RnnrBrian (2:22:32 PM): Hola new tribemate!
"Rudy" (2:22:45 PM): lol hey whats up?
"Rudy" (2:22:48 PM): sorry, forgot about that
RnnrBrian (2:23:37 PM): lmao, no worries, it's all good...Ugh, just got home from Thanksgiving with the fam damily...and now I gotta pack up and head to work in like 20 minutes. And yourself?
"Rudy" (2:24:00 PM): oh not much, working on a 54 page Middle Eastern history paper
RnnrBrian (2:24:40 PM): ....whaaaa? Ewww. Okay, nevermind, you're probably having a shittier day than me. You win hands down.
"Rudy" (2:24:56 PM): lol its fine, I have two more weeks to do it
RnnrBrian (2:25:51 PM): Oh. Okay, that takes the suck factor away a little. Still, I would be quite annoyed
"Rudy" (2:26:10 PM): yeah, break is not nearly as enjoyable
RnnrBrian (2:26:58 PM): agreed. I have a few papers I was planning on writing this weekend for the end of the semester as well. Annnnd, yeah, not happening, haha.
"Rudy" (2:27:06 PM): lol
RnnrBrian (2:30:26 PM): So besides THAT, lol, your thanksgiving was good, I take it? did ya go home for it?
"Rudy" (2:31:47 PM): no, I live too far away and I thought it better to just save my money to go home for Christmas
RnnrBrian (2:35:09 PM): well, at least you spared yourself the weekend of awkwardness that I had to go through, lol. Unless you tell me that your family ain't awkward...and then I'd have to call you a liar because I'm convinced that EVERYONE has an awkward family
"Rudy" (2:35:42 PM): lol I think mine is the most awkward...trust me, I am NOT looking forward to Christmas in some ways
RnnrBrian (2:37:30 PM): Thank god for me Chistmas is just going to be with my parents and sister this year. I can deal with them okay, it's the rest of them that drive me shit-crazy.
"Rudy" (2:37:44 PM): its my step mom for me
"Rudy" (2:37:58 PM): ULTRA religious and its her way or no way as far as that goes
RnnrBrian (2:39:57 PM): Well, she DOES have Jesus on her side, so she should ALWAYS be in the right *eyeroll*
RnnrBrian (2:39:59 PM): haha, jk
"Rudy" (2:40:16 PM): lol it does not help that my brother converted to Islam
"Rudy" (2:40:21 PM): THAT went over well
RnnrBrian (2:43:03 PM): LOL. ay yi yi, I'm sure it did. I've lived with a roomate who was like that, so I know how it goes
"Rudy" (2:43:21 PM): yeah, I can only take it in small doeses
RnnrBrian (2:45:38 PM): *eyeroll* agreed. Hey, I have to go to work, but when I get back home late tonight I'll help out with the challenge if there's anything I can do. Adios!
"Rudy" (2:45:55 PM): ok, but the challenge is not until tomorrow
RnnrBrian (2:46:18 PM): really? but i just popped online and it was posted around 3
"Rudy" (2:46:21 PM): crap
RnnrBrian (2:47:03 PM): lol, no worries, I've been the only one online all hour
RnnrBrian (2:47:10 PM): *on the boards
RnnrBrian (2:47:50 PM): and Robb knows about it as well, so I think we'll be good.
RnnrBrian (2:48:16 PM): anyway, I'm sorry, but I have to leave for work. Good luck! and sorry I can't help out more
"Rudy" (2:48:22 PM): ok, see you later

"Robb" (2:37:04 PM): i'm still at home with the fam - i fly out tomorrow
RnnrBrian (2:39:00 PM): Nice. Hopefully the visit home was nice for you and not awkward like mine always is, haha
"Robb" (2:39:14 PM): lol
RnnrBrian (2:41:05 PM): Well, I'm probably gonna get home in a few minutes, but when I get back (around 12:30 EST) I'll help out on the challenge if there still is stuff to do.

