I'm going to an art/drama camp with one cousin, then an art camp with another cousin (my sister is in skating school those weeks, so I need something to do in the city every day), spending some time with my neighbors and friends, and hopefully meeting a few hot guys. Also, every summer our family goes camping with my parents' friends from university, and this year is the 20th anniversary of the camping trip so we're trying to get everyone there, we have a few planned activities, and we're extending the weekend by one day. AND IT'S ON MY BIRTHDAY. So now I get to see my best long-distance friends on my birthday. I'm gonna be the first one of us to turn 13. Yay! I'm the oldest, but only by 2 months. Ryan comes after me, then Broc is about 4 months after him, and Mellissa is sometime after Broc, and then we have Nikki, who is a year younger, and then some of the ten-year-olds, all the way down to really little kids and toddlers.
Also, the traditional summer custom of Stoney Lake Bible Camp! It's probably my favourite place in the world, not even kidding. It's located over at Lake Kippibisca, and it's just great. We pick 3 skills to do every day for a week, we go to chapel, go swimming, do cabin devos, eat in a mess hall, and do all sorts of camp things. The taps in the girls' bathroom are reversed, so you have to remember that the tap on the right is actually hot water so that you don't burn yourself. It's all pretty dirty, so it's hard to get used to the cleanliness of the rest of society after the week is done. And then of course, it's all super-frindly, and it's so centered around God. That's what I love about it. My family is Catholic, but not really religious, but at Stoney, it's all God, all the time, so I can exercise my faith freely.

Let us never see another friend, classmate, brother, sister, son, or daughter take their own life. You are all loved, whether you feel it or not. Nobody should be persecuted for who they choose to kiss or what they choose to wear.
