Post subject:  Speech and Debate Tournament

From the 17th to the 21st, I will be unable to access this forum due to a speech and debate tournament near the Canadian border. I thought I'd give fair warning so I could answer any questions about the tournament, and about the community story, before I leave.

So, hammer away! (For those of you across the pond, who may not have heard American English in a while, that was a slang phrase, equating to "crush my brain with a trillion answer-less questions!"

You do speech and debate? So cool! What's your favorite style? (I don't know if that's the word, but I mean things like improv, persuasive, etc.) Are you on a team?

I am a member of a speech and debate club and I am an affiliate of the Nation Christian Forensics and Communications Association, a Christian group reserved for home-educate high-school students. (That was a mouthful.)

In the NCFCA they are called events. I don't have particular favorites, but there are a few are really don't prefer. I am competing in Dramatic Interp., Duo Interp. and Impromptu. (Check out Extemporaneous on the website...it's scary.)

I am not debating this year, but I'm planning on competing in Lincoln-Douglas (One-on-one value debate) during the 2010-2011 season.

Wow! It sounds really fun! The NCFCA? I don't think I've heard of them. Although, I've actually only heard about one organization, the name of which I cannot at this moment remember. I hope you have a good time!

I have returned! And I'm still alive, too!

It was fun. I learned quite a bit.

Elestar, you may be thinking of the National Forensics League, confusingly known as the NFL...one can imagine how much this bothers football fans.
