers have to be up at 5am to go Crabbing...)
and this friday our staff chaplain (Jonny, who is also an english bloke) has offered to teach people how to ballroom dance, so i might give that a go, good for a few laughs. XD


hope y'all are having a fantastic summer!!!


QUOTE OF THE WEEK: (between myself and Mr .Niles, a ninety-something years old special needer)

MYSELF: "What's up Mr. Niles?"

MR. NILES: "I wonder that myself sometimes..."
