Wow, so now im in the writing mood, & since I have nothing better to do than read a magazine, play the piano, listen to music, do yard work, or eat rubbery garden beans, then I'll type on here. Not that I interest really interest anyone by doing this, but I think I'll put my obituary that one of my friends wrote for me, & no, she does not hate me or wish me to die, it was just something fun to do. Actually I have two obituaries, both of which I'll include, the one, Miss Ingrid wrote herself, the second we wrote together over email. Enjoy,

Alyssa Marie Nessa died on June 11th 2008 after a traumatic accident. She thought that her life was complete and swung on some swings, a foot in water, into the deeper water, down the stream, got eaten by an alligator in one bite. The alligator was killed and she climbed out, but was so dizzy and scared that she ran into a tree and died.  

So, I am finally ready to finish my amazing camp experience. I am on to Adventure Course on Wednesday. Well, of course once again we were doing the tarp game, which I admit, we never finished. Well, the whole time Will either was holding my hand or had his arm around me, but I'm going to stay off that. You see, I feel bad now, but if you really want to know about that ask me later. So we were standing there, rather bored just letting Shylar figure out how to flip that tarp over, & we couldnt really talk much because then we couldnt hear the leaders, or people that had good ideas, etc. so, we had been singing before. That ended soon though because the only songs we could think of were "Lean On Me" & "Can You Feel The Love Tonight." Well, I think you can understand why we came up with those songs, & if you're as blonde as me its because everyone was so close together that you couldnt tell each other's BO apart & everyone was breathing the same air. So we tried not to sing those either, for the same reasons. But I'm getting off on a rabbit trail (& yes, Mrs. King, I did start a sentence with "but"). So we were standing there bored, & I look over to a little trail & saw a weirdly shaped squirrel, it had like a strange butt, then a part of the tail that was not bushy, with a normal tail after that. So I say "Hey, a squirrel." Well, Rachel, not my sister, thought this was hilarious, well, a few people did. A little while later the squirrel went over to the roadish part & so she goes "Hey, a squirrel." It was quite funny, but you kind of had to be there.

So then later on, for the last night at camp type thing, we had a Gaslight Theatre. Now this is when all the staff members perform little skits, well, one big skit all put together. This was one of the best things we had at camp. I'll start at the beginning & describe most of what I remember. So, this guy starts talking off to the side of the stage, he's the baseball game announcer, & he's doing the pre-game warm up things. Pretty soon a group of cheerleaders come on stage & start doing chears. After a while they introduce themselves, there's the main ones, then a funny one that has this whispery voice & says "I'm Darlene" with kind of the off in a distance dreamy voice. Then of course the ring leader "Im Joline" in the happy, cheary, screachy voice. Well, the announcer keeps getting angry & trying to get them to leave. So Joline goes over to him & says "well, we've introduced ourselves, so you know our names, what's yours?" "I'm Gone Jordan, gone, as in, you should be out of here." So of course they get all upset, but finally leave. Well, then Gone introduces these other guys that come on stage & they do the whole "who's on first skit" which was probably funnier than when Abet & Costello did it. So in between almost every skit the chearleaders come back & try to chear always getting chased away by Gone Jordan. Well, at one point he tries to convince them that there's no chearleading in baseball, but they prove him wrong with the whole "belly itcher" & "homerun" chears. So then he tries to get them to realize that there's no chearleaders, etc. Well, for one of the skits that he introduces, there's an old couple & a funny lady that has a magic bat, & she gets mad because they touched it, & you cant just touch a magic bat. So, she explains the history of the bat to them & lets them know that this bat can tell you anything & exactly what to do. So the couple goes out of the room & we, the audience, chooses a random word. The couple comes back in & are looking at the bat & eventually figure out the word. So there were just a few things like that that were funny, but you almost had to be there. So we were all sad that it was over when it ended, but Ingrid, Annie, & I got pictures with a bunch of people & got them to sign our shirts. So then we had another night where we could go around to the different stations, except they were different things.

So the next day, which was the last morning, was all rainy & icky outside, but we had a fun, yet sad time. The parents or visitors could come in for our final thing, where the staff sang & did cute little skits & things, & then we were going to watch a highlight video at the end. But (yes, I did it again) some type of animal had chewed the wires the night before, so the cables that hooked the computer up to the TV monitor things around the room were not working. Of course I, with a little reminder from Annie, said "It was a squirrel," but not loud enought to disturb anything. So then everyone had a last talk with our leaders & we got our camp pictures, this was with everyone from camp, including counselors & staff in it. Everybody from camp went outside to wait for parents, & it was so sad because we had to say good-bye to all our buddies & friends that we had met. At least we got their email, facebook, numbers, etc. So, we're going back next year, but, that was my camp experience, for those of you that read EVERYTHING. Hope you enjoyed it.