RnnrBrian (1:16:18 PM): yeah! Duh, lmao, I keep introducing myself to people as Brian and they're like "...wtf?" Ha, yeah, I'm playing as Gary. Nice to meet ya finally.
"Dan K." (1:16:52 PM): im alex btw, as in my name lol
"Dan K." (1:16:56 PM): oops caps, sorry
RnnrBrian (1:17:47 PM): lmao, no worries, it's all good. I'm 22 from Wisconsin. And yourself?
"Dan K." (1:18:21 PM): 19 from mexico
RnnrBrian (1:19:18 PM): Really? What part? I actually lived in Mexico all of last year. I lived in Guadalajara
"Dan K." (1:19:45 PM): mexico city
RnnrBrian (1:22:27 PM): ah, el DF. Que padre! yo viaje alli el febrero pasado! (sorry, my spanish is still pretty shitty. I knew next to no spanish when I got there, and I still am not GREAT at it, lol)
"Dan K." (1:22:48 PM): omg you know the df <3 no one ever does and your level is rather good
"Dan K." (1:23:07 PM): much better than most people who try and use it either way
RnnrBrian (1:24:47 PM): jeje, gracias! Me encanto la ciudad! Pero habia much....contaminacion (?) alli. But I loved the sunsets, they looked very pretty.
"Dan K." (1:25:36 PM): siiii la contaminacion es un asco!
RnnrBrian (1:27:48 PM): mmhmm. y solo viajamos a los lugares turisiticas alli...como la casa de Frida Kahlo y los museos....pero fuimos a la....(Pink district) durante la noche, y fue muy divertido!
"Dan K." (1:28:06 PM): zona rosa? hahaha
RnnrBrian (1:28:10 PM): yeah!
"Dan K." (1:28:18 PM): oh gosh, i dont like it there
"Dan K." (1:28:38 PM): one of my friends party was in a nightclub there and it was really really awkward
RnnrBrian (1:32:18 PM): heh. We went to a club called....ugh, I don't remember the name. Alive, maybe? or Living? I think it was called Living. I just remember I got seperated from my friends and had to find my way back to the hotel by myself.
"Dan K." (1:32:35 PM): omg i went to the living too
"Dan K." (1:32:55 PM): and the pryde another time, where we saw a teacher which made it awkwardER
RnnrBrian (1:34:22 PM): LOL! Ugh, teachers. I totally have done that as well. And the whole time you're thinking. "what are you DOING here? you shouldn't even EXIST outside of school!"
"Dan K." (1:34:37 PM): rofl yeah
"Dan K." (1:35:00 PM): but the teacher had the hots for me and my friends likes him and im not interested because im not into guys, but the teacher wanted to dance, it was HORRID
RnnrBrian (1:39:03 PM): *rolls eyes* That would totally be awkward. I think I would have tried to leave. Plus you probably had to go to his class the next day, so MORE awkwardness. You're English is awesome, btw.
"Dan K." (1:39:17 PM): thanks :-d
"Dan K." (1:39:45 PM): no, he was not our teacher just the cambridge exam coordniator in the school, um kind of like the english dep chief or something
RnnrBrian (1:43:40 PM): oh, like the head guy. Gotcha. Still....how awkward and lame. And I'm guessing he was like, thirty something years old? *shudder*
"Dan K." (1:44:36 PM): haha yeah,
"Dan K." (1:44:38 PM): not cool
"Dan K." (1:44:43 PM): and my friend tony was all over him
"Dan K." (1:44:47 PM): it was not a nice thing
RnnrBrian (1:46:26 PM): lol. But then again people do stupid things at clubs. I know I'VE done many things that I regret while I was down there. So maybe I'll give him a pass in that he was probably being drunk and high on club music, haha
"Dan K." (1:46:43 PM): lol
"Dan K." (1:46:47 PM): yeah i have done some shit too
RnnrBrian (1:49:35 PM): yeah...but most of it was so FUN! Ugh, I wish I were back in Mexico. I really miss it. Now I'm back in Wisconsin (it's way up north, near Canada) and not near any cities, or clubs, or nothing. And it's freezing. And snowing. And gross, lol
"Dan K." (1:49:54 PM): lol ive never seen snow
RnnrBrian (1:51:39 PM): LOL, BELIEVE me, it's nothing to see. It looks cool, yeah, but it's cold and nasty and makes the roads slippery and you have to scrape ice off your car everyday...not cool. Pinche snow, lol
"Dan K." (1:52:27 PM): lol
"Dan K." (1:52:31 PM): are you latin?
RnnrBrian (1:54:50 PM): Well...kind of. My grandma on my mom's side is from Panama. But I never really knew Spanish before Mexico, and don't really know anything about Panama, lol. So I don't consider myself latino, but I guess I am, ya know?
"Dan K." (1:55:11 PM): yes, i do
RnnrBrian (1:55:45 PM): And yourself? Are you from the DF or do you just go to school there?
"Dan K." (1:56:06 PM): im from here
RnnrBrian (2:00:14 PM): oh hey, I think the host is going to post the challenge
"Dan K." (2:00:25 PM): hm, i hope so. i feel awful haha
RnnrBrian (2:00:47 PM): ew. Feel sick?
"Dan K." (2:02:11 PM): yeah, drank too much on a party on friday
"Dan K." (2:02:20 PM): but i was at the party until yesterday at 6
"Dan K." (2:02:23 PM): so im feeling awful
RnnrBrian (2:03:13 PM): Ugh, I've been there. Eat some bread, that always helps
"Dan K." (2:03:37 PM): im so not hungry, i also have flu and suburns all over my skin for whatever reason
RnnrBrian (2:04:46 PM): lol, I burn like a mother f-er, and then I turn orange. Which is weird
RnnrBrian (2:04:54 PM): ^for sunburns
"Dan K." (2:05:34 PM): i have red shits all over my face, chest, shoulders and abs which bothers me because i dont know how i got them
RnnrBrian (2:06:25 PM): eww. Hopefully it's not like an allergic reaction to something
RnnrBrian (2:06:38 PM): oh, it's a puzzle challenge. Me and Velva are doing puzzles 5 and 6
"Dan K." (2:06:49 PM): i dont think so, i mean i am alergic to sun but since i have asthma then my throat would have closed
"Dan K." (2:07:59 PM): i hate puzzles
"Dan K." (2:08:10 PM): i cant see colours on my comp
RnnrBrian (2:09:28 PM): really? Lmao, you may not be that much help...maybe after we put some puzzles together you can look and see what they are of and help with that part of the challenge
"Dan K." (2:09:41 PM): sure
"Dan K." (2:09:47 PM): are they big?
RnnrBrian (2:11:49 PM): yeah. Bigger than that other puzzle.
"Dan K." (2:11:55 PM): ewww
RnnrBrian (2:12:30 PM): I mean the puzzle pieces are big, lol. The puzzle itself is average sized
"Dan K." (2:12:40 PM): oh
RnnrBrian (2:14:27 PM): can you click on one of the puzzles and see if you'd be able to do one? 'cause everyone has to do one puzzle for the challenge
"Dan K." (2:14:37 PM): shitk, ok
"Dan K." (2:14:50 PM): stupid computers colours
RnnrBrian (2:15:46 PM): all i know right now is that 2 5 and 6 are already being done. So pick another one, I guess
"Dan K." (2:16:07 PM): ok
"Dan K." (2:16:20 PM): omg this are so big!
"Dan K." (2:17:04 PM): ill work on it later, rgiht now i kind of want to lay down and sleep my backs killing me

RnnrBrian (2:01:47 PM): Hey new tribemate!
"Kathy" (2:02:02 PM): hey there!
"Kathy" (2:02:07 PM): how's it going?
RnnrBrian (2:02:43 PM): good! I'm a little tired, but other than that I'm fine. And yourself?
RnnrBrian (2:02:49 PM): Oh, they posted the challenge!
"Kathy" (2:03:30 PM): i'm doing good too. tried to take a nap but couldn't fall asleep
"Kathy" (2:03:34 PM): puzzles
RnnrBrian (2:04:15 PM): I know...gross. I can start on number 5 if that's okay with ya
"Kathy" (2:04:27 PM): that's fine
"Kathy" (2:04:36 PM): i can start on # 6
"Kathy" (2:06:39 PM): should we start a worksheet as to what we will be working on
RnnrBrian (2:07:27 PM): sure, I'll post it in our forum
"Kathy" (2:07:37 PM): thanks!
"Kathy" (2:08:00 PM): at least the pieces are bigger than that puzzle we had earlier in the game
RnnrBrian (2:08:39 PM): Ugh, I know! I was actually supposed to do that one for my tribe, but then I was like HELLLLL NO! I don't even have a mouse for my computer, it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours
"Kathy" (2:09:00 PM): it was impossible
"Kathy" (2:09:07 PM): no one was able to do it
RnnrBrian (2:09:53 PM): I know. Oh, I'm talking to Dan, and he said his computer doesn't show color, so I don't think he's gonna be much help
"Kathy" (2:10:26 PM): i don't think we can do it for him either
RnnrBrian (2:11:58 PM): oh, I didn't know it was only one person per puzzle.
"Kathy" (2:12:45 PM): it says each person can only do one puzzle
RnnrBrian (2:12:57 PM): oh, nm, I just saw that.
"Kathy" (2:13:21 PM): maybe someone on the other tribe won't be able to do it either
RnnrBrian (2:13:46 PM): well, I know that Sherea may still be out of town. She was away all this week for thanksgiving.
"Kathy" (2:14:39 PM): that would help even it out
RnnrBrian (2:14:58 PM): mmhmm. Eliza just posted on the thread, and she's gonna do number 2
"Kathy" (2:15:11 PM): ok great
RnnrBrian (2:17:57 PM): okay...sigh, Dan's gonna go lay down, but he said he'll work on the challenge later. He's feeling pretty sick...and by sick I think hungover, lol
"Kathy" (2:18:12 PM): LOL
"Kathy" (2:18:24 PM): hopefully he'll feel better soon
"Kathy" (2:18:39 PM): can he do the challenge at all even without color
RnnrBrian (2:19:56 PM): I asked him and he said he wasn't sure...I don't think he even looked at the puzzles though. I'm sure he can though. It'd just be shades of grey
"Kathy" (2:20:26 PM): well we can only hope for the best
"Kathy" (2:21:15 PM): i wish we could do more than one
RnnrBrian (2:22:24 PM): I know...damn teamwork challenges, lol!
"Kathy" (2:22:55 PM):
RnnrBrian (2:23:41 PM): my puzzle's coming together though...I'm going kind of slow though, i don't have a mouse with the computer I'm using
"Kathy" (2:24:05 PM): i'm working on the border
"Kathy" (2:24:14 PM): it's not bad like that other one
"Kathy" (2:24:33 PM): we have plenty of time
RnnrBrian (2:26:55 PM): yeah, I'm just a little nervous cause I have to leave at like 5 to go to a party...but hopefully it won't take me that long to do this, haha
"Kathy" (2:27:42 PM): i will have to leave around 6 for about an hour.....but like you i hope to have it finished by then
"Kathy" (2:28:03 PM): or at least keep it up and forbid anyone to touch it
RnnrBrian (2:28:31 PM): lmao, and forbid my computer to crash or something
"Kathy" (2:28:45 PM): ugh!
RnnrBrian (2:51:15 PM): woo! I almost got the boarder done!
"Kathy" (2:51:25 PM): great job!
RnnrBrian (2:51:27 PM): how bout you?
"Kathy" (2:51:39 PM): i just got the last piece for the border
"Kathy" (2:51:50 PM): i'm working on the sky now ugh
RnnrBrian (2:52:20 PM): mine has a lot of grey in mine...it's annoying
"Kathy" (2:52:43 PM): yeah it's getting a lot harder now
RnnrBrian (3:20:55 PM): shit, I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to finish this in time
"Kathy" (3:21:14 PM): i doubt i will either
"Kathy" (3:21:23 PM): i'm still working on the sky
RnnrBrian (3:21:50 PM): I'm trying to organize my pieces by color...but it's not working, lol
"Kathy" (3:22:20 PM): i'm trying just one color and pulling all of them out
RnnrBrian (3:55:00 PM): ugh, I have to leave, sorry. I'll finish up the puzzle when I get back...I think I'm almost halfway done though.
RnnrBrian (3:55:10 PM): adios V! And good luck!
"Kathy" (3:55:36 PM): halfway done....that is great!
RnnrBrian (3:56:01 PM): cool beans. Maybe I'll see you tonight, if not, half a good night!
RnnrBrian (3:56:06 PM): adios
"Kathy" (3:56:10 PM): you have a good night
"Kathy" (3:56:27 PM): and it's been nice working the challenge with you
RnnrBrian (3:56:45 PM): I know! hopefully we'll see eachother again and actually be able to TALK, lol
"Kathy" (3:56:57 PM): that would be nice
"Kathy" (3:57:02 PM): have fun at the party
RnnrBrian (3:57:08 PM): lol, bye

