I Know, I'm Longwinded, I Can't Help It

Wow, am I longwinded or do I really have a lot to tell? Guess we'll never know.

First things first, before I go on, I have a few important things to say:

1. PLEASE COMPLETELY DISREGARD MY FIRST ADDRESS IN AZE! Upon arriving in Tour de Buis, I learned that I will be in Thebe (pronounced Teb) for the entire summer. Damn, no castle after all. But after talking to the other counselors, I have discovered that Thebe is the most beautiful site, even though I will not have my own room or the privacy of showering where people cannot see me. Yep, that's right. Good thing I don't have many inhibitions because I will be visible for others to see while cleaning myself. Just wonderful - guess that's camp, right?

2. I need to think of a camp name for the summer and I have nothing right now. Some examples of names are: Butch, Rae, Belle, Big Kahuna, QTip, Bucket, Shania. I need your help in picking something. Here are a few we came up with last night: Visa, Tree, Chuck Norris (this seems to be the favorite because I mistakingly said that he is my hero when talking to someone that looks like him), Poptart, Skittles, Pringle, Red, Gavin, Cheeto, Malibu, Sonic, Cheech, Gold, Candy...

Some things to consider when deciding: little French children will be screaming this name at me all the time (imagine Poop-tar for Poptart with a very heavy French accent), I have to sign this name about a million times when autographing things for the children, and I actually have to be able to TOLERATE being called the name all summer and possibly beyond. Honestly, most people here don't even know the real names of half the counselors, so I am sure correspondance will be with me via my camp name.

Again, I have to apologize because I have to go. Dinner is in 5 minutes and I am STARVING. I'll finish my trip to Geneva and my nightmare trip to Vienne later, I promise! Also, I got an international phone card with 150 minutes on it (for only 7,5 Euro!) so that I can call some of you later! Meanwhile, think of a name, please!
