You would think that bringing the comforts of home would insulate me from Mother Nature. Turns out that’s not so. I haven’t said much to the others, cause they’re all having a GREAT TIME out here and I don’t want to spoil it. BUT…
I’ve developed this Camping Horrors Scale to rate each day of my adventure in the “great outdoors”:
See a spider – 1 to 9 points (depending on size of spider)
Break a nail – 3 points
See a snake – 5 points
Sunblock failure resulting in burn – 4 points
Get dirty – 2 points (because it happens all the time)
Tear clothes – 4 points
Swallow bug – 6 points
Blister from paddling kayak – 5 points
Get lost – 3 points
Fall in river – 6 points
Mosquitoes – 5 points
Aches and pains from kayaking – 3 points
At the end of the day, I total my points. Anything over 12 is officially A Bad Camping Day. Yesterday, I scored 112 points!! EVERY SINGLE THING on my list happened – MORE THAN ONCE – and then I found a snake IN MY TENT!
I HAVE had fun with my friends out here, but I will be Soooooooooooo Happy to get back to Riverdale!

ok....sounds exasperating. it wierd:after reading bettys blog, i longed to go camping. after reading rons blog, i am not so sure i want to.......
I think seeing a snake would have been awesome! I love animals! All those things that involve bugs or animals I would have enjoyed. I love bugs. In fact last time my dad killed a roach told me he would have to pay a fine of $5 next time,he's yet to have had to pay it though.
I meant to say told him he would have to pay.
ha ha. Hang in there Ron. But I'm glad you're having some fun. :-) Maybe you should get rid of your scale before you depress yourself.
think of the good stuff! breaking a nail should not be that bad =/
lol
but i love animals to...but no so much bugs the only kind of animals i dont like are....snakes and i guess you could call that a reptile =]
wow animalgurl, u relly luv animals!! =D that is awesome. i like animals 2, but sometimes, snakes creep me out. i like them, but ......i dunno. they can b creepy. mainly its the poison ones i dont like that much. but they ARE cool!!!! maybe it's because i read 2 many ghost stories, especialy ones by betty ren wright and allan zullo. mr.zullo has a book called haunted campers, and theres some ghost snake. thats probobly y they creep me out. but i know the stories not tru.[i think, but u never kno ;)]

I loooooooove animals!!!!!! Any way, thanx 4 being honest, Ron! I don't blame u, that list doesn't seem like much fun! - Amal*F
Cats r AWESOME!!!!!!!!! - Amal*F
"Cats r AWESOME!!!!!!!!! - Amal*F"
Same! I love all animals,but cats are my fave pet because I'm allergic to doggies,and I have the sheer joy of knowing I can pet and hold cats and let em get all over me,and without worry of allergies! I want a cat,but both my parents are allergic.
Doesn't sound like a fun camping trip just try to relax and have fun!!
I know you will!
^_^
Don't worry Ronnie! It'll get better. And I'm sure you'll be happy to know this. Just because you wers sooooo nice to Betty and felt sooooo bad about being mean to her I drew a picture of you as an Angel! It's in the blog fanart right now. Number nine :)
P.S I'm thinking of changing my name, any suggestions?
HelpingSspirit, I think your name is fine! Every body got used to you being called Helping Spirit! I like it! But it's your choice!
Bunnies are the best! Ask me if I have any... Maybe! But you have to ask!(or vote)
If yes... How many?
Hee! Hee!
Good luck on Night Of The Iguana every body!
Bye every one!

I also have a cat. :) But my dog of course has to stay away from her so I keep my dog in my room. My cat tries to get her. One time, my cat sneaked in my room and hid under my bed. And when I left my room, she ran out to my dog and she cornered my dog. :) Then, I heard a thump against the wall so I came in my room and I took my cat out. :) That, was close. :P I love my cat. :) And my dog. :)

XOXO,K!
Woah- a snake was inside the tent? That's kinda uncommon at times. But of course you would see a Snake or a Spider as well as many other animals while camping. Then again, I'd be panicking if there were a lot of Spiders around me.
