This one time at camp! February 21, 2008

One time last summer, I was directly applying the written word to my fellow counselors. We had “mailboxes” aka little square boxes, where our mail was put.  I loved getting mail from my friends at home, and from the other counselors.  We would leave each other encouraging notes, which would always uplift my spirit.  I was sitting outside of my tent one night writing notes to the counselors, and one of the other counselors popped into my head.  He always said that he did not like other counselors having crushes on him, and that counselors should only be friends at camp and nothing more.  Seizing this opportunity, I proceded to write him five notes that week, starting with his name, and then proceding to “will you marry me?” all on different notecards.  Needless to say, this drove him crazy.  He suspected it was me, but I insisted it was other counselors or his brother being funny.  I was hysterical throughout the process, and only a few other counselors knew it was me.  I had the best time using the written word for such humor.  At the end of the summer, I told him about the one-word notecards, to which he laughed.  I had a few good laughs out of the situation.  Humor, when combined properly with the written word and text, can be extremely funny.  At least I think so.
