  the rundown on bishop: basically, sucked like a mother. we were all a little condescending to the locals, but that was deserved. they were rather snooty to us as well. might i quote them....[come up to us] "hey, do y'all speak asian? " and then the tournament director goes "well you ARE bellaire" with one of those looks. ok.... hotels: some smelled better and were less infested than others.
alli gotta say is, with crickets, mosquitoes, bad AC, cigarette smoke, no soap, and brown water, that the wonderful invention of internet kept us all alive. man....AOL IS SLOW!!! i know my normal internet is slow too but that was just ridiculous....seriously. the rides: me and eleanor and ingrid and danila got to ride with rach half of the way there...that was kewl cept he was about to kill us all byy cutting cardds while driving. also, the stress level was through the roof since he made us cut updates along with him. oh well.
i played music, and hte odd thing is every song i played that WAS the beatles, he said it a) sucked and b) was our crazy "ghetto music". everything that was awesome and WASNT the beatles, he said "man...i dig the beatles. right on! " crazy stuff on the way back.....it was crazy. eleanor opted out, so it was me and ingrid and henry and daniel. i'm sure everyone got there way earlier, so we were going nutsw cuz the mosquitoes came out by the swarms later in the evening, and then we all sort of fell alseep and rach was about to to so we stopped at some gas station while he was outside smoking and talking and stomping around.
the two towers had just finished though...... omg but before i fell asleep and when the movie ahd just started, it was AWESOME cuz apparemntly rach is this huge lotr nut. he started talking about it with me, and apparently he's read the silmarillion and were were talking about stuff...ok so the bhs debate squad is now "the dunedain". :-D because are more pure than all those other crazy folks in middle earth. right...so the actual tourney. the competition was horrible. they were all of noice quality.
not eveno f houston novice quality, probably of like, well,....BISHIO novice quality. sadly though, the judging was even worse than the competition, so many of us got screwed over, like my lovely twin here. so me and eleanor broke 1st seed, then julia and kim broke 3rd, and something soemthing soemthing.... anyway, so here's how it goes down: we all get shafted in quarters one way or another (illegit judging for me and eleanor - he voted on ballasting of all things, rach's horrible 1nc strat for julia and kim, and supposedly honest debate for elaine and rosa - i dunno, they are too kewl and modest). rach and i both wanna stab mr m verdeber. i couldn't find him for hte rest of hte night, despite my wonderful purple equalizers wanting to. henry and daniel got equally as shafted against harlingen south in finals.
ugh......they are NUUTS.... oh well. what a wasted weekend. if we had all qualed, it would have been worth it. the no food, no sleep, many insect bites, all that......oh well. at least henry and daniel qualed. and i am going to die finishing all my hw tonite.
yue said she stayed up till 4 last nite. GREAT. steven says he's doing the chart tho, so i guess it's alright. *whew* great guy, that steven forrester is. had a fight with josh. so here's how it is....i was talking to eleanor late at night about it, and all she said was "are you sure ur happy" and i sort of carried it on fromt here.
he never calls. he tells me to call him. i decide to stop calling to see if he calls. he doesn't. i barely see him at school, and when i do it's almost pointless. he says that if all i want is the "attention" then i've got serious issues.
he says, if that's really it he can understand why i cheated on him. i'm thinking.....why should i be doing this if i'm not getting the attention i need? it's a relationship.....i think it should be a given. no mattter how selfish it sounds, it's work that way too. :-/
