Speech Meet at Northside =)

I went to my first Speech meet yesterday! It was really fun, but unfortunately they didn't have any doorstops. That was dumb. I didn't place in either of my competitions, which was kind of lame, too, but whatever! It was still amazing.

Without challenge, Edison would never had invented the lightbulb,
so we all be walking around holding candles......... like nuns.

Mona and lavender boy were interesting... sort of. They were kind of annoying, too, but I'm glad I met them. Mona's jacket! Ha, ha, ha... that was pretty great.

Elephants and kangaroos? Indians just don't get it.

Technically, it's a tint.

Ha, ha, ha... chipmunk cheeks! That is such a great photo. ^

Congratulations to everyone who went! Carroll got sixth overall, so that's pretty sweet nibbletz, unlike stalkers, who are not sweet nibbletz.

Colombia City Kleptomania

Well, I had my first Varsity debate ever last Saturday. It was in Colombia City, which was a blessing. I got to sleep in almost two hours more than usual for debates. My public forum team, my brother and I, got ninth, which I'm really excited about. I didn't think that we'd even place in the top ten, so that was a real joy. I was tired and lacking spirit, though. I had no gusto at all while I was speaking, which probably didn't help us.

Watch out, she's a bit of a klepto.

Although I love debate, I can't say that's exactly how I like to spend the entire Saturday of my fall "break." Furthermore, this Saturday is another debate. The topic is whether or not America should adopt the French health care system, I think is a really boring and lame subject, especially compared to nuclear energy, our October resolution. Anyway, last Saturday, I was ready to go home after round two. Had it not been for coffee and walking around the upstairs before the competition started, I would've been dead tired. Our experience with the doorstop was priceless - definitely a sweet nibbletz moment.

Since 19__, we have erected __ nuclear facilities.

I heard a great story from one of our Congressional... people (COUGHhomosCOUGH). During a debate about whether or not naturalized citizens should be allowed to become president, a competitor said that because Jesus died for all of our sins, everyone had the right to become president. Obviously, he didn't win. Ha, ha... I think he might have been a little bit desperate.

Save the environment; mate with manatees.

I am still super-psyched for "Underworld." Ah!!! The demo comes out tomorrow on "Tomb Raider Chronicles," and I'm really pumped. It should be very amazing. =)

I have to get a Hannah Montana costume tomorrow, too. I'll be sad if I don't get one. =(

I went home early today, because I had a splitting migraine. I was only going to miss IED and Spanish. In IED, we're doing a project that I'm three days ahead on and in Spanish we're making Justo posters, so I wasn't exactly going to miss much at all.

Living in the Moment

Hm... my life is sweet nibbletz right now. I'm super-looking forward to tomorrow. It should be very awesome! Debate and Spell Bowl are amazing. I'm looking forward to (possibly) the last Spell Bowl meet of the season on Monday. It should be pretty intense, and I'm very psyched.

Team BPJ!!!

Well summer's dying, and that makes me sad. The good thing is, though, that Christmas is coming! Woot! And so is spring, which is my favorite season if you were curious. I was a little sad that I didn't get a lot of time to hang out in my woods this summer. I usually spend like half my summer there, and I wasn't there nearly that much this year. But that's OK, I guess, that just means I'll have to spend twice as much in the forest next year!

Sarah's warm, but she's not on my back.

On a positive note, however, the season change means American Eagle sales. I could use a new jacket, so I have prospects for this weekend or the next for some quality time at the mall.

We are in love like armadillos in a desert.

She's as hungry as a caterpillar in a rain forest!
