AML6349: Mine was "Down on his luck, and out of Twinkies, Fabio tried to make a quick buck."
SurvivorGracie: LOL!
SurvivorGracie: you are so gonna win this
AML6349: I couldn't think of anything for the car crash, so I just said "Billy Joel strikes again!"
SurvivorGracie: mine said : Honey, I meant to turn the other right.
AML6349: lol, cute!
SurvivorGracie: *grin* I just thought of my dad who says, 'you're other right, Gracie"
AML6349: What did you put for the trailer with the limo in front?
SurvivorGracie: "My OTHER house is a mansion"
AML6349:
AML6349: This was mine:
AML6349: "This is a story of when Paris Hilton is picked to live in a house and have her life taped to find out what happens when people stop being clean and start getting hillbilly - The Real World: Kentucky."
SurvivorGracie: LOL
SurvivorGracie: you are good at this!
AML6349: I hope we get to read everyone's captions.
SurvivorGracie: me too!
SurvivorGracie: I still wanna read the boys' story
AML6349: I laid in bed last night and thought about most of 'em.
AML6349: Me too.
AML6349: We never did get to, did we.
SurvivorGracie: nopes
SurvivorGracie: KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREN
SurvivorGracie: *grin*
AML6349: Kaaaren! You got a lot of 'xplaining to do!
SurvivorGracie: yeah
AML6349: I'm taking Shanley for a haircut today.
AML6349: I took a super-cute picture of her yesterday, want to see?
AML6349: She's wearing her dad's Montreal Canadiens toque.
SurvivorGracie: yes!
AML6349: img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/MinxCat/toquepic.jpg
SurvivorGracie: omg .. she's so adorable
AML6349: Thanks!
SurvivorGracie: she looks like she'd be a lot of fun
AML6349: Looks can be deceiving. lol She throws more fits than has fun.
AML6349: She's only smiling because I let her jump on her bed.
SurvivorGracie: LOL
SurvivorGracie: my nephew is on his way over
SurvivorGracie: I'm gonna take him bowling this afternoon
SurvivorGracie: *grin* let him use some energy
AML6349: Cool
AML6349: Other than a haircut, I don't know what else to do today.
SurvivorGracie: hmmm tell her to run 20 laps so she's tired for a nap?
AML6349: Sounds nice.
SurvivorGracie: *giggle*
SurvivorGracie: I let Dony go outside and play basketball too ... *grin* he gets nice and tired
AML6349: How old is he again?
SurvivorGracie: 11
AML6349: Cool
SurvivorGracie: yeah .. it's nice that he's old enough now that I can let him play outside without being right there on top of him
SurvivorGracie: he doesn't know yet that he's gonna be helping me clean tonight thought O:-)
AML6349: Doh! lol
SurvivorGracie: *grin* shhhh ...
SurvivorGracie: I'm hoping to bribe him with money
SurvivorGracie: since he's saving for some new x-box games
AML6349: That always works.
SurvivorGracie: I hope so!
SurvivorGracie: I have so much laundry and stuff to do before vacation
SurvivorGracie: and figuring out what to take
SurvivorGracie: <sigh> I always overpack
AML6349: Oh that's right! I totally forgot about your vacation!
SurvivorGracie: yeah ... one month from today I will be in Mexico
SurvivorGracie: drinking a margarita!
SurvivorGracie: brought to me by a cabana boy
AML6349: Oh, Mexico? For some reason I thought you were going to Florida.
SurvivorGracie: lol my dad went to Florida
SurvivorGracie: I had considered going .. *pouts* I wanna go back to DisneyWorld
SurvivorGracie: it was either there or Mexico
AML6349: Mexico sounds better to me! Have you ever been there before?
SurvivorGracie: never
AML6349: Me either.
SurvivorGracie: my roommate just decided about a week ago that we were actually gonna go
AML6349: I'd love to go to another country someday, other than Canada. I'm there so often that it isn't a big deal.
SurvivorGracie: yeah ... a friend asked me if I had ever been out of the country .. and I'm like no
SurvivorGracie: going to Canada isn't like going OUT of the country
SurvivorGracie: we just drive over to Detroit and go through the tunnel
AML6349: Yeah - it's so similiar to the US that it doesn't seem like a different country. It's not like we have to get a passport and fly away or something.
SurvivorGracie: yeah
SurvivorGracie: though going to Mexico all I need is my birth certificate
SurvivorGracie: though it has to be an original one
SurvivorGracie: I keep thinking I should get a passport and I just never do it
AML6349: My original birth certificate is falling apart.
SurvivorGracie: it's odd .. I have two
SurvivorGracie: and they're both different
AML6349: Really? Weird!
SurvivorGracie: yeah .. and one was filed like 4 days after I was born .. and the other was filed 5 years
AML6349: I have to go take a shower and get ready to go - will you be around later?
SurvivorGracie: I surely will
SurvivorGracie: lol .. I'm always here
AML6349: Ok, talk to you later!
SurvivorGracie: definitely!

