june 1, #3 [ eagles, "take it to the limit"] man todays just been

weird. well it’s 5:30 now, i have an hour and a half tell i _have_ to be anywhere.

i’m supposed to be off doing things now, but i came to hide out in my tent

for a while. smokey’s already threatened to cut off my nuts cause i drove

on his grass. i was told to "drive on back into tent city and unlaod

your stuff" but apparently pete didn’t clear that with smokey, so i got

yelled at for it. well i guess i’m going to head to the ampitheater and see

what’s up there, they were supposed to start working on it around 5. oh i

need some tape. realy badly.

june 2 [fine young cannibals, "good thing"] ok well i’ve got an

hour or so here before supper so i thought i would tell yall what’s been up

in my life since i got here. well last night after i wrote that last update

i went to the ampitheater and worked there they were cutting railroad ties

for the steps, it’s not fun cutting those. i have five blisters on one hand

now and they hurt. then we went and worked in places once the rest of the

staff showed up. my tentie, grant, doesn’t have to move in tell the 8th so

i’ll have the tent to myself over the next week or so. it’s been going pretty

good so far. todays been pretty boring we’ve just been going over all the

rules around camp and been working on getting everyone certified. i had to

get recertified in CPR, that took 5 hours, my god that’s boring and the teacher

guy, he was crazy i swear. and that brings us up to now. it’s 5:11 now and

i have to be at the flags at 5:55 for flag retreat. ya know it’s been really

hard lately. i’m at scout camp, so ya know i can’t check out every guy that

walks past anymore, and it’s hard, there’s so alot of really cute guys on

staff. like the the lakefront director, he’s about 6′ 5" or so, and he’s

got this really boxy face, but he’s fucking ass hot. omg. yeah, i’ll try and

get pics of everyone before the summers over, but ya know i’m not the picture

taking kind and yeah, it would just be weird cause i don’t really know to

many people here. and plus i’m trying to kinda hide out cause i’ve been so

used to just like, saying, hey he’s cute and shit like that and now i’m here

and have to watch what i say really closely. you know what i’ve realiized

is that i always go through more then one song while i’m writing these, but

i don’t really notice it when they change. i’ve gone through three just writing

this one. yep. it’s funny. but ok, so i have to watch what i say, and i’m

affraid that i’ll slip and say something really loud and like, yeah that wouldn’t

be good. i’ve also been thinking that i’ll go ahead and send that letter like

soon, instead of waiting. cause since she knows already. might just as well

as make it official. and plus i don’t think i’ll be able to stay the whole

summer up here. i really don’t think i’ll be able to handle it.

june 1, #2 [foreigner, "feels like the first time"] well here i

am at camp. tony, a total asshole is right across from me in tent city. great.

i’m all moved in. i’m suposed to be looking for pete, but i felt like writing

something real quick. i got an e-mail from someone today, his name is thomas,

and he was down at philmont with me. at least that’s what i’m guessing. he

said that he’s in one of the pictures taht’s on my site and the hint he gave

me "phish" refers to philmont. here’s the pic

he sent me. well there’s actually 8 there, just replace the 01 with 01-08

and you’ll get them all. i dunno who he is, he doesn’t look like anyone in

my pics. at least not that i see. it really freaked me out when i read that.

i was like OMG. but yeah. i also talked to my mom before i left, she said

she found the advocate in my scanner and read that article about steven cozza

and that made her resign, so that’s a good sign. yeah i’ve got more to write

but i feel like i should be places. i’ll write more later today, we have 2

hours of "move in" time when everyone else gets here. i dunno why

he told me to be here so early. but oh well. laters all.

may 31, #4 [steve miller, "swingtown"] ok well i guess i’m not

signing out yet. there was one thing that i had to get off my chest before

i went to camp. and i did it. it was really hard and it took alot of convincing

and thinking about it on my part, but after tonight and spending time with

that person tonight. i just had to do it. i told jules about how i feel towards

him. well i didn’t really go into any real detail, but i just told him that

i liked him. i mean that’s all they are, if i had the opurtinunity i would

date him, but right now that’s all they are, and that’s as far as they’ll

go unless he feels the same way. but yep, it was just something that i had

to do. tonight i really relized that i changed when i was around him. i dunno.

but i saw a change in the way i acted when he was there, and then after he

left. [bsb, "i want it that way"] so yeah. i told him. lets hope

he takes it well. i don’t really mean to hurt him or make him feel uncomfortable

or anything, it was just something that i had to get out. i had to say it.

it wasn’t the best way that i did it, by sending a quick e-mail. but i really

wanted to tell him last night, but he wasn’t anywhere to be found. and i didn’t

get a chance to do it tonight. i’m kinda worried now about how he’ll take

it. and shit cause i know it’s happened to him before, where one of his friends

will have feelings for him, but he doesn’t have feelings for them, and i know

he talks about them behind their backs and i’m scared that he’ll do that to

me. but i mean i don’t care that people know that i have feelings for him,

or else i wouldn’t be writing this, but he makes jokes out of it, and it’s

not something that you should be making jokes with, it’s someone’s personal

feelings and you should respect those. that’s all i want to say on the issue,

i’m tired and tomorrows going to be a long and tiering day. i’ll miss everyone

this summer. i wish i could be around more.

may 31, #3 [savage garden, "crash and burn"] ok this is really

weird i just went up stairs to my room and laying on my bed there was a card,

and the cover read " every passage has it’s beacon. Every shadow has

it’s light, we must therefore keep watch. my friend, keep watch." and

the inside says, "Everything is going to be alright" and then they

wrote "love mom and dad"
