This weekend was insane. Insane!!! Warning: this'll be long...
~Friday, we left RCC at six in the morning...apparently the same time I called Zach...sorry...and made our way to Freeport, Illinois for a speech tournament. On the way there, dead baby jokes were told...one of them made Julie cry. We felt bad, but because the rest of us are insensitive jerks...we prolly felt a little less bad than we should have... She recovered and I gave her a penny to throw at someone. She felt better after that.
We get to the school around 9 or so...I didn't have a round until 4pm. I watched a Parli round, saw Dan's STE twice...Mike's once...and mingled with guys from other schools... Can boys smell another guy on a girl or what? I'm just sitting around, minding my business, when a guy from ICC sits down to talk with me...he even went to watch one of my rounds...what the crap?? The rest of the tourney, he proceeded to smile, wave, and say hi. I never even asked the kid his name- in fact I only talked to him when he asked something. Boys are weird and dumb. Then, there were the Moraine Valley boys...I thought they were cute from past competitions (even though Tony always used to tell me they weren't...), so when they started talking to me, I was thinking, "Why now???". Their names are Brian and Adam and are really nice. I didn't feel guilty about talking with them, but I was thinking, "This would be much more fun if Zach were here..."
My prose bombed, but it's because I didn't practice it at all. Ok, so it didn't bomb horribly, but didn't do as well as it has. Mike's prose rocked, and he got third in finals. That's the only good thing I will say about Mr. Hagan for now...but we'll get to that later...jerk... =)
Most of us went to sleep before midnight...that NEVER happens.
~Saturday at the tourney was great. Chris and I rocked the house down with our duo. We placed 1st, 2nd, and 4th...not quite good enough to make it to finals, but Sam Straka told us that we were 7th place...one away from making it to the final round. We did so much better than I thought we would have. If we sharpen things up, hopefully we'll place at the next competition...which is at ICC on the 15th...
Another great thing that happened, was this balloon was stuck on the ceiling...like, 40 feet up, and Mike really wanted it. So, being the nice people we are, Sam Davis and I worked for an hour to construct this tube of paper and tape just to get it down...and we did. Booyah! The monsterous balloon-catching device is going to make it's home in the speech room...I'd also say the balloon would as well, but Mike shelfed it...jerk...
So, the ride back home was...interesting. Mike was sleeping with the top of his head facing me and it looked like it wanted to have chap stik smeared all over it- in fact, it asked me- it gave me the girl's international sign for chap stik. What else was I to do?? Sam had sprayed me with boy cologne earlier, so I got the idea to spray Mike with my girly spray stuff- on his head. Mike then got shaving cream and held it in his hand for a good half hour- I knew he had it, I threw things at him to catch, but he couldn't because he had a hand full of shaving cream. I just didn't know when he was gonna attack...and attack he did. I smelled like a boy...buuut- the shaving cream he got on my hands, I put in his ear. How do you like that, Mikey? hmmm? His whole goal of the evening was to get me to drop the f-bomb. I was doing so well until Aaron called my phone and wanted to talk to Mike. Then the inevitable happened...Aaron told Mike to shelf my phone...and he did...while doing the horribly disgusting "DONE" thing... Mike then passed the phone around to Sam, Chris, and Dan, and THEY all proceeded to shelf it (if you don't know what shelfing is...ask a boy...). We were pulling into the school's parking lot at this point, and I dropped some bombs...three in fact. "Eff you!" Mike is an "Effer!!", and "Give me the effing phone!!!" Mike won that round...ass...
Then, me being covered in shaving cream, went to meet Aaron at S&S. He too shelfed my phone. ~I hate them all~ Mike joined us after going home to change (because he's a pansy and couldn't handle a little shaving cream), and I most definitely let him have it. Amy and Terri were also there to cheer me on. Ha! His food...his drinks...I had no mercy. The night ended with cheese in his ear. I'm semi-fearing the future wrath of Mike Hagan, but for now... SIT DOWN.