[Annette]

Kdadams76: good morning annette
AML6349: Good Morning!
Kdadams76: how are you?
AML6349: Not bad - about to go take a shower. I'm taking Shanley for a haircut at 1.
Kdadams76: awww....how is that beautiful little girl?
AML6349: She's doing good - want to see a quick picture before I leave? It was taken yesterday.
Kdadams76: of course!
Kdadams76: i'm about to go pick up my neice
AML6349: img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/MinxCat/toquepic.jpg
Kdadams76: she is so sweet
Kdadams76: look at her
AML6349: She was wearing her toque all day.
AML6349: I have to get going, will you be around later?
Kdadams76: probably not much today cause i'm going out with my girlfriend all day
AML6349: Ok - have fun. I'll talk to you another time then, Good Luck on the challenge! Hopefully results will be up by the time I get home.
Kdadams76: yeah you too
Kdadams76: have fun with shanlee

taylorserveshard: Hey
AML6349: Hey
taylorserveshard: How'd the challenge go?
AML6349: I think I did OK, you?
taylorserveshard: alright
taylorserveshard: It's just going to depend on the judges humor
AML6349: True!
taylorserveshard: that last vote was rought though
AML6349: Yeah, it was!
taylorserveshard: so how are you?
AML6349: Ehh - it's been a shitty day.
taylorserveshard: what gone on
AML6349: Just Shanley and her 'funness'.
taylorserveshard: lol
taylorserveshard: Is that one of you kids?
AML6349: Yes.
taylorserveshard: what's her " Funness"
AML6349: Her just being bitchy, grumpy, throwing fits.
taylorserveshard: how old is she?
AML6349: 2
taylorserveshard: ahh terrible two's huh?
AML6349: Oh yeah - it's horrid.
taylorserveshard: I don't know if I could ever be a parent
AML6349: It just gets tiring.
taylorserveshard: I bet
taylorserveshard: so what have you thought of the merge so far?
AML6349: It's been interesting to say the least. You?
taylorserveshard: oh yeah very interesting
taylorserveshard: two interesting boots
AML6349: Brb, phone.

