Nerd Camp

Listening to the bell tower reminds me of sitting in the shade of a tree with my friends Suzanne, singing Beatles' songs. We'd sing very loudly and very off key, but still didn't stop. There's always be a light breeze every now and then, which did no good when the sun was so close to the earth.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES I THINK SHOULD BE INCLUDED AT VAMPY:
-Candy eating/making. The making part so that I could eat a lot of candy in the future.
-Bracelet making so I could actually do something cool for once.
-Rockah writing.
-Capture the magic.
-Beatles' yellow submarine, where all you do is sing Beatles' songs.

I really dislike when people sign up for an optional, then go there and do NOTHING. You get to chose the activity you would like to do, but it's mandatory that you actually do it. I try to involve those kinds of people but sometimes it just doesn't work.

OTHER THINGS I DISLIKE:
-Multitasking, because I can't do it.
-People who think they know everything pr think they are better than everyone else.
-Hypocrites.
-Being touched. I flinch a lot.
-Nosy people.
-Anticipation, I'm not patient.

The very composition book I'm writing in now was read by someone who didn't ask to read it. A group of people picked it up and read it because they just couldn't help themselves. Invasion of people's privacy is very rude. Their life is THEIR life. After I had found out what they had done I smacked them on the head with the very composition book I'm writing in now.

For a camp, there is a lot of drama. Not just between the campers, but the camp counselors too. It's sad that people that come from all over the world because they are all very smart, still judge each other just so that they can feel better about themselves.

It seems common for all the people here to do something weird, that you wouldn't normally do in the real world. One of the kids here wears goggles on his face everywhere he goes, everyday. But that doesn't make him and less smart. Another kid is only 10 years old and he's just as smart as the rest of the kids. Everyday someone will ask, "Why do you do that?" Obviously, they do it because they want to, or because they like to. I like the fact that everyone here is either unique or different in their own way.

GAMES COMMONLY PLAYED AT VAMPY BUT PLAYED NO WHERE ELSE:
-Mao
-Monocle game
-Darts
-Magic the Gathering
-Capture the flag

What I love most about VAMPY is that you can just be yourself. Yes, some mean things happen, but for the most part people are very nice and understanding. It shows everyone that they're not alone, and that the world isn't always so cruel.
