| -Alrighty. So kat asked me if I wanted to go with her and boyfriend on this retreat. Seeing that I dislike religion I was very weary about going but in the end decided any weekend camp with my close friends would be fun. Because kat's boyfriend was also coming we needed a male companion for him because we didn't want him to be all alone in the bunk at night since girls and boys are obviously seperated. We called everyone and no one wanted to go, so I invited a theatre friend, Michael. Michael's mom is very religous (like Kat's) and he has to go to so many retreats to achieve communion so he unwillingly agreed to come. We got out of class early, an entire class period, kat's mom came to get us. We drove for two hours and had great fun al the way there except for when we stopped to get some of the best beef jerkey(which we lived off of at camp) ever. The place was scary. We walked in and there huge dead animals all over the walls. The place was a freakin taxadermy. Wolves, mountain lions,black bears, polar bears, and even Bison! It was scary and sad, and I held my teddy bear close as not to let him see the horrid things around. We all went in the little nasty batheroom while Kat tried to painfully put her nose ring back in. No success :( Then we left. We kept driving and we came upon the camp. It looked normal enough, until we pulled down this long drive and there were all these kids in leather jackets standing there, waving....smiling. it was a little too happy. So we get out and walk in to the biggest pre-fab building. it seems as if everyone is staring at us. WHAT THE HELL! So we get signed up with Kat's mom (nicest lady). Then we took the boys to their pre-fab "cabin". Our cabins we're basically made of concrete, aluminum, and particle wood. Anyways, then we went to our " cabin' thingy. There was another group of people hwo hadn't really come in a "group" there was a just a few of them in theirs so myself, Kat and her mom stayed in their little room. The bunkbeds smelled and had all sorts of "good graffiti on them. There were things like " god loves all" and "jesus forgives" it was rather amusing. Then we went to go eat some dinner back at the main messhall/ big pre-fab building which we later found out is a college. ???? yeah, that's what we said. SO we get there and go through the little line thingy and they are servin gross green cheese pizza that made us all sick later. So we were still hungry after word because no one ate it. Then we had to go to this "little" orientation. Well little my ass. It was 4 hours long! and it wasn't even orientation it was a fricken church service! And you had to stanmd almost the entire time. I mena I'm lazy but still; 4 hours is a long time to stand! SO then after that we had free time for like 2 hours. They lengthened curfew since the service thing ran over like 2 hours! so we had to go in at 12:00. The wierdest thing did happen though. I was stadning next to kat's mom by a bon-fire cuz it was freezin out, and a white dove flew over us in the middle of the night. And i don't usually beleive in religous miracle crap like that but, I saw it with my own eyes. It's not like I'm gonna convert or somethign but that is pretty freaky. |