RnnrBrian (7:57:51 PM): lol, I did! it was a going away party for a person I work for. I work at a liquor store, so of course there was a little alcohol involved...and now I'm a little tipsy (I'm lame and don't drink much) so hopefully that'll help me~ RnnrBrian (7:57:55 PM): lol "Kathy" (7:58:52 PM): lol it probably will help a bunch "Kathy" (7:59:01 PM): you should be good & relaxed "Kathy" (7:59:19 PM): i talked to ray (jeff) and he said we could help one another "Kathy" (7:59:30 PM): as long as we post a puzzle each RnnrBrian (7:59:55 PM): oh, cool! who all has posted?

"Kathy" (8:06:37 PM): yeah i remember "Kathy" (8:06:43 PM): we were on opposite sides "Kathy" (8:06:54 PM): i remember you were a tough competitor "Kathy" (8:07:01 PM): and was voted out way too early RnnrBrian (8:07:37 PM): lmao, gracias! That was actually the last game I've played....I took a year off and studied abroad in Mexico...and sigh, now I'm back in Wisconsin. "Kathy" (8:08:40 PM): that is so great about studying in Mexico RnnrBrian (8:09:45 PM): ugh, it was soooo fun! I wish I could have stayed there...but, you know how it goes. Gotta get back to reality sooner or later! "Kathy" (8:10:56 PM): that was such an amazing thing to do RnnrBrian (8:13:11 PM): mmhmm. And what have you been up to this past year? same old same old?

"Kathy" (8:16:21 PM): well one thing is he doesn't have a lot of time. but the other thing is he says he isn't good with puzzles RnnrBrian (8:18:01 PM): oh, gotcha. Yeah, when I talked to him yesterday he said he was working on a really big paper. So I'd imagine he doesn't have a lot of time, ya know? I can understand the puzzle thing though, but i'm more of a visual person, lol "Kathy" (8:18:50 PM): i can do the puzzle part. it's figuring out the name of it that kills me RnnrBrian (8:19:54 PM): lmao, as soon as I typed that I was like "um...wait until AFTER you finish the puzzle to tell everyone what a visual person you are" lol "Kathy" (8:20:11 PM): lol "Kathy" (8:20:33 PM): i think i am going to look at puzzle # 4 in case dan k can't do it RnnrBrian (8:21:46 PM): okay, cool.

"Kathy" (9:49:24 PM): when i was looking for mine i didn't see anything like that RnnrBrian (9:50:44 PM): gotcha.

It could be a government building though. Hmm "Kathy" (10:01:30 PM): i saw office buildings but it didn't exactly look like it "Kathy" (10:03:50 PM): look at images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cnu.daejeon.kr/AWA/America/Peru/Lima/WFAsam%2520Peru-Office%2520Building-01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cnu.daejeon.kr/AWA/America/ENGLISH-WFB%2520South%2520America-Peru.htm&usg=__G_xTmzfw896n94NVXpTBtpWN4Qk=&h=320&w=427&sz=41&hl=en&start=18&um=1&tbnid=bA9a8sd52sYqQM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlima%2Bbuilding%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff"Kathy" (10:04:02 PM): sorry "Kathy" (10:04:08 PM): but i don't think that is it RnnrBrian (10:08:05 PM): ooh, I think it may be the President palace...hold on, lemme find another picture of it to make sure "Kathy" (10:08:27 PM): ok thanks RnnrBrian (10:14:05 PM): ugh, nm, I don't think that's it. I'll keep looking though "Kathy" (10:14:40 PM): thanks! i looked & looked and just couldn't find anything RnnrBrian (10:15:20 PM): i know! nothing I see has big enough windows "Kathy" (10:15:45 PM): or that shape RnnrBrian (10:34:41 PM): okay...the thing I'm looking at right now is the Gold Museum...I think it could be it. It has the same shape at the top anyway RnnrBrian (10:35:20 PM): www.aitraveltours.com/images/photo26t.jpgRnnrBrian (10:35:32 PM): it's kinda small though, I'll try to find a bigger picture "Kathy" (10:38:04 PM): it's hard to tell "Kathy" (10:38:14 PM): i am going to have to quit "Kathy" (10:38:29 PM): i have to get up at 6:00 in the morning "Kathy" (10:39:02 PM): i got right much done on the puzzle but it's just too hard and time consuming to do RnnrBrian (10:39:53 PM): no worries, I totally gotcha. I'll keep searching for your picture though. And if I find it I'll PM ya about it. And I may work on Rudy's or Dan's puzzles depending on how much time I have RnnrBrian (10:40:00 PM): thanks for your help though! "Kathy" (10:41:12 PM): how about if i put it in photobucket and give you the link of what i have so far so you can get the general idea of what it is RnnrBrian (10:41:29 PM): oh, that would be great! "Kathy" (10:41:53 PM): ok give me a couple of minutes & i'll get it to you "Kathy" (10:52:50 PM): i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/Surviv9/Puzzle4.jpg"Kathy" (10:53:35 PM): if needed i can work on the puzzles tomorrow evening RnnrBrian (10:54:15 PM): okay, cool.

RnnrBrian (11:04:24 PM): Hola
"Rudy" (11:04:49 PM): whats up?
RnnrBrian (11:05:24 PM): not much, just chillin'. I'm helping Velva look for the name of her building right now, lol. and you?
"Rudy" (11:05:42 PM): trying this puzzle though I thought the challenge was over
RnnrBrian (11:06:28 PM): over?
"Rudy" (11:06:36 PM): I thought it ended at ten
RnnrBrian (11:06:58 PM): oh, gotcha. I think it means 10 monday...although I'm not sure, lemme check
RnnrBrian (11:08:23 PM): just checked, it says we have until Tuesday at 3 pm to do the challenge
"Rudy" (11:08:31 PM): ugh ok
"Rudy" (11:08:33 PM): I will keep trying
RnnrBrian (11:09:11 PM): gotcha. If you want some help, when I find Velva's building I can help you with yours...or else I can work on Dan's. Whatever you want me to do.
"Rudy" (11:10:11 PM): ok, sounds good, i will let you know
RnnrBrian (11:10:43 PM): cool. Yeah, the puzzles are damn hard! mine had a whole bunch of grey in it and it sucked
"Rudy" (11:16:23 PM): tell me about it, its frustraiting
RnnrBrian (11:32:12 PM): okay, I found Velvas. Do you want me to work on yours or Dans?
"Rudy" (11:32:42 PM): either one, I am making no headway
RnnrBrian (11:34:57 PM): okay, I guess I'll work on Dan's then.

