Weekend excellent! I finally got to compete after being ineligible and I rocked it. I left on Friday in a bad mood because a very, very obnoxious girl was being incredibly rude during my DI. Apparantly, she had had done the piece before. The reason I know this is because she was mouthing the words to my piece the ENTIRE time I was up there. As if that wasn't bad enough, she and her friends were giggling at her doing this, making exaggerated faces at things that I did differently, and discussing how I performed the piece. I honestly felt like just stopping in the middle of my piece, like, "Sweet Jesus, that is so rude. Would you just stop?!" I didn't make it past prelims in DI. I know I offended the judge, lol.
I had this same girl again in poetry finals. She did her piece and when she sat down, someone said. "Good job" and this girl turned around and gave the most egotistical, "I know!"... I ended up getting first place for poetry. Someone once told me that the best revenge is living well. My other big acheivement was prose, which even Jonathan(senor critical) gave me a lot of praise for.
I just had so much fun competing, performing, seeing everyone again (Bel Air makes me happy, I<3U)winning (Yours tuly won 1st place in:Poety, Prose, and my awesome story that my baby helped me write).
After the competition, I called him to tell him the good news. And then I got the star treatment for the night. I stayed somewhat dressed up. When Brandon came to pick me up, he told me that he was parked outside my house. When I stepped out of my door to start walking twards his car, he jumped out from the side of me, picked me up, swung me around, gave me kisses, and told me how incredibly proud he was of me and how proud he was to be my boyfriend. He took me out to a spectacular dinner at Carino's which was followed by a party at Dermics. It was just such a great night. I was showered with love.
