I still marvel at how different my experience of religion has been from so many others. I'm still not convinced that it isn't somehow the statistical norm.
Pretty close to mine, I think, though we've ended up at different places.
And yeah, there's a huge difference between church camps and Bible Camp.
Everybody with the bad days and the grumpiness. I don't remember the last time I was happy.
hugs everyone
I've been pretty grumpy all week, but today improved dramatically. Not only do I have a ticket to the July Adam Lambert concert (whooo! sparkly boy in eyeliner!), but there is a chance that, through a friend of a friend, I will get a pass to meet him. HELLO THERE, TALL SPARKLY MAN. YOU ARE VERY PRETTY.

I've never encountered a non-fundamentalist church holiday for young people - I guess that's about the circles I moved in as a teenager. I went on a couple of Scripture Union holidays as a kid. Lots of verse-learning (ugh) and serious talks about sharing the gospel. I also went more than once to Soul Survivor, a week of camping in a field where the Holy Spirit moves people to fall over a lot (or maybe it's the mud), and Spring Harvest, where there are lots of seminars about how being gay is wrong (so they did well with me then). Ah, the teenage years of a Christian 'youth'.
I went to 4H camp for ten years and loved it. I was a CIT and a counselor at that and a few other camps in the years that followed.
ION, I am currently subbing for the AP Calc class, which is hysterical. They're currently presenting lessons that I don't understand a word of. One of the other students is filming for the actual teacher. Hence, me messing around online. I = *awesome* Calc substitute.
Leon Theremin deserves a movie made of his life.

Well, theologically. We're pretty similar on just about any other point.
Now I want to rewatch that, and Shag, too. "Y'all, I think I'm wild. I think I've always been wild, I just nevah knew it till now."
"Where have I seen you before?" "Perhaps in one of your better dreams."
Yeah, that's all I've got.
In the way of topics...movie quotes I could go on all day.
Hugs & glitter to anyone in need. And back to work, bah.
HELLO THERE, TALL SPARKLY MAN. YOU ARE VERY PRETTY.
WHY YES, YOU CAN BE MY MINION. GEE WILL SHOW YOU THE ROPES.
