Hey waitlisters! Waitlistees? Waiters? Remember last week when Riese asked all 300 (eeek! I know!) of you if you’d like a chance to skip the waitlist and go straight to A-Camp? Well, the tissue box has spoken and we’ve got our contest winners.
Are you excited? We’re excited! If your name has been called, email riese [at] autostraddle dot com and she’ll get you started processing your registration! Remember that you have to make a $50 non-refundable deposit when you register.
Laura is a tiny girl who wishes she were a superhero. She likes talking to her grandma on the phone and making things with her hands. Strengths include an impressive knowledge of Harry Potter, the ability to apply sociology to everything under the sun, and a knack for haggling for groceries in Spanish. Weaknesses: Chick-fil-a, her triceps, girls in glasses, and the subjunctive mood. Follow the vagabond adventures of Laura and her bike on twitter [@laurrrrita].
Laura has written 308 articles for us.
We’re fundraising for 7 more days so that Autostraddle can survive as long as possible.
God I wish you had to have a webcam rolling when you watched that video – I would love to see the reactions of the lucky six!
Congrats all, have a great time.
OH MY GOD I AM SHRIEKING IN MY SCHOOL LIBRARY RIGHT NOW
I AM BESS BY THE WAY IDK IF THAT WAS CLEAR
Besssssss! (i kept wanting to call you beth so bad)
I get that a lot! Though most of my friends aren’t comfortable saying Beth because they feel like they’re saying Bess but with a lisp.
Also I kind of blanked for a moment when you said my name, I had to go back and re-watch to make sure I hadn’t imagined it.
Is this real life!!?!

Hmm, did anyone else think the tissue box looked totally vag-tastic at the start?
And the next name,
that I am going to call,
that will continue on in the hopes of becoming,
Autostraddle’s Next Top/Bottom/whatevs A-Camper is..
(yes I pictured Laura being all Tyra-licious)
oh my gosh i can’t believe i missed an opportunity to be tyra.
these are my feelings about this missed opportunity, laura.
Before I clicked on that. I was wondering how you were going to relate the vaseline clip to this context.
And this is why I like you.
that picture of chloe has to go in the camp brochure if there ever is one!
also I feel like I’m having a strange déjà vu re. laura drawing names out of a box. why is that? was there drawing before this? am i crazy
yes laura has drawn names before!
while searching for it i discovered this gem of a video featuring alex and i drawing names out of a plastic bag:
and then i finally found laura drawing names out of a hat:
thanks!love the bag.also this made me stumble upon TLW:WTF!? again. it’s perfect
I won I won!!! I’m so excited. I’m in!
Omg Sarah Freeman! Who are you? That’s my birth name. I want to meet you :)
Also, was there ever a documentary posted from camp? I think I missed it!
I believe that you are the reason I used my middle name! I know of your existence through a mutual friend and heard that you might be going to A-Camp. Is this true?
GOD COULD LAURA BE CUTER OR MORE PERFECT?!
also
CONGRATS YOU WONDERFUL WINNING HUMANS!
