Sorry for the debate spam guys, I just haven’t been on in a while. I went to a two day tournament this weekend.

FRIDAY:

Was pretty great. I didn’t memorize my oratory so I read it (I’m the worst kind of person) but I did amazing! I love my oratory so much it’s great! It’s on women in advertising ;) and people love my intro almost as much as I do. I kinda butchered the Gettysburg Address, which I did for OD. No worries, no one noticed ha ha. The judge for my last round was an ex-orator and returned missionary. Sounds like completely not my type right? I was oddly attracted to the fact that he looked like MC Lars when he was bigger ha ha. He was nice and we talked about speaking Spanish and stuff. At the end the best thing in the world happened, I was on a debate high. If there is one thing that keeps me in debate, it’s the high I get after all my rounds are over and I have done much better than I expected. I hadn’t gotten a full-force debate high yet this year, so it was really awesome.

SATURDAY:

Right when we I walk in, in my fly 70s getup, McNeely calls me over. We say hi, she says I look like a gypsy it’s all hunky dory. (Hopefully Leak didn’t get jealous ha ha) She ended up being the judge in my first round. I did awesome in that round. Second round I did my oratory, met a dude named Griffin and had a hot judge. It was sub-par. I got to my third round about thirty minutes early ha ha and this boy started talking to me. He was cute in a debate kind of way (nice way to put it) he did have a smile that reached his eyes, I love that. He told me about his oratory and how it was on beards. I wanted to be like “take me now”. We talked about his thrift store pinstripe pants and he gave me Swedish Fish. After that he went to his round and right when he left Griffin started talking to me. That round of OD had some really great people. After that there was food and it was nummy! Then I hung out with Ezekiel for a bit. After that we got Marko and Dalton too. Once finals started it was Mark and I against the world. We saw the cute kid give his oratory and just adventured for a bit. When we got back to the stairs we had claimed, this group of weird kids came over and mistletoed us. I probably shouldn’t have, but I kissed him and let them take a picture. And when the kid with the camera came back again I kissed Juno, probably shouldn’t have done that either. Luckily half the team had already left. I would have left too, but as captain I feel I should set a better example and support my team. Kissing my teammates might have been support, but it definitely did not set a good example. I’m praying it doesn’t come back to bite me. Also, I hope Leak and Peer don’t find out. I really enjoy having their respect.
