I was working on my sis-in-laws bag while watching wait for it Camp Rock 2. Yea, laugh it up. Christine’s old roommate wrote this letter which I find particularly hilarious and I hope that the lovely ladies of 210 won't be upset at my sharing this:

Dear Disney Channel,
I just finished watching the recently released Disney Channel original movie entitled, "Starstruck". Let me first say that Sterling Knight left me completely starstruck after his most amazing acting. But that's not my purpose in writing you at this time. Let me tell you about how you are ruining my life.
As you know, the society we live in is getting continuously more and more corrupted. Music, movies, and television shows are becoming increasingly crude, violent, vulger, and immoral. Like many other good folks in this world, the Disney Channel has become my number one source of entertainment because I know I can always count on it to satisfy my entertainment needs as well as keeping things clean.
But you see, I am almost twenty years old. Yes, it is true. And the Disney Channel remains my favorite station. I am a devoted viewer. The thing is, I look to these forms of entertainment as guides for my life so that I can know how to handle the cool kids that want to sing, princesses my dad brings home that I have to help blend into society, and most importantly, I look to them for guidance in my relationships.
It seems that lately you have been excluding kissing from your movies. I want to know WHY!? I don't think you understand the impact this is having on me. If I don't see kissing in these movies, I will not know what to do when the time arises for me to kiss a charming young suitor I fancy. This lack of direction is crippling me for life. Do you realize how many lives you are ruining by not showing the young children (and some older ones too....) how to handle these situations? It is a crime against humanity, and I am calling you to repentance.
So if you could please, add some basic and simple, yet sweet kissing to your movies from now on so that this rising generation will know how to handle the world we live in.

With much love, Amy Doesn't Know How To Kiss or Have Relationships (names have been changed to protect the innocent)

So I've been thinking, and here's what I have learned from CAMP ROCK 2:

1. Calling the cute guy an extremely ridiculous name in regards to his mood is a good way to capture his attention.

2. If I break into song and dance at camp, everyone will suddenly know the song and break into my super cool coordinated moves.

3. It’s totally okay for that super cute guy to perch himself in a secluded spot and watch the girl he likes from afar with binoculars, while she plays her piano, in the middle of a forest. (?)

4. People don’t know how to hug.

5. As a girl, we’re supposed to be very forward and share all of our silly personality quirks and then demand the guy we find super cute to recipricate.

6. Singing a love song to the one you like after a fight should be done really far away from eachother, at the porch of their separate cabins and end with the guy turning dramatically away.

7. When that Disney Channel movie kiss finally DOES happen, the girl has to initiate it.

8. If you’re a rock star, it means that the fan is blowing through your rock star hair, and you should wear tight pants and have a tamborine.

9. When you can’t get those words out, putting them into song form is the way to any girls heart. (possibly true, but what serenading a girl just seems weird. What’s she supposed to do while she sits there?)

10. It’s okay to lose the competition, because in the end all the suckers that won were total losers and they want to go to your camp next year

Night kids.

OK, so confession - I told on you to Becky, and aside from being a little mortified from being blogged about, she thinks you're way cool and approves of the life lessons that you gleaned from the world of Camp Rock.

PS - I must be a rockstar, 'cause I TOTALLY pull off #8
