Who are you?

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Hahaha. The Who. Hahaha. CSI.

So... Who are you?

I'm Sara Ailshire. I go to BCHS.

[WootWoot2007]

[Man with No Nation]

Name is Ali Othman from Boone County. My fave event is Congress and dontcha forget it! I also haven't met the artist formally (I know it's formerly, but I've never met him before, therefore formerly would be WRONG!) known as Jimmy Houlihan (sp?).

[WootWoot2007]

Hey, yeah you spelled it right...we really need to find some way to meet eachother at state. CUZ i want to know people!

[Lord Chancellor]

Um... I'm usually more reserved, but I'll introduce myself anyway:

Brice Acree, LaRue County, Extemp

That was easy enough.

[dukmeister]

Perhaps this can be my formal introduction to the forums as well, hm?

Brian Huot, Boone County.

I don't post much in here because I haven't got a whole lot to say that's relevant. So yes, I'm definately an off-topic abuser.

I live in Texas, so I don't belong in here with the KY kids.

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Oh my...

We are having an FOL get together at state... I probably won't be competing so I'll just carry around a sign that says FOL.

And I've been here for a while guys... I'm not that new!

Don't worry Texas boy, we love you.

[jman255]

[Interper05]

I'm Ryan Brown and am a senior from Rowan County. My events this year (at least the ones I'm taking to KESDA) are: Oratory, Solo, Duo Interp, Improv Pairs, Poetry, and Group Interp.

[ria]

that would be cool. an fol get-together at state. it'd be nice to have some faces to put with these names i see on here all the time.

haha, jimmy, isn't it just great to be known by people that you don't know?

hey, ryan, i went to honors day at western today. i looked for you, but you weren't there. i was sad.

[Interper05]

What is honors day?

[oOBroadcasterOo]

Oh my...

Don't worry Texas boy, we love you.

Ohhh! I want to get in on this! I'm from Murray- Katie DeCillo...duo interp and broadcasting. How did everyone's regional tournaments go?

[meggie33]

Hey, I'm Megan Spalding, Bethlehem, but everyone calls me meggie. I do H.I., D.I., and Prose, but the sad thing is, I've done everything except Radio, Extemp, and Impromptu. . . I guess I'm just an all around type of person :D

Our Regions were interesting, but actually fairly fun.

[Lord Chancellor]

But Meggie, Extemp is the only true event. :lol:

[Theatreguy]

Im zach harrell.... from dallas texas....
I go to rlturner..... I have done hi,di,prose, poetry, duet, oratory, extemp, improptu and poi..... thats like 8 once i did them all at one tourny thats like the sure way to get the competitor award.... haha.... fun stuff.... but the events i have finalled the most with are oo, porse and poetry.... and when they offer impromptu and now poi i do those.....
Yea.... thats me

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

But Meggie, Extemp is the only true event.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

*busts spleen laughing*


Bwar. Extempers are a special... special... mildly retarded but still special breed.

[Lord Chancellor]

:oops:

[dukmeister]

Don't be embarrassed. Be proud! It may be a slight mental deficiency, but it's a good one.

[KY_Liberal]

She only laughed because she knows it's true....

Oh, and for those who don't know me, I'm Joe Gallenstein (there is no V or Q in my name... I promise). Boone County High School. EX, IM, PO, Ted Turner, and of course Congress.

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

I'm an extemper. I'm laughing because its true. Don't blush BRYCE! Its ok.

Even if you did accuse me of getting Spencer's autograph. Really now...

[meggie33]

Forgive me, my Lord Chancellor, but I have to admit I'm an actor, not a thinker. . . Thinking hurts too much. :lol:

[everoblivious]

woo hoo I'm Bree from Boone!

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

VFIRE.



Oh my... Maybe we should have an FOL get together in an ELEVATOR.

[everoblivious]

YES! for old times sake! VFIRE LIVES ON!

[everoblivious]

dude, Regionals=Elevator

[KY Acid Trip]

Ok im Thomas Padget ( easy to tell eh? ) Umm... I am just doing storytelling this year, Possibly Ted Turner debate. :)

[ria]

regions was awesome. we didn't have anyone competing in locker rooms and storage closets this time around.

we're all going to have to walk around at state with signs that say "FOL" on them, so we can identify each other.

[BansheeSoccer13]

Hi guys, I'm Rachel from Bethelehem. I do Story, Duo, and HI. I have done.. Prose, Solo, Improv...um...probably some others, I'm gonna' do Poetry at Gatlinburg...so yeah, that's me!

