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!!?!

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?!
