Dear Diary
Third day of Spirit Week

Today was Movie Character Day. Me, 'Nessa, Jennifer, Lisa, and Hayleigh all came as Disney animated characters. I was Alice from Alice in Wonderland, 'Nessa was Jasmine, Jennifer was Belle, Lisa was Yzma, and Hayleigh came as Snow White. No one else put a lot of effort into costumes, except... that's right. Matthew won AGAIN!

He talked some upper classmen into joining in, promising them they'd win the group prize.

He came as The Dread Pirate Roberts, black clothes, mask, all the great quotes and able to pull off the look.

Then he went and topped it.

He staged scenes from The Princess Bride all through lunch!

First, he had the swordfight with Carlos Vega as Inigo Montoya, using the tables as terrain and executing the lines and choreography perfectly, using the wooden training swords from the Fencing Club.

Next, he had the wrestling match with "Tiny" Simms as Fezzik the Giant. Tiny is a senior, and actually over seven feet tall. Big guy. They bounced off of the pillars and Tiny ended up sprawled on the ground and snoring (I think he was faking, but I'm not sure).

And then he sat down and had the battle of wits with Fred Meijer as Vizzini the Sicilian while they actually ate their lunch! Fred's bald-cap wasn't all that convincing, but as a whole they were awesome.

Yes, they won the group prize... and Matthew won the single prize.

Again.

Goober.
