Speaking of nostalgia...
That which is YCTC...
Be careful about who you fall asleep near. You may wind up with 'balls' written in sharpie on your forehead, and trust me, it will not come off by the day of the show. If someone spontaneously lays claim to one of your body parts, do not debate the matter. Oh, about the odd breathing coming from under your bed, don't worry- it's probably Matt. If you see a skinny white kid with a Yiddish accent running down the hall half naked, don't worry- It's probably Matt. Though some people may try to convince new campers otherwise, IcyHot does not go with genetalia. Do not be coerced. The song 'The Blower's Daughter' will induce excessive weeping in some members of the camp body. Don't ask me what the hell a blower is or how it has a daughter, I don't know. If you make noise while various campy scifi tv series are being watched, you will be shot several times in the spleen. At some point, you will sacrifice your firstborn child and/or your maidenhead. It's Shakespeare camp, yes, we say 'maidenhead'. Running lines + laundry room = <3 Counselors will and do talk about the campers when they're not around. Expect them to have inside jokes about each and every one of us and snigger behind their hands when we walk by. Natasha Solomon is a ninja and can kill you 70 different ways with her thumbs. Tom Dumontier is more of a man than you will ever be. Do you have the balls to wear pink shorts? I didn't think so. Your innocence will be pwned within 24 hours. It's called Young Company Innuendo Camp for a reason. Dr. Menzer will pwn what innocence you have left after that. Loud and creative swearing emanating from the Rec Room signals that there is a game of Halo being played and Brandon is probably involved. If you are a boy, going to the Nunnery during break is a good idea. There are naked girls. However, they may scream and beat you over the head with their Complete Works. If the camp director suddenly begins to berate the entire camp body for no apparent reason, there will be a wild dance party in a few minutes. Nobody knows who Silvia is, but everyone wants her dead. If the song "Cell Block Tango" is playing in any room, do not enter if you are male. You will be eaten by a mass of raging feminists. Be careful whom you allow to do your laundry: it may not come back. The counselor-gods are quite serious when they tell you to go to bed. Unless you have offerings. If you have offerings that please them, they'll do your room last. Tuesday is for sex. Observe the holiday or Becca’s babymaker will break again Rec. room: strip pool is better than anything. There is no AC and you will see us all sweating Shakespeare. Everyone likes to run down hallways half naked. Hiding in the nunnery is fun. Especially when counselors are trying to make you go to bed If you walk in the room and find Fray Fray and Amalia dancing to Cher, while he is dressed as Elton John in snakeskin and large sunglasses and she has David Bowie makeup on, just go with it, and take lots of pictures (they will pose for you.) When you see Hope and Amalia acting out romantic novels while Man-Jack is reading aloud, accept it there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Accept and the YCTCness will wash over you. Fight scenes are better with lightsabers. They just are. It is possible to find deep meaning in the words "Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba ba daaaaah!" Directors can and will threaten to stab you in the pancreas with the leg of a table. But they won't if you learn your lines. One monologue can be done by six people. Kazoo is an appropriate instrument for a royal fanfare. Duke Senior and the forest lords are secretly elves, except Jaques who is a hobbit. (Also, Duke Senior and the Forest Lords would be an excellent name for a band.) Everything is a double entendre. EVERYTHING. Ask for wet nuts all in a row. DO NOT TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING IN YOUR ROOM! Unless you want your angry roommates to shoot you or want Wes to walk in on you half-naked. Camp time is the scariest six weeks of the resident troupe's lives. Try not to traumatize them. As in absolutely no glomping. It's okay if you don't know your audition piece until five minutes before audition- neither does anyone else. Unless you’re Becca who starts thinking about her audition piece for next summer as soon as camp ends. Every single living, breathing, thing will be deemed by Matt to have "capital knockers." Yes, ladies, he is talking about your breasts. Becca's room is the party room. Bras are optional, but they do make excellent hats. Bedtime is for chumps. Hiding in the nunnery is fun. Especially when counselors are trying to make you go to bed Dance parties can happen at any moment...be ready. Rick Blunt is a brick house Rides in Kevin's van are not for the faint of heart. Heath Ledger is sexier than Jake Gyllenhaal every day of the week, if you are speaking to Blunt. Germany is a crap director. The people wearing masks on the tops of their heads are going to kill your babies. One of the most fun camp sports is waking up people who sleep in on Sundays by screaming "WAKE THE FUCK UP, BITCHES!" into their rooms at 8 A.M. and then running away. Frances always wins in FACE-offs. Girls will spontaneously grow boobs when donning other girls' clothing. Fake blood DOES wash off. Pelvic thrusts ARE acceptable means of greeting. Speas is the embodiment of life and what BRINGS it!!!! Music is made by rocking out some diddley-dees. Ass-slaps are thought up by the DIRECTORS. NOT the campers. Guitars do NOT stay in tune, no matter how much cajoling they take. You WILL meet yourself, even if you change height, gender, or nationality. (As in Ross and Rin's case...)