AML6349: Hey
LucasHorowitz: well hello there :-)
AML6349: How are you?
LucasHorowitz: eh, fine I guess.
LucasHorowitz: not bad, not great
LucasHorowitz: just ok
AML6349: Sorry to hear that.
AML6349: Are you upset over the last vote?
LucasHorowitz: I....wasn't happy what lead to it
LucasHorowitz: *with what
AML6349: What specifically?
LucasHorowitz: a promise was made to her at the ryan vote and it wasn't going to be honoured because the person who made the promise decided to throw a little weight around
LucasHorowitz: and I felt that there was a compromise possible but I couldn't seem to smooth things over
AML6349: What kind of promise?
LucasHorowitz: I believe, and I am still piecing it together, it sounds like she was suppose to have support in keeping her from being targeted by someone
LucasHorowitz: (who I am guessing is Kyle giving thats who she came to me with)
LucasHorowitz: (but I could be wrong)
AML6349: I was sad to see her leave - from what I was told, she was going to be getting the majority of the votes but I had expected to vote for Kyle.
LucasHorowitz: it got out of hand. I did my best to smooth things over. I don't think Kyle *or* Jamie should have gotten votes.
AML6349: Why would you have preferred to go home?
LucasHorowitz: someone who hadn't earned making jury
LucasHorowitz: and they both earned it in my eyes
AML6349: Is that who you voted for?
AML6349: Brb, phone.
LucasHorowitz: I changed back and forth on the two of them seven hundred times
LucasHorowitz: I ultimately went with Kyle becuase I knew he was safe
LucasHorowitz: and he wouldn't be mad at me after

Love Struck Muse: Hey Annette!
AML6349: Hey
Love Struck Muse: How are you?
AML6349: Ehh, shitty. You?
Love Struck Muse: I'm ok. I'm sorry to hear that!! What's wrong?
AML6349: Just a bunch of stuff with Shanley... too much crap for one day.
Love Struck Muse: Aw, well that sucks... she can't be 2 forever though. :-\
AML6349: 2 of today's 'fun' events - I basically had to put her in a headlock to get her hair cut, and I have her blood all over my shirt after she tripped over a pillow and fell flat on her face.
Love Struck Muse: Damn... :-( that is hard. I wonder why kids don't like getting their hair cut
AML6349: I don't know, it's insane.
Love Struck Muse: Did she eventually get it cut?
AML6349: Yes - it was hard but it was done. Not as much as I'd have liked but enough.
AML6349: It's not in her eyes anymore.
Love Struck Muse: lol, you think she would want that fixed... that's one of the most annoying things!
AML6349: I know - it drives me nuts.
Love Struck Muse: Same! It drives me nuts looking at someone who has hair falling in their face... like on tv and stuff.
AML6349: How did you do on the challenge?
Love Struck Muse: I can't be sure. It depends on the judge's sense of humor. You?
AML6349: I think I did OK! What was your favorite one?
Love Struck Muse: Something came to mind with each of them but one... the one with the boy and the fountain.
Love Struck Muse: I liked the fat guy selling romance books
AML6349: That was my best one.
Love Struck Muse: I can't wait to see what everyone said
Love Struck Muse: What did you say
Love Struck Muse: Watch.. we put the same thing! lmao
AML6349: Down on his luck, and out of Twinkies, Fabio tried to make a quick buck.

Love Struck Muse: lol
Love Struck Muse: I said all the years of eating I can't believe it's not butter finally caught up to Fabio
AML6349: lol, we both had a similiar idea.
Love Struck Muse: Yep! I hope we're the only two who said something like that.
AML6349: Me too.
Love Struck Muse: Otherwise they'll be like how unoriginal!
AML6349: I know. I thought I was being original too!
Love Struck Muse: Same. I was like wow I finally got a great idea.
Love Struck Muse: Great minds think alike I guess
AML6349: Brb, phone.
Love Struck Muse: I have to go! TTYL Annette! Have a good day and I hope you feel better :-)

