Camping.
 campingpresent participle of camp (Verb)

Verb:

Live for a time in a camp, tent, or camper, as when on vacation. (of a man) Behave in an ostentatiously effeminate way: "he camped it up a bit for the cameras"  I don't know why but the idea of camping kind of terrifies me.. Obvious we're dealing with definition 1# here and not camping it up for the paps. That's a topic for some other time. I don't think it's a common fear but if you have seen either Brokeback Mountain or The Blaire Witch Project, it should be enough to turn you off camping for life... Not to mention the thoughts of trying to sleep in a paper thin sleeping bag on a rock hard ground in a tent thinner than Posh Spice.  No no, camping isn't for the faint hearted, especially because teens like to make camping more interesting with drink. I'm sorry but after I have a few, the last thing I want to be doing is ending up in some freezing tent with a this stranger Muhammed lying next to me. No.  American rom-coms give off a lovely impression of camping with a group of friends sitting around a fire with one ridiculously good looking guy sing kumbaya and playing the guitar perfectly. When in fact the harsh reality is, you will wake up looking completely shit due to lack of make-up supplies, a hair brush, A BATHROOM and a mirror. You're breath will smell and you'll most likely still be shitfaced from drinking until 4 in the morning.  If you've ever been camping, I'd love to hear all about, granted it's a decent story and not about camping with the scouts when you were 12. -Blog This.
