Words escape me.

I have no idea how to culminate the past two and a half months into a post. Or even a series of posts.

I spent my summer at North Star Camp, and it was the best summer I've ever had since getting a job. Forget Edson Creek, Donnelleys, Varsity Club, or Snow Mountain Ranch. North Star is where my love lies. North Star love will not fade away. What an amazing summer.

And I'm super tan and bleached for it too. And I feel like that if I don't get out near the water once a month, I might die. I loved teaching kids how to sail. And some of those kids are bloody good sailors too.

I also went on a small endeavor this past week. Starting Monday and getting back just today (Friday), I spent the days and nights with eleven other amazing Calvin RA's, and two kickbutt RD's. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. We traveled up to Traverse City and using their main campsite as a basecamp, we completed two long bike rides - and that is not easy biking country. Damn you wineries and your hills. But the free wine tasting was great. By the time we got back to camp, we were sloshed! Just kidding. It was good times hanging out with NVW and of course, SE.

We then made our last ride to another campsite at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I was leader for that one, and it was... good. Despite the largest hill we'd ever encountered, we got there safe and sound.

Ok, so I am not as BA as my dad, who is biking across the country, but I had my own things to worry about. My knee killed the entire trip... it was very painful - but now its fine. Riding in a van? No. Sitting here at a computer? Yes. How convenient.

I am excited for decorating my room! I am going to use fabric from some...fabric...store... and mirror the colors of Lake Michigan. Its going to be amazing. I can't wait. Molly has to help me.

It's very late. I just wanted to say how much I loved this past summer, how excited I am for this coming semester, and how tired and happy I am.

"...hold my hand just one more time
to see if you're really going to meet me..."

This summer vacation has been magical. Perhaps the best since the summer after sophomore year of high school. (The next summer I got a job, and it's been hell ever since.)

I'll be sailing this summer. Can't beat it.



Oh yeah. Teaching kids how to sail. Right.

The joys of Stumbling...I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Here is my debut album.

Occult Compensation

 

"As A Man's Head"

And yes, I am unapologetically listening to Backstreet Boys. Don't even hate, unless you have listened to this album. Completely different.

Now for something completely different.

Memorial Day was excellent. One of those events that never changes as you get older, but you experience it differently as you get older. Yeah, as Dufus would say, "We're old. Pretty soon we'll be dead. Good life huh?"

Fark linked this image as one of their posted stories. Very powerful. Two kind of goodbyes.



Today screams for a good bike ride. I'll just use my brothers iPod. Since I lost mine. Yes Tom, I finally lost my Shuffle. I ordered a new one. It's blue...-ish. Some opponents would state its purple. It's... blue-ish purple-ish. I like it. If it's really that bad, then I'll skin it black. w00t.


Don't hate. Don't drink the Haterade.

This post was very eclectic. Sorry, won't happen again.
