Fun with campness!

(Written August 26th)

You know, I thought just having a white arm and a nice tanned arm was bad. Now I actually had red tiger stripes on BOTH. <.< You know how odd this looks? Cuz..yeah. It's funky. It looks like someone beat me with a 2x4.

"I am the box ghost!!"

Awww, I have no more milllllllk. Sadness for me. Awwwww. But I still have the rest of this cookie! COOKIE. That's darn right, I gots a cookie! Come to the dark side; we have cookies!

So. Nine PM TR night. Woke up. Waffle party. Work. Hahah, work. All I'm gonna say about it is hahahahaha. Mission. Temple. Drove to New Harmony; got camping gear. Drove home. Made Danielle mad at me. Was dead as a board. Snore on floor for an hour after watching Sleeping Beauty. Karen tripped over me. Bought fishing liscence at Wallyworld. -_- Moo! Got campness stuff ready.

Wallyworld again. ^.^ *Triple panda dance*

Drrrrrrrrrrrooove. Preetttty mountains!! Drove right waaaaay. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ Saw waterfalls, pretty things, felt pure and cleaner. passed meadow where we saw Mr Bear that one night long ago, and drove...saw lava bed stuff! Had to stop. Went and looked, ooooo. Got to duck creek campgrounds, quack! We rumbled around, paid for the thing, and then, ah, we got change and went back and THEN it was time for the fire. I had to find some moola, since I only had my checkbook, and I wasn't sure if they'd take checks for the firewood.

Zomgosh.

I got out my axe.

And began to hack away.

Yes, my axe!

It was kinda fun.

Actually, it was more along the lines of extremely hilarious. I felt like Paul Bunyon.

Boy, I had a LOT of pine sap. In fact, I had a lot of pine sap in general. Anyway, we cut, burned, our eyes watered, hahaha. But WE GOT IT GOING. And then I bought wood, cuz Nonamei checked to see if I could pay by check and yeppers, I could. ^_^ *Drool smile*

I wanna play Celtic music. *Puts on Celtic music and closes door*

*listens to the Foggy Dew*

So totally back to what I was saying...

once I remember what I was saying...

We put on teh firewood. Then, I wrapped up some potatoes in foil and shoved them in the coals. ^_^ Then we got to play with the lantern because it was getting late and the light had quite faded. So we sat there, banging it, cuz it just didn't want to stay closed. (The battery connection part.)

Then we had to go to the Little girl's room, and we tried to take off the stuff from the table and the lantern went out and I handed Nonamei my axe and we set it on top of it to balance it, since we had it upside down, and it worked! Yeah, so, there was an axe on the lantern. An axe perfectly balanced, blade down, on top of the lantern. It was great!

When we got back, we decided we'd make hot chocolate. So we poured water in the dutch oven I got from me mummy and set it in the fire along with more pine cones. We set out the sleeping bags...

*Spaces out listening to Seacht Suailci Na Maighdine Muire*

...and we went looking for some sticks. Actually, that was before the little Girl's room. Whatever. Anyway, we sat down on the bags. I was sitting and roasting some hot dogs on the fire after I found mah roasting stick. I shared with Nonamei, and we listened to some music she had that was sooooo cool. Jazz. Very arianic.

*Spaces out again, with music and posting on WereHollow*

We sat, laughed, and ate marshmallows and talked. (I love watching marshmallows bubble when they're on fire! Yum!)

I love Celtic music....

And night.

*Listens to Iona*

Then it was time to try the chocolate. Now, earlier, hahaha, some...pine...branches and other...debri ended up in the pot. *Snortgigglegiggle* So after using the axe to take it up on the grill from the fire, we grabbed some cups and dug in...

Every couple of sips I had to spit a branch or needle out...

It was...interesting.

Hahha, really interesting. But it didn't taste bad! It was just...chocolate bark. We decided to call it that because it was simple, and Nonamei was like, "Just call it what it is! Chocolate bark!" *Rotfl* It also had a sort of pine sap taste to it. Now if only you could sip it without using your teeth as a strainer....

That and it was hot!

We took out the potatoes and sprinkled salt on them and just enjoyed the potatoes. They were hot, but good~!

Afterward we read scriptures after crawling into our bags. We were squashed. lol! My behind was freezing. The rest of me was okay. So we were quite...tightly snuggled in. Nonmei said her arms were T-rex arms, har har har! We cracked jokes and laughed, especailly when it came to the chocolate bark. We looked at the stars, talked about the North Star, and tried to get comfy. Tried. And tried again. Eventually, I'm like, "Let's just go in the car already!" (Nonamei was worried about the black bears. *Rolls eyes*) I was in pain from being so...restricted, as I'm a very sprawl-y sleeper and I have to have my space.

So we slept in the car, cracking more jokes, and eventually we fell asleep. I woke around dawn to see the windows all fogged up. I drew a smilie face on the window, then went back to bed. I probably woke around ten o'clock and opened the door, cuz I was feeling hot. There was a nice breeze. Mmm! Cool and fresh!

We started a new fire. We were gonna go fishing then, but we ended up putting out the fire and eating Cheezits, then driving over to Navajo lake. Thereupon which we sat there trying to figure out how to cast. Eventually we moved over to the dam and after my first cast was beautiful and I had to real it in for some reason...while we were doing hangman's noose nots. And I couldn't cast the second time.

Of course, there were other fisherman there..and one of them began to make comments over there in the peanut gallery!

Me: *Swing* Aaaaahh! *It goes...five ft, maybe.*

Guy: Oh! Gonna go a little farther next time?

Me: *Swinging it back like a bat and trying to not get things tangle...throws! And...three ft away...*

Guy: Need a little more spit in that one!

Me: Aaah! *Tries...again!!*

Guy: Now watch..the line is gonna snap...

Nonamei: Yeah, probably!

Guy: *Walks over and out of pity, shows me how then smiles and walks back, watching me*

I got it then. Hahahahahaha!

We fished for a couple hours. Fish came. Fish bit. FISH GOT AWAY. Many hours later, after many rock throws, we went home and dropped some stuff off at the dumpster. Problem? My wallet ended up on the top of the car, it fell off on road, big mess, etc etc etc. We got home, I took shower, etc, helped with Kelly's computer, etcetcetc. Life was good.