[ria]

yay for gatlinburg! i look forward to it. my mom gets to go! i wish my brother could, that would be awesome. oh well. i wonder what the odds are of lasure letting him come to state...

[veronica]

Have i met you meggie at the last tournament?? I think i met you when i ate lunch with Maria...maybe...



oh and jimmy we so have to meet up at state!! unless you are going to NFL districts...

[meggie33]

Yep yep, um. . Assumption me thinks. We always have fascinating lunch conversations. . .

[WootWoot2007]

oh and jimmy we so have to meet up at state!! unless you are going to NFL districts...

that sounds like a plan...i am going to the CFL qualifying thingy, so if you are going to that. then we can meet there. i am not going to NFL though.

-Jimmy

[IamTHATnerd]

k, so nobody in here knows me, hahaha except for Josh and Joele, but ill state myself anyway. Im Stephen Bardwell, i live in Louisiana. the only one from here since Catherine left. i graduated, but am helping my old team. i did everything but extemp and debate, but my main events were OI and duo. soooo, yea!

[veronica]

[vertigo_dx]

Courtney from Kentucky Country Day. Extemp, Broadcasting, Impromptu, Duo :P

[veronica]

Courtney is kickass

[vertigo_dx]

you apparently haven't seen my duo lately :P

[Man with No Nation]

you apparently haven't seen my duo lately :P

lol, and she totally skips over how GREAT she is at Extemp...

[meggie33]

Um. . . I don't think so, Veronica. I always get in there and get out as fast as I can. That's the only thing I didn't qualify in. I was soooo excited that I didn't have to do it again!

[veronica]

ok!! sorry then it was a different girl from your team.

I feel like a moron now

[meggie33]

Lol, don't worry about it. DI does that to people. . .

[theinnerear]

wow, i hate to be such a conformist, but this is one post i couldn't resist to post upon.
wow, i really didnt realize how many kids we have on FOL.
this site is definitely taking over.

k,anyway, about me:

the name's Ali Robbins from Boone County.
aka the lesser half of melissa cavner (i'm her improv partner)
i do broadcasting, prose, and LD debate.

woot....yeah i think that's it.

[veronica]

Welcome! Yeah there are alot of us KY Kids on here

[KY Acid Trip]

ALI ROBBINS!!!!! Glad to see that you finnaly posting on FoL. :D Oh boy i cant wait till lunch today, its the end of 1st block and im starving!!!

[ria]

i have decided: i am definetaly making FOL buttons to wear at g-burg and state. it'll be awesome.

and just so you know, you have the most random signature i think i've seen yet.

[theinnerear]

THOMAS P!!!!
for like...the billionth time, you are one of my favorite people ever!!!!
make me a promise:
on the way down to one of the competitions, you'll be my bus buddy for like...30 minutes.
OH and i'm serious: if you get bored this weekend, call me up!

we've had nothin' but good times, otherwise i would have said "good times, good times"...
that makes sense, right?

[Man with No Nation]

I'm gettin' ditched... :(

lol, I'm jk. FINE BE THAT WAY. lol, again jk. BTW, Representative Othman, Boone County High School. Hey! I said Hey, a what's goin on...Ok, I'm done... :?

[theinnerear]

I am definitely not ditching you.

Ali Othman, you are my boyfriend, and together we shall CONQUER.

(im not sure what we're conquering...but i assure you, we WILL conquer)

[Man with No Nation]

I am definitely not ditching you.

Ali Othman, you are my boyfriend, and together we shall CONQUER.

(im not sure what we're conquering...but i assure you, we WILL conquer)

lol, I said I was jk...We could conquer the bus...Or this board...Or nothing at all. Either way, if you think we need to divide to conquer then you are mistaken...AGAIN, JK! :roll:

Ok, at CFL, I think I'm gonna wear a piece of paper that says Man With No Nation/Ali Othman for all those wanting to meet me...Fair Enough?

[KY Acid Trip]

I dont even think im gonna compete at CFL. I might go to support the team but to compete? It seems kind of pointless, i really do hate the fact that they combine DI, HI, solo, and story all together. Thats massive ammounts of people and so many different styles might make a judge go one way or another. =/

[theinnerear]

i agree with thomas p.

idk what i'm even DOING at CFL.
cant do broadcasting or improv.
dont wanna do a prose/poetry.
so i guess i'm stuck with...
....
DEBATE.

[meggie33]

I feel bad now. . . I can't go to CFL, too busy. I wanted to do Prose/Poetry, but. . . alas. . . hope everyone has fun though!

