SurvivorGracie: hey there
AML6349: Hey!
SurvivorGracie: how are ya doing?
AML6349: Good, you?
SurvivorGracie: pretty good
SurvivorGracie: busy doing laundry
AML6349: Ugh, fun fun. I'm so backed up on laundry, it's crazy - it's hard when you don't have your own washer & dryer.
SurvivorGracie: we're lucky to have our own washer and dryer
AML6349: Lucky you!
SurvivorGracie: lol .. its fun to share them
SurvivorGracie: my roommate and I are ALWAYS doing laudnry
AML6349: Ours cost $1.25 per wash & dry... so $2.50 for 1 load.
SurvivorGracie: eeek
AML6349: That's what I'm looking forward to the most about getting our own home - our own washer & dryer that I don't need quarters to run - and a dishwasher besides me.
SurvivorGracie: definitely!
SurvivorGracie: I love having them right here
SurvivorGracie: lol .. and I get even lazier
SurvivorGracie: now I want a laundry shoot from upstairs to the basement
SurvivorGracie: I finally did the challenge ...
SurvivorGracie: have you done yours?
AML6349: Yes
SurvivorGracie: yay!
SurvivorGracie: mine is dorky
SurvivorGracie: wonder what happens if two people suggest the same name
AML6349: What is your name?
AML6349: Probably first come first serve.
SurvivorGracie: ah .. that makes sense
SurvivorGracie: I suggested Venus
SurvivorGracie: with colors red and white for red for love and white for purity
AML6349: I like it!
SurvivorGracie: I put in it that the Patron Singer is Paul Anka
AML6349: haha, cute.
AML6349: I suggested Lupercalia, with the colors of Pink, Red & Black
SurvivorGracie: ooh .. I like that
AML6349: Roman Feast of Lupercalia - This ancient pagan fertility celebration, which honored Juno, queen of the Roman gods and goddesses and goddess of women and marriage, was held on February 14, the day before the feast began. During festival time, women would write love letters, also known as billets, and leave them in a large urn. The men of Rome would then draw a note from the urn and ardently pursue the woman who wrote the message they had chosen. (Apparently, the custom of lottery drawings to select valentines continued into the 18th century, coming to an end when people decided they'd rather choose -- sight seen! -- their valentines.
SurvivorGracie: LOL
AML6349: I saw the whole urn/Survivor connection.
SurvivorGracie: definitely .. I like that
SurvivorGracie: this will be a good competition
AML6349: Do you think all of the ladies should pick one of the ladies' names and all vote for it?
SurvivorGracie: yes!
SurvivorGracie: I just don't want Ryan to win
AML6349: I was thinking, just to keep us safe, we should pick the person who had the most past votes.
SurvivorGracie: good idea
SurvivorGracie: Jenne?
SurvivorGracie: I can't remember who has past votes
AML6349: If the guys, or girls, get the majority - we have no control over that... but if it comes down to a tie, past votes might come into play.
AML6349: Yes, I think so - she got at least 2, right? Maybe more.
SurvivorGracie: yeah .. Kelley and Lisa voted her at the first tc
SurvivorGracie: Kelley has votes too
SurvivorGracie: she has maybe 3 votes
SurvivorGracie: Steph voted Kelley when she was voted out
SurvivorGracie: Ashlee voted Kelley
SurvivorGracie: eek .. I think both Kelley and Jenne have 2 votes each
AML6349: I guess we could ask them.
SurvivorGracie: yeah
SurvivorGracie: personally . .I just want Ryan to lose
SurvivorGracie: so we can send him home
AML6349: Me too.
SurvivorGracie: I no likey him
SurvivorGracie: from what it sounds like he's trying to work some girls
AML6349: He tried me - let me see if I can find what he said.
AML6349: ryansurvivor1984: i know that it doesn't help you much because you girls have the numbers but I think my team is going to ostracize me so if there is anything i can do to help don't be afraid to ask
AML6349: WHATEVER!
SurvivorGracie: Double that!
AML6349: That even required caps.
