Now for the tournament. This didn't go very well and in my defense I MUST tell you my draws were terrible. Abseloutely TERRIBLE. 'Cept for one.

Round 1:Me vs. Some guy

Duel 1

This guy was pretty nice, and we talked Yu-Gi-Oh before the tournament. I drew some terrible cards on my first draw. 3 magic, 3 traps :~( This didn't last very long. He whooped me bad and i only took 1200 lp off of 'em. Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Duel 2

This was even SHORTER. Come on! Stupid "Heart Of The Cards"!! Work, I say!!!! He took me out with some hard hitters, and it ended 5200-0. I wasn't very sad about this cuz he was very kind like. "Aw, y'almost had me." Phht. Well B division for me...*Sigh*.

Round 2 vs. Earring man

Duel 1

I HATED this guy. Where's your respect for fellow duelists?! Geez. And he didn't say anything 'till I whooped him. Everytime I asked him "My turn?" He'd just nod. Who's he trying to be? Coolio McNotalk? My first hand was kickin'. I played Maha Vailo with a horn of the unicorn and La jinn which got him down to pretty low LP in only a couple of turns. :~) I abseloutely killed him with some weenies after my maha vailo and la jinn were destroyed. When I told him, "Hey man, you lose." He said "What!?!? In such a short amount of time?!!?" I literally had to walk him through the whole entire duel to get him to believe me. How come no one can take my word for things? End result-5700-0

Duel 2

He was pretty mad from last game and his mad dueling skills certainly showed it. I thought I had it when i got Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and Monster Reborned his Jinzo, but I guess not. He beat me up with La Jinn. Ugh. How disgraceful. It was pretty bad on my part with an end result of 5400-0. :~(

Duel 3

*Cries* Dear lord, my draws sucked!!!!! He beat me up with 5 weenies. A handful of turns. 7900-0. No comment.

My deck is pretty good, (ha, just ask me) and i think, no i KNOW I could've done MUCH better. My draws were terrible and I should've listened to my brother's friend when he said "Seperate all of your magic, trap and monsters a little, just in case." I'm too wreckless. Well I've learned a pretty valuable lesson. Don't face a rude duelist wearing an earring.

Props

-The support of the first guy I lost to.

-The look on the earring wearer's face when I whooped 'em once.

-My deck for being there in these hard times.

-My bro's friend's dad and mom for driving us there.

-Pepsi for tasting so good.

Slops

-THE AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING!!! IT WAS BOILING!!!

-My pack for suckin.

-Me not drawing my new cards.

-For earring man being so rude.

-For my draws being all magic and traps.

-Handing out my mini notebook and pencil around the tournament cuz no one else brought one.
