hmm what esle, oh yeh how could i forget, on sat 07.07.07 was LIVE EARTH concert! and hmm let me see how can i word it, prob one of the most amzing things iäve done in my life! it was fucking awesome! it was at the giant stadium, nj and the place alone was fucking huge! the line up is pretty teeny boppy but man was sooo cool! i saw, kt tunstall, ludacris, fall out boy, taking back sunday, alicia keys, kelly clarkson, akon, kanye west, afi, dave mathews band, john mayer, keith urban, bon jovi, and man he was prob the best performer! but man they alllllll were so good! i wish everyone was with me watching it coz man they are good! on top of that we had several presenters such as al gore, LEO DICAPRIO, and cameron diaz!!!!! oh and zach brafff! is that how u spell his name? but man leo is one fucking hot guy! hehe but yeh we were sitting way back hahah but yeh i didnt care was soooooooo good being there with georgi, ian and claire and he freinds! emily was abit of a dick but yeh i donät even want to mention her.. actually iäm going to go off at her on this blog.

well emily is some chick at camp that is a total american bimbo and she doesnt have any freinds therefore trying to met some boys at this concert. anyways claire freinds ie boys wanted to leave when the police were going to play so we had to leave as her freind was going to take us back to the car instead of us catching the shuttle back to the car which was going to apprantly take ages. INSTEAD we got to the carpark and waited around while her fucktard of a freind started drinking and emily cracks one open as well. and shes suppose to be driving and over here its like a one beer limit or sumthing like that. but anyways we got pissed off and ian finally had the balls to say lets GO! but yeh lesson of the day, dont trust desperate amercian short girls coz they will fuck ur night up! but get this she came up to me yesterday and was like hey min whenever u need something like to go to the mall or movies or watever just let me noe coz i willl take u anywhere, man if only u guys cud see my face when she told me. i swear i could of knocked her out.

anyways apart from that oh so slightly hiccup, the night was really good i just felt really bad for ian coz he really wanted to see the police whereas i was like yeh i wud have relly like to stay to watch them but yeh glad i saw everyone esle kinda thing. oh yeh man i officially confirm that pretzels here are shit. i got one at the stadium and man tastes worst than damper. however i do however love the packet pretzels like the parker ones we get at home but the ones here are wayyyy better! mmm yummy

anyways hmm wat esle been happening. oh yeh how the hell could i forget! ok all that live earth stuff happened on sat, but on fri we went to olive garden and had dinner coz tori whom is a horse riding girl decides she doesnät want to finish camp coz she reckons its crap and yeh we were having a going away dinner for her. olive garden is hmm kinda shit but yeh its like a restuarant chain here kinda like sizzlers but more expensive and sells italian food. u get free entrees which is kool but yeh i got this pasta and was soooo salty. and the pasta is like the same shit u wud get from the continental pasta packs for 99cents on special at coles, no jokes.

but yeh thats the second weekend that ive kinda missed out in terms of people getting drunk on the weekends along with the gossip! but yeh everyones kinda hooking up with everyone and some of the boys are giving shit to some of the girls and vice versa. but yeh things are getting pretty catty over here so yeh when everyones drunk its like times ten! anyways sumthing that i thought was really funny that i like to share is that we have this aussie indian guy named nareesh i think thats how u spell it anyways hes a pretty sleezy guy whoes just looking for a shag or shall i say trying to get a shag anyways started making out with this american horse girl, btw horse girls are the girls teaching horse riding, and yeh was rubbing against her leg that she ended up with a bruise on her leg! hahahahaha and so everyone calls him dry hump nows haha anyways but yeh i dunno how funny or lame it came out when ur reading it but yeh i think its pretty funny

anyways this whole week we had parents visint us at nights to see what the camp has been up to and what the camp has offered the kids... which meant i had to work from 6 to 9 everynight. i get pretty nervous infront of the parents but yeh everything went really well and my worst class was actually one of my best swimmers of the all! anyways thursday night was cancelled due to a massive storm. which is good! haha but yeh if i forgot to mention that over here thunderstorms literally come and go and when they come omg they hit really hard! like we had a stream and it overflowed! and the other night it was a really hot humid day like in the high 20s then the storm hit and it hailed! everyone was like wtf! then it was over in like 10 mins and the sun starts shining again. its so weird. anyways have u guys seen hope and faith? anyways kelly ripper of the girl that plays the bimbo sister is a parent of one of the kids who comes to ramapo and i saw her last night. shes doesnt do hope and faith anymores but she hosts a really big morning show over here and is still pretty famous so poor liz who had her kidwas shitting her self hahaha atleast we noe she will get decent tips!

