thedarksiren2 | A week beyond camping

Camping went wonderfully well, I must say.

Most Notable points:

*

sharpshinyclaws being so kind as to offer her puppy-sitting of the Chloebearmonster (I am sorry she was such a shit for you...no pun intended!) THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!

* The monstah-van almost tipping over as we went off-roading to reach the sight ("QUICK! Everyone lean RIGHT!" LMAO)

*

poliwitch's chicken-ka-bobs

*

angelhipster's mad-S'more skills

*

darkercloud driving me bonkers with his lack-of-knowledge in the ways of the woods.

* Suddenly transforming into "Camp Mom."

* The terror that was Raptorcoons.

* Shadow-play and TMI marathons under Blue Skyes and stars that were really fireflies.

* LOTS of floating-feathers via

bindrune,

wraptboy, and their alcoholic friends.*grin!*

* The eighth plane of Hell AKA the no-flushies at Yellow Springs Campgrounds (medieval torture device for certain! BLECH!)

* Happy tummies & smiles after fried bacon-egg & cheese sammiches were consumed.

* The power of lovely goilz and the wood gained therafter (

bindrune,

angellafurious, and

angelhipster = Divas-of-the-Wood!)

* tin-foil fixes and stealthy-logs to bash heads in with.

* Pretty hippy-boiz in Yellow Springs with dark hair, light eyes and too-sweet smiles :::melt:::

* The poster we should have bought revealing the true nature of the Mullet

* Water-gun wars and dysfunctional water balloons.

* Dayton boiz with stronger lungs than mine (Jeezum, Dan can BLOW!)

* The affirmational tarot reading that revealed much of who I am to

poliwitch...thank you again, sweetie.

* a few moments of hellos and miss yous with

hematite_cross and

bobtwc...wish there had been more time! (Oh! and happy belated birfday,

bobtwc!!! Hope it went well!)

* The feeling of ickiness that made it more difficult for me to relax.

* Strange water mills with li'l girlz whose lives felt empty and long-gone cold.

* Fields decorated with thousands upon thousands of beautiful fireflies, dancing and glittering about as though they were Christmas lights with wings (I totally felt like I was in Legend.)

* The strange new smell I discovered, also known as centipedes (three cheers for acidic bugs).

* Sometimes what you see and what you feel do not coincide directly. at all.

* Covered bridges should remain where they are from, not be uprooted to protect people from all that is not right with the woods.

* Always, always ask before you enter.

* more fireflies!!!YAY!

* Finally reaching twenty.

* Raptorcoons in hords, ready to attack.

*

bindrune running like a madman after them, all aggressive and loud...truly a sight to see!

* The raptorcoons' screams when the reality that we had packed everything up safe and sound closed in on them.

* Strange dreams of

angellafurious's li'l D-boi, Greek landscapes, mile-high pillars surrounding pyres-turned-hot-tubs, my cult-religious brother, my dog Floyd & Busher...:::shivers:::

* Scarab-beetles being stealthy under the tent as we packed up to leave.

There are more memories, many more that will never be forgotten. But these were most noted in my mind. Thank you,

bindrune for putting this venture together. I think we all needed the break more than any of us could describe.

(((HUGZ!)))
