  Yesterday was truly a day to remember. First: stalker updates. The toothless stalker was there. Actually, nothing shady happened though w/ her. Now Orange Freak was there too. Some shady things happened w/ him. So Mark and I are talking to this girl about her speech, which is pretty good I might add, and all of a sudden, Orange freak comes up to us!
Mark is now terrified, b/c he tries to adjust Marks tie. Now you just know that things have gotten out of hand. Just a little bit about the tournament itself. It was long, k, long. All of the Duo and Prose people had the first round off. So it was kind of nice. Mark and I decided that we were going to need more energy than ever to pull off a trip to the state championship.
After two of our best rounds, that we felt were, our truly best round came. It was the third round. So theres this kid sitting next to me, a freak I might add. He has this notebook w/ him, in which apparently he has criticism about each speech. It looked something like this: The Stinky Cheese Man and Fairly Other Stupid Tales : As usual. Our speech [meaning theirs] Infidelities : Pointless For Whom the Southern Bell Tolls : [I cant remember what it said for this one. ] No-Fault Driving School : Annoying The Valiant : [Didnt have anything written down. ] Ya know? I think thats just bad, considering how bad his speech is. Every speech on there is great except for his and The Stinky Cheese Man and And then to go and call ours annoying.
Thats just low. We worked so hard this year to get that skit to work and be good. Well, anyways, now that I got that out of the way, our final rankings, all out of 6, are 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, and 2. So we got better as the day moved on. Unfortunately, we did not qualify for states. We have one more chance, on February 15, to qualify. But I doubt its going to happen. OK, so we left early b/c almost everyone on the whole team had something to do w/ the play. So me, Mark, and another kid went w/ Matt K. Im going to start by saying that that was one of the funniest and scariest rides in my life. I will never forget it. So we leave, and were following Will and Dave, Dave leading. So we go to this sub place in Parma for about 15 minutes.
We then leave again. So were following them, and Matt decides to pass them up b/c they are going slow. So we get to a light, I think on Ridge Road. Matt says, Where are Dave and Will? We explain that they turned a while ago. So he screams this word that can be heard throughout the car! So he decides to turn around at this McDonalds. He blocks the entrance to turn around, cars are beeping at him and everything is going bad. So we get on the freeway, going about 80 MPH, and this cop car passes us right up.
So randomly, I say, As long as the Stinky Cheese Man people arent district champs, Ill be happy. So Matt is mad b/c I distracted him and we missed the exit. We got off the freeway finally and got back to school. What a day. I stayed to watch closing night of the play and went home. I will never forget that car ride. I know I forgot to say a couple of things, but they probably werent important. Well, until the next update, so long.