"Robb" went mobile at 7:37:24 PM.
IMs will be sent to your buddy's mobile device as text messages. Learn more about Mobile IM.
"Robb" returned at 11:22:13 PM.
RnnrBrian (11:33:08 PM): Hey, just checking to see if you needed help on your puzzle
"Robb" (11:33:19 PM): no i dont need help
"Robb" (11:33:29 PM): i was flying back to school today so it was just bad timing
RnnrBrian (11:34:27 PM): oh, no worries, just wanted to know if you need any help. I'm gonna help Rudy with his then.
"Robb" (11:34:33 PM): ok
RnnrBrian (11:36:26 PM): isn't this challenge sucktacular? Mine really sucked, it was a whole bunch of grey and it took me a longass time
"Robb" (11:36:36 PM): lol yeah
RnnrBrian (11:42:49 PM): so how was your flight back?
"Robb" (11:43:32 PM): i actually ended up sitting next to one of my brothers totally randomly, so it was good
RnnrBrian (11:44:33 PM): heh, that's cool. He lives in Georgia too then?

RnnrBrian (8:10:40 PM): Hey you! just saw the message, how goes the puzzle? "Kathy" (8:11:18 PM): i posting a message to rudy now "Kathy" (8:11:24 PM): i'm RnnrBrian (8:12:02 PM): oh, cool! Ugh, i can't believe you did that one! I saw it and was like..."woah, waay too much black in there for me." lol "Kathy" (8:12:25 PM): i know.....took me forever "Kathy" (8:12:43 PM): i49.photobucket.com/albums/f284/Surviv9/Puzzle.jpg"Kathy" (8:13:12 PM): Lima Palacio RnnrBrian (8:13:36 PM): ooh! on the bright side it looks gorgeous! lol "Kathy" (8:14:47 PM): it really does doesn't it "Kathy" (8:15:01 PM): but that black drove me crazy "Kathy" (8:15:14 PM): it was almost as hard as that puzzle you did today RnnrBrian (8:16:42 PM): lol! like you I got through the blue KINDA okay...but when I got to the actual building I was like....shit, where do I even begin? Oooh, and I think if Rudy posts we might win! I haven't seen Sherea on the boards in awhile. "Kathy" (8:17:39 PM): i sent him a message on his mobile RnnrBrian (8:19:22 PM): awesome...to tell ya the truth I've been feeling kinda nervous about this challenge. I thought I might be in trouble if we lost....so in short, I'm glad it looks like we're gonna win. "Kathy" (8:20:12 PM): i was going to vote for whoever did the least on the challenge "Kathy" (8:20:19 PM): i would not have voted for you RnnrBrian (8:21:30 PM): well gracias amiga. I just didn't know what to expect coming into a new tribe like this...I was kinda like "damn, I'm a little screwed aren't i?" lol "Kathy" (8:22:16 PM): i was worried too for myself cause you never know what to expect especially this close to what i think would be a merge RnnrBrian (8:24:37 PM): Ugh, I know...well, just letting you know, I totally have your back. Heh, to be honest I don't really have any real alliances that moment. I have a friendship with Eliza...but it was kind of a just bonding through the suckiness that was San Antonio. We were usually the only two who did the challenges. "Kathy" (8:26:47 PM): i really don't have any alliances either. especially with the way we have been switched around so much. i had noticed that you & eliza did all the work. it would have drove me crazy. i haven't really talked to eliza yet except she sent me one pm about the challenge RnnrBrian (8:29:17 PM): yeah, me and her have usually communicated through PMs. She's from the UK, so her schedule hasn't really lined up right with mine usually since I'm a night owl. And yeah....it DID suck. Dan B. and Susie were kind of taking us for granted and just not participating in the challenges 'cause they figured that we'd pull their weight. Which worked out okay in the beginning...but in the end, not so much. "Kathy" (8:30:47 PM): i noticed susie rarely did a challenge and towards the end dan b wasn't doing them either RnnrBrian (8:33:09 PM): Yeah...Susie was being played by this girl named Vanessa (you may have heard of her, she's kinda famous like Donna is, lol) and she REFUSED to help on the challenges. She'd be online all the time but would refuse to help. RnnrBrian (8:34:15 PM): You guys have been doing pretty awesome in the challenges though, I must say. Stronger than Miraflores anyway, lol "Kathy" (8:35:15 PM): i have definitely heard of vanessa. i had no idea it was heard. she kept sending me game sites "Kathy" (8:35:37 PM): i've been very fortunate to have been with some strong competitors "Kathy" (8:37:18 PM): *her RnnrBrian (8:39:27 PM): yeah, agreed. I don't know abour Dan K., but I've played with Rudy before and he's really strong...and Robb was really strong when he was on our tribe in the beginning. And yeah, Vanessa always sent me game advertisements too...and also always pmed me to ask if she was still in the game *eyeroll* lol RnnrBrian (8:41:00 PM): we had some drama though at the first TC. The Dan B. guy was playing as an alias...and the rest of us found out and shit went down, lol. But so far that's the only drama I've really had in the game besides the challenges "Kathy" (8:44:27 PM): who was he? "Kathy" (8:44:41 PM): cause he told me this was his 1st game RnnrBrian (8:46:19 PM): His name was Charles....he's like 18 or 19 and from Texas. I've played with him in another game before...and he was an alias then as well "Kathy" (8:46:35 PM): i've played with him too lol "Kathy" (8:47:13 PM): he's crazy "Kathy" (8:47:28 PM): and can keep things stir up RnnrBrian (8:48:52 PM): yeah, I know! He ended up telling me who he was...and I told him I'd keep it a secret but in my head I was like "Um, Brian, he's dangerous!" So I ended up telling the girls about him. "Kathy" (8:53:29 PM): you never know what to expect from him "Kathy" (8:53:38 PM): he's a wild card RnnrBrian (8:54:08 PM): yeah. In the game I played with him he won. And he did it by pretty much doing exactly that, being a wildcard "Kathy" (8:57:03 PM): sometimes it pays off. but mostly i see him leave early RnnrBrian (8:58:29 PM): mmhmm. As for myself, I've never tried playing as an alias. I'm sure I'd be horrible at it though. My talking is WAY too distinctive. Er, or my typing, I guess, haha "Kathy" (8:59:58 PM): lol. the only time i have is when it is set up as a an alias game "Kathy" (9:00:09 PM): i would rather play myself "Kathy" (9:02:05 PM): i have had a few bad experiences with people who play alias "Kathy" (9:02:25 PM): so i sometimes have this fear people are not who they say they are RnnrBrian (9:04:11 PM): I know. I understand though that people who like to be evil masterminds don't want their reputations following them around so they like playing as aliases. Me, I'm too dumb to be a real mastermind, so my rep is squeaky clean for the most part, lol. "Kathy" (9:05:40 PM): LOL "Kathy" (9:06:09 PM): i know what you mean. i can only be me RnnrBrian (9:07:34 PM): I know! totally agree. I mean, I've tried to be evil, but my damn conscious always gets in the way. "Kathy" (9:09:33 PM): mine too. it's not worth it. i always feel so guilty afterwards "Kathy" (9:09:51 PM): so i try to play it differently and be honest RnnrBrian (9:11:19 PM): same. But unfortunately nice guys usually never finish first in this game *eye roll* "Kathy" (9:11:56 PM): i know! "Kathy" (9:13:25 PM): well i am going to call it a night. i was so sleepy today RnnrBrian (9:14:00 PM): mmmkay. Night chica! "Kathy" (9:14:22 PM): have a good night! "Kathy" (9:14:36 PM): and thanks for all your work on the challenge RnnrBrian (9:14:42 PM): you as well! "Kathy" (9:14:57 PM): "Kathy" signed off at 9:18:16 PM. |

"Dan K." (9:00:33 PM): i hope we can win
RnnrBrian (9:01:27 PM): I think we will! Kathy finished Rudy's puzzle so all he has to do is post it. And I'm sure the other tribe hasn't done that hot on the challenge. Or at least I hope.

