I was about to write a post about how lately I'm without much to say. Few opinions I'm burning to share, few topics I want to read about further and then actively pick an argument.

Then I realized that I was just nominated and accepted to the executive committee of the Laurier Toastmasters.

I'm going to have to find something to say - and

What's a toastmaster?

[thesaurusrex]

Toastmasters is an organization started in 1927 by (funny enough) the YMCA. There's generally one at every university. It's primarily an oral speaking club, usually dominated by business students, but this one is a healthy mix of business, political science, women's studies and a couple of outspoken English students. No hippies allowed.

We're a network of students and professors, all of whom are sponsored by (currently) Telus and Shell. We have guest speakers and what not and are headed by an executive committee who make all the decisions and get to act fairly pompously. (Smug, smug.)

You are also in a position of power - greater power than mine, my friend. We can be smug together.

My paper could kick your toast's ass anyday. I want to send you the first issue so you can see the awesomeness of my cartooning in the editorial section. Hot.

Just like the paper's editor.

I'll butter your toast any day, if you know what I'm sayin'....
