#anyways Abstinence Camp is my absolute favorite I love it so much

[man-down-in-hatchet-town]

-incredible puppeteering and design from Nick L ang

-arguably the two best songs in Nightmare Time?

-Some of the funniest moments too!

-Top notch, iconic performances from every single cast member, ESPECIALLY JON AND KIM

-“I outta cover you in syrup!”

Why I Love Abstinence Camp:

- Lautski introduced

- The cross-universe canon between it and NPMD

- Discussion of the dangers and hypocrisy of purity culture and a healthy portrayal of the idea that wholesome and loving characters and relationships do not have to be explicitly non-sexual (as long as they are consensual, of course). Sex and intimacy are not inherently evil things as society makes them out to be, and it is purity culture that becomes dangerous in the minds of the extremists that punish acts of love and passion.

- The cheesy camp slasher cliches

When was the last time you were at an amusement park? This time last week, actually. I miss it. :( When was the last time you cried out of physical pain? I experience physical pain all the time, but I don’t remember the last time I cried out from it.  Have you ever done anything to Support the Troops? Yes.

Do you donate blood? No. I’m underweight and anemic.  Are you wearing two shirts? No. Have you ever owned the socks with toes on them? Probably.

All I cook is ramen. Is there a lot of laundry in your hamper? No. When do you think you’ll have children? Never. Can you point out constellations in the night sky? I think I’ve seen the Big Dipper before while in Arizona. They have clear, beautiful night skies full of stars. What was your favorite part about studying ancient Greeks and Romans? Not my favorite subjects, honestly. Have you ever eaten a gyro? Nope. What’s your favorite flavor of Tootsie pops? I don’t care for those. Or suckers/lollipops in general. As a kid I did really like those caramel apple and Jolly Rancher suckers, though. What’s the last thing you bought at a mall? Clothes. Where did your mom go to high school? I’m not sharing that. What’s a subject you would never major in? I majored in psych, so any other subject than that ha. Even though that was a complete waste cause I haven’t done anything with that and I don’t want to. :/ I don’t know what else I would have done; though, honestly. Is there someone who you can turn to for money and not be ashamed? My parents or brother. When’s the last time you took a bubble bath? Not since I was a kid. Have you ever swam in a river? No. Are there any dirty clothes underneathe your bed? No. I have a hamper for that. I don’t like throwing clothes on the floor. What food do you love the smell of while it’s cooking? Garlic always smells amazing. And any dessert. What food do you hate the smell of uncooked? Uhhh. Has a bee ever stung you? No. Where did you last go camping? Never been. In what month do you start Christmas shopping? Last year I was good (good for me anyway) and started the first week of November. I usually wait until the end for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to get started. A lot of stores, especially online, have early Black Friday sales now. Have you ever slept in a bed with someone with bad BO? No. Do you have a favorite flavor at Baskin Robbins? It’s been like 6 years since I’ve been to one and even then I didn’t go out for/ eat ice cream that much, but when I did I usually got cake batter or strawberry.

Overheated car would cause more reason for concern, but possibly getting stuck in the middle of nowhere would be scary, too. What’s the safest form of transportation? By car, I guess. Or is it flying? Do you believe that kids should be taught abstinence? Okay well you said kids, and in my very strong opinion kids shouldn’t be having sex first and foremost, so yes absolutely. My first sex ed class was in 6th grade, though. Kids are curious and start hearing about things, so yes they should be properly educated on what sex is and whatnot. We learned about puberty and the anatomy and stuff at that time, as well as about condoms and birth control. Abstinence should definitely be included in that. Education on safe sex is obviously important, but they also need to know that abstinence is an option and that they don’t have to feel pressured to have sex. I personally think abstinence should be strongly encouraged until you’re a consenting adult, but I understand there are teenagers that have sex and they need to know how to go about it safely.  When’s the next time you’ll go to the grocery store? Probably this weekend. When’s the last time you went to Chuck E. Cheese? My former best friend actually celebrated her 19th birthday there lmao. I have no idea why, that’s just what she wanted to do for some reason. What’s your favorite cheese or cheese flavored food? I loveeeeee cheese.

Do you like black licorice? Yep, one of the rare few. Black jellybeans, too. Those are the only good jellybeans, honestly. As a kid when we’d get candy in class we’d trade and I always got the black jellybeans. For Easter my mom would just get a bag of ‘em haha. Can you count to 100 in another language? Yeah, in Spanish. What’s the nearest thing to you that can bounce? There isn’t anything. Do you hate cleaning? Yep. Do you clear dishes in the garbage disposal or in the garbage can? I scrape most of it off in the garbage can and then whatever little bit is left I rinse off in the sink. Do you watch anything on the E! network? Yeah, a few things. Have you ever tried out or thought of trying out for American Idol? Haha no. I can’t sing. I’m not one of those people who sing horribly but think they can sing. I know I can’t. Where’s your car keys? I don’t have a car, therefore no car keys. Did you keep any momentos of high school dances? I still have my corsage from my senior prom. It’s in a Zip-loc bag all crusty and dead lmao. Do you still have clothes from your high school dances? No. I wish I still had my dress from senior prom. I have my high school class shirts; though, and a couple from the club I was in. The last person you laid in bed with said… I don’t remember. Probably something about what happened that day. My mom and I shared a bed last week at the hotel cause my brother had the other bed. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? Nope. Which celebrities would you want to hang out with at a bbq? Alexander Skarsgard, obvs. The Riverdale main cast also seems cool. Do you think you could do better drawings than Napolean Dynamite? Haha nope. What are you doing on Superbowl Sunday?

I want to know, but also don't, if whether or not how I treated Jason after the breakup was abusive or not. I've asked people in my life, old therapist included, if it was from what I told them (which was honest), and the unanimous answer has been no, that I was sick/actually insane and heartbroken beyond words, but yeah. I still wonder about it. Do you have a bucket list? If so, what are the top three things?

I almost never do unless I want to take a "pretty" picture. Talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some way. JINKIES!!!!!!! UHHHHHHH man that's hard 'cuz there's a whole whoppin' load. I guess I can talk about some lyrics from Ozzy's "Life Won't Wait" that used to make me really emotional back in the dark days: "Every day that you wait, you're falling faster / no sleight of hand, no twist of fate, no ever after / when it's gone - it's gone, a fight to the bitter end." Just that whole song used to sting so much when I felt like I really was just entirely wasting my life being sad every day. Just like... a lot of Ozzy's lyrics have really resonated and stuck with me. I still have the hardest time believing the Parkinson's news. God, life's cruel. Poison a legendary singer's voice. I hope, so long he feels truly capable, this concert still happens so I can actually hear and see him one time and literally sob and okay I'm getting emotional basically I Love Ozzy Osbourne. List the concerts you have been to and talk about how they make you feel. Ha, speaking of concerts. Only seen Alice Cooper, but it was aaaaaaamazing! Outside in a (mostly light) thunderstorm playing some classic good shit. It was a fun adventure, especially having my younger sis, a full-on redneck, come along just because she was bored and came for the ride. She was so, so, SO confused and creeped out and was NOT fucking happy when he brought his python on stage as he usually does. We were absolutely drenched when it was over; the ride home, we were freezing, and changing out of those soaked clothes was like a holy experience. Who in the world would you most like to receive a letter from and what would you want it to say? Jason telling me he forgives me and doesn't hate me.
