Awake With Conan

April 20th, 2004
New Q&As on the FAQ page! Lol, tonight I watched the majority of Conan O'Brien, who is freakin' hilarious by the way. :D He and Ben Stiller were doing that funny thing: "In the year 2000!" Hehe...and I watched Leno before that and he had a little kid who was only about 5 or 6 on his show. This kid was totally adorable and the reason he was a guest was because he is this super-fanatic about dinosaurs and knows oodles of things (we're talking numbers and dates, etc) about them. Leno had him jumping around stage doing dino impressions, it rocked! :D And for some reason I still can't go to sleep now so I'll do a re-cap on my day since it was pretty fantastic! Today was a really really good day! I turned in my 8-page paper for Government class with no stress involved...went to my college bible group and had TONS of laughs...and then finally came home to a message on my answering machine about the summer camp job I applied for! Yes, to those who don't know I was trying to get a job as a counselor at this camp I went to as a kid. I totally love that camp! They called me Sunny there because I always wore a yellow hat and apparently was pretty cheery. :) I had been kind of hoping that the same camp directors that ran the camp when I was younger would still be there...so when I heard the message I kind of had a hunch that at least one of them still worked there because the voice sounded really familiar! So I call the number back and immediately the first thing I hear is "Melissa???" I say yes, then realize that the person I'm talking to probably has caller ID, lol....and THEN she says..."Is this Sunny??"...I'm like YES!! I hear her whisper excitedly "Ahhh! It IS her!....Sunny! This is Pokey and I'm talking to Leo on another line!" I just about died when she said that :D ...those are the camp names of my past camp directors! They're still there! HORAY! I end up talking to Pokey for an hour and a half...reminiscing about camp days and past counselors and people who worked there when I was a camper...it just boggles my mind how she and Leo could remember me after all these years! Leo had gotten my application from the main camp office because I put their specific camp down as a preference...she and Pokey had been wondering if it was really the Melissa (aka Sunny) that they knew from camp way back in the 90s, lol. It's just so awesome! And I got the job! Pokey wants me to come early so I can take her lifeguarding class for counselors and get certified in that and CPR. That'll be good times. I am so looking forward to this summer! It's gonna be a blast! :D Well I better attempt to try and sleep, have a great week everyone and good luck on finals if you have them anytime soon! :D
