Employment

Look who got a job!

Come visit me. I'll sell you pizza.

Morp.

Superheroes. We went and saw Avengers for part of the date. Can you guess who we're supposed to be?

Camp

So... maybe we're crazy.

Just a bit.

Okay, maybe a lot.

 Maybe we see pregnant deer, and maybe watch them walk through with their baby a few days later....

 

 

Maybe we write crazy and *slightly* inappropriate remakes of One Direction songs....

And maybe we paint the Bishop's and Bro. Melick's nails...

Maybe we eat plates of fruit while posing for the camera...

And maybe I let Chloe take pictures of me with my cherubic face and my greasy hair...

 

And maybe we take long hikes...

 

 And maybe we go on death-defying high-wire trips just to go zip-lining. 

And maybe we go canoeing in leech infested waters....

Maybe this is Girls Camp...

Advice Bits.

Ladies, (and gentlemen), I am about to tell you something nobody ever bothered to explain to me.

If you are asking somebody on a date,

CALL THEM.

Don't text them.

(Let explain the problem with this to you: People always told me "Follow the Golden Rule. Treat others the way to want to be treated". So, since I actually prefer people to text me rather than to call me, I thought that this was all right. It wasn't.)

Poem 4 U

The Bagpipe Who Didn't Say No by Shel Silverstein

It was nine o'clock at midnight at a quarter after three
When a turtle met a bagpipe on the shore-side by the sea,
And the turtle said "My dearie,
May I sit with you? I'm weary."
And the bagpipe didn't say no.

Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "I have walked this lonely shore,
I have talked to waves and pebbles- but I've never loved before.
Will you marry me today, dear?
Is it 'No' you're going to say, dear?"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.

Said the turtle to his darling, "Please excuse me if I stare,
But you have the plaidest skin, dear,
And you have the strangest hair.
If I begged you pretty please, love,
Could I give you just one squeeze, love?"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.

Said the turtle to the bagpipe,
"Ah, you love me. Then confess!
Let me whisper in your dainty ear and hold you to my chest."
And he cuddled her and teased her
And so lovingly her squeezed her.
And the bagpipe said "Aaooga."

Said the turtle to the bagpipe,
"Did you honk or bray or neigh?
For 'Aaooga' when you're kissed is such a heartless thing to say.
Is it that I have offended?
Is it that our love is ended?"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.

Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "Shall I leave you, darling wife?
Shall I waddle off to Woedom? Shall I crawl out of your life?
Shall I move, depart, and go, dear?
Oh, I beg you tell me 'No', dear!"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.

So the turtle crept off crying and he ne'er came back no more.
And he left the bagpipe lying on that smooth and sandy shore.
And some night when tide is low there,
Just walk up and say "Hello, there,"
And politely ask the bagpipe if this story's really so.
I assure you, darling children, that the bagpipe won't say "No".
