after the rain

We didn't win, but that's about all I have to say about it : ) life goes on, y'know?
Thanks everyone for the encouragement, and to the team and the rest of Debate, this is just the beginning. We're gonna have a long and fulfilling road ahead of us, and that path's a reality run to victory. This ain't the last time you're gonna be seeing us around :D
Dinner at Big O, Wheelock. We're gna start a wiggly worms band. : ) Xuwen = chief wriggler :D Claire = creative wriggle action creater (R rated music videos only)
Just the gentle bumps of tyres on uneven tar, a muted background buzz of inecessant chatter, the soft lull of Chris Martin's voice in my left ear, city lights flashing past and mysteriously dark highways slipping by. Sometimes that, simple silence and a friend is company enough.
And speaking of company, it doesn't have to mean literally that someone has to be beside you to give you that reassuring, safe, pleasant feeling. Xuwen will always be in our hearts, and when it's time to say goodbye, we'll miss your company, and your company will never go away. Memory. We love you.
Well, so what's new? More things to ponder, a rest to take, excitement to build (heheh juniors its your turn! U14s coming up!). The opportunity sounds great, but it'll probably create more problems for me, what with the circuit thriving on gossip = false allegations and all. On the other hand, I'll get to work with other people who have different styles of working on cases, and just like AC debate camp it'll probably be a lot of fun, totally unofficial, and I'll improve as well : )
Ah well. An option to take will be a choice I may make.
See you guys, on the other side of the brilliant blue

As you all probably know me, I have T-O.C.D. (Temporary Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) but this one's not TEMPORARY, man. I am NUTS about friends :D
And Ross Geller.
Okay Rachel and Ross are insanely cute together!
Check out Pheebs lobster theory.
I'm Pheebs by the way, according to the facebook quiz thingy.
It says: Your weirdness attracts people.
How cool is that!
Ooh and Jolyne was having situational writing in English class today and one of her characters was named "Chandler Bing"! Coincidence? I think not! (She later got questioned publicly in class about the source of the weird composition character names. Maybe Ms Teacher wasn't used to the bing-thing.)
Okay, back to OCD lobster time.
Open quote:
ROSS: Rachel and I should be together and, and we should get some kind of me, message service.
PHOEBE: Hang in there, it's gonna happen.
ROSS: Wha, OK, now how do you know that?
PHOEBE: Because she's your lobster.
CHANDLER: Oh, she's goin' somewhere.
PHOEBE: C'mon you guys. It's a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You know what, you can actually see old lobster couples walkin' around their tank, ya know, holding claws like. . .
___________
ROSS: Alright, I'm gonna do something. [walks up in the middle of their conversation] Excuse me, are you Rachel?
RACH: What?
ROSS: I'm Ross Geller. Wha, I'm, God in your ad you said you were pretty but wow.
RACH: What are you, what are you doin'?
ROSS: Oh, oh my God, is this the wrong day? I don't believe it, uh, well, hey, I guess if it works out we'll, we'll have something to tell the grandkids.
MAN: Sure will. I've uh, gotta go. Take care.
ROSS: OK, see ya later, nice meeting you. [man leaves] You're welcome.
RACH: What?
ROSS: I was saving you.
RACH: Saving, saving, saving me from the pleasant conversation with the interesting man, saving me?
ROSS: Oh, see from where I was sitting I uh. . .
RACH: OK, Ross, listen to me, I am not yours to save.
ROSS: But, you are.
RACH: What?
ROSS: Uh, uh, well you're, umm, you're my lobster.
RACH: OK, you know what, are, are you being like, the blind date guy again?
ROSS: No no, you're uh, you're my lobster. See um, lobster, uhh, in the tank when, when they're old, uhh, they get with, uhh, they walk around holding the claws. In the tank, ya know, with, with the holding and. . . Uhh, Phoebs you wanna help me out with the, the whole lobster thing?
PHOEBE: Do the claws again.
ROSS: Rach. OK, forget, forget the lobsters, OK. We're, let's talk, what about us?
RACH: Ross, there is no us, OK.
ROSS: No, but. . .
RACH: No, listen to me. I fell for you and I get . You than fall for me and I again, somehow, get clobbered. I'm tired of being clobbered, ya know, it's, it's just not worth it.
ROSS: Well, but, but. . .
RACH: NO but Ross. We are never gonna happen, OK. Accept that.
ROSS: E-except, except that what?
RACH: No, no, ACC- ept that.
ROSS: Oh.