RnnrBrian (9:06:00 PM): she's sleeping, which also sucks because it's hard to breath but i don't want to move her and wake her up, lol
"Dan K." (9:06:29 PM): awww cute
"Dan K." (9:08:18 PM): i loooove puppies
RnnrBrian (9:08:23 PM): lol, not when I'm dying! Okay, I'm not dying, I like to exagerate. I'm uncomfortable though

"Robb" (11:10:49 PM): waz up gary
RnnrBrian (11:12:15 PM): hola! Nothing much at the moment...I'm taking some notes for a paper and I'm trying to keep from freezing to death in my room, lol. And you?
"Robb" (11:12:30 PM): lol nice
RnnrBrian (11:12:39 PM): oh, and I think we won the challenge! Just a feeling.
"Robb" (11:12:49 PM): hopefully
"Robb" (11:12:58 PM): i don't think sherea has been on in like, a week
"Robb" (11:13:01 PM): so i think we win lol
RnnrBrian (11:13:50 PM): Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. She was out of town all last week for thanksgiving, but I dunno what's up with her this week.
"Robb" (11:14:13 PM): well that would certainly make life easier
RnnrBrian (11:14:49 PM): mmhmm. To be honest I was a little nervous about this IC, just because of the tribe switch and all. So I hope we win.
"Robb" (11:15:15 PM): i was too lol
"Robb" (11:16:20 PM): which is why i wanted to talk to you - what's the state of san antonio as far as unity and loyalty
RnnrBrian (11:17:40 PM): Honestly, I'm still for a united San Antonio...I think we HAVE to be. I don't think an original Miraflores has been voted out YET. I'm not sure what Eliza's plans are though...I haven't been able to talk to her since the switch. I sent her a pm, but she didn't respond.
RnnrBrian (11:17:48 PM): I dunno, what do you think?
"Robb" (11:18:16 PM): well i was hoping that we would get back together...because otherwise miraflores is probably gonna run away with this thing
"Robb" (11:18:41 PM): unless we can sway kathy/rudy?
RnnrBrian (11:18:53 PM): I do know that when we were on San Antonio Eliza had mentioned to me that she'd like to stick with you me and Sherea. And yeah, I agree about that. Although I do know that the three women on Miraflores don't get along.
"Robb" (11:19:17 PM): oh really - thats juicy info lol
RnnrBrian (11:19:33 PM): Hmmm, I think we could probably sway Kathy if we tried. I talked to her and she said she didn't really have any alliances. She could be lying to me though.
RnnrBrian (11:20:21 PM): well, as far as I know, Tina doesn't get along with Kathy or Amber. I'm not sure if Kathy and Amber get along though...I'm assuming they probably do, Kathy seems like the kind of girl who gets along with anyone, ya know?
RnnrBrian (11:20:26 PM): meh, just my opinion
"Robb" (11:20:52 PM): right
"Robb" (11:21:10 PM): well i would guess that sherea would probably be gone after this TC
RnnrBrian (11:21:29 PM): yeah. which sucks balls.
"Robb" (11:21:32 PM): right
"Robb" (11:21:55 PM): so if you, me, and eliza stick together...we'd need to bring in 2-3 more people
RnnrBrian (11:23:04 PM): mmhmm. Well....I've been talking a lot to Dan K. lately. We have the Mexico thing in common. So I guess I could continue to build that relationship. I doubt people have aproached him 'cause he seems kind of inactive, but he's still a free vote.
"Robb" (11:23:50 PM): right
"Robb" (11:24:04 PM): and since he's from the loser tribe...he probably doesnt have many other choices
RnnrBrian (11:25:51 PM): mmhmm, agreed. As far as other people...I dunno. I'd say maybe we could work on Kathy....Rudy seems more of a closed book to me, I like him though. And I don't know the tribal dynamics on Miraflores except that Amber and Tina are probably not getting along, so maybe we could talk Tina into flopping once we hit the merge.
RnnrBrian (11:25:58 PM): I dunno, it's a start.
"Robb" (11:26:48 PM): right
"Robb" (11:27:26 PM): we can just feel a couple different people out...but as long as we're all on the same page - i like our chances
RnnrBrian (11:28:28 PM): Agreed. We just need to talk to Eliza though...like I said I don't know where her head's at for sure. But I'd be totally down with trying to get us 3 in the final 3 if that what you guys would like.
"Robb" (11:30:49 PM): i'm 100% on board
RnnrBrian (11:32:30 PM): Cool. Lol, oh, in other news, you missed a bunch of drama at the old San Antonion once you left! Sorry I didn't talk to you about this before, I just wasn't sure where you stood because we'd all been seperated for awhile
"Robb" (11:32:52 PM): right no worries lol
"Robb" (11:32:55 PM): what happened
RnnrBrian (11:34:40 PM): Well, Dan B. got found out as an alias....he wasn't a retired history teacher...he was an 18 or 19 year old from Texas. And drama went down at the first tc, Eliza almost got voted out. And Susie was a douche during every round and tried to sabotage the immunity challenges, lol. lol, fun times on tribe Crazy, lol
"Robb" (11:34:59 PM): wow damn
"Robb" (11:35:06 PM): how did eliza almost get voted out?
RnnrBrian (11:36:29 PM): Well, Dan had told me about his alias (I knew him from a previous game) and I told him I wouldn't tell anyone...but I also know that in real life he's a dangerous player and I don't trust him at all, lol, so I told Eliza, and then Sherea when she rejoined SA....
RnnrBrian (11:37:51 PM): So when we lost the IC Eliza started spearheading the vote to go to Dan because he was kind of plotting to jump ship in a switch (he was telling me all this and I was telling it all to the girls). Dan found out about it and tried to get Eliza out. He got Susie with him and I think Sherea may have been the swing vote in it...but Dan ended up going.
"Robb" (11:38:50 PM): yikes
"Robb" (11:38:56 PM): thats out of control lol
RnnrBrian (11:39:50 PM): I know...and the lamest thing was that at the first TC freaking SUSIE got off scott free, lol
RnnrBrian (11:40:50 PM): Anyway, how have things been over here?
"Robb" (11:42:32 PM): pretty uneventful, since we never had a TC
"Robb" (11:42:50 PM): kathy's been friendly, rudy's been tough to talk to
"Robb" (11:43:09 PM): but we never had any in-depth strategy talks
RnnrBrian (11:44:30 PM): Hmm. That definately makes me think they're looking to realign themselves with the other Miraflores people.
"Robb" (11:46:06 PM): well we can only hope lol - i wouldnt be surprised if kathy would be willing to come over
"Robb" (11:46:14 PM): rudy's a big question mark for me though
RnnrBrian (11:47:22 PM): I know. He's VERY hard to talk to. I mean, not just about strategy, about anything! I always get one-word answers from him, if that.
"Robb" (11:49:00 PM): yeah
"Robb" (11:49:12 PM): supposedly he's been busy...but is that gonna chance?
"Robb" (11:49:19 PM): change*
RnnrBrian (11:50:11 PM): I'm not sure...I've actually played a game with Rudy a long time ago and he wasn't talkative then either. I think it's just his personality.
"Robb" (11:52:26 PM): ah
RnnrBrian (12:23:12 AM): okay, I'm gonna hit the hay pretty soon. But I'll send off a PM to Eliza so she knows what's up.
"Robb" (12:23:25 AM): all right
"Robb" (12:23:26 AM): good talk
RnnrBrian (12:24:38 AM): I know! first strategic talk I've had in awhile! Much better than sitting in a tribe with no one to talk to except....Susie. ugh.
"Robb" (12:24:44 AM): lol
RnnrBrian (12:38:24 AM): okay, I'm off to bed. Night!
"Robb" (12:38:33 AM): all right later

