So a Congress kid said once “He’s an OO kid. OO kids don’t care.” And I was about to argue until I realized we have four OO kids on out team and

One of them drank an actual gallon of unsweetened ice tea when the team went to dinner together (we did the math of how many ounces he had drunk)

Another OO kid was his ride home after dinner and he was ready to go and tired of being out but the first kid was effing shaking and this conversation transpired between him and an HI girl "What if he pees in your car? What if he pukes in your car?" "...oh..." "What if he dies in your car?" "Eh"

The entire time through dinner I kept throwing fries at the other OO kid’s face because he stole a fry from someone earlier, and I also apparently when I thought I was talking normally I was screaming but I refuse to stop when someone tells me to shut up

The fourth OO kid is a team captain and doesn’t take crap from anyone. She also worked on an entire essay and ignored the team screaming in between rounds and before awards

So. I realized I really couldn’t argue.

I competed with my high school's speech team, and to this day I think the best piece of commentary I got from a judge was when I did Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s 2BR02B ("The zero in the telephone number he pronounced 'naught'"). She had written "Upon hearing your title, I was bracing myself for an iconic, but disturbing, piece that I can hear again and again. Instead, I got a much more disturbing piece that I would rather not experience again. Ever. Wow."

I was in the marching band, scholastic bowl, and forensics team in high school, the latter being the most fun.

It's not forensics like cutting people up that was band. It was a spoken word competition. I did Impromptu and walked away with first place once over the year.