SurvivorGracie: whatever dude
SurvivorGracie: is that like the first time he's talked with you?
AML6349: Oh, SURE, jump on board! You had no intentions of me even staying around, you had a big ole boner over tribe T&B sticking around until the end... but SUUUURE, I'll work with you. *roll eyes* No thanks, I'll be faithful to those who have been faithful to me.
SurvivorGracie: heck yeah ....
SurvivorGracie: lol .. and why would someone hook up when he even says that his tribe wants him out
AML6349: His tribe wants him out for a reason - we don't want him, he's damaged goods.
SurvivorGracie: exactly!
SurvivorGracie: the sooner he goes home .. the better off we'll all be
AML6349: YepYep.
SurvivorGracie:
AML6349: I wonder if he'll be jury or not... if there's a regular 7 person jury, then no. But who knows - they might have a 9 person jury.
SurvivorGracie: yeah ... honestly .. I'm hoping for a 7-person ..
SurvivorGracie: if I'm on jury .. I don't want to be there with him
AML6349: Me either.
AML6349: I took Shanley to the mall today, to the play area - and she went nuts.
SurvivorGracie: aw ... that's so much fun
SurvivorGracie: are there lots of kids there for her to play with?
AML6349: Tons - there was at least 20 - 30 kids at the time.
SurvivorGracie: what's cool too .. is that at that age they just play together
AML6349: What's funny is that not even 2 months ago, I couldn't put her down without her clinging to me and crying. Now she's a wild woman, running away before I can even get her shoes off.
SurvivorGracie: lol .. that's so neat
SurvivorGracie: brb .. laundry
AML6349: kk
SurvivorGracie: back
AML6349: Wb!
SurvivorGracie: why can't laundry do itself?
AML6349: I wish!
AML6349: I'd pay $5 a load if it would wash, dry and put itself awya.
AML6349: away*
SurvivorGracie: lol .. me too!
AML6349: Any plans for tonight?
SurvivorGracie: nah .. just more laundry
SurvivorGracie: I'm going on vacation in another month .. so I want to wash the stuff I want to take
AML6349: Cool! Where to?
SurvivorGracie: Florida
SurvivorGracie: someplace WARM
AML6349: Sweet - I'm jealous! Going to visit friends or family, or just relax? Going to see The Mouse? Sorry I'm so nosey.
SurvivorGracie: the MOUSE
SurvivorGracie: I love the MOUSE
AML6349: That's sooo cool - I haven't been there since 1993. I can't wait to take Shanley one day.
AML6349: Once she's old enough to *really* enjoy it - like 4+, we'll go.
SurvivorGracie: you have to go!
SurvivorGracie: it's so much fun
AML6349: Afk a sec, trying to make Shanley something small to eat.
SurvivorGracie is away at 5:50:55 PM.

JenneUCSC: i'm voting for yours!
AML6349: Thanks! Has there been any tribe discussion on who we're voting for? I want to make sure a woman wins.
JenneUCSC: im hiding cause this annoying girl i went to HS with tried talking to me so i had to hide!
AML6349: Well, not tribe really - I guess I just mean the women.
JenneUCSC: that is the tribe ;-)
AML6349: Yes.
JenneUCSC: he he
JenneUCSC: but to answer the question, not that i am aware of
AML6349: Gracie and I thought that most of us should vote for whomever had the most previous votes - just in case.
JenneUCSC: thats kellie or me huh
JenneUCSC: but do you really want to be Tribe Hymen?
AML6349: lol, is that yours?
JenneUCSC: i thought it was funny, i couldnt help myself
AML6349: I liked it, to be honest.
JenneUCSC: well i tried to put a good arguement in!
AML6349: It worked for me.
JenneUCSC: why are you worried about a tie?
AML6349: I'm just trying to cover all the bases, that's all - I doubt there will be one.
AML6349: I'll all paranoid about the guys somehow evening it up - altho I doubt it'll happen.
JenneUCSC: as long as the girls stay tight...
