Sorry about the long absence of posts, but I was gone for a while and then for a while I did not have access to the internet. Wait. I'm not sorry. You bitches just have to WAIT damnit.
anyway, for a week, ok not really just 5 days, I was in Colorado attending a family reunion. It was fun, got to see many family members in various states of distress. (they all have small children) But here's the thing. Our reunion was at a YMCA camp. An Especially religious YMCA camp (I know the YMCA is a religious organization, but usually its pretty tame)Anyway, for 5 days I was surrounded by freakos.now I don't mean any disrespect to those believers who may read my blog, but these people probably reach sexual climax while reading the bible. Adding to my discomfort was the fact that this camp was at 9000 feet. My sister says there was 43% less oxygen there than at sea level (and since she's lived in Europe, I believe her)so it was difficult to breathe, making it that much harder to run from the guitar wielding Christians (like hell I'm going to a sing along worship service.) at my most desperate, I seriously considered running naked through the woods shouting the praises of some earthy pagan goddess,but luckily it never came to that. Fortunately my relatives never realized just how strange I can be and so we got along fine, I even went white water rafting. (actually I'd say it was a bit more like egg shell rafting. It was kinda tame) but overall I had fun, and a moderate amount of fun is all one can hope for at such a....reverent camp.
