Woot
Well,these past few days have been quite interesting.It all starts on Monday night;when Paul,Danny, and I went to Goodwill.Paul was driving,and after we had been there a while ,he couldn't find us.So,he thought we had walked to Arby's or something and he leaves me and Danny there.That means that Danny and I had to walk a couple miles back to college in a light mist.It was actually rather fun once we got walking,so I'm not complaining.Yet,that was only Monday night.
Yesterday I had my last speech meet of the semester.That was pretty fun,last performance of my duo because my duo partner isn't going to be on the team again next semester.We were Christopher Durang's "The Funeral Parlor",and during the intro in first round when I explain that the piece is about a grieving wife at her husbands funeral and I added that he died of syphilis.That caught my partner totally off guard and she just choked on her next part of the intro,she said it but she was trying so hard not to laugh.It was really funny to me.Haha,then in my first round of poetry,I did not have my intro written down anywhere,but I remembered it all in time...except for one thing.I completely forgot the poet's name!I knew that he was French,so I named him Jacques Defleur.Nobody was any the wiser for it...except for myself and anyone I told afterwards.Yet,that is not the end of my tale.I decided to go see After-dinner speaking,because I had heard that it was supposed to be humorous.So,I went and watched,and was much entertained.Anyways,when I got out I went and sat down at my teams table out in the cafeteria and a couple of the girls who had performed in the ADS final round were right at the next table;so,I struck up a conversation with them.Eventually the conversation them turned into a conversation between me and one of the girls.So,I sat talking to this girl for,oh,around an hour waiting for the awards ceremony to eventually start.After the awards ceremony we said sort of awkward goodbyes,and" see you next semester",but one of her friends just runs up to me and gives me the girl who I had been talking to's number, right in front of her.She looked like her friend made her very uncomfortable,and that made me uncomfortable.So,the speech meet ended on a rather awkward note.
In other news,I am currently winning an auction on E-bay for a copy of "The Wanting Seed" by Anthony Burgess.It's so exciting!I just might win my first internet auction!
