An interest story about a couple in my past

This is from a response I wrote to a question asked about my mentors, for details see my post on 11/14/2008 titled "Me and Alanis my Spiritual Guru".

When I was 11 years old, I went to a sleep-away-camp organized by the Young Women Christian Association (Y.W.C.A). I went only to be with my friends and to get a break from home-life. At the camp, I met this very religious young couple, who took an interest in me because I was very attentive during their religious sessions, especially during the sing-along portions. The interest they took in me was partly my fault, because back then, I very enthusiastic about singing and learning new songs. They mistook my enthusiasm for a devoted interest in religion and I decided to oblige them for several reasons including the fact that they were Geminis like me (both of them have the same birthday), they were a cute couple, I was too nice, and I thought I would never see them again. To my dismay, they stayed in my life a few months after the camp. They even invited me to visit their church on many occasions. I finally decided to faze them out of my life when one day, they came to my house unannounced and ended the visit with a prayer.

Have a great weekend!!!
