Aug. 20th, 2004 01:17 pmBeen thinking a whole lot about my past, especially camp, these last couple of days. Esp. since seeing Paul on The Next Great Champ.
I loved camp like a fat kid loves fudge. I mean, really. I was...not at all of an athlete or anything. I liked the activities other people didn't (nature stuff, boating) and couldn't stand stuff like go karts. I got messed with a lot, because I was, and am, passive in a lot of ways and don't speak up well. Saying all that....I went to camp every summer from 1986 to 1997. I used to look forward to it so much. I've talked a lot about going back once I get my masters and working there in some capacity or another. No one I know of works there now. Things are different, I'm sure they are...but still. I felt like an outcast back then because I didn't do a lot of the stuff that other people did (when I was 15 or so people started drinking, potsmokin', etc). But I look back and realize how much I was loved and how much I loved other people.
I wouldn't trade those times for anything.