hmm well ok change of plans i am goin out tonight so yeh have to go get ready! btw knishes are the best things ever!!! they are like mashed potato stuff and are crumbed and they tasted fucking awesome! along with dunkin donuts! and yeh i noe what everyone is thinking,....iäm going to end up looking like yeemins fat sister by the end of my trip! hahah oh wells i canät be in america and not eat shit! hehehe

first week of camp is over! and man we all needed a break! so i organized to go to the city on fri night and stay the night! it was abit of work but finally when everyone was ready we took a cab then a train into the city with claire, emily, georgi, sarah, niklas, marcus, aneeka.

we got off at penn station and omg the terminal is massive and theres even a kmart there! we got a bottle of vodka and drank away ready for the night! we got there about 9 and stayed at the chelsea spot hostel which is really really good! the service is excellant! the cons of it was that the floors were all sloped to the centre of the building... that was weird. and the bunks had to be kept stabled with yellow pages. how dodgy haha



we got ready to go out and made our way to east village or was it union square...to meet up with meagan, ashley and other american horse girls haha we went into the crocodile lounge to have some beers. and get this, for every drink u buy, u get a free pizza! omg and its hands down one of the best pizzas ive ever had, i wud have paid for it! after a couple and heap sof pizza!...man im going to be so fat... we headed to bar none to boogie. it was pretty good music and we had heaps of fun! hahah the boys got some haha



we headed into nathans hot dog and man the hot dogs are so good! then caught the taxi back home. man it was a really good night and there were some good looking american guys haha



30th june sat... we got ready by 11am amazingly and waited for the boys get to the hostel. hah they definietly had the walk of shame! we were starving so went to a cafe and burgers and fries! omg they were so good! after that we spent a while in h and m, omg haha then headed down town to ground zero, and man was that intense!!! it was really eeerie and really intense. some of the gurls checked out the museum but i didnt coz iäm waiting for hq to come so i wonät need to do it twice. but they said that it was really intense, but i will have to tell u what its like. we went to century 21 which is suppose to be a really good discount store of major brands but is pretty shit

we then made our way to battery park to for a rest and a had another hot dog from some stupid hot dog stand run by dodgy indians... hahah dont noe why i just didnt go to another. we then walked over to catch the staten island ferry that cruises past the statue of liberty for free to staten island. that was pretty cool coz we got to see whole of manhattan skyline as well as the statue of liberty which is so puiney. hahah well not as big as they make it out to be. when we got off we decided to catch the subway back to times square coz we wanted to go to the ambercrombie and fitch store. we walked around a whole block just to find the friggin subway entry and it was just infront of us the whole time! hahah

when we got there we had to walk up like 10 streets along 5th avenue and man all the shops are there like the big brands such as armani versace etc as well as the trump towers and the nba store! we finally got to a and f, and boy itäs prob the best store iäve ever been into. itäs like a nightclub, so really dark and loud music pumping. the people who work there are the models for the labels and theres topless guys at the door trying to invite u into the store! hahah so yeh itäs a pretty cool concept and itäs 4 storeys high! haha but yeh all the guys are pretty hot and so are the chicks but they sure noe it! hahah

after that we were hell hungry and everyone was pretty edgy so we caught the subway back to penn station and we decided to go to tgi friday...on a saturday... for dinner haha
finally we made it and man it was so good! haha jack daniels burger all the way! with a milkshake, the traditional american diner meal! hehe after dinner everyone was pretty amped again!.. to go home! haha but yeh everyone was in a good mood again!

we made our way to the train station and caught the train back home! we met up with the swedish porn stars at secaucus and made our way back to ramsey 17. once again we encounter stupid dodgy taxi drivers who are always late and canät talk proper english! argh i hate taxi drivers here!!!!!!!