RnnrBrian (8:36:28 PM): Hey, we woon! woo!
"Dan K." (8:36:40 PM): hey, congrats!
"Dan K." (8:36:45 PM): didnt see you come online
RnnrBrian (8:37:17 PM): ha, I'm stealthy like that, lol.
"Dan K." (8:37:43 PM): like a ninja!
"Dan K." (8:37:54 PM): no clue why i know ninjas are stealthy haha
RnnrBrian (8:38:42 PM): heh. I'm too klutzy to be a ninja anyway.
"Dan K." (8:39:06 PM): lol
RnnrBrian (8:41:19 PM): I'm really glad we won. I was kinda nervous about this challenge to be honest. i didn't wanna lose 'cause I'm the new guy on the tribe, ya know?
"Dan K." (8:43:18 PM): so how was your day?
RnnrBrian (8:44:07 PM): It was....pretty shitty, actually, haha. I spent all day in class...and I had a night class today so it made it extra long. And you?
"Dan K." (8:44:27 PM): it was fun, kind of weird too but fun
RnnrBrian (8:45:16 PM): why the weirdness?
"Dan K." (8:52:51 PM): sorry spaced out
"Dan K." (8:53:50 PM): so i was in my job doing my thing when they started talking about the party on fridat and they started talking about things i didn't remember so i was taken by surprise and then on a free period we were out hanging out in the patio and we started playing dares
"Dan K." (8:55:03 PM): so this girl dared my friend mario to kiss with another guy for 500 and he looked at me and was like "only with alex" and im like "whaaaaat?!" and he is like "dude its 500" and im like "500 each" and the girl was like "fine" so we did it but it was totally weird
RnnrBrian (8:56:28 PM): lmao...what? she payed you 500 each? lol, where does she have that money?
"Dan K." (8:56:43 PM): no clue
"Dan K." (8:56:53 PM): but she did and i won the easiest 500 even though it was embarrasing haha
RnnrBrian (8:58:53 PM): heh. How long did you have to do it? Like really quick or for a few seconds? Because really quick wouldn't be AS embarrasing.
"Dan K." (8:59:07 PM): nah, for a few seconds
"Dan K." (8:59:39 PM): but it was a guy and its not like i hadnt kissed a guy before but mario is like not like that at all
"Dan K." (8:59:57 PM): he is like rocker skater, dude so it was weird because he has a piercing and thats disgusting
"Dan K." (9:00:06 PM): oh and the girl i like was there so it was worst haha
RnnrBrian (9:02:27 PM): oh man, I'd be embarrassed as well. And agreed, piercings are a turn-off
"Dan K." (9:03:37 PM): yeah, mario is a cool guy though and he was all like "easiest 500"
RnnrBrian (9:04:19 PM): And at least you now have party money for the weekend!
"Dan K." (9:04:39 PM): haha yeah
"Dan K." (9:04:49 PM): i guess the bad part was paola was watching
RnnrBrian (9:05:56 PM): ha. Well if she likes you back she probably doesn't care.
"Dan K." (9:06:05 PM): hope so
"Dan K." (9:07:12 PM): so hows your love life haha
RnnrBrian (9:09:21 PM): Heh, wellllll, to be perfectly honest right now my love life is pretty much non-existant. I'm TRYING though, don't get me wrong! But sometimes I can be a little shy so it's harder, I guess. I've got crushes, but nothing major.
"Dan K." (9:09:34 PM): awww shys not cool
RnnrBrian (9:10:53 PM): lol, ouch!
"Dan K." (9:11:57 PM): no offense but i mean it should be harder
RnnrBrian (9:15:16 PM): Oh, got ya, lol. I was like "umm....okay." heh. It's pretty much my own fault though, I don't go out to the bars much and stuff like that.
"Dan K." (9:15:51 PM): you should! its fun
RnnrBrian (9:17:25 PM): Lol, no duh! I did it all the time when I lived in Guadalajara...I'm not sure why it's different here, but it is. People aren't as fun, I guess. People in Mexico always seemed more open...now I'm living in the middle of nowhere and it's lame.
"Dan K." (9:18:30 PM): yeah we are open haha
"Dan K." (9:18:31 PM): and slutty
RnnrBrian (9:21:37 PM): Lol! Slutty ain't a bad thing. I actually miss that, all the flirting. It's different in the states. Just not considered polite, blah. I think it's healthy, myself.
"Dan K." (9:21:52 PM): it really is seriously
"Dan K." (9:26:33 PM): guadalajara is pretty judgamental though
RnnrBrian (9:28:08 PM): I know. VERY fresa. I didn't really get along with other students at my college 'cause they were pretty stuckup...I liked people I met at the bars though. But yeah, they think their shit don't stink, lol
"Dan K." (9:28:40 PM): omg you know the term fresa, oh my fucking god you are like the only person that knows it
RnnrBrian (9:30:26 PM): LOL! Fresa y naco. I hated the fresas but was also scared of the nacos so I couldn't fit in anywhere!
"Dan K." (9:30:42 PM): omg you cant hate fresas, we fucking rock
"Dan K." (9:31:04 PM): im really really really fresa, its better than being naco haha
RnnrBrian (9:33:08 PM): lol, so true. Less grease in your hair and you actually shower. Okay, I don't HATE fresas, but at least in Guad they always were really stuckup. It may have been just 'cause I was American though, who knows?
"Dan K." (9:33:43 PM): maybe, but i mean in guad people are really judgamental like they treat gay people bad or black people or different people so maybe thats why
RnnrBrian (9:37:03 PM): mmmhmm. But then again they don't like the Mexico City people either. Some rivalry going on that I never really understood, you probably understand it better than me, lol
"Dan K." (9:37:27 PM): haha yeah
"Dan K." (9:37:29 PM): guad sucks
RnnrBrian (9:39:51 PM): Lol, hey now, Guad is fun! I liked it anyway. Of course I'd probably learn to like Mexico City if I'd lived there a while. The only thing is that I like running, and I'd feel like I'd be polluting myself by running in the parks at DF, lol
"Dan K." (9:41:21 PM): haha you will
"Dan K." (9:44:19 PM): but like seriously guada is sooooo not cool, i mean they are all a bunch of "rednecks"
RnnrBrian (9:45:41 PM): lol, they say that about you guys!
"Dan K." (9:46:13 PM): omg we so not rednecks
"Dan K." (9:46:17 PM): they have no class
"Dan K." (9:46:19 PM): and they are nasty
"Dan K." (9:46:22 PM): and abusive and jusging
"Dan K." (9:46:28 PM): they might have called us city people
RnnrBrian (9:49:37 PM): lol, I never heard that. The things I DID hear were pretty mean though. Stuff about...meh, nevermind, just mean crap.
"Dan K." (9:49:47 PM): no tell me
"Dan K." (9:49:49 PM): im curious
RnnrBrian (9:52:12 PM): well...okay, they said....well, they talked about you guys having bad genes? Like....Guadalajara had more spanish blood or whatever, while DF was more native blood. Whatever, racist stuff, ya know? And, hmm, hold on, lemme think of what else.
RnnrBrian (9:52:52 PM): *Spain blood
RnnrBrian (9:53:51 PM): um, they also had a name for you guys, but I don't remember what it was. Chi-somethings? meh, I don't remember. Chilangos? maybe that was it
"Dan K." (9:57:06 PM): haha chilangos <3
"Dan K." (9:57:11 PM): i love that name
RnnrBrian (9:57:26 PM): yeah. I heard that some think it's a bad name though.
"Dan K." (9:58:26 PM): they say it offensivley but we love it
RnnrBrian (9:59:27 PM): What do you guys call them?
"Dan K." (9:59:35 PM): hm, i dont know
"Dan K." (9:59:42 PM): i call them rancheros haha
"Dan K." (9:59:44 PM): but they do have a name
"Dan K." (9:59:46 PM): regios?
RnnrBrian (10:00:56 PM): tapitios, maybe?
RnnrBrian (10:01:16 PM): I know they call themselves that anyway
"Dan K." (10:02:12 PM): yeah tapatios
"Dan K." (10:02:14 PM): haha so funny

