HELLICIOUS!! (ps thats NOT a positive term)

So I have a confession...I am on the speech and debate team at my school. However our team sticks out like a sore thumb at our INCREDIBLY lame speech meets. The people on our team are normal kids. For those of you who have not been to one...I'm not even sure its explainable. It is like a head-case function! No joke intended. the people are beyond bizarre. One example to help portray the nightmare I went through today: my friend was competing against this strange guy in a cape...or so she thought. She decided to be nice and told him she liked his "cape". His expression turned to death and he whipped around and glaring at her he SCREAMED (ya no joke peeps, screamed!) "Its not a f-ing cape, do I look like superman...NO!!! This is a cloak, I am wearing a CLOAK!" He breathed heavily for a few moments glaring into her eyes and then turned around. HELLO what the hell is wrong with you...who are you!?!? Simply put this day was intense. I could barely keep myself on the edge of a mental breakdown. I was surrounded by the future tree-hugging, straight jacket wearing, pyschos of America. Ok, reading over that it does sound a bit harsh, but after the day i just endured...i can't make it any nicer. I def dont fit the speech profile. To the meet today I wore my Guess Boho skirt, Michael Antonio wedges, Abercrombie polo, layered chunky necklace, and wooden and gold bangle. AND let me say, for me, that was dressing down, not so much formally but fashionably. However the cool kids around me were decked in fairy costumes, baggy 80's sweaters, combat boots, oversized blazers, and SO much more. I performed in Drama Interpt, which is when I have a script I use to act out a scene. My character in my piece starts out ditzy and ends up maturing after a tragic incident. When I was finshed, some girl I competed with walked by me and said "Wow, your outfit sure fits nicely with your character!" I turned around and gawked! She HAD to be kidding! was she really commenting on what I was wearing. This girl was larger than the size she was wearing. Her oddly fitted black pants poofed out at the hips giving her an even more unflattering look. Her shirt was crazy and tight and had such a crazy print, it make me dizzy with disgust. I just stared at her. I could feel her becoming uncomfortable and right as her eyes started to shift I looked straight at her and said "Thank-you...I jump at the opportunity to dress like a ditz! thank-you SO much for noticing" I turned and started walking away and after about two steps i turned and said "god your good!" she looked stunned. I felt my job was complete. I always say that you should always respond to a negative comment positively. I guess a little sarcasm is acceptable at times too! All in all I was a finalist (and no crazy print girl wasnt) and got home in time to watch the end of our ah-mazing basketball team cream their opponents! and of course because we won we HAD to have a victory party! So I guess the day wasn't that bad, but as soon as we got off the bus I traded my sweats and uggs (i changed for the bus to be comfy, but I always end up feeling gross)for a boatneck brown sweater, distressed jeans and a C&C california tank with a pink burberry scarf and gold hoops. Feeling good in an outfit relieved=s my stress and believe me I NEEDED a cute outfit to lift my spirits! well I off to bed...gotta wake early...SKI DAY!!! whats up whats up!~ ha ha MUCH LOVE PEACE
