Ambassador Camp

Camp was excellent. But a bit cold. It probably also would've been better if I didn't rip my knee to bits on the second day, but that's hard to say. Still had fun being a cripple. Some fond memories:

- Waking up at 6 after sleeping at 4 in an attempt to watch the sunrise with James, Hayley, Stef (ha, no typo) and Elena. We missed the sunrise, got frozen half to death, but took some awesome photos. Was also a good bonding time. The cold built character.

- Big 2 Moments with Anna, Kanji, Ray/Rui and the Canto Crowd (man, I'm so awesome at coining new terms). It was so addictive, like...a drug. Wow, original analogy. Completely justified 3 hours of sleep.

- Mafia aka Killers craziness. It was madness. Have never played 20 person Mafia before. Probably due to the fact that I've only played it once before. But still. It was huge. Just remember, Terry is always the killer, Kanji never actually has the 7 of diamonds, and you shouldn't accuse me because I'm a cripple.

- The amazing help I received after doing my knee. Ali and the whole Purple Soup team were awesome about it, and props to all my pals (you know who you are) for helping a brother out. I find this hard to say in person, but I love you guys.

- Watching part of the Michael Jackson tribute at the hospital. Amazing how some good actually came out of the injury.

- Making new friends. So many cool people in one place. I betcha the camp showed up on one of those newfangled heat-seeking devices as sub-zero temperature, due to the combined effects of the weather plus the coolness of the people there.

- The Egg Drop was pretty intense. Great to see how all our hard work (cough) paid off.

- The game at the end was pretty ego-boosting. I thought we were supposed to remember how many and which touches we got, so I was struggling pretty hard. And those hard pushes to the head just gave it away. So much for anonymity.

So want to do it again. Thanks for the great time people.

Word of the day: Camp
