It's been a while since my last update, so I suppose I owe you all a super-long-update-of-doom™ Yes.

Went to see the psychiatrist on friday before camp, and was confronted by three of my worst fears all at once. The doctor I saw had been in a car-accident and was pretty badly scarred on his face and one arm, as well as having a prostetic arm and his real hand having all the fingers welded together. Dismemberment/disfigurement has always been a huge fear of mine, though I usually manage to swallow it as best I can and treat people who've experienced it like everyone else. However, when confronted with it while in a hospital seeing a doctor (both being HUGE fears of mine) left me fighting myself not to cry the entire time.

Camp went well. The girls all had a lot of fun, even though the heat was disgusting (it went up to about 40ish C/105ish F after humidity) and there were a lot of mosquitos. One highlight of the trip was the water fight with the other leaders in the kitchen. ^^


Uh, lots of work as always. I'm making fewer dumb mistakes while there. :P Bought myself a Polyphonic Spree CD when I got off yesterday. It also came with a free CD attached, so that made me muy happy.

And, y'know, maybe my doctor's right. Maybe I am somewhat stressed. I just realized the 9 things I have to do today.

Oh! And I've now got a permanent account. Yay. :D I've wanted one for a very long time. But now I need to pick 100 icons. >.> This could take some effort.


Ok. Maybe that wasn't as long as it could have been, but I've forgotten what else I wanted to say. Probably wasn't that important. Umn. But I will do a picture post for everyone who's been whining at me for one as soon as I decide I'm not ugly. Yes. Give it a couple days, that opinion changes with my mood.

Which reminds me of one of the things I wanted to say! On my last day of camp, I stayed up for the open house for the campgrounds to help give people tours and the first thing Coco asked me when I ran into her was if I'd lost any weight. I admitted I'd lost a bit because I'd been sick, but it wasn't much. Flicker was nearby and agreed with her that I looked really good like I'd lost some weight. That made me smile. I was also talking with some other guide leaders in my area the other day and they did not believe I weighed what I did. They both guessed my weight at 20lbs lighter than I am. o.o; Crazy, huh? My body is soooo fucked up.

If only we could just take off some of my weight and give it to you, huh? :P

And it doesn't matter if I'm actually ugly or not. I feel like it right now.

*adds you to the list of people asking me for one*

I lived... I always do, no matter how horrid they are.

And camp is like... one of my most favourite things in the entire world. I get to go out and just be a big kid. It's great.

That is way too hot. Ew. Humid is even worse >.< I'd rather it was dry heat. It sounds like you had a good time though, I'm glad.

It was pretty gross, but I really don't mind that type of weather as long as I keep properly hydrated.

yay for upcoming picture post.

i sort of know what you mean- people nearly always guess that i weigh about 30-40 lbs less than really am. it is strange...

It makes me wonder where the weight is hiding, since it's not exactly like I've got lots of muscles or anything like that.

:) Good job on facing your fears.... Disfiguration is a phobia of mine, too... And I know it's completely irrational, but I find it hard treating disfigured people like normal people and I end up staring and then not staring. u.u


Yea, I weigh more than I look, too. It sucks. >.>

Glad you enjoyed camp..... This heat is horrid. >
