For those who do not know what east coast swing is:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL3u-d8STmA[/media]
we were doing that, but we were dancing at the speed of 120 Beats per minute
I was practicing east coast swing for about 4 weeks now with a girl in one of my classes (I'm not interested in her), she saw a flyer for a junior east coast swing dance off with a $300 prize, and signed me and her up (without my consent). I didn't think it was a good idea because one of my pothead science teacher (Mr. Sweeb) was running the event, and I didn't trust him. I was going to tell him that I cancelled the sign up, but my partner insisted that I should compete. The dance off was scheduled on the 15th of November, but it was postponed a shitload of times until the even was held on the 26th. So during that week we practiced for about 3 hours a day; 1 hour during lunch at me school, and 2 hours at her place. We did all this flawlessly, there were no errors whatsoever.
But due to the weather in Canadiana, my partner started to get sick 1 fucking day before the big event. Her mother made this damn good soup for her, but It didn't work. I gave her some vitamin C pills and some halls to speed up the recovery, that didn't really work. She then started getting moody and decided not to sign up for the contest. I didn't really care because I didn't want to participate anyways. But then, I remembered the cash prize. $300 dollars is alot of money for a 14 year old ($150 if I split it evenly). So I decided there was nothing to loose. I then searched for a new partner, by calling up some friends that are girls. They all said no :smith:, so I had no choice but to show up to the dance off empty handed.
I arived a half hour prior to the contest, I then went straight to Mr. Swed (the pothead), and asked if there were any spare girls available. He said "no", and told me to ask the Judges.
Lady luck was on my side and one of the 3 judge had a 12 year old daughter. I took the offer graciously and took her to a room to show me what she knows. She had no idea what east coast swing was. I taught her some basic moves, and some advanced stuff. She had an extremely negative attitude, and did not listen. I told her about the prize for winning 1st place, she didn't care. I told her that it would be over in 3 minutes, she didn't care. I told her that she would be popular, she didn't fucking care. It took me 15 minutes to convince her into doing this, she said, and I quote "Fuck off, I'll do it."
I felt like hitting her, but that would not do any good. For the last 10-20 or so minutes, she started watching some emo punk music videos (go fucking figure).
When it was our turn to perform for the judges... well... picture this....
A greasy 6 foot kid tossing around a 4 foot depressive sex toy while classical music is playing in the background for 3 minutes.
When all of that was done, I went to the nearest bathroom and almost punched out a mirror because I was so angry and sad at the same time. Why can't people just fucking try new things?
While the other 16 or so couples performed, I text'd my partner "Wish u were here"
I felt good for doing that and it cheered me up a bit.
The winners were announced, some Asian boy and a reasonably attractive girl won 1st, some mildly-obese kid and his sister won 2nd...
[b]And to my fucking surprise, I won 3rd[/b]
*insert a major shitload of "what the fucks" here*
I won a plastic brown colored medal and a a gift certificate for 2 free small fries at McDonalds, which I immediately threw into the nearest garbage bin.
I've could of won 1st judging on how I beat at least 10 people with a depressive sextoy.
I don't know who I should blame for not getting first.
Myself for not having a good enough partner/not finding a good partner?
My "real" partner for having a shit immune system?
My "emo" partner for having a shit attitude?
Thinking on how I could of won $150 makes me really mad. I could of bought some new cloths or games with that money.
I haven't been talking to my partner since the contest. She didn't reply to my "wish u were here" text, and I'm a bit mad right now. I'll try talking to her tomorrow, at school.
EDIT:
I think I was a bit selfish blaming my sick partner. I spent weeks making this dance perfect. This caused an emotional overload. That, and how my partner was pmsing a bit.
But the world aint perfect.

God dammit, gaybows
What part of "yet" don't you guys fucking understand?
150USD isn't to big of a loss, especially not for a 16 year old, and nor is it a fact that you could have won if to be honest.
blame society
God you sound like such a whiny bitch.
Dude, you can swing dance, instant props.
Seriously, bitches love swing dancing.
Like Smiley faces
Bitches love smiley faces.
how can you blame someone for having a shit immune system
you're a dick
You got to dance with a 12 year old. I'd be grateful if I were you.

:wtc:
You don't have to blame anyone. Shit happens. I'm pretty sure that your original partner didn't want to get sick, you had to teach some random girl how to dance, and you still got third. Given the circumstances, you sound like a bad ass dancer so good job.
blame me, I'd love to take credit for cheating you out of $300
So from what I can tell, you are a 14 year old that places all their blame onto a sick girl and a 12 year old. Nice.
could HAVE
COULD[B] HAVE[/B]
Oh it's roflburger nevermind, it all makes sense now.
You being 14 makes the whole "Lol are u 12 joke" all the more better

Oh wait, you're talking about the other chick, the one with the illness. Yeah, go bring her your bountiful haul of McDonalds french-fries.

Your trying to blame everyone around you and saying only you were good at dancing. Then you said a ASIAN guy won, which seemed a tad bit racist to me.
You also have to accept that you don't always win in life and when you don't you don't need to throw a tantrum.

(1) I won 3rd, my partner didn't do anything. She had no emotion whatsoever, and I'm not kidding.
(2) A Caucasian guy won OMFG RACIST/A Black guy won OMFG RACIST
(3) I'm pretty sure %75 of facepunch would be pissed if a large amount of money was taken away from you. For instance $150 is like $1000 to an adult. If $1000 was stolen from you, would you be pissed?
I hope you realise all your "examples" are entirely out of context with what happened with you, more specifically

Nobody stole money from you and no matter how much you bitch, cry and whine it's not going to get it back. As you said yourself, deal with it.:frog:

I'm not bitching. I'm not crying. I'm not whining.
And I know I'm not going to get it back.
If you were in the exact situation I was in, you would understand.
I wish I could dance swing
It's like the most awesome dance on earth :smith:
Why the hell do you say "I've" instead of "I"?
