So today was pretty awesome. =D Clarie, Ellen, and I slept over at Laura's on Friday, and we have these very nice comfy air mattresses. Woke up at 4:00-4:30 to get all our hair and makeup ready, which sort of sucked, but meh. xP We ate Froot Loops for breakfast! And bagels. And candy. Yes, candy. The bus ride there was pretty boring though; I fell asleep halfway through and just slept. Apparently my makeup was really pretty according to Clarie and Laura.
When we got to Stockton, it was sprinkling and rather cold. Like I-can-see-my-breath and I-can't-feel-my-hands-or-face cold. And hella windy too. So all of guard was really nervous because we don't have the warmest uniform, our equipment leaves are hand and gets pushed places by the wind, and rain just sucks since it makes the flags rather heavy and the rifles super slippery. We got these thin plastic ponchos too, which were nice because they kept us dry for the most part, but also very annoying.
Anyways, our first warm-up went... not too well. My personal one was pretty decent but I guess for the most part, everyone was just getting the jitters out and warming up their bodies. Second warm-up was pretty good, and the actual show was the best one we've had. Not amazing, although I could call it that given our shows so far, but very good. We ended up tying for first with a score of 78.5. So yeah, that was nice. =]

We went to get food later, then I ditched the guard to play Publish or Perish with band people. It was super fun, especially since I had some pretty epic rounds.
So the first game, I was a Contributor, Graham was the Authority, Tommy/Giulio/Ross were Pioneers, and I forget who the Lunatics were. So the Lunatics got out pretty fast, then I was getting beat up by everyone, so it pretty much looked like the Pioneers were going to win, until by some weird chance, I happened to get some good cards when both Giulio and Tommy only had one credibility, so I took both of them out in one turn. xP The game went on for quite a while after though, so Ross just gave up since Graham and I would have eventually killed him.
The second game, I was a Pioneer, and I have no idea who anyone else was except Michael Frank, who was the Authority. Basically, what happened was I ended up facing off with him and we had this epic 1-1 1/2 hour back-and-forth battle until I finally killed him off. It was pretty amazing, but I felt sort of bad since I'm sure everyone else was bored as hell. xD
The third game was AMAZING. Tommy, Tony, and I were Pioneers, Graham and David were Lunatics, Giulio was the Authority, and Michael was the Contributor. Basically what happened after that was, Graham and David both thought the other was a Pioneer, so they kept trying to kill each other, and David thought I was a Lunatic, so he kept trying to help me. We went through a ton of turns with David just passing me cards (it's his ability) and trying to help me, so I thought that was pretty funny. Then Tony was about to die, and I was pretending to be a Lunatic, so I had to do something that would keep Tony in, but not give my cover away. Basically, I killed off Michael (since pretty much everyone wants him dead), and Graham, since David thought he was a Pioneer. But then Graham flipped his role card and David just sort of went, "Wow I allied with the wrong person." Tommy/Tony/I proceeded to kill off David and Giulio in a few more rounds. Then he called me mean for a while afterward. =[ But that was pretty fun. =P
So that was pretty fun. Clarie and Laura thought I was crazy, but meh. We kept having random people come over to see what we were doing too. There were these guys from Las Plumas, I believe, who came over because they thought it was Yu-Gi-Oh. xD Then they sang "Gee" and did the dance too, it was epic.

We went to awards, and it was FREEZING. Tommy, Giulio, David, and I (and Truc later on) all huddled together for warmth. Ross sort of sat to the side by himself. But yeah, it was freezing, and raining, and extremely windy. We ate David's food (he freaking brought his track bag full of a ton of stuff xD) and just bunched together under umbrellas. Ross looked like a little kid in his jacket and drinking hot chocolate though, it was pretty cute. =P
The announcer kept messing up because "it was her first time," so that was really annoying, but whatever. Oh, and DAVID BIT ME. Twice. He blames it on the cold; he says he's not responsible for his actions. But basically, I had my guard jacket on with the hood and I'm huddling against David, and he bites my shoulder, and later on, he bites my head. I was like, "o.o What are you doinggggg?!?!" But it was... interesting?
I got a piggy back ride back to the buses though! I get one from him every season. xP
