Summer Girl

	*summer is...

like sunshine on a cloudy day i stand before you now. i miss you

magical. i love her indefinitely. i think that she is the most awesome person in the world, and i know we'll be friends forever. that's a beautiful feeling you know. she is such a vibrant person, i am the luckiest girl in the world to know her. ~samara

energy and coolness personified. She's superintelligent, humorous, honest, outgoing, interesting, open-minded, and mature (but still crazy silly.) Her hair is such a a rad shade of blue and she has her own funky faerie rock style. Summer was always nice to me at camp and I respect her so much. bounce when yer happy! - Kim W.

beautiful, magical, bouncy, sweet, laughs beautifully, has a wonderful webpage, makes me happy, has wonderful hair, is so sexy and gorgeous!, inspiring, glittery (the list goes on.) ~jennyrose

and i started "we're all so rad". :-) ~the girl herself

so rad! so rad! so very very rad! plus she's from TEXAS! and she's heard of nanci griffith! summer, i love you more than warm & baggy pants. i wish we'd really talked, instead of me just being in your face all week trying to make you think i'm rad. jessica (wb)

Inspiring. Brilliant. Teller of hilarious stories. Shining example of all things spiffy about unschoolers/campers. As eloquent as a... an... well, something that is very very eloquent indeed... like really eloquent... -a platypus

The Famous Monkey-Distributing Supermarket Entertainer. If Summer just went around living out her stories and then coming to camp and telling us about them (perhaps involving or inspiring, along the way, those who crave such antics) that would be enough. But there's more... Reanna

FunFunFunFunFun!!! and funnY and Fabulous, and a great story-teller and a wonderful political cannidate, And she's on this page right now, saying wonderful things about other people.. hehe... ~Mr.z~

radiant and glowing in every way. and she freely shares her radiance, which makes her even more radiant! thoughtful, very thoughtful.. she is very much a discoverer, always experiencing life at its fullest. but most of all, she is extremely inspiring to me. being around her makes me feel so intense and sometimes all i can think is "wow" :-) -courtney

has a great smile, a great laugh, she makes you want to laugh or cry or sing or BoingyBoingy or hug her... she makes you feel like her friend even if you barely know her, and i will hold my memory of her always close to my heart. *k*a*t*e*

brilliant... one of my role models. she's got it all... incredible art & writing, a beautiful presence that makes you feel loved and accepted, cool stories, roller skates & wings! ~becca~

I have heard the stories and escapades of Summer, and I already cannot wait to meet her! I love the monkey tradition and the energy that I feel swelling when other people who have met her describe her to me... Fuzzhead

Summer has this really fun energy that makes you want to join in and bounce around or do whatever else she's doing. I love to watch her do things...she always seems like she's putting whatever she's got into whatever she's doing. It's very intense. -Robyn

Though I'm hardly familiar enough with her to consider myself even an acquaintance, I'm quite willing to assert, from observation of her writing, that she's an incredibly kewl person, possessed of a rare exubrancy/vibrancy in thought and word... -Aletheia

Summer, in my opinion, is a super-beautiful person with a talent for honesty, and she seems to have the ability to balance out both the serious and silly-fun sides of herself in equal amounts, which I really admire. She's brave and interesting, and I'm really glad I got the chance to talk with her a bit at camp this year. *hug* -Amy

Summer is my best friend in the whole world. Period. End of story. She keeps me alive. through blood, tears and fairy wings, we have stuck together, and always will. she is a poet, an artist, beautiful, amazing. i love her always. ~samara

summers fabulousness is immesurable. she is everyone's best friend and saviour. she is an amazing poet, writer, singer and storyteller... truly beautiful. ~carsie

Summer quite obviously believes in positive thinking. She also has an incredible sense of humor. - Liam

-Summer is always going to mean alot to me-shes amazing and beautiful and really undescribable... I miss her alot and i always wish we could be closer than we are.~rachel