[ria]

better debate than dp.

i didn't know you weren't going to cfl, megan. of course, i never really thought you were going, but still.

[BansheeSoccer13]

Yeah, DP makes my brain hurt. My hat goes off to Aaron who has decided to go in the most hellatious of all events! lol Sorry to anyone who might like DP, but I did it last year...I thought I would lose my mind! I think a lot of people who should have broken didn't due to the weirdness of the event. But the past is behind us, we'll just have to see what happens this year!

[ria]

yeah, power to anyone who is willingly going to do dp. last year i didn't really know what i was getting myself into. nobody had warned me how difficult the event itself was, just that the tournament was difficult. and this year it'll be even harder with fewer people advancing and.....aaaahh! can't think about it! *goes to her happy place and hums loudly*

[BansheeSoccer13]

*nods* very true

[CrispinOfOrion]

Hi, I'm Chris Stahl, Lexington Kentucky (I'm in the Junior Speech Team year, but i'll be in High School next year).

[Last of the cowboys]

Hi John Sosbe here, former extemper and impromptuer from Harrison County

[veronica]

Its sad to think i have made so many friends through FOL and I won't get to see any of them again.... :cry:

[ria]

me too, but we will if we come back to judge.

for the sake of the newbies, hi! i'm ria, senior from bethlehem high in bardstown, ky. i compete in.....well....*sniff*...i competed in story, solo and duo interp. welcome to the boards!

ack! that's the first time i've used the past tense when referring to speech! aaaahh! :cry:

[veronica]

Crap!

Just when i get my mind off of never EVER doing Storytelling again I read your post maria. Darn you!!!!

...... I am Veronica from Daviess County... I .... I...used to compete in Storytelling (awesome event!!) DI, Improv and Poetry a few times...

[CorbinSpeechCrazy]

Daniel Noble, Corbin Kentucky, Storytelling and Improv Duo. I was 7th this year in storytelling. Shout out to all the 7th placers out there!

[ria]

i'm sorry veronica! i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry!

i have to say that i'm relieved that i wasn't 7th place. for once in my life i wasn't next out. thank God.

[veronica]

haha I am so sory for all you 7thplacers!!

:evil:

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

I like 7th placers. They make me happy. 3 (my favourite number) + 4 makes 7.


Much love to the 7th placers. Like me. At regionals. For academic team... WHY?!?!?!?!?!

[ria]

hey, that means you can join the Next Out Club, of which i am, due to my terminal Next Out Disease, the ultimate Queen and Goddess.

[veronica]

atleast you get that far

[ria]

but it's terrible when it happens all the time. it's no longer really an achievement when it happens all the time, and no matter how hard you work, you just can't get over that little hump. it's not "at least i got that far" to me.

[Interper05]

Ria, I know exactly how you feel. At the Glenbrooks National Tournment in Chicago, in Oratory, I was the the next out to Quarterfinals. I had the ranks of 2,3,3,3 and a compostie of 11. Mr. Etherton talked to the person incharge of the tab room and he said that you needed a composite of 10 to break. I was happy and sad at the same time. And at KYNFL, I was one rank away from going to NFL Nationals. I had a composite of 21 and Mason Scisco had a 20. Again it was bitter-sweet.

[Jesus]

sorry for butting in on the southern forum but...
1 point away from breaking to finals in HI at SCU invite freshman year
1 point away from breaks at MLK in duo freshman year
1 point away from HI finals at SCU soph year (103 temp with flu)
1 point away from breaks at berkely in HI soph year
1 point awat from Finals in HI at MLK this year (they took 4 from 1 room, 2 from the other...i was 3rd in the other)

I kid you not. every one of these was ONE POINT. i was also 2 or 3 away from duo finals at berkely this year. so next time you think about how unlucky you are....read this. To my advantage, the tournaments i didnt break in HI, i finaled in Duo or debate or visa versa...but still. look at that

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Ooo... California blokes!

I most definately feel your pain. You still appear to be kicking butt and taking names, so I wouldn't feel to bad.

Hee hee. Hi, my name is Sara. And you are?

[ria]

ryan, i feel your pain there. at CFL state, rachel and i were next out for going to nats, taking fourth place when they sent the top three. then the woman running it told us that there were actually enough schools there to send the top five people, but they registered late so we couldn't. that just made me feel worse.

and jesus, i feel your paing too. but my entire sophomore year, i was 1 or 2 points away from prose finals. junior year was better, but this year i was constantly doing the same with solo. and i have a strong suspicion that rachel and i were next out for duo semifinals at state this year, too. at the very first tournament i ever competed at, i went 2 2 (it was a swing), and it took a 1 2 to break. this has been following me from Day 1, as a scared little freshman, to now, as an overachieving little senior. blah.