AML6349: I've played in so many games where I think I know what's going to happen and people are going to stick to the plan - only to see one stray member venture off to the other side.
JenneUCSC: i guess i just have counted on our tribe sticking together cause we all have always voted together this whole game. now you are making me paranoid!
AML6349: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!
JenneUCSC: :-P i'll live
JenneUCSC: i am an optimist. so even if the truth is staring me in the eye, ill still see things the way i want them to be
JenneUCSC: :-\
AML6349: I guess I just figured that if *somehow* a woman got the majority of the votes, we can't help that... but if there was a tie somehow at least we wouldn't have to worry about past votes coming into play and that woman might have a better chance.
JenneUCSC: you think the guys might target kellie or myself? :-(
JenneUCSC: eeeek!
JenneUCSC: *hides behind annette*
JenneUCSC: *smites any boy who tries*
AML6349: Again, I seriously doubt it - just considering all the What Ifs. I think they're going after Ryan, to be honest... after most of them went after Rami but who knows.
JenneUCSC: steve wants to join the girls, he told me he wants to vote ryan off
JenneUCSC: i can say 100% that i am writing ryan's name down next TC
JenneUCSC: i may even draw hearts all over it
AML6349: hahaha
AML6349: That's crazy! Why does Steve want to join us?
JenneUCSC: a couple girls mentioned the same thing but he told me too. he has been miserable with the guys and has been waiting for the chance to jump ship
JenneUCSC: he voted for ryan before
AML6349: Wow, really... he doesn't hardly talk to me.
JenneUCSC: said he doenst trust any of em and said ryan lied to him so much he couldnt take it
JenneUCSC: awww, he is a sweet kid
JenneUCSC: you should try to talk to him, you'll like him
JenneUCSC: and...an xtra vote
JenneUCSC: :-P
AML6349: I messaged him earlier but he just went offline w/o saying anything. I've talked to him before but it's almost always me starting the conversation.
JenneUCSC: he's is abrupt. every time i talk to him he just quickly says "g 2 go bye" and before i can say goodbye he signs off
JenneUCSC: maybe he has strict parents, i dunno
JenneUCSC: i think his contempt for the guys is genuinne, he brought up ryan to me w/o any promting
AML6349: That's cool.
JenneUCSC: i havnt talked to him too many times but i trust that he'll vote with us. but then again, i trust everyone! ergh!
JenneUCSC: well i guess i shouldnt say everyone. but its hard not to take people for their face value
AML6349: Yes, I understand that one *very* well.
JenneUCSC: i've been burned...sounds like you have too
AML6349: Oh yeah - been in so many of these that it gets hard to trust people sometimes. I was just thinking about it on the way home from Wal-Fart tonight, how this was the first game in a *looong* time where I completely liked all the people from (what used to be) my tribe and trusted them.
JenneUCSC: did you mean to say Wal-Fart?
JenneUCSC: cause that made me giggle
AML6349: Yes. That's what I call it.
JenneUCSC: this is only my second game i've ever played. i was traumatized the first time. it was 2yrs ago and i just got up the will to do it again for this game
JenneUCSC: this one has been sooooo much better though
AML6349: I've been in 30 - 40 since 2001.
JenneUCSC: wholly sh*t
AML6349: and I've yet to win.
JenneUCSC: that is nuts!
JenneUCSC: i could never do it
AML6349: Came close a lot, but no wins yet.
AML6349: Most of those were pre-child.
AML6349: Now I just do one here and there.
JenneUCSC: *impressed*
JenneUCSC: *bows to queen of online survivor gaming*
AML6349: haha
AML6349:
JenneUCSC: you were 25 when you had shanley?
JenneUCSC: i'll be 25 next year :-\
AML6349: Yes, I was 25. (had to do the math real quick)
JenneUCSC: da man just got home. i gots to go.
AML6349: Ok, talk to you tomorrow!
JenneUCSC: ill talk to you later! goodluck with the challenge!
AML6349: Thanks!
JenneUCSC: :-P
AML6349:
JenneUCSC: night!
AML6349: Sweet Dreams!