SurvivorGracie: hey there
AML6349: Hey
SurvivorGracie: how are you tonight?
SurvivorGracie: *grumble* and why don't we have a decision yet
AML6349: I had a pretty crappy day so I'm glad it's over.
SurvivorGracie: aw .. *hugs*
SurvivorGracie: how come a crappy day?
AML6349: Shanley fought me when she was getting her hair cut, so I basically had to put her in a headlock.
AML6349: Then she lost the tube of toothpast I bought so I basically paid $3 for a box.
AML6349: and then she tripped over a pillow while running and kissed the floor with her face - blood everywhere.
SurvivorGracie: aw man
SurvivorGracie: you definitely need some major *hugs*
AML6349: Thanks *HUGZ*
SurvivorGracie: I'm sorry about your day ...
SurvivorGracie: I bet you feel like screaming "CALGON ... TAKE ME AWAY"
AML6349: Yes, pretty much.
SurvivorGracie: *sends Annette a gallon of Calgon*
AML6349: I feel so blah tonight.
SurvivorGracie: aw .. can I help?
SurvivorGracie: I'll just sit here and continue to hug you
AML6349: I'm just tired and annoyed.
SurvivorGracie: not annoyed with me are you?
AML6349: No no no
AML6349: Shanley, Don, life, etc.
SurvivorGracie: aw .... lock yourself in your bedroom!
AML6349: Don's going to bed, Shanley's asleep - I'll have some free time.
SurvivorGracie: yay
AML6349: Are you talking to Jenne?
SurvivorGracie: not at the moment
SurvivorGracie: talking to a friend -- haven't seen her online lately
AML6349: She seems to be suggsetion a Kelley vote for some reason. That makes me nervous because we'd be tied with the guys.
SurvivorGracie: eek
SurvivorGracie: which boy do you think we should vote out?
SurvivorGracie: this vote is coming so soon after the Jamie mess I haven't thought about it
AML6349: I want to go with Kyle, to be honest. Taylor maybe. I like Lucas and Steve might be loyal.
SurvivorGracie: if all the girls vote Kyle .. it should be good
SurvivorGracie: do you think Steve would be more loyal than Kyle?
AML6349: Yes, I think so. Someone told me that Kyle appeared to be Lucas' lapboy but I'm not sure how true that is.
SurvivorGracie: me either .. but I think right now Kyle is grateful for "being saved" at the last tc
SurvivorGracie: even if that's not what was really going on
SurvivorGracie: and we may be able to use that if we wanted to
AML6349: We should make a 'be loyal and we might not vote you out' offer.
SurvivorGracie: *grin* we think alike
SurvivorGracie: I was just thinking .. Kyle is more active than Steve
SurvivorGracie: and we may be able to play that kind of card with Kyle
SurvivorGracie: *grin*
AML6349: True.
SurvivorGracie: but I'm open to whatever
AML6349: Me too.
SurvivorGracie: especially if it keeps up safe
AML6349: True that.
SurvivorGracie: I just wish Jamie hadn't gotten all nuts on us
AML6349: I know.
SurvivorGracie: but ... I guess we need to look at now what will help keep us safe
SurvivorGracie: and in the game
AML6349: I definitely want to vote out a guy next to keep our majority.
AML6349: I need to go for a bit, will you be around later?
SurvivorGracie: yep
AML6349: Ok, I'll talk to you later.
SurvivorGracie: okay!
SurvivorGracie: take care of yourself!
AML6349: You too! *HUGZ*

