Taking a much-needed break

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to let you know that I am in the last week before camp, so I won't be able to write until after I return.

I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder, hallelujah for that!  Feels SO much better.  I just don't want to deal with pain while I am at camp.  After that, the orthopedic doctor told me that I probably WON'T need surgery, (YAY), but he would do a procedure in his office to repair the cartilage as an outpatient.  It is not as invasive as actual surgery, he said.  Until then, I have to continue going to physical therapy.

So yeah, next Friday the 23rd, I'm OUTTA HERE to enjoy the best 9 days of the entire year, at camp.  I can't WAIT!!!  I am in need of some fun.  These past few months have been nothing but crap.  Time for some happy debauchery.

Did I mention that they asked ME to be in charge of the Naked Women's Party this year?!  Yes indeed, I've been doing all sorts of fun planning for that!  I've made a roulette wheel, "Wheel of Phallus," with tiny fake penises all around, and prizes to give away for all 6 categories on the board.  Then I made a "Cocky fun Ring Toss" game, with my penis shaped squirt gun as the center target.  hehehehehehehe

You know, it never really occurred to me that you might be a prude, and may not "approve" of my silly camp adventures.  You may just think I'm a freak, or a tacky sleaze ball.  But, I just assumed you were cool.  I just don't know anymore.  I would LIKE to continue thinking you're cool, but then again, I don't know you at all, so I could be totally wrong.

I am still sad about Kim and Kathy, but I am not going to beg anyone to stick around in my life if they really don't want to.  I have put out the message to them both that if they want to talk anytime, my door is always open.  So, it's all up to them.  I just have to let it go.  Damn shame though.  Stupid damned shame.  Such an unnecessary reason to end a friendship.  But, I know I am a great friend to those around me who truly know me.  I tried my best to be a good friend to them too, but apparently some people just can't seem to get a joke.

So from now on, I do not want to get too close to other female fans of Steve Perry, for obvious reasons. I have also removed all of the 'Steve Perry stuff'  from my office wall and put it all away.  (plaques, autographed stuff, etc).  I am just not in the mood anymore to keep being hurt by the one thing I love most.  Ya know?  I've been through that before, with Allen Craft and all his stupidity.  I don't need anymore drama in my life.  Seriously.

I still peruse various fan pages on Facebook, but not as often.  I removed myself from several others.  I'm just no longer in Steve Perry mode.  Sorry, but that's how I feel right now.  You're awesome, of course, that will never change.  But I just don't think this blog is fulfilling my need for writing anymore, and if people are just going to be stupid and get all bent outta shape over it, then I feel it's probably best not to write a goddamned thing anymore.

Well, that's where I'm at right now.  I do hope you will have a nice couple of weeks, though, and I will do my best to jot down the highlights of every day at camp so that I can write one last DOOZY of a post for this silly blog-o-mine.

Bye for now.

Love, Rebecca
