Yep. In high school. In college my speech credit was through a professional writing and presentation class.

Man I have no desire to work today. It's only a half day, but I still don't wanna.

Is giving a speech really nerve wracking? I have to give one tonight. I'm afraid i'm gonna bomb it, I stutter really bad in front of other people when talking about school stuff. Or I get brain farts and forget what i'm talking about.

Eh, I'm pretty good at public speaking or performing. If I'm nervous, I just practice a lot in front of the mirror or in the car. The key is: if you flub something up or forget a line, act like it never happened. Just skip it and move on to the next line. Likely, no one even noticed. If you don't make a big deal about it, no one else will either.

ofie looks pretty now, thank god for makeup,

Ofie always looks pretty
pillow fight?

Yeah, I had to take a speech class in order to have the units to transfer.

I'm sure that you will do wonderfully! Just don't over think it and you'll be fine! I was afraid that I would do bad on my speeches I had to do, but I managed to pull them all off, thankfully! Just don't over think it, and I know that things will go great! :]

Haha, and here I am thinking "oh god, I have to put on makeup to go to work. Blaaah"

I can't wear make up, more because I'm not a fan of hiding behind make up, and two, I'm allergic to most brands and it's not worth my time to figure out what kinds work well with me because I've got really sensitive skin. And before y'all say anything, even the sensitive skin ones react badly with me - a friend of mine has tried them.

Thanks everyone. Guess I'll quit worrying about it. It's an introduction speech so we have to tell about selves, pretty easy right? i mean i do it all the time. *deep breaths* Another thing is, a lot of people don't get my sense of humor. I dunno if it's dry or just too silly or what. When i'm nervous i say more silly things to keep people to laugh with me and they never do. haha.

thank you nemo!

anyone have any ideas what to do for a contest to win a yumeh plushie?
something to do with kitties

You're welcome llonka! Oh, that doesn't sound too bad at all! Just be yourself and if they don't get it, it's their loss! Just take deep breaths before you're going and concentrate on breathing. That's one of the things that helped me when I had to do my speeches. :]

I don't know what has already been said as I wasn't here for any of the original discussion, so yeah. I'm out of the loop here.

Haha, oh honey, I understand that. I like puns. So I end up with that stupid moray eel face waiting for someone to laugh with me. I just learned to laugh for everyone and go with it.

Heh. I was going to suggest a biggest pet kitty contest, but that would be unfairly skewed in my favor. Ummm...I got nothin'.

too bad you can't go to class with me tonight. I think that's another thing that bothers me, I don't know anyone in there.

steel- ha! i'm glad i'm not the only one! i'm a sucker for puns.. one time i walked into class and was like "I wish I had my gloves, it's cold out there.. I think they got "kid"napped.. get it? kid napped... because i have kids..." nobody got it. xP

If I was closer, I so would go with you. That's the worst, not knowing anyone. Hopefully you can make friends so the next speech won't be as hard as you'll at least know a few people. I'll be there with you in spirit, does that help any? :]

Haha! I'd have laughed! :] That's funny! :D

hopefully you'll make some friends today, llonka
go in confident, we love you, what's not to love?

thank you hummy! i probably won't, i tend to stick to myself and won't talk to anyone because i probably won't see them again after this class.

llonka: That's good! Haha, you and the english teacher that I had for 9th through 11th grade would have gotten along amazingly - she LOVED puns. LOL! Whenever I hear a pun now, I think of her.

Good luck with your speeh! Try looking above everyone's heads. It helps me sometimes

Ooooo! Good point there SZP! Totally forgot about that one, yes, I did that plenty of times. It helped at times for me too.

Thanks everyone!

Guess it's lunch time, anyone want a corn dog?

Haha, kidnapped. Seriously. We are special people.
I'll just leave this here:
