Hey Aimee!

I would love some more info about your camp! Anything I can do to get away from TN, and huge "flying roaches" as one of my sisters down here calls them, would be GREAT!

As far as other insects...

Daddy Long Legs I can deal with at this age. Although I would never say I'm a huge fan. I still freak if they're crawling on me. (A camping trip w/ the Phi Delta Theta's had me somewhat face that fear!)

As far as West Nile goes, we had it really bad in TN last summer, so although the thought of actually catching it FREAKS me out, I can handle mosquitos. And rather unsually I'm at all scared of snakes. I'd rather be bitten by a snake than to see any kind of bug

I also have a funny story a/b scorpions.
So for Rush retreat we go to a place called camp Lookout. It's on Lookout mountain a/b 1/2 hour away from the chapter house. Well, the cabins are all spread out. The late-nighters got put in a cabin about a mile away from everyone. So we're all sitting in the common-room one night and all the sudden my <> points and screams. I turn around to look and, low and behold, it was this HUGE scorpion heading right for my leg... You've never seen someone go from laying down to standing up and out of the cabin in a matter of seconds. Then someone killed it.
So we thought the excitement was over for one night so we all went to our bedrooms to lay down. Next thing I know I hear one of the girls screaming bloody murder... so we all run into her room, and on the floor on top of her pillow is another scorpion bigger than the one we killed earlier. Needless to stay we all went and slept in our cars for the night!
