YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! OH MY GOSH I FEEL SO HAPPY!
got first place in drama! OH YEA! HI 5 RUBY!!!!!!
BUMP IT!
our ryde eisteddfod was on at 7, but since gemma had hers at....forgot....earlier than ours, we left the house at.....3 ish? and was there at....4ish?
gemmas section was awesome! all of it! ruby drew on my book and i tried to shush elbert up....to no success. gosh gemma was so good! not fair that she didnt get sth.
the dinner was awesome too! i loooove lemon chicken rice! dont know why. oh yea! and im definitely going shopping at top ryde city! soooo going! lol we were practising everywhere to be in sync with each other. ruby was talking about how funny it was if the other competitors werent there. haha i was like wishing so badly that they wouldnt come. theyre so PRO! and i nearly tripped while ruby was leaning over me. :P
ahahahaha at 6:35 (why did we get there so early again?), we went inside. so damn nervous. and we met ppl in the next section! ahaha.
i was sooo nervous (did i mention that?) . i could hear ruby repeating her lines again and again under her breath. and then the lady asked for competitor number....1. i could hear my heart beating so loudly. i bet i was sweating as well. but!.....they werent here. only one of the pair came.
and then it was our turn. the lady asked for number 2. ruby and i put our hands up, and then were called to the front. i could feel my feet swaying under me. and i nearly forgot where i was to stand. :O i croaked the poets name out (yea ruby. the strepsils beforehand didnt work) but rubys voice was loud enough to cover my voice in the first verse. im so glad that we didnt make ANY mistakes (wooooooo oh yea).
once we finished, we sat down again. my hands were shaking. even after i had performed. my head was spinning from the effort of not making any mistakes. and then.....competitor 3.....but they werent here either. :O i was so tempted to do the awkward turtle. but our adjudicator came up and we were handed our TROPHIES! OMGOGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGOOMG! the audience were laughing. and ruby and i were smiling! hahahahahhahaha.
Ruby! i officially pronounce you as psychic! CONGRATULATIONS!
SPEAKING OF CONGRATULATIONS! congratualtions to any lance corporals! WOOOOO! youre one step away from COPORAL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i could hear claps echoing in my mind. i saw a movement to my left and i quickly copied the movement. OH! i nearly forgot to bow! i willed my feet to move forward. not seeing anyone in the crowd. tripping on the carpet and landing neatly in my seat, i heard congratualtions and praises. all we could do was wait for the result.
"is competitor number three here?" the lady spoke.
the silence in the room was uncomfortable for a moment, then the atmosphere of the room suddenly was lighter, amused. i was tempted to put my hands together and wiggle my thumbs.
the next few minutes were blurred. i was so happy, and i could see my partner and her whole family were too. i was so proud to be her partner. all i remember was standing up shakily, hiding behind my partners back and making her stand in front of me, and then receiving my trophy. i wasnt expecting it to be so heavy. usually it would be cheap asian plastic.
and the last thing i remember was walking out with a huge smile, saying my good lucks to my friends, and walking out, with a huge smile on my face.
