If you have any random memories that I would be familiar of: please send an email with as much detail as possible.

*I'd just like to say- this will be my most ambitious narration to date. This is not about a dance or a celebration. We had celebrations, remorse, and drama everyday at CTY Lancaster. 200 people to mention. 68 to analyze. Three weeks of journals. I will try to most accurately remember all the events at CTY and I'd gladly accept help from anyone. I knew I was going to write all about my experience. That's why I took time out of my day to sit down- have chats with random people- and keep their thoughts in mind. Each night, I'd summarize the day- and store the specific, mostly humorous events in my head.  Please be patient: I have this, wolfyserver.org main site, the forums, and summer reading to do. It might take a while.

- planning out the prolonged narration:

PART I: Prelude (Introduction - brevity need not apply here)

PART II: Damn my roommate! He's going to ruin everything! (First impression, setting, situation, novel yet familiar experience)

PART II: "I will be this hall's 24 hour nonstop euro-dance and trance DJ." (Setting the turntables.)

PART III: Welcome to Writing 1C (Ms. Etkins, Outside the Box, Hot girls, writing longhand)

PART IV: "Wilson You Gots to Clean Up your shit." (Our hall: the Batcave. DJ's crew. N-dawg, George. The girls. DJ's Window)

PART V: Dance Dance Summer Dance! (Warming up to Lucy)

Part VI: We each got 300 people who know us! (Ambition, Acclaim, Approbation)

PART VI: Lucy let down your hair (Relationships, "You can tell DJ anything.")

PART VII: "Fatten! I win!" (The fun of it all.)

PART VIII: Final Fantasy VIII (Talking instead of partying.)

PART IX: Big brother to them. (Believing in Regrets)

PART IX: The Passion Fruit (Closing Tears)

PART X: Heartbreaks, New Beginnings, No more Spam. (The last day.)

PART XI: "Yeah but I had to put up with your spam." (The CTY withdrawl)

PART XII: Fin (Conclusion, Final Thoughts, Thanks, We'll KIT)

PART I: PRELUDE - EXPERIMENTAL 1ST DRAFT: Thoughts Only - No thesaurus.

As I look back on my past CTY experiences, it's apparent that they just got better and better. Lancaster Session 2 meant a lot to me not only because three years before I was at the right place, at the right time; but since I am sixteen years old and a "no more." The first time I came to Lancaster was in eighth grade, and I was awed by the dances, activities and traditions. Even though Lancaster 2002's dances were lackluster and a far cry from "dance dance summer dance," I've found many other aspects that made my second year here outdo the first. It's all the little things that happened each and every day, that truly made CTY worthwhile and spectacular. I know I won't be able to remember those details later on, so this not-so-brief synopsis will act as a symbol of remembrance for me, my fellow campers and friends. ("What's your purpose? -Ms. Etkins) This will be a personal narrative structured as a journal. Viewers, if you would like me to add anything, please send some mailage my way.
