Did anyone notice that today is 6 months till Christmas? Just a thought…
One essay done, one to go! I have till the end of the week…this should be no problemo at all. This past essay was on suspense, and discussing how the author sustains suspense in the story “Leiningen versus the Ants”. If anyone’s ever seen the MacGyver (season 1 or 2 I think) where he’s on a plantation in Brazil, and the plantation is attacked by killer ants (like, 20 square miles of huge ants), this story is so similar to that show that I’m guessing the MacGyver was based on this story. Anyways…it’s really creepy…but it’s a good story if you ever get a chance to read it. I think the next essay I’m going to write will be Using examples from Don Quixote and other sources, defend this statement: “You are what you read”. That should be fun. Enough about essays and school and all that yucky stuff… 
Camp is in about 2 and a half weeks…and I’m so excited…for one very big reason in particular. I GOT A NEW TENT!!! lol You may be thinking, “why is she so excited about getting a new tent??”. Well…you’d understand if you’ve seen my old tent. It’s a teeny tiny green and white 3′x4′ tent that is about 3 1/2′ tall. Yup…(well at least that’s what it feels like). My mattress curls up the sides of it and I feel like I’m sleeping in a hammock, even though I’m laying on the ground. I’ve been in that thing for two years now…and it was getting slightly annoying. I got kicked out (well more like I left) the other tent we have, cuz my brother snores…and also it’s too crowded, even though it’s a huge tent. Air mattresses tend to take up a ton of room. So I got this blue and orange 7′x9′ dome tent. It’s sooo much better…and the picture looks nice. 
I haven’t set it up yet…I don’t want to take it out of the bag until we go camping just in case I can’t get it back in. lol I’m a bit challenged when it comes to fitting tightly compacted things into small bags and stuff like that…well I guess everyone has that problem. So now I’ll be able to put my mattress lengthwise, instead of diagonally. 7′ is more than long enough for my mattress…and 9′ is even bigger. lol I’m so happy . I know it’s just a tent…but when you’ve had to sleep in a puny little tent (and don’t have room to even stand up bent completely in half…and don’t have room for anything besides your mattress and sleeping bag…), well you appreciate getting a new tent. So that’s my exciting news of the day. Whoohoo right? Yeah…
The Virtual Voice is out…finally. Take a look. http://amdec.mycourses.ca/virtualvoice/index.html My story is under the “Life” tab, and it’s called And the winner is… The same story is in the PACE Yearbook, but with a slightly different ending. It took them long enough to get the VV published 
but it looks pretty good now…I haven’t had a chance to read through everything, but I’ll try to do so when I have more time…1 more essay!! lol
I just saw my mom head upstairs with a box of macaroni and cheese and a head of cauliflower…very odd. I think I’m going to go and see what she’s planning on doing with those two ingredients…I suppose cauliflower mac’n'cheese would be interesting…
You’re going camping in a few weeks? Cool, where to?
We can’t tell you *looks around*…somebody might be watching…
Middle of nowhere…outhouses…1 shower for 100 people…it’s great fun. Oh and there’s a river…
Could be anywhere right?
Yup. And last year, there was soposedly leaches in the lake….I think that it was a scam…to make people go the the creek. Hey L, do you want to go the creek this year?? We hav’nt gone for like, how many years now?? Was the last time we went the time when we were going back to the campgrounds and a thunderstorm started, and Gabriel fell…wait..more like rolled down the hill and like, almost broke the arm that she already broke??
lol Yeah I think that was the year. Although I think I went more recently without you. And it’s Gabrielle…not Gabriel. She’s a girl.
The leeches were real…I saw them…and Matt got one. Remember? And he pulled it off (bad idea) and then it looked like it got under his skin..cuz he had this big red mark that kept getting bigger…it looked like the leech was travelling down his leg…it was gross…lol (I hope Sammy doesn’t read this…lol He’ll get very dizzy I think…
)
Which Sammy?
Mr. Admin? Sammy? Mr. Samuel? Sarnuial? Luci? Lucky? Luciano? Formerly Nigel? Yeah…him.
I see. Can he not stand the sight of blood?
Nope. He can’t even stand the sight of the word blood
.
Thats narsty.
But, he managed to read through that comment with no averse effects…
Seriously dudes, it’s not *that* bad
— Samuel
What’s not that bad?
His aversion to blood isn’t that bad. I understand, Samuel
Thats bad.
OK..this is like, so cool…I just uploaded an avitar!

I don’t get it…
Click on the link…it’s a link to the Wikipedia article on Kronk. Sammy’s being nice and is trying to help you…
I did…thing that I don’t get is what on EARTH do I have in comen with Kronk???
Aw great, now the movie is ruined forever! You’ll never have full appreciation of the character! You’ve missed all the character development! It’s like reading an article about someone instead of meeting them! Ok that last one was a bit overly dramatic! But still you should watch the movie!
I think I have. Is it the one about that guy that gets turned into a lama?? Its a very funny movie…
*groans at Geoffrey’s ignorance* you do realize you’ve been begging us to tell you about a movie you have already seen, right? Men…They’re all alike! (quote)
I didn’t know what it was called…
@Pivotman: Well if you’ve seen it…how come I haven’t?
I donno….
Directed at Geoffrey: Twit
and I mean that in the most loving and affectionate way possible.
Oh, thanks, thak you very *types in a sarcastic way* much for saying that.
