042- FINALLY HAVING AN EXCUSE TO USE THESE ICONS ROCKS.

[Imagine if you will, this scenario. Eighteen year old Gabriel Too-Awesome-For-A-Last-Name sitting in someone's office and using the PA as his own personal voicebox to make his own personal announcements.... Okay, that's just the scenario that Gabriel is imagining in his currently extremely fluffy head, because it would be so cool if he'd really hijacked the PA System, but really he's just sitting in the counselor's cabin with his journal and a smugly superior tone of voice. If anyone knew what Gabriel actually sounded like here, they'd notice he sounds a little more high-pitched and a little less like he swallowed West Tennessee.]

And let's give a big round of applause for our Camp Manager. [Pause for the aforementioned applause. He can totally hear if you're not applauding.] I can assure you that the rumors that our Fearless Leader is an alien and this camp is his way of harvesting his favorite snacks- young, impressionable teenagers- are completely untrue. Those missing campers were found completely unharmed.

....I think.

[He pauses for dramatic effect.] But really, what you have to worry about isn't El Capitan in all his mysterious glory. Ohhh nooo, kids. The real problem? Is out there in the woods. Y'know, the whole... Monster thing. Buuut that's probably just a myth. Just like the alligators in the lake.

[Another pause. He bursts out laughing.] Kidding! They cleared those out last year. ....Maybe. Well, I, personally, haven't seen any, buuut.... [He shrugs, even though no one can see it. Or the comical faces he's making. Oh well.]

Anyway! Guess I should introduce myself. I'm Gabriel, one of your caring, compassionate camp counselors [ISN'T ALLITERATION FUN?], and I'm here to make sure your camping experience is the best that it can be. In fact, we're gonna start now. Don't do anything stupid to make me come down there and throw you in the lake, and I'll just... Leave you in the capable hands of some of the sticks in the mud that actually took this job for the life experience. You know who you are.

In the meantime... Ladies? You know where my cabin is. Same place it is every year. Be there. [Can you feel his eyebrow-waggling?

....No. No, we don't know how he keeps getting this job.]

But it's tradition! I can't break with tradition. It's... Untraditional.

[identity profile] lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Non-traditional. There is no such word as untraditional.

You can't just make up words. You're not the...word maker...person.

Hey! When the English language beat up all the other languages and then rifled their pockets for spare vocabulary, there had to be some other guy going, "Well, what about this word?" I could be that guy! You never know.

Untraditional doesn't even sound good. It sounds stupid.

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what also sounds stupid? Fork. No one complains about forks, though.

[identity profile] lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Fork. Of all the things that you complain about, you start with fork?

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a really weird word. Okay?

[identity profile] lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're going to complain, you should have a reason.

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not a good enough reason? Okay. How about antidisa... Antidisastableah... That one word. What does that even mean? I think some guy just made up that word, so wiseass kids could win spelling bees.

[identity profile] lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even counselor!Uhura likes language...]

Antidisestablishmentarianism. It's a term from history. God, it's not that hard to pay attention in school.

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Awww.]

Huh?

...Oh. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention.

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Or am I just so smart, I've convinced everyone that I'm an idiot. Like Columbo!

Whatever.

[identity profile] painhumbles.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I graduated!

...On a technicality.
