Camp Entry (Cont'd) 6/29/2001
Me, the Queen of Darkness, Gretchen, and Suzy were watching out kids while they were taking swim lessons. It was the three of them on one side of the pool, with me on the other. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I thought they were talking about me. One of the directors came up to the girls and pointed to me. They were all talking for a little bit. Then the woman called out to me and introduced herself. (First, if she wanted to know who I was, and if you wanted to introduce herself, why didn't she just come over to me?? Whatever...) What bothered me is that even after the woman left, the three beauty queens continued to nudge each other and look at me. I'm probably being paranoid, but it bothered me anyway. If I were 20 pounds lighter, would they have asked me to come and sit with them instead of talking about me? I'm not huge; I'm 5'3" and 130 pounds. Even still, I was one of the larger girls in the camp.
I like my kids for the most part. They're very rowdy, especially the boys. The really didn't listen to me unless I yelled. They walked away from me when I told them not to. But they were so cute...They didn't mean to be bad, they were just being boys. After surviviing two brothers, I understand that. The two girls were angels. I wanted to wrapt them up and take them home with me. One was named Jackie; she was the tiniest six year old I'd ever met. She was the baby of the group. She had this beautiful long, brunette hair, and eyes to match. She wore this cute little glasses and ugh!! I just wish I could adopt her! She was SO cute!!! She wouldn't talk too much in the beginning though. The other girl is named Trisha. She's seven, and much taller than Jackie. I honeslty didn't believe Trish would make it through the day. By the first activity she was asking me if she could call her mom. I went to Dina's office with her to use the phone, but Dina wasn't there. Ken saw me walking with her later and asked me what was going on.
Ken makes me very nervous. He's like, seven feet tall and very bulky. He just scares the hell out of me, even when he smiles. Dina's kind of bitchy, but she's much smaller, so I can handle her.
Anyway, after stammering and stuttering, I managed to tell Ken what was going on. He thinks I'm an idiot; I saw it in his face.
I was proved wrong though. Trish stayed for the entire day. By the second activity, Trish had come back. She became fast friends with Jackie, and they soon became partners in crime. (Their favorite activity was splashing me).
All in all, the day went alright. I didn't maim, kill, or lose any children (although I was tempted to strangle some of my boys during the day). I haven't fought with any of the counselors yet. Emphasis is put on the "yet." :o) I got sunburned in some really odd places. I forgot to put on sunscreen, which I am now suffering the consequences for; especialy because I'm so pale. I had my towel covering my legs, except for the front upper portion of my right leg. My entire leg is pale except for the right triangle from my knee to my thigh. My collarbone and chest got burned, but my neck and face didn't. The tops of my arms are pink, but under thm, it's also still very white. My back didn't get any color at all. I think I may got suntanning tomorrow and even all of the color out so I don't look like a total freak :o)
