The speech contest

At last, another acting opportunity. Yay me!

Miranda, the speech contest is a state-wide acting competition. Actors from every middle school come and perform a monologue, improv, or dialogue piece in front of a few judges. There are ribbons and medals for best in the category. It's really fun...

Cedric, the guy who played Ugly, won one. He deserved it, but at barnes and noble he forgot some, and started to improvise, and....That made me think he'd fail at playing Ugly.

He did. Just not as much as everyone thought.

Oh yeah, and post your adresses so I can invite you all to my bat mitzvah!
Ah, I know, not safe, but I swear you all are the only people who read my blogs.

Anyhoo, Alex(Miranda, he played the duckling with the ipod-the only guy duckling) and I picked out an ahhh-mazing dialogue for three about people who are performing in a speech contest.
Yes, three, Me, McAndrew, and Alex.
Andy can act, but he never chooses too, so he's not at his full potential. But he CAN act.

This dialogue is by Ken Bradbury, who writes these great, funny pieces specifically for speech contest. Most of the ones we did this year were ones he wrote.

Yes, this year. We picked out the dialogue for next year, because the contest is really close to the start of school, and we know from this year that we need more time than that. Mine would have been WAAAAY better if I could have practiced more.

Eh. That's all. I'm tired.

COMMENT, DAMNIT! IT'S MOTIVATION TO WRITE MORE POSTS! GRRR!
(bye.)
