Rocky Mountain

Alright, I cant remember everything that happened so I wont be posting about everything. Here's what I will will blog about though, and in this order, HI (humorous interp), in between rounds, and my final debate round.

First I'd like to say that I made it to finals in HI, I didn't win a trophy, but I still made it to finals!!! My HI was called, "Bonnie and Clyde Agency For the Unemployed Underworld" By Bill Majeski. It was such a fun one to do, although not the funniest. The thing I did best with it was the voices. Everyone loved how I could change my voices in different ways. I don't know which voice they liked best, Bonnie or Clyde. At the end of one of my rounds one judge asked me what my real voice sounded like! I thought it was kind of funny. To close my HI part of the post I'd like to say if anyone that I know is reading this blog, ask me to do my HI for you sometime and I will, it's so fun to do.

In between rounds, when the debaters can have a break from debating...
We never stop debating, in between rounds, we find random topics to debate about. The most debating started when me and my partner had a bye.
First I'll explain what a bye is. A bye is when you and you're partner don't have to debate because your opponent didn't show up. Now to continue.
When we have a bye...
Me and my partner got very, very, very bored. So we started talking. What did we talk about? Who's last name is more awesome. We argued until some of our other fellow debaters came bye. Then one of the guys got a piece of paper and went around asking random people what they thought. My name won! :D Then we made some new topics, Batman or spider-man, ninja or samurai, coke or pepsi, and finally which color is more manly pink or purple? the winners were, batman, ninja, pepsi, and purple!!!!

During our last round the judge gave us an oral critique. Which was really good, because i learned something new. I learned that Contention 1: topicality is the most important one to defend. It is what most judges judge on. SO if you dont have topicality then you basically LOSE. Scary, huh?

That's all I have for now, come back for more, later.
