Caffeine, Camp, and Candy Bars.



The reason that "caffeine" comes first in the title is because "camp" and "candy bars" wouldn't have happened without it. My caffeine addiction is kind of ridiculous. I get headaches and I also get really rude if haven't had caffeine yet. Which sucks for my friends. But they're used to it, I guess. But caffeine is just how I start my day. Every day. It's a routine. I wake up, drag myself to the kitchen, and find caffeine. The awkward thing about it is that I hate coffee. So I find other sources of caffeine. Which can be interesting. But, I'm rambling. Oh well. That's the point of a blog, isn't it? No? Whatever. It is today.

This morning, I woke up at seven and went to help out at the ATC summer camp thing they're doing. Milne (my photography teacher for the last two years) asked some of us to come help him out with teaching the kids stuff. But, when I got there, he wasn't there, so I ended up helping out with a group of kids. Their first station thing was culinary, where they made chocolate chip cookies. This would be cool if they were normal kids. But our group of kids was kind of terrifying. One of them was beating an egg with a spoon, and right as I walked by he mused "I could kill people with this spoon..." His nickname for the rest of the day was Spoon Kid. Then while they were using the industrial mixer, another kid looked me straight in the eyes and said "It's really tempting to stick my hand in there while it's mixing." This was really terrifying. After that, we went to a photography and graphic design combined thing where they designed papers to stick in little plastic mugs for Father's Day. The most interesting one was probably the one that had a picture of the kid with his arms crossed looking away and it said something like "I'm more than meets the eye." All in all, a pretty entertaining experience.

I would really like for my money to show up in my bank account. Because I have it, it's just not available in my checking account yet. And I want to order my laptop soon so that it comes in quickly. But whatever. That's cool, bank. You can just hoard my money if you want to.

I also think it's kind of funny that my laptop is going to cost just a little bit more than half as much as my camera. Must be the lens.

Also, today I got a giant 3 Musketeers. Which was pretty cool. Except I haven't even opened it yet. I had to photograph it first. I'm kind of awkward. Especially when I take pictures of things because the lighting in the house generally sucks unless I'm in the bathroom or the kitchen. And usually I take them in the bathroom because the counter is just white, whereas the kitchen has stupid counters. So sometimes I feel like my dad is looking at me really weirdly when I walk into my bathroom with my camera and a candy bar, or worse, my camera and a swimsuit. But oh well.

Also, I have some unhealthy obsessions that I feel like listing. They are, in no particular order: George of the Jungle, sweet tea,  Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard, close up photographs, driving with the music up really loudly, and Facebook.
