Rifle camp was great- There were about 8 guys, including instructors and over 100 girls! I had fun! The first day, Sunday we left Tomball at 8:30AM. We got there at about 2PM. We registered- I got a key for my room. We went up to our rooms and scoped the place out. We unpacked and then went to supper. It was lasagna. It tasted like shit. I literally couldn't eat it because it made me want to vomit.

After supper, we went to the communing hall to get oriented and be put into our different groups. We met Kelly Cole, the camp director. I met her afterward and found out that I was alone in my room- no roomate- because I was the oldest. I ended up in the intermeadiate rifle class. I wasn't in advance because I couldn't do doubletime fast enough. Lynda, Kelly, and Angie were in the advanced group. The rest of us were in intermeadiate - Keesha, Ann, Joe, Me, a dude named Jay and a guy named Kelly were in there, too. Kelly ended up going down to beginner because he couldn't pull doubles every time. Carlos taught Advanced Rifles. James taught Intermeadiate. Trish taught Beginner. I wanted to be in advanced so bad. We just learned a few basic things the first day. Then at about 9:0 we went back to the dorms. I ran around a little meeting people, and getting the girls to notice me some. Kelly Cole gave each room a piece of paper to decorate and put on the door. Mine is now in my letter box in an envelope. It's a blue paper. I told everyone to sign it and they did. Lights out at 10:30. I took a shower and told Joe to wake me up. he did at about 6:20. I got up, put my contacts in, and got dressed. Went out of my room and waited for someone to go to breakfast with. I think I went with Lynda and Ann. We ate. It wasn't bad. then at 8:00. We had to be in the Communing hall again. I tried to get into the advanced group again, but didn't make it. I didn't want to be in there quite so much after that. Monday we were numbered off into 3 groups. I was in group 3 with Kelly, Keesha, Laura, Kristin. (sp?) (Kristen?) I was doing rather terribly. We had to put it on the next day, Tuesday. Also Monday each group (Beginner Inter. etc.) Started to learn a different routine. I was all screwed up on that one, too. But we only had to learn it by Thursday. Monday there waas a talent show. I wasn't in it. Oh, Well. We went swimming, but it was boring. I just flirted with Lynda. That night, a lot of us watched a band perform on TV. I gave Linda a foot massage. We went to bed. I took a shower and all. Joke woke me about 6:10. I went to breakfast Tuesday with Jay and Kelly and group... Liz Sylvia Melissa Janie, and Laura? Tuesday we worked on our routiens. During break I just sat with Lynda. She lay back on me- like Christy in the '86 Houston Rally. That night we performed our first routine. We did good. I messed up in one place- oh well. We got first place, thought. Yeay! The ribbon is hanging by my door. After we went in for the night, I took a shower and then propped my door open with my rifle, then went down to Lynda's room. later a girl came by with a cap like mine. I said "where'd you get that?" (I got mine at Wendy's) she said, "Your room. Where else?" "Woah!" I went down there. One girl was wearing my name tag. Another my cap. Someone was wearing Joe's hightops. They were jammin' to Beastie Boys on Joe's Jam Box. They didn't mess any of my stuff up. Cool. Wednesday Joe woke me up by kicking my mattress. (I had it on the floor in the middle of my dorm. Don't ask why.) I went to Breakfast with Kelly I think. During Break, I went swimming.. We played water volleyball. I met Harla there. That was fun. She has a fine ass. Lynda didn't want to play. I don't know why. A girl named Mandi was there. I invited her to play, but she didn't want to either. I actually just wanted to meet her. That night we had the Olympic games. We were all split up into 5 groups. I was in group 4. Each person had to dribble a basketball up to a mat, throw it to the next person, who just held it, do 2 summer saults on a mat, jumprope to a bat, run around that bat 5 times, step into a box, step in the next box, bring the first one around to the front, step in it again, etc- then sit down, put your hands over your head, say, "Mary had a little lamb. Mary had a little lamb. His fleece was white as snow.", then push a balloon with your head to a softbal, put the softball between your feet and jump over to a table with 5 pieces of pop corn on it, eat the popcorn with out using your hands, run back, and tag the person with the basket ball. Our team came in absolutely last. Kelly (the guy) ended up doing the whole thing alone. All eyes were on him. Except for whoever was watching me cheer him on. I was out there, "Yay! Go!Go!Go! We can still win it!" Oh, Well. That night, we were allowed to stay up until 12:00. I sat downstairs with Lynda. She sat in my lap for a while. :) Ann ordered pizza. I flirted a little with Harla, and her friend Marian. Thursday I woke up. Wow, um- It was a normal day until break- We had to pack to leave. I packed real fast and then went swimming with Harla. She was the only other person there except for a lifegaurd. We played volleyball until about 3:50. I invited both lifegaurds to see us perform that day. They said maybe. I put all my stuff in the van. Then I turned in my key. I saw Harla there. She didn't look too good. She said her boyfriend was giving her crap about being with other guys. What a jerk. I got her address, and Marian's. We went to the Communing Hall. We performed. I did perfectly. We all did. No one dropped their rifle. We were happy. After we performed, it was time to go. I hugged a whole bunch of people and everything. It was similar to leaving a rally. On the way back, I major flirted with Lynda. We all talked about a lot of different stuff. Like when Kelly turned the light on and said "Psyche!" to Keesha. Or said, "Keesha! Listen! It's a rattlesnake!"

I was in color guard for a while.....I couldn't twirle a rifle but I could a sabor (if that's how you spell it) and a flag but I did better at tossing the sabor than I did twirling it but I could still do it. i've only done color guard for one year and now I'm a cheerleader and I was two years before that too.So yeah I was more of a cheerleader but then turns out I was one of the best on the team....