"Dan K." signed on at 10:03:07 PM.
"Dan K." (10:03:55 PM): theres this really cheesy dance called "jarabe tapatio" its so lame!
RnnrBrian (10:05:49 PM): heh, here's a funny story about Guad. On one of my traveling trips we went to Guanajuato and we were at this like mariachi thing, me and my friends. So the singers were like "Yell if you're from Michuacan!" "Yell if you're from mexico city!" and stuff like that....
"Dan K." (10:06:02 PM): yeah
RnnrBrian (10:06:48 PM): now, we didn't know that the rest of mexico doesn't really like Jalisco, lol. So when they yelled out "Yell if you're from jalisco!" we went "woo!" and got booed by the crowd. It was pretty embarassing, lol
"Dan K." (10:07:32 PM): hahaha
"Dan K." (10:07:34 PM): jalisco
"Dan K." (10:09:31 PM): i dont mind them
"Dan K." (10:12:18 PM): just guada = eww
RnnrBrian (10:16:23 PM): lol, gotcha. I think if I ever went back though I'd go back to Guad though. Either there or Monterrey, since I've never been there.
"Dan K." (10:17:18 PM): monterrey is fun
"Dan K." (10:17:22 PM): they speak very funny there
"Dan K." (10:18:28 PM): i have a friend from lean
"Dan K." (10:18:30 PM): leon
"Dan K." (10:18:32 PM): she is the best
RnnrBrian (10:19:54 PM): cool. Yeah, my Spanish when I speak it has the Guadalajara accent in it...I call it the "whine" 'cause it sometimes sounds like I'm whining. It was hard though when I went to other places like Mexico City and Cancun though, 'cause I had a hard time understanding people
"Dan K." (10:20:18 PM): omg mexico city we have the most standard accent nothing fancy
RnnrBrian (10:21:46 PM): I know! And that's what made me feel stupid when I went there, 'cause I SHOULD have been able to understand it but I was so used to, like, hearing the words in a whining or singing tone that I couldn't deal with it, lol
"Dan K." (10:22:04 PM): ha
"Dan K." (10:26:00 PM): if you can shake off the guada accent youll be good
RnnrBrian (10:27:39 PM): actually, I kinda like it! It makes me sound exotic, lol! When I got back to the states I worked in a canning factory over the summer as a translator and the people I worked with there (all from Texas and northern Mexico) liked my accent. And I learned to understand theres, so it's all good, lol.
"Dan K." (10:28:12 PM): lol
RnnrBrian (10:31:08 PM): Have you ever traveled to the US?
"Dan K." (10:32:16 PM): yeah, to san an and florida
RnnrBrian (10:33:15 PM): Oh very cool. I've never been to san an....or Texas, for that matter, lol, but I've been to florida and loved it.
"Dan K." (10:34:30 PM): san an <3
RnnrBrian (10:35:02 PM): I've heard it's very pretty there. My parents have been there, but I've never been. It's too damn far away! lol
"Dan K." (10:35:28 PM): i love it cause i can go shopping
RnnrBrian (10:40:54 PM): is stuff cheaper there?
"Dan K." (10:41:06 PM): yeah, a lot
"Dan K." (10:41:07 PM): love it
RnnrBrian (10:43:40 PM): i'd love to live down there. It's warm all the time...sigh. Instead I'm stuck inf fucking Wisconsin slipping on ice on my way to school, lol
"Dan K." (10:44:11 PM): awww that sucks for you. it never snows here but i wanna see the snow
"Dan K." (10:52:33 PM): oh snap gtg
"Dan K." (10:52:37 PM): i need my beauty sleep

