[QUOTE="curlfro"] Not terrible, actually. For the drive there, I listened to music on my PSP and watched the scenery fly by. It was only a 45 minute trip, so I really didn't need anything else. We got the the camp site and set everything up pretty easily.
45 minutes is reasonable with music.
Indeed.
Last time, the campsite we had had a very steep drop from the paved road to the actual site, and we nearly bottomed out. Also, we couldn't get the trailer to go in at the right angle. (So the door isn't facing a mound of dirt.) We unhitched the trailer from the van, and we tried to turn it by hand. (Me, my dad, and my brother. Which, when you add them up equals about 2 1/2 people. My brother doesn't really count. :P ) Well, the front wheel broke (the single wheel right under the latch which keeps the trailer balanced) and the front end dug into the ground. We had to get a heavy-duty jack to get it out, and they we had to recruit several other people to turn the trailer to the right position.
Assistance from strangers and family working together..bleh *not my thing* I'd be tired of the place already.
Luckily that was last year. We got a new site this year.
So yeah, much better this year. I hung around with my ex girlfriend. (Who would have been my current girlfriend, but damn it, she was seeing someone else, and neither of us wanted to risk cheating.) But yeah, we hung out with some other camp members near our age (ranging form 14 - 18 ) We almost had a game of man hunt, but most people couldn't come, and I left REALLY early. We also went to the beach a lot, and hung out at a place called the "pits" which is just an area where they store all of the dirty they've moved, creating huge sand dunes leading up into the woods. We also had to ditch small, annoying children who kept following us by hiding out in the woods and saying we were in the field.
I've never been very interested in dating nor most girls. Eternal has his own interests in them while I have mine. He is decidedly different from me on the matter. I have only one focus and lust doesn't factor in the matter. These children you speak of..What did they think they were doing exactly? What were their approximate ages? (averaged) I'm not sure I'd tolerate the tagging on of children if I had some business I wished to undertake with a friend.
Average was about nine. They only followed us because they want to hang out with the 'cool' kids at the site. So we just said we were going to the field and we hung out in the pits.
I got THREE new Stephen King books. Everything Eventual (group of short stories), The Green Mile (Great book), and Lisey's Store (Not finished yet). I also went to a couple Cape-Cod league games, which are basically a bunch of college students who don't have a baseball team in their college. It is where a lot of the current MLB stars started in.
Big on books aren't you? I still haven't gotten around to a number of things I've been meaning to do. I tend to fill up my time with things born of whims. That is how and when I do things. If I feel I need to do something..I either wait until I feel pumped about it or if possible..I'll arrange motivation to get my spirits up. As far as books go..I'm all about violence but it is hard to keep my attention in a book if it isn't masterfully written...even then the subject matter must interest me to a degree and at least one character must be interesting. "Gates of Fire" suited my tests very much. Being that it worked with Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae..also "300" hadn't come out yet..sort of a place holder as I waited.
I'm only big on GOOD books. As per every year, we're forced to read for summer. "Summer Reading". This year I had a book about rape. And it starred, you guessed it GMG, a 16 year old girl. It was stupid, pointless, and nothing but an overdramatic teenager trying to make something really bad and make it blown so far out of propotion to make it the worst thing that could happen to someone. (Hell, she was still alive. Be thankful for that) . 1. She was drunk as hell. 2. She was already half way through when you decided she didn't want to do it anymore. The other is a book about a SQUARE who feels left out when a SPHERE comes to town. WTF.
Yeah, setting down was a drag. I mostly coralled my little brother around while my parents argued about the best way to put down the awning.
Sounds pretty dull. I'd have practiced wrestling moves (submissions especially) on the little brother or at least told him to GTFO while I lay by myself listening to music.
No, the entire campsite is within eye shot of our site.
All in all, not terrible for a family trip. (GMG, you liked long reads, right?)
I certainly don't mind them so long as they don't fall into a certain type were I feel like I'm reading the incoherent thoughts of a 16 year old girl. There are other variables but I'm not up for devolging all that at the moment.
