POST 400!!!!!

Ah, the legacy of the blog. 400 posts guys! :D

Well, I have returned to the real world (aka: Home). And I'm kinda ready to go back... Idk. I can't really describe VAMPY to anyone who hasn't been there... But just think of a place where everyone's a nerd and everyone is odd... 'Tis a world where weird becomes normal. And it's just amazing.

There, it's not odd to see someone walking around dressed up in some outfit or people running around in a gorilla suit... 'Tis fun, tis fun....

I guess I'm all sentimental this year because it's my last year going to VAMPY, and though I can keep in touch with my friends, there aren't many that I'll see again. You really get close to people when you live with them for three weeks.

Every year, after the Talent show (which consists of clever songs and thinly-veiled sex jokes) there's this thing called "Cryfest" where everyone says their goodbyes, and yes, many cry. See, I've never actually cried at one of these because, as you know, I don't cry in public places... At all, really.

But this year, I was crying. Like, really crying. Not the teary-eyed crying from watching a sad movie. Practically bawling. And hugging everyone I knew as well.

That camp's just like a home away from home for a lot of people. People that, unlike me, don't have a whole ton of nerdy friends back home to hang with and feel like they fit in.

Idk.

Thankfully though, I have you guys here. ~hugs digitally~ So I'm alright. I had a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be home for a bit. I'll hang out, then go off the SC with Braden! ~high fives~ And then I'm home again until Aug 22nd, when I move out for good.

Kinda. I mean, I'll be back to visit you all and you'll be up to visit me. But times are changing...

Oh yes they are...

On a brighter note, I learned something amazing at nerd camp that I'm going to have to share with you guys at some point. Not at my house, since my mom doesn't like energy drinks... And essentially, this stuff is energy drink moonshine. ~grins widely~ And that's all the hints that you're getting...

Here's a conversation I had with someone after a couple of us had had a few glasses. TOTALLY UNEDITED IN ANY WAY! (except for the first part where I set the scene and don't really remember exactly what was said...)

Miriah: Athena gave me a drunk test!
Me: And you're not drunk? ~giggle~
Davey: What'd she have you do?
Miriah: I am not drunk!!! She just had me say my ABCs and stuff-
Me: ~starts singing loudly~ ABCDEFG!!!!
~breaks off laughing~
Me: OH CRAP! What comes next!?!?!?

I wasn't even kidding... T'was hilarious. To the "drunk" me, at least. Even though there was no alcohol involved... (okay, so that's another hint)

Anyways, I LOVE VAMPY! And I hope that Gatton will kinda be like VAMPY in a way... But with more of you guys around.

Hopefully, we can get together as soon as possible. I get the feeling that we all need to talk. Sleepover, anyone? I is planning a party in the coming month... So we shall see what we can get away with, no?

Love you all!
