Miss Marissa has a challenge

[miss_marissa]

Hi.

 

I have a little post-camp depression. I'm cuddled up with my couch.

 

Eventually you guys will get a write up of camp and some goals, but right now my wristband is turned red and I haven't left my apartment.

 

Love you sexy nerds.

 

 

Edit: I have goals

The Red Wristband of Introvert Safety™ has spoken.  Go easy on that poor couch though; it has feelings too, you know!

[Raxie]

Ugh I am so with you on those feeeeellls.  Today I've eaten half a pizza, taken a sick day, slept for 14 hours, and watched movies with my new NF shirt on and my wrist band turned to red. 

Miss you!

[RedStone]

Missed yoooo

we've decided it is called delayed onset nerd feels.

 

i also can't stop crying.

And I'm about to start because I feel left out for not going to camp.

[wildross]

I have 2 year old nerd feels (went to camp 1)

[Tanktimus the Encourager]

Raxie and I decided that the forums are the methadone of CNF. I'll never forget how you flew at camp (literally). Meeting you was very awesome.

When you get the feels remember, we are just on the other side of that screen. When you get the feels remember, a battle speech is available upon request. When you get the feels remember what Steve said, "you are never alone."

 

Seriously though, those feels suck.

Yeah, all the returning nerds from camp are all talking about their feels. Which in turn is making me have all the feels and I wasn't even there.

 

I lived vicariously through instagram all weekend and now I am getting second-hand feels.

That about sums it up for me :'(

#redband will be a global thing soon enough. There are too many introverts out there for it not to be.

I also remember Steve saying it was just for fun.....

Every year! I'm looking forward to the invasion of the Nerds next weekend to make me feel less left out.

PS Did you see that my training buddy joined the boards???

@spezzy and I FULLY intend to make sure the energy of camp comes to the forum every. single. day.

[Gainsdalf the Whey]

Boards are definitely helping. I've reached the point this morning where I don't feel like sobbing when I think about camp. Ride home and all day yesterday I was a wreck though.

Even though I've just returned from camp I've got mad FOMO on this one.

If you can get here, you're very welcome still.

 

There's an open invitation to all Nerds who swing by Edinburgh at any time!

Couches are good like that. They don't judge and they make you feel like you are expressing your feels on a cloud.

Hey boo. <3

I connect with this on a deep level. I did all of those things also. Batman cartoons + pizza heals all nerd withdrawals. 

Miss you too!!!

I was doing just fine until I read these replies.  It really saved my fragile emotional health that I ran into all of you at the airport to help pass the time until my flight.

 

Seriously, you guys made Camp so great... so. fucking. great!

 

[miss_marissa]

Are you guys ready for like, the longest feels post ever? 

 

 

@Steve- Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can’t say it enough. Thank you for creating this amazing community of people and bringing us all together for a weekend in the woods like the big bunch of weirdos that we are. You are even more genuine and incredible than I could ever have imagined. Loading plates with you at the PL comp will be one of my favorite memories from camp: making jokes and doing bad math. The fact that you had yourself scheduled for 1 hour of book signing and went for over 2.5 hours is mind blowing to me! Not because that many people showed up, but because you took the time to talk to and get to know every damn person in that line and ask us about our goals and why we came to camp. And you were eager to hear the answers, not out of some misplaced sense of duty, but because you genuinely cared and want to see each of us succeed. Again the fact that you danced with me at the glow party to some purple lamborghini (heeeeeyyyy) and chased me down for a hug and a good night at 2 am when you saw me leaving to head back to my cabin. A few of us were even talking in AWE of the physical progress you have made since we all first joined NF, you look great and it definitely shows how hard you have been working

(P.S. I’m already crying you guys. dammit.)

 

NF Staff and Wizards- Thank you guys for working so hard to put on this incredible event! I can’t even imagine the hours that went in behind the scenes to pull this together.

 

Kitchen Staff - Can we talk about the unsung heroes of this camp?!?! For real. These guys worked their tails off all weekend and had the HUGEST smiles on their face the whole time. And we convinced at least 2 of them to join NF. Hell to the yes.

 

Headmasters!!

Dakao- you are such a wonderful soul. Your passion and excitement truly shines through everything that you do and I truly enjoyed capoeira with you and talking to you at meal times.

 

Robin - I want to shrink you and keep you in pocket and take you with me to gymnastics class every week and have you stretch me out like you did before tricking class. Holy shit, that was amazing. Also, you are super encouraging and inspiring and the fact that you took the time to tell me how awesome I was picking up some of the moves from tricking is a memory I will certainly cherish.

 

Jen - Your kettlebell class absolutely kicked my ass, but I learned so much. Thank you for telling me that you are obsessed with my KB swing and that I am strong, because I am. You are an inspiration for me to keep going on this journey and keep lifting heavy ass shit.

 

Peter - Damn you for conning me into doing crossfit, even though I ended up having a blast.

 

Kate G - You are a fountain of knowledge. Thank you for sharing that with all of us that went to camp. I’m so excited to implement things that you have taught me.

 

Maddie & Amy- Thank you for helping me to realize that I am worth more than the food on my plate, the number on the scale or the size of my jeans. Eating chocolate cake does not make me less valuable of a person, nor does not having the “perfect” body. I am delicious just the way I am

 

@spezzy -Thank you for helping to organize and put on an incredible powerlifting competition! It ran super smooth and I’m blown away by the participation and the numbers everyone put up. You are even nicer than I imagined in person and it was a pleasure getting to finally meet you.

 

@Gainsdalf the Whey, @ixaera, @Tanktimus the Encourager, @wovercast, @Sam Ashen, @Flex Luthor, Staci - I can’t even put into words how elated I was meeting each of you in person for the first time after talking for months/years online. (Or in the case of Flex and Ken meeting you again for more than just a few hours) Each of you exceeded my expectations of awesomeness and I feel that even though we had just met IRL, that you are already some of my best friends. An extra special shoutout to Chad for the last leg of the ride to camp and teaching me a new song and helping me solve my first Rubiks Cube!!!

 

KD22 roomies - You fucking guys. Can I say best cabin ever???? Fuck it, I’m saying it. Best. Cabin. Ever. I’m voting next year to just drag our mattresses out to the porch and slumber party from day 1. Because that was the best. You Tennessee Honey drinking sons-of-bitches.

 

Trent and @Amdhiel - I love that we were able to share a car for 30+ hours together and came out of it not wanting to strangle each other. In fact, I would do that shit again. In a heartbeat. You guys are amazing, thanks for making the trip awesome and the car ride interesting.

 

Madison nerds: @maigrey, @Haikoo, Amdhiel, etc - It was awesome watching each of you break out of your shell and really be in your own element. I could see how much all of you grew over this weekend and I am so hype to keep this train rolling. #accountabilibuddies

 

@Raxie, @Rurik Harrgath, @darkfoxx, @RisenPhoenix, @Big_Show, @StarGazer - I have only interacted with most of you briefly, if at all, prior to camp but you all, along with those above made camp the amazing experience that it was. Particularly Raxie and Rurik, you guys have now become some of my favorite people ever and I’m truly honored to call you my friends.

 

Plus so many others who either aren’t on forums or I don’t know their name. You all are my people and I love every last one of you. I’m so glad I have found my tribe, somewhere we can all be together with no judgement, no bullshit, and just be ourselves and have an amazing time. I screamed, cheered and sang so fucking hard that I gave myself laryngitis. You guys, I made myself physically sick because I was so fucking excited for each and every one of your PRs, 20 seconds of courage and general badassery. Just let that sink it. You motherfuckers are inspiring and jaw dropping and I can’t wait until we take over the fucking world.
