Kirstone in the U.S.A

Been having a ball at camp recently. Just finished the final of our great Lip Synching extravaganza tonight. The kids did things like Backstreet Boys, Chicago, Hairspray, etc etc. The only counsellors to perform were, of course, me, Zeb, J & Mayaan. The Responsibily Ridiculous Counsellors of Bunk 52. We did Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and it was just so much fun. We called ourselves the Queen Mimes, dressed in black, painted our hands white and put funny little drawings on our faces in liquid eyeliner. Our dance lasted the whole entire song, all 5 minutes & 55 seconds, and the kids seemed to get a real kick out of it. If I can remember it when I get back I'll show all of you. LOL!

My day off was pretty freaking sweet!!! Australian counsellor Briar & Kiwi counsellor Nikki managed to borrow a car from an American and took me along with Israeli counsellor Katia into Milford. We shopped. At crappy places. Managed to spend about $140- Oh dear. But got 2 pairs of sh orts, 2 tank tops and 2 t-shirts. One of which says "I'm a Jeans n t-shirt kinda gal," which was highly appropriate for the dance that night. lol. But I also managed to buy a pair of sunnies, coz i left the brand new pair I bought at Melbourne airport at LAX when they had to use the wand on me when I made the metal detector go off. So I have sunnies now. Yay. And more clothes.
We wanted to go see the new Harry Potter movie but the Milford theatre only shows one film and it was some Ratatouille thing or something. I dunno. It was too late in the day to drive into Middletown so we figured screw it. We went to the diner and ate REAL food on REAL plates with REAL cutlery. I also ate roast pork. Hahahha. After that we managed to get our hands on some $6 vodka. Very gross. Tasted like metho. Ewwwwwww. But daaamn. So good. hehehe. Naughty me, I know. But smeh. Gotta bend the rules sometimes. Especially the stupid ones. Bloody 21 my butt!
Dunno what we're doin' next day off. Hopefully going into Middletown to see Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix.

I've told the kids that they can't tell me anything about the final Harry Potter book when it comes out or else they have to sleep on the porch with no mattress or bug spray. LOL!

it's almost the end of first session, which means heaps of our campers are leaving and we'll be getting new ones in! It's both sad and also very very good coz some of the campers, by gum, I wanna smack em.

That reminds me! It was VIsiting Day on Sunday. Oh. My. God. You understand the kids SOOOO much more after you meet their parents!!!! I was stuck directing cars all day. In the hot sun and then in the pouring rain. I swear the weather is just like home. But yeah, some of the drivers got very irate when I was telling them where to park. It was very, very insane.

But yes, on changeover day - between sessions that is, I'll hopefully get to go to Hershey's. Yes, Hershey's the chocolate company have an amusement park. Why? I dunno. Sounds bloody stupid to me, but I like chocolate and I like roller coasters so fun should be had if I get to go.

The kids in my bunk are really excited coz they have an Organised Bunk Hop tonight. Basically it means that instead of bunk hopping in the dead of night while everyones asleep (usually to see boys), we've organised to let them have a bit of a sleepover with a boys bunk with counsellors present on the soccer field. They were bouncing off the walls when I left.

Oh god, on Visiting day the parents brought so much candy & stuff. We ate ourselves crazy. I have the most hillarious photos.

Speaking of photos, I'm hoping to go into the Milford library and post my photos then. It takes a long time to upload so I'll see how it goes.

Anyways, people are gettin' a bit antsy for their turn on the computer. Which is understandable, coz 20 minutes is just not enough time.

I'll update as soon as I can.

Lots of love & kisses to everybody!
