Yes! It is that time folks, when we all have our sweet new uniforms for camp, all the same, but PERSONALISED! MANY HUZZAHS!
So we all have these AMAZING hoodies (the same purple colour as Charlie McDonnell's "I Look Better In Purple" t-shirts, which are MADE OF AWESOME) that have our truly terrific Monty the Moose (drawn by our homegrown Helen! :D) on the front and our names and another groovy logo on the back. I'll leave that up to your imaginations, strangers, and if I see you at the camp (which I really hope to!) then you can fill in that gap in your imagination with the real thing. We all chose names/nicknames for our hoodies...and quel suprise... I went with Hazeltron *giggles* HOORAY!
We all also have these darned amazing polo shirts with cutie Monty on too:
I'm so excited! We're now going to get a few more personal group t-shirts I think, because we've got a few for our days travelling after the camp and for times as groups at the camp. Hopefully we'll be able to use the embroidered transfers that Mum and I found from a while back, they're super cool!Anyway, aside from sounding lamely excited about our personalised threads, I've also been stocking up on essentials for camp.
REPELLENTS.
No, not people repellents (like my retainers)... INSECT REPELLENTS! I've started taking some supplements (Odourless Garlic and Vitamin B1), as advised by Dr. Jen who is coming with us to Canada, to hopefully repel any icky and evil insects that may want to bite me silly and make me a very irritated camper.
Here's what I've got so far!
I don't know why it's rotated, but oh well! It's some of those weird Mosquito Bands that you wear to ward off the buzzers, and some roll on gel to stop 'em getting stuck to my arms.It's fair to say I'm really excited, because it's just over 5 weeks until we all set off to the airport to fly over the pond and get set up at GMC2010!
In other exciting news, I've been trying to source swaps, and I will update you on how that goes :D
Also, in terms of actually where I've been (i.e. actually out and about) I went to the local quayside open air festival this weekend called Evolution (and actually saw Nichola who we'll be going to GMC2010 with, it was fun) and saw some AMAZING live acts!
That was what the stage looked like just after De La Soul had finished their set. Every band we saw were HUGE (as in they made a big impression/sound) and I had a totally amazing time with my friend and fellow GirlGuide Francesca! Live music is really a passion of mine! Especially Campfire songs! Let me know if you like singing around the campfire! If you don't...is something wrong with you?No seriously, you need to have like a fun implant or something.
I need to mend my camp blanket because my swaps from Poacher are falling off! Sad times!
Stay adventurous,
Haze
The hoody looks so comfortable and fantastic with the red canada flag bit!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you to be going to sing camp fire songs with so many amazing people over the ocean. :D
that moose is the cutest. fact.
ReplyDeletei can't help but be sad when i read these, cos every one takes you a bit closer to being a looooong way from wor newcy.
ahhhhhh spillers wharf <3 we need to do some singing around a campfire. we should add that to our 20 things to do before we're 20. although it might kinda take the point away from it being 20 things if it's 21... kinda less of a ring to it. xxxxxxxxxxx
OH HAZEL, "Youth and Revolt" doesn't have a P in it. Us yesterday had suck a good time. I want you to have an equally good one over there in CANADA!
ReplyDeleteI meant such, SUCH! Oh well, you know me Hazel.
ReplyDeleteThose hoodies are FABTASTIC :D
ReplyDeleteThose mosquito band things really work! I don't get bitten much but my brother does and he had some last year and didn't get one bite. So good choice :)
And surely EVERYONE loves campfire songs...I've never met someone who doesn't :)
<3

MOOSE! i love moose. meese?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am one of the people on the 1950's neighbourhood at GM 2010. I hope you got some cool crests made like your customized shirts and hoodies. The logo is just awesome. We got a great custom crest made of the moose in a poodle skirt (to go with the theme of the 50's) so I would love to swap with you. Look me up - my name is Kris and I am Health and Wellness core crew for the 50's (red) site.
