When I was in Girl Guides, the troop went camping for the weekend. We were short one tent, so my group had to wait for one to arrive. We ended up pitching it in the dark....
That night there was a really violent thunderstorm. Did Michelle wake up? Nooo. Then the tent fell down. Did Michelle wake up? Nooo. Tent mates started shaking and yelling at Michelle. Did she wake up? Nooo. Tent mates had to go out in the pouring rain and repitch the tent with me sleeping in it. I couldn't understand why nobody was speaking to me the next day.

Did I mention that I'm a very sound sleeper?

That is a very deep sleep! Are you still like that or do you wake up now when you are in danger

I have actually. Twice. And you are right, there is nothing fun about it! But for some reason I was thinking that you meant you didn't like Chicago.

And right!? It kind of surprised me seeing that. Like... to people actually think that way!?

It's no wonder so many older people call millennials lazy.... and then they're the first ones to be like oh we're bot, we're so hardworking and you screwed it up, blah blah, and I mean, that is true to a point and there are hardworking ones, but when you're implying work is for sitting on your phone or joking/goofing around with friends the whole time... no wonder people think that. They only see those types of posts.

But that said, maybe millennials are different from the younger kids? Cause older people, like 20s and 30s, I think are still mostly pretty hardworking or have common sense or whatever, but a lot of these really younger ones born 2000 or later, I think are even worse. And much more technology addicted and/or all about internet fame and going viral, etc. Cause at least with myself and older ones, we still grew up mostly without the internet and without phones, or like, they were kind of just starting to be used and it was still expensive and you still couldn't connect to strangers as fast (social media).

And slight detour about the airport:

One time we were laid over in Atlanta and another time in Jersey. So I guess that's 3 times. Atlanta I think was like 4 hours? I don't think NJ was that long but idk. But I was little so I don't think I minded it as much.

But the real one and worst experience I had was when I got stuck at the Buffalo airport all day.

My uncle had dropped me off around like 3 as he had to work so I was there early anyway because my flight wasn't for a little while. Anyway, then they had to deice the plane and then something was wrong with it. They had to fix it but kept extending the time. Like "it's almost ready" "actually it's not" i was there literally until like 10pm or maybe midnight. I think I finally boarded between like 10 and 11pm. It's only like an hour or hour and a half flight though thankfully but then we had to drive an hour home. And this was around Christmas time too. I was coming home from school. I was so glad I didn't have to sleep there though. I really thought I was going to have to. I think I might have shared this story before though? In much more (unnecessary) detail haha.

So yeah.

That sucked.



That's awesome you found such a good guy! I hope the rest of the stuff works out soon.







I love camping! We used to go all the time but haven't in forever.

One time though I went to this Audobon camp and we went canoeing and camped on this island thing in the middle of a split in the river. Anyway, it started thundering and lightning so we had to go inside our tents and sit on life jackets. Some people didn't take it very seriously but I stayed on it even after it was "over". I was terrified lol

And also before we got to that spot I think we had to pull over at this other spot like a field, idk. Cause it was thundering and they require you to get off the water for a while




Stay safe!



Aw no

I've gotta say, I've been pretty lucky in my life to not get caught up in too many storms when camping. For several years of my life we've had a pop up camper, so we never got wet in there. But, one and a half years ago, we did get caught up in a storm while camping, and our tent was not waterproof. There were puddles in every corner of that tent, and my three siblings and I all were trying to share the same 4 square footage of dryness. It was miserable.

That is a HILARIOUS story. Apparently last night it rained so hard on the cabin it sounded like hail. When I woke up this morning and saw the pond on the ground, I said, "Did it rain last night?" And they all busted out laughing that I hadn't woken up.
