Shellfish makes me think of a girl I went to summer camp with who was allergic to shellfish. She would set herself up to have allergic reactions. I’m sorry, but I think she wanted attention. I know that’s not nice, but she was always having an allergic reaction!
And I remember one time… So it was like a crazy, all-girls, outdoor camp in the middle of Georgia on a mountain. My mom went there. It was a Girl Scout camp and then it was an all girls camp but we did all Girl Scout things. Every two weeks, we would go and sleep in the woods with just sleeping bags and we would make a latrine out of wood and you had to sit on the latrine and poop into a hole…
Yea, so actually it was cool! You would latch one stick to the tree on one side of the tree, and then on the other side of the tree, you’d put another stick and so you would hold it while you pooped, while you sat on the stick.
It was asthma. She had a lot of allergies… and asthma. And I don’t remember what it was, but we had gone into the woods, and we’ve made our fires and all the bullshit. We did all the stuff. We sang the songs. We got weird. My camp was kinda weird. We were very close, you know?
And then the next morning, I don't know... how she was feeling... this sounds so heartless, but I think she decided to have an asthma attack. I'm sorry! I think she was faking it! I just remember my counselor asking "Where are our runners?" Because we had runners for emergencies. They were amazing runners, and they were like “The runners are ready!” And they ran to the infirmary and they were just splashing her face with water.
And the whole time I was pissed because I knew she was faking it! She was always having a reaction.... We're still Facebook friends...
