Where to start?

I think I'll start with good stories

"Freeze game"
In the k2 dining hall, individual cabins sit together at a big table and eat family style. At the conclusion of each meal, the biggest part of the clean up process is plate scraping. You may be wondering to yourself, "self, what does it mean to "scrape" a plate?" It's quite simple really. With a spatula, the loser of the "scraper game" wipes the remnants of everyone's plate onto the biggest serving platter, and then from the platter to a trash can (because anything that comes out of the kitchen cannot go back in). Now, you may not believe me, but the job of scraping plates is not a coveted task, so a game is played in order to declare a loser. Much like survival of the fittest. The games come in various sorts, but on this particular day, I fell victim to Shea Flanagan's FREEZE GAME. When "freeze" is yelled, all table-sitters must freeze while K.P.'s (kitchen patrol for the day) ((the ones who set the table, but we never had to because our brother cabin or our wonderful kitchie did every day)) get up and do funny things to people to make them un-freeze, or laugh. Being a counselor, I'm an easy target. The day's meal was grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. I always eat my grilled cheese with ketchup (don't make that face. It's like a cheeseburger without the meet, big deal) anyway, Shea makes her way toward me, takes my spoon from my hand, and puts, what I think is soup, in my mouth. Soup, no. Ketchup, yes...SICK! All the while it's being videod, and I seriously look like I'm bleeding out the mouth. Did I crack? No! I took it like a man and beat the scraper game. Anyway, Shea ended up getting ketchup on my Nascar t-shirt and she felt REALLY bad about it. That's when me and Shea became best buddies- from that moment on, she apologized to me nearly every 5 seconds, including yelling "I'm sorry, Bethany" when the lights were out and all was quiet at bed time, AND while zooming down the zipline from 50 feet in the air.

"Pranks are bad"
When one of my Co-counselors, Amy went on a 2-4, the girls thought it would be funny to play a joke on her when she came back. We constantly praised our girls for being such a unified cabin. Seriously, they were precious and spent F.O.B (flat on back/ cabin chill time after lunch) in the floor of our cabin making bracelets and writing letters together. I have never seen a group of girls have so much fun together- we didn't have one conflict with them the entire time! Anyway, we decided that the prank would be one to make Amy think that our precious, friendly cabin had fallen into pettiness and drama like most of the others. So here's the story: The whole cabin was mad at Libby for hard core flirting with Laura's ex-kanacrush, Christian. Libby was not only wrong for flirting with one of her cabin mates ex-kanacrushes, but she was wrong on a second degree because Libby has a BOYFRIEND. His name is Jake. Libby was mad at Shea because Shea took matters into her own hands by writing a letter to Jake, telling him what kind of girl he was dealing with, and exposed her viscious, unfaithful, flirtacious ways. Everyone was really into character when Amy got back, and Amy was a little upset that the cabin had fallen to pieces in her absence, and a little annoyed because she didn't know what was going on. So naturally, I filled her in on the whole thing, and together, we decided to prank them back! We planned to go along with it until devos when we would inform the girls that we had taken matters into our own hands and told leadership about the problem, and have a leadership girl come in and send the girls to the Hilton (k2's disciplinary cabin) for the night. Long story short, we got them good. The girls made a rap about it that they sang at backwoods during role call instead of saying "here". It went like this...

"Yippy yippy skip skip Amy went cray-cray
Got sent to the Hilton cuz we were bad lay-days
(boom-boom psh, boom-boom-boom psh)
Pranked our counselors then they pranked us back
Now they gon beat us with a fanny pack
(boom-boom psh, boom-boom-boom psh)"

Really good, right?

More to come- I have to go do important stuff like go to walmart, do laundry, and inject my veins with caffeine. Not really, but I will drink a lot of it. And what about "i before e except after c"? The word "caffeine" is so not grammatically correct...ugh. Chew on that, dear readers, I'll be back.
