Fond of Persimmons

Before I get into what I really want to talk about, I'd like to take a moment to ponder the word "persimmon." It honestly just popped into my head and voila, I had a useful random subject to discuss. Persimmon itself is an actual fruit, but this is not the specimen with which I am concerned. The word persimmon is simply delightful and pleasant to say in its own. Try it, I guarantee it'll make you feel happier, or your money back (not that you're paying anything). It makes me feel that way though, and it's pretty much how I'm feeling right now. Thus, I am going to dub persimmon my own word. I'm pleasantly persimmon.

On to a more serious subject. Tonight I had my first mock trial competition! (Hold for applause) And . . . we DOMINATED! It felt so good, let me tell you. It was kind of like a persimmon if you think about it. I guess not really though. It was so intense being there in the court room, but at the same time was much more relaxing than expected. I am so proud of our Defense Team and ecstatic that we are going to advance to the next round! I mean, how impressive is it that we were SO good the judge couldn't even let a pity verdict slide? We won that too! Danielle, Grace, the Fasaners, Doc, Mo, Ace (me), and JotheJoker herself kicked some serious ass tonight. Congratulations to us! I feel like we should have some very merry un-birthday type celebration. The In n Out more or less sufficed, I suppose, but I still just want to jump for joy!

I'm off to eat some persimmons, Lauren.
