True Love Forever Day/Tell A Joke Day/Janmashtami/Roller Coaster Day

Today was another incredible day. Slept from the time I reached camp until about 11 am, when I woke up to do a bit of reading. All I had today was a rather unnecessary briefing in the afternoon. Am quite hooked on Vanity Fair at the moment. Becky Sharp is wickedly delightful with her scheming. I could see myself as a Becky Sharp, assuming I had been born in the right century. As it is, all I exercise is my wit, which is languishing now that my daily audience consists mainly of people from camp, who are really very different from me once you look beyond surface similarities like being JC students. The only person here I have anything in common with is Wilson, and I've already got too many friends elsewhere to want to move beyond being acquaintances with him. It's partly because I sense that if I really got to know him, I wouldn't like him very much. Our core personalities are too different, whatever we might project to the rest of the world. I'm usually an excellent judge of character, at least when it comes to deciding if said character conflicts with mine.