RnnrBrian (8:45:48 PM): Hey you! Did you see the challenge results?
"Kathy" (8:46:13 PM): Yay! We won! I was so excited
"Kathy" (8:46:34 PM): and we won big too
RnnrBrian (8:47:23 PM): I know! I was pretty shocked...I can't believe three people didn't show for them...I thought they'd have more than that because they seem to have a lot of posts in their forum.
"Kathy" (8:48:25 PM): that's what i thought. the only one who had not posted was sherea and that's why i was so anxious for rudy to get that last puzzle in
"Kathy" (8:49:08 PM): actually we didn't even have to do those last 2 puzzles but i would rather be safe than sorry
RnnrBrian (8:50:21 PM): lol, ugh, don't make me think about that...but agreed, I'd rather finish a challenge than quit if I knew I was ahead. I wonder who's gonna end up leaving over there? I'd say Sherea, but that's just a guess
"Kathy" (8:52:40 PM): that's who i was thinking since she hasn't been around. but they could be thinking merge is close and get rid of a threat. it's hard to know
RnnrBrian (8:54:50 PM): Yeah, true. And plus I don't think Amber and Tina get along that well, so there's that factor as well.
"Kathy" (8:55:12 PM): they always have seemed to be rivals in a game
"Kathy" (8:55:29 PM): one of them could go
"Kathy" (8:55:48 PM): i think it will be very interesting to see how this vote goes
RnnrBrian (8:59:50 PM): I know...my money's still on Sherea though. Which sucks 'cause I thought she was pretty cool.
"Kathy" (9:02:03 PM): she really is a sweet girl and i always enjoyed chatting with her. in a small way i hated winning the challenge because i felt it would be her voted off. but regardless i still didn't want to lose & go to tc
RnnrBrian (9:03:41 PM): Yeah, same here. I'm not a challenge thrower, and usually it never works out for me if I DO attempt to throw something either. Things always change and backfire, lol
"Kathy" (9:06:11 PM): it just goes against my nature. once i was talked into doing it and felt so horrible afterwards i will never do it again. it's not worth it
RnnrBrian (9:10:29 PM): mmmhmm, agreed. LOL, I seem to always be agreeing with everything you say. We're like samers! Or maybe just great minds think alike.
"Kathy" (9:10:47 PM): LOL. i agree!
"Kathy" (9:11:08 PM): we did great working on that challenge together
"Kathy" (9:11:30 PM): and i think we do feel the same way about how to play the game
RnnrBrian (9:13:54 PM): I know...um, I don't know if you have other obligations or alliances, but I'd be fine with sharing information or stuff that I've heard if you'd be okay with that as well. Just something to think about, you don't have to agree right now or anything like that.
"Kathy" (9:16:38 PM): that sounds great with me. i really haven't made any alliances with all the switching going on. i was just waiting to see how things would turn out. but i feel like i can trust you and we work really well together and agree on the same things
RnnrBrian (9:19:36 PM): Agreed. And same with me on alliances. The only kind of agreement I have is with Eliza...but it's not so much an agreement because we've never had a spoken agreement or anything like that. I just wouldn't feel comfortable voting for her after all the stuff that we went through on San Antonio, ya know?
"Kathy" (9:22:25 PM): i know what you mean. i feel sort of the same way about rudy just because we have been together since day 1 and i wouldn't feel right voting him
RnnrBrian (9:29:38 PM): gotcha. Yeah, other than that, everyone's been pretty closed mouthed when I've been talking to them over here, so I don't have any info NOW to let ya know about. You're pretty much the only one I've been talking strategy to. With the rest it's playing the "getting-to-know-you" game
"Kathy" (9:31:37 PM): yeah robb & dan & i don't talk strategy at all. we only talk about the challenges. and i only talked a little to eliza on the board
"Kathy" (9:32:04 PM): and rudy has been really busy with real life lately
"Kathy" (9:32:46 PM): but then i haven't been to tribal council and that's when you get to really talk about things
RnnrBrian (9:33:59 PM): Heh, so true!
"Kathy" (9:42:51 PM): oh i'm catching up on my confessional. i got behind with all those puzzles we did lol
RnnrBrian (9:46:38 PM): lol, I know, I need to write one tonight. I've just written one earlier this round that was basically like "omg, I got switched, I'm gonna diiiiiie!"
RnnrBrian (9:46:48 PM): lol, this next one will be a little more positive
"Kathy" (9:49:32 PM): LOL
"Kathy" (9:49:48 PM): just so you get something in there that should count
"Kathy" (9:53:50 PM): we will be getting a few days off from the game
RnnrBrian (9:54:28 PM): oh? How do you know?
"Kathy" (9:55:04 PM): i mean until tribal council is over
"Kathy" (9:55:14 PM): a couple of days anyway
RnnrBrian (9:58:15 PM): mmhmm. Time for me to start actually working on some of my end-of-the-semester papers and projects, lol
RnnrBrian (9:58:24 PM): I've been doing some slacking in that department
"Kathy" (10:00:09 PM): good luck with them! maybe it won't be so bad once you get started. i need to call it a night too
RnnrBrian (10:01:50 PM): mmkay, off to bed then? adios!
"Kathy" (10:03:00 PM): good night! it's been great chatting with you! and i'm glad we will be working together in this game
RnnrBrian (10:03:25 PM): mmhmm. I'll pm ya if I hear anything important
"Kathy" (10:03:40 PM): thanks! and i'll do the same
"Kathy" (10:03:47 PM): i'll talk to you later
RnnrBrian (10:03:54 PM): mmkay, night

"Rudy" (9:17:06 PM): Hey man
RnnrBrian (9:17:53 PM): Hola! Hey, did you check the challenge results? We woooon!
"Rudy" (9:18:30 PM): I did
RnnrBrian (9:20:25 PM): But like a buttload too! I can't believe 3 of them didn't even try the challenge...I thought they were gonna be stronger than that!
"Rudy" (9:20:47 PM): lol but thats good for us right?
"Rudy" (9:20:50 PM):
RnnrBrian (9:22:23 PM): Definately. Who do you think's gonna go from over there? My bets pretty much on Sherea. Which sucks 'cause I always thought she was..
RnnrBrian (9:22:28 PM): fun, but what can ya do?
"Rudy" (9:22:37 PM): the way I look at it, one more down..
RnnrBrian (9:26:43 PM): heh, so true. I'm kinda nervous that there's gonna be a merge soon. I can't handle all that switching and adjusting...I usually get..
RnnrBrian (9:26:48 PM): lost in the comotion
"Rudy" (9:27:05 PM): yeah, but you have to adjust. I learned that lesson a long time ago the hard way
RnnrBrian (9:31:43 PM): lol, yeah, I know. Oh hey, here's something interesting for ya (but you might already know this). You know Dan B. who got voted out?
"Rudy" (9:31:57 PM): uh huh
RnnrBrian (9:34:27 PM): well, he was actually an alias....he was Charles. Or you may also know him as Donnie.
"Rudy" (9:34:40 PM):
RnnrBrian (9:34:46 PM): i know!
"Rudy" (9:34:47 PM): yeah I know him
RnnrBrian (9:35:09 PM): woah, is that a mad face?
"Rudy" (9:35:18 PM): we have a history lol
RnnrBrian (9:38:23 PM): yeah... same. He wanted to jump ship and team up with Keith.
"Rudy" (9:38:42 PM): that does not suprise me in the least
RnnrBrian (9:41:02 PM): Yeah...he was pretty mad he got voted out. But he was just too dangerous, ya know? he was stirring up shit on our tribe.
"Rudy" (9:41:31 PM): hell, I completely understand. He is way too dangerous to keep around
RnnrBrian (9:44:38 PM): no kidding. Although Susie was also a pain too...She was Vanessa, you've probably heard of her...she's kinda famous for being dumb
RnnrBrian (9:44:38 PM): ha
"Rudy" (9:44:56 PM): oh God Vanessa
"Rudy" (9:45:05 PM): I have never played with her, but I have heard of her
RnnrBrian (9:47:32 PM): Yeah. She refused to help out in the challenges, and even tried to sabotage two. Crazy ho, lol
"Rudy" (9:47:48 PM): lol yeah sounds like her
"Rudy" (9:52:29 PM): Hey, I have been meaning to run something by you
"Rudy" (9:52:48 PM): what do you think of the idea of you and I teaming up?
RnnrBrian (9:56:55 PM): I would be totally okay with that. I don't really have any promises to anyone else, so that'd be cool. I have a sort of information..
RnnrBrian (9:57:02 PM): sharing agreement with Velva, but that's it.
"Rudy" (9:57:23 PM): I am really good with Velva, so that works for me too
RnnrBrian (10:00:18 PM): cool beans. As far as strategy...I dunno. I think it may come down to tribe vs. tribe at the merge. You know Donna, she likes those..
RnnrBrian (10:00:24 PM): united front things, lol
"Rudy" (10:05:39 PM): I think we need to get rid of Donna sooner rather than later
RnnrBrian (10:08:23 PM): I totally agree. She's so strong, ya know? And the newbies flock to her like pidgeons for some reason...okay, when I was a newbie...
RnnrBrian (10:08:28 PM): I did the same, but still! lol
"Rudy" (10:08:47 PM): the question is, do we take her out before the merge or not?
RnnrBrian (10:09:50 PM): Well, we can't really take her out before the merge since she's not on our tribe. But if there's a tribe switch and we have the...
RnnrBrian (10:09:58 PM): right people...yeah, that'd be smart
"Rudy" (10:10:02 PM): yeah, thats what I am getting at
RnnrBrian (10:10:06 PM): brb
"Rudy" (10:10:13 PM): I have to go actually
"Rudy" (10:10:16 PM): but I will talk to you later
RnnrBrian (10:16:35 PM): mmkay, adios.
"Rudy" returned at 12:06:19 AM.