[BansheeSoccer13]

Yeah, I don't know what we're talking about really, but that whole CFL thing was pretty much poop. People shouldn't have been allowed to register late. End of story. But, it's not my deal.

*sigh* If wishes were fishes I'd have a sea full of dreams....

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

I'd be going to CFL nats in Extemp if it wasn't for that issue... I don't know. I feel bad for that lady, she had alot of forensics kids pissed at her, even though she really couldn't do anything about it.

WAKE UP BIG SOUTH FORUMS!

Its sad not to see the orange checkmark on our little box

[ria]

yeah, i wasn't mad at her about it, i was just aggravated that she had to tell us.

[vertigo_dx]

I figure she did it to encourage schools to register on time next year. . . her giving us the facts, brutal though they might have been, was a really good move if it allows more kids to go to nats in 2006.

I know that's not much consolation for those who narrowly missed it this year, though.

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Yeah... But then again people will probably forget in 07 and 08... Vicious cycle.

Anyway, it just gives us more incentive to make sure we score the top 3.

Yay?!


Is it just me or is this really ot?

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

I'm sorry, I was in Extemp finals and didn't make it and I'm fairly sure that boone signed up.

Who were you in the extemp room? Is your name Vic?

[veronica]

Quentin do you happen to know a Rachel Roberts that graduated from Daviess County last year?????

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Yeah, you guys always do that sort of thing. Uh... Do you have reddish hair?

I'm trying to remember who you are, which will be null and void if you graduate in a month, but I hate knowing a name and not having a face- you know?

[ria]

i have a tendency to remember both names and faces really well, but i can't put the two together. it's faintly annoying.

[veronica]

Yeah, haven't talked to her in forever, or I guess one year...

ok..she wanted me to ask you if you still remembered her...don't ask me why.

[ria]

perhaps because people like to be remembered...?

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

OH! You are the skinny bloke with freckles. I know you now.

I can remember some faces and names but I want to know my competition for next year.

*insert evil grin/pinky smirk here.*

[dukmeister]

Quentin, start running now ...

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Hey you cowardly dawg!

You'll have to take your extemp defeat from me like a man, not a lily livered, yellow bellied coward running like a jackrabbit on a hot griddle with his tail betwixt his legs.

See what living in Kentucky has done to me?

[Andrea_Lovoll]

i'm andrea lovoll...as u can tell by my user name lol

i be from texas

yay texas!

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Well, Huot is a coward so you shouldn't listen to his advice. Face me man to woman.

Hi Andrea! Where in Texas are you from? I've driven through like... alot of it.

[dukmeister]

Oh yes, I am a coward.

Really, though, don't stop running. For your safety, you understand.

[Andrea_Lovoll]

Well, Huot is a coward so you shouldn't listen to his advice. Face me man to woman.

Hi Andrea! Where in Texas are you from? I've driven through like... alot of it.


i be from plano!!!!

[ria]

hey, i think i have relatives in plano. or at least, they used to be there. we can never really keep up with my dad's siblings, they move around so much...

*happy birthday to me! happy birthday to me!*

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Ah, Plano.
...
It doesn't sound familiar, where is Plano in Texas? East or west or waaaaaay down south?

Happy birthday!

I have no life.

[BansheeSoccer13]

I just realized like yesterday that your screen name was from a Jason Marz song. Just thought you should know that that rocks my socks!

[jman255]

Ah, Plano.
...
It doesn't sound familiar, where is Plano in Texas? East or west or waaaaaay down south?

Happy birthday!

I have no life.Right by the good 'ole Dallas

[mintyfreshdeathbreath]

Dallas is probably miffed you called her old, but now I know where it is. W0ot and such.

Lol, I love that song. I wish the radio would play it more as I am too cheap to buy his cd's

[Karen_LeBlanc]

I'm Karen LeBlanc (creative nickname, eh?) I'm an interper from Elkins High School in Missouri City Texas...So I guess I don't belong here?

[ria]

sure you belong here. Big South includes texas.

[nubian_lover]

As long as we're still introducing ourselves, I'm Brittany and I go to Red Mountain High School in AZ.
I do DI, DUO INTERP, POETRY, HI, and whatever else I can put my fingers into!

[ria]
