Should I post a link to my competition video?

Are you kidding me? If someone doesn't want to watch, they don't have to open the thread. Me not posting it doesn't affect whether or not they watch it. I asked because I wanted to know WHO WAS INTERESTED. Get it?


And if I miscontrued Sandra nz's comment, then I offer my apologies to her. It can be tricky sometimes interpreting a person's tone and intent when the communication is strictly text.

You were rude and short with her for no reason other than the fact she made a suggestion about something in your life she found intriguing. You're not obligated to have the conversation, but don't read motives into a pretty typical message board event: thread drift.

I know it's not a monologue. However, she said she was interested in a "discussion" that no one was having. How is that different from "hijacking"?

One answer to this question is "no".

She wasn't trying to takeover or re-direct this thread, which s hijacking. Perhaps she was suggesting to start a new thread, because she thought the topic was, I dunno, interesting? Or, if you we're interested in discussing in this thread, that's ok too. Hijacking is only a problem when it derails a thread. A thread evolving is different. Friendly suggestion- you need to lighten up a bit.

To ITD, Sandra_nz and anyone else I may have offended in this thread; please accept my apology. This entire training/prep regimen has been extremely stressful and difficult for me and I am stretched to my limit and cranky, irritable and short-tempered from it. It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. I probably shouldn't even be on the computer when I'm in such a state. I'm sorry.

[IvoryTowerDenizen]

No worries. Hope you feel better, soon.

No, I was just using reverse psychology on you. People saying they'd like to see the vid is obviously not going to work, so if we say we don't want to see it maybe you'll actually post it. Or not. Whatevs.

I had my competition; I lost by one point. One point. There were five judges and three out of the five chose my competitor as the winner; two chose me. It was a good competition and I'm ok with the outcome. I wasn't even sure if there was going to be anyone else to compete against, and I would much rather lose by one point than win against nobody (or lesser competition).

The only reason I haven't posted a link yet is because I am waiting to get a good video of my routine. The one I have now is blurry and far away and not very good. It'll still be a few days, I imagine.

So, it's been a few days. Post the blurry one at least man.

[Rhiannon8404]

I'm looking forward to seeing it, even if it's the blurry one.

[Ambivalid]

I am having some difficulty getting my professional copy of the show but it will be coming. I am not going to post the blurry one that my sister recorded from her phone, as it is not only blurry but far away and really does not look good at all.

In the meantime I can post this pic to show that I really did compete.


ETA: I know I really need to work on my facial expressions. Dammit.