JOEY: [pulls out a VCR tape] Hey Monica, what's on this video tape?
MONICA: Hey, you got me, put it in.
ROSS: [Rachel enters] Oh.
RACHEL: Hi.
ROSS: Hi.
MRS. GELLER: Over here Jack. OK. I see, Rachel's coming up the path. Oh doesn't she look pretty. Jack, get this. [Rachel enters with a huge nose]
RACHEL: Oh my God.
JOEY: What is with your nose?
RACHEL: They had to reduce it because of, of my deviated septum.
CHANDLER: OK, I was wrong, that's what they used to cover Connecticut.
MONICA: You know what this is, this is us getting ready for the prom.
RACHEL: Oh.
ROSS: You know what, you guys, we don't have to watch this.
ALL: Oh yeah we do. C'mon.
MRS. GELLER: Get a shot of Monica. Where's Monica.
MONICA: Over here dad. [he pans over and we see a torso taking up the whole screen]
MR GELLER: Wait, how do you zoom out? [zooms out and we see an extremely overweight Monica eating a big sandwich] There she is.
JOEY: Some girl ate Monica.
MONICA: Shut up, the camera adds ten pounds.
CHANDLER: Ahh, so how many cameras are actually on you?
MONICA: Oh, you look so great.
RACHEL: Ahh, so do you, beautiful. [they hug]
MONICA: Oops.
RACHEL: What?
MONICA: Shoot, I think I got mayonnaise on you.
RACHEL: Oh, that's OK, it's just the shoulder, it's not my dress.
MR. GELLER: Everybody smile.
MONICA: Oh, dad, turn it off.
MR. GELLER: It is off.
MONICA: Dad, it is not. What's with the red light?
MR. GELLER: It's the off light. Right Ross? [pans over to see Ross with an afro and moustache]
JOEY: Looking' good Mr. Kotex.
ROSS: You look pretty tonight.
RACHEL: Oh, thanks. So, uh, what are you gonna do this summer?
ROSS: Oh, you know, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna hang out, work on my music.
RACHEL: [the shoulders of her dress keep falling off her shoulders] Is my hook unhooked? These things keep falling down, I can't. . .
ROSS: Uh, hold, let me see, I don't know. So what're you gonna do. . . [doorbell rings]
RACHEL: Oh, the guys are here.
ROSS: ...this summer?
CHANDLER: Work on your music?
[Ross is sitting on the stairs with a laptop keyboard playing 'Axle-F']
RACHEL: Oh my God, look there's Roy Goblin.
MONICA: Ya know, Roy saw Star Wars 317 times. His name was in the paper.
RACHEL: Where's Chip, why isn't he here yet?
ROY: He'll be here OK, take a chill pill. [Chip pins Monica's corsage on, Monica then turns and whispers to Rachel]
MONICA: I just told Rachel that Roy touched my boob.
RACHEL: I can't go to my own prom without a date, I can't, it's too late.
MONICA: If you're not going then I don't want to go either.
ROY: Oh, I'm gonna kick Chip's ass.
MRS. GELLER: [to Ross on the stairs] I have a wonderful idea. You should take Rachel to the prom.
ROSS: Doubtful.
MRS. GELLER: Jack, give me that. Talk to your son.
MR. GELLER: Your mother's right. Take her, you can wear my tux.
ROSS: Dad, she won't want to go with me.
MR. GELLER: Of course she would, you're a college man.
ROSS: I don't know.
MR. GELLER: Well, c'mon. Don't ya want to find out?
RACHEL: I can't believe I don't get to go to my own prom, this is so harsh.
ROSS: OK. Hold my board.
MR. GELLER: Atta boy. [Ross scrambles upstairs to change]
ROSS: OK, you guys, ya know, I think we've seen enough, let's turn it off.
ALL: No, no, no.
ROSS: OK, fine, well I'm not gonna watch, alright.
MR. GELLER: C'mon kid, let's go.
MRS. GELLER: Ahh, are you handsome.
MR. GELLER: Let's show 'em.
ROSS: Uh, just a sec dad. [to himself] OK, be cool, just be cool. [walks down the stairs and grabs the flowers out of the vase on the endurable] OK dad.
MR. GELLER: [going downstairs] Rachel, ready or not, here comes your knight in shining. . . oh no.
[Chip has shown up and the four are leaving]
RACHEL, MONICA, ROY, and CHIP: Bye.
MRS. GELLER: Oh, dear. Jack, how do I turn this off?
MR. GELLER: Press the button.
MRS. GELLER: Which one? Which button, Jack.
MR. GELLER: The button, the button.
MONICA: I can't believe you did that.
ROSS: Yeah, well.
[Rachel, seeing what he did for her, gets up, walks across the room, and kisses Ross.]
PHOEBE: See, he's her lobster.

A Quarter of Love.

To God, Claire, Xuwen, the team and everyone who supported so selflessly, this was for you.

All the hard work, which encapsulates 2 AM restructuring of substantives, insertion of examples against dire longings of sweet sweet sleep, last minute hurried templating and heart-rendering shearing of speeches, constant agonizing and tears shed over stubbornly unyielding rebuttals, and millionbillionwillion other exhausting experiences. Those are not only the most mentally and emotionally exhausting times, but also the most exhilarating. Perhaps non-debaters will never know the feeling. Of a team so close in spirit and in strength yet bickering 24/7 over phrasing and links, of fustrations that run so deep only teammates and coach's logic, reasoning and encouragement can save you.

Tonight was Class A, classic.

By God's grace, we made it through.

Deal, or no deal?

Whatever the case, contracts have been made. And require keeping to.

So.

To all you innocent people out there, prepare to get the shock of your lives.

Ready to deal?




The Bangs Deal.

"In God we have faith, in Xuwen we have conviction, and in Unity we have victory"


P.S. The tiniest of things that make me happy and fulfilled - we have truly commandeered the respect of other reputable teams. Even if I did help a little, it's heartening to know that I lent a hand in constructing one of the best...aw.

P.S.S. It's also the last day of school (I'll miss Three Hope like crazy), end of Hwach Immersion/ Invasion week, demise of two tests and Friday the Thirteenth. I guess traditions don't hold out against true justification.


Let's get 'em hard.