... an obviously awesome girl whom I never got to know. ARGH!!! (whacking herself on the head with the keybord) She is clearly the cool person who created this AllSoRad place (thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!) and came up with the exercise in the first place (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!!). I think I talked to her once at camp this past year, and always wanted to get up the nerve to talk to her more, but I chickened out. She has an incredibly strong personality, and has a kick-ass storytelling style. I love her webiste, poetry, and just about everything I've ever seen of her. In fact, her page in the 1999 blissbook is soley responsible for "converting" one friend from my chorus to unschooling. In fact, she just got her parents to agree to let her out last week! That, in itself, is proof enough that Summer is a most incredible person. Samantha

Magnetic, creative, extremely extroverted and friendly. - Emma

Summer is a hella cool chick. She's really funny, and generally fun to be around. Did I mention fun? Oh I think I did. She's also really quite cute and has those awesome fairy wings! I can't wait to see her again this year at camp, and hopefully get to know her better :) - Zen

• Well, I saw her again this year, and I don't know if it's possible, but she gets cooler every time I talk to her! Wow. Wow is all I can say. She's just brave. - Zen

I finally got to meet Summer! Yey! Summer is so very wonderful. She's unique and confident and creative and fun and adorable. And very comfortable to sleep with ;) ~Erin

The words brutally honest come to mind... she's just so incredible... she's got a kick-butt fashion sense, she's incredibly thoughtful, imaginative, and artistic... just... wow. Summer just... is beyond words. I'm so glad I got to meet her. -JessicaSkater

Summer is honest and straightforward, has a great sense of style, and is always willing to look for the positive. -wanderlust

Summer . . . Geez. In all the words that I know and use usually, I'm having definate trouble thinking up the words that could ever describe this goddess. She's a roller skating fairy of poetry. She's a gorgeous ribbon of beauty that I just want to wind myself up in forever, to get caught in. I miss her like you miss something beautiful, lilke a shiny stone you find on the ground. You find it, you pocket it and somehow, although you never look at it or even think about it all that often, you always feel it there and you feel safe. But then you lose that stone and although you only had it for a week, you miss that shiny stone more than anything else in the world. Summer's like that shiny stone and now it's gone and there is always this little tight feeling in your heart, because you're afraid that you're never going to get it back. Summer is an inspiration to me so often, even before I met her. She is often the person that I'd like to be more like. She's so confidant and happy and a lovely person. I hope someday I'll be a fraction of how special this girl is. She's shinybeautifulgorgeoussparklydressypunkwithglittermylovelysummergirl. And I'll miss her and love her always! ~Jasmine~

Summer...is someone who'd immediately grok my new concept of "urban pixie," I'm sure. She has amazing style, writes so perceptively. Has many interesting things to say, and says them loudly and kindly. She loves people. She's someone I'd like to get to know better. Jenny

I love Summer more than any of the other seasons. She is the Queen of Camp. After knowing Summer for such a comparatively short time, I've found two things: That she is a good friendly sort of person always, and I can always count on her to be cooler than me at said time. "Blah blah blah rahpity pah" The immortal Kevin Spacey once said, and with that deep quote I'm going to let you chew on Summer for a while - JOnah all hail the QUeen!

no matter how much you think i love you; i love you more. i have had some of the raddest, most honest conversations with you i've ever had in my entire life; not just at camp. i felt/feel so amazingly close to you and open with you. and you are so fucking brilliant and creative and beautiful and sexy and are a great dancer and UNBELIEVABLE POET and have the most creative rockin sense of style in the universe. and.i.just.love.you. ~carsie

Summer, you are one of the most confident people i know, (Confidence is a really sexy and attractive trait) and you are an inspiration to me, to act like myself more often, and to live life the way i did, before things in my life started turning upside down, and basically went straight to hell.... like a dog whose head is out of the car window and his ears are flapping in the breeze.. teehee =)

 your fearlessness makes you very admirable and i thank you for being who
you are, dont ever change.

~nate~

PPPSSSHAA! deleting the long thought out entry i wrote about rhymi, what was that person thinking! anyways, rhymi, i DID make you a RAD mix tape, but it is sorta just sitting on my desk, ill mail it soon. Cheers, Nate

Summer, I never really got to talk to you at camp, but I wish that I had... I do remember that you giggled at my wierdness once... Anyhoo, I think that you are awefully interesting, and I often agree with you when I read something that you have posted on either Wiki or the list. Hazzah!
