Who’s trying to dictate how you leave? Need me to go Hulk on someone??

Katie's up first:

1. Are you organized? Use a calendar, keep a neat room, do things in an orderly fashion?

Not really. I like to call my life "organized chaos."

2. Share your favorite memory from 2013.

I seriously have no idea. Maybe the extreme yolo-ing of the Yellowstone road trip I took with friends this summer. That was great. We just quickly planned and then up and left for a week, camping at the sketchiest campgrounds, but having the time of our lives.

3. How did you spend the MAJORITY of your time as a child? Outside, Inside, with Friends/Siblings/Alone, Watching movies/tv, reading, scouting, sports, etc?

Oh wow. I read a lot. Goofed around with my brothers a lot. I did sports my entire life. I never watched a ton of movies or tv. I was in Girl Scouts starting in kindergarten, but crashed my brothers' Cub Scout meetings for years before then. So pretty much almost all of the above?

4. You like chocolate right? Right. What do you dip in your chocolate?

Everything? What isn't amazing in chocolate?

5. I want to make you breakfast in bed! What do you want?

Pancakes with boysenberry syrup and strawberries on the side. Also a really delicious cup of coffee, black with sugar.

6. Describe someone new you met this past year, and a fond memory with them.

I really met Pythe for the first time over the summer and there was one time at the end of one of my breaks where she built a pillow fort around me in the staff house.

7. What is peaceful to you?

Quietly looking out at the world in that time between sunrise and when everything really starts moving in the mornings.

8. CONGRATULATIONS! You won an all expense paid trip for two weeks to anywhere in the world. What country(ies) are you going to visit, who are you going to bring, and what are you going to do/see?

I really want to travel around the UK, but I don't think two weeks would be enough...so maybe National Park hopping in the Southwest in spring. I would bring whoever wanted to come along/whoever could fit in the car. We would go hiking and take tons of pictures and do everything else we could.

9. Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes and your favorite adventure in said pair of shoes.

Well they used to be my favorite pair, but my green converse hightops have the best story. One time I went to the Newport Back Bay with two of my friends and we were terrible and went off trail and got lost and I ended up stepping in decomposing mud stuff that was black and smelly. But it was an amazing adventure.

10. Do you have a guilty pleasure movie(s)/TV show(s)? 

I hate-watched Glee for the longest time. Other than that, musicals are by far my biggest guilty pleasure. I get a lot of crap about that.

11. You can own any pet you want. Even the exotic (you have the knowledge of how to keep them). What do you want?

Oh dear. I think I would just want a rolly poly farm because that would be awesome.

Next comes Quackers:

1) If you could tell anyone anything without having to deal with the repercussions, what would you tell them?

I have no idea. It depends on the person and the circumstance and the secret.

2) What is something you want to do with an extreme passion that you will probably never do? What is stopping you from doing it (fear, circumstances, money, etc.)?

Just screw life and go travel. It's mostly societal pressures and money that stop me.

3) What ‘s the farthest away you’ve ever wanted to go from where you are right at this moment?

I don't even know. I'm pretty content with where I am at this moment.

4) If you found the perfect person to fit your life (romantically, platonically, however), how would you describe this person?

Cuddly. Nice. Positive. Sassy. Fun. Adventurous. Spontaneous.

5) Has there ever been a person in your life who you couldn’t get away from or forget no matter how hard you’ve tried?

Outside of family, no.

6) Has there ever been anything illegal that you’ve thought about doing, but haven’t done (for obvious reasons)? What is it?

Nope.

7) What is your most favorite thing you’ve ever read (doesn’t have to be a book)? Why is it your favorite?

The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan. Just read it, you'll know.

8) Describe a memory you remember with the most details.

Sitting on top of Pyramid with T2 and Jetplane and having to tell our kids not to move or else they would see Jetplane peeing. That's really all the detail I'm willing to share.

9) What natural disaster would you be the most comfortable going through? Why?

Earthquakes. They're not really that scary I don't think. And the big ones feel really cool, like you're on a boat.

10) What’s something you’ve wanted to do and tried to do, but just can’t?

Run regularly.

11) What is something you avoid doing, even though you have no real reason to avoid?

Cleaning.

And finally Pythe's questions:

1) Who is someone you look(ed) up to?

Willow. She's just made of magic.

2) What is your least favorite food and why?

Pig. I had to dissect a pig in high school because they're similar enough to humans that you learn about human anatomy from them and that's weird and far too close to cannibalism for my liking.

3) What is your favorite word and why?

Defenestrate. Because it literally means "to throw something out of a window"

4) What is your favorite song and why?

At the moment, Skin by BOY. I don't really have a reason, I just really really love it.

5) If given the chance to live anywhere for a year with money no object where would you go?

The UK. Probably specifically Edinburgh.

6) What is one fictional character you identify with or one you’ve identified with in the past? Is there a character you look at and go “wait that’s me”? Why?

Lily in Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. She is my spirit animal.

7) If you could finish one project you started last year but didn’t finish what would it be?

Getting that camp playlist up on the internet. Also fixing my webcam.

8) Do you like squishy pillows or firm pillows? Mattresses?

SQUISHY.

9) Flannel sheets or linen sheets? Why?

Um linen. I'm not really a huge sheet person other than the fitted sheet.

10) What item of furniture are you most like?

A nightstand. I'm full of random things you never knew you needed until you decided to look inside after ignoring it for a long time.

11)  What is your opinion of musicals and why?

I’m starting to worry as well. & I’m NOT the worrying type. I just hope it doesn’t reach camp.

6. A song that makes you want to dance: Cannibal by Boxed Wine

11. A song you never get tired of: Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club

19. A song that makes you think about life: Unbelievers by Vampire Weekend

20. A song that has many meanings to you: I Love You by Said the Whale

There is no line. This is camp we’re talking about. (Plus too much is better than too little. You never know, right?)

dotluvr replied to your post: Packing clothes is the easiest thing for camp. I...

alas, there lies the question of a lifetime

Wow. Two very different responses. I wouldn't expect that from you guys.