JenneUCSC: she's back!
JenneUCSC: ....or not!
AML6349: Hey
AML6349: I was in the bathroom.
JenneUCSC: likely exuse!
AML6349: What's up?
JenneUCSC: its been awhile since we last talked and a lot went down
AML6349: Yes, it did.
JenneUCSC: so i wanted to at least touch base iwth you on everything that has happened
AML6349: Cool
JenneUCSC: i mean seeing as jamie was in our alliance...and now i guess she's not
JenneUCSC: lol
AML6349: True, lol.
JenneUCSC: i just didnt understand why she wasnt happy someone in her alliance won the IC. she had to not only be mad at me but she lied about me. i just dont get why she would do that.
JenneUCSC: frankly that just hurt. cause i thought we had built a friendship in this game. she seemed really emotional
JenneUCSC: do we suck for what we did?
AML6349: She got all pissed off at Gracie too.
AML6349: It seemed like she had something to prove to Kyle, why I don't know.
AML6349: Hell, I wanted to win that challenge too but there was no way in Hell that I would treat you badly for it. I was geeked that you won!
JenneUCSC: the kyle thing was silly. she told me she had voted him out of another game
JenneUCSC: and she would do evil cackles talking bout doin it to him again in this one
JenneUCSC: and the challenge...well...shopping was something i refused to be beat at. my genetic code ordered me to not give up on that one! :-)
JenneUCSC: i think kyle must be stoked to still be here though!
AML6349: I had a weird talk with Lucas today.
JenneUCSC: yah?
AML6349: Let me pull it up.
AML6349: AML6349: Are you upset over the last vote?
LucasHorowitz: I....wasn't happy what lead to it
LucasHorowitz: *with what
AML6349: What specifically?
LucasHorowitz: a promise was made to her at the ryan vote and it wasn't going to be honoured because the person who made the promise decided to throw a little weight around
LucasHorowitz: and I felt that there was a compromise possible but I couldn't seem to smooth things over
AML6349: What kind of promise?
LucasHorowitz: I believe, and I am still piecing it together, it sounds like she was suppose to have support in keeping her from being targeted by someone
LucasHorowitz: (who I am guessing is Kyle giving thats who she came to me with)
LucasHorowitz: (but I could be wrong)
AML6349: I was sad to see her leave - from what I was told, she was going to be getting the majority of the votes but I had expected to vote for Kyle.
LucasHorowitz: it got out of hand. I did my best to smooth things over. I don't think Kyle *or* Jamie should have gotten votes.
AML6349: Why would you have preferred to go home?
LucasHorowitz: someone who hadn't earned making jury
LucasHorowitz: and they both earned it in my eyes
AML6349: Is that who you voted for?
AML6349: Brb, phone.
LucasHorowitz: I changed back and forth on the two of them seven hundred times
LucasHorowitz: I ultimately went with Kyle becuase I knew he was safe
LucasHorowitz: and he wouldn't be mad at me after

JenneUCSC: give me sec, this is long
AML6349: k
JenneUCSC: ok, that is strange
AML6349: I know.
AML6349: What I don't understand is this.
AML6349: Why, if he felt that neither Kyle nor Jamie deserved votes, did he vote for one of them?
JenneUCSC: i want to know who he did want to vote for
AML6349: Why didn't he vote for this 'other person' he's talking about?
JenneUCSC: exactly!
AML6349: He was gone by the time I came back from the phone.
JenneUCSC: well we are at the f9. this is gonna be a whirlwind. trying to figure out where everyone is, lets just say im a lil overwhelmed!
JenneUCSC: but lucas has always seemed ilussive to me
JenneUCSC: i never understand what hes saying really
AML6349: Have you thought about the next vote?
JenneUCSC: how could i not have?
AML6349: Who's crossed your mind?
JenneUCSC: well us girls have 5 boys 4. so logically a boy should go so we keep our advantage.
AML6349: Yes...
JenneUCSC: i know ellie talked to me bout a guy goin
JenneUCSC: thing is, steve jumped ship. he wants to vote with the girls. so we have a lil cushion if he is true to his word
AML6349: Any of 'em work for me - it's at the point where we say do we get rid of someone who might challenge us or something who doesn't deserved to be there.
JenneUCSC: well if its someone who doesnt deserve to be here my vote would be kelley
JenneUCSC: i've talked to her only two or three times in this game
JenneUCSC: is she even playing?
JenneUCSC: i'd keep her to keep our numbers up but im not too confidant she is even with us. who talks to her? i guess she is a mystery to me, that scares me
JenneUCSC: the boys...they are all going at some point. and they dont even seem to like each other.
JenneUCSC: so yah i've thought bout it
JenneUCSC: but im lost
JenneUCSC: as u can see
AML6349: I'm on boat with you.
AML6349: I don't care which guy, to be honest.
JenneUCSC: draw a name out of a hat?
AML6349: I don't know to go with who's the biggest threat or just someone I'm not close to.
JenneUCSC: this sounds horrible, but not of the guys really seem like a threat
AML6349: If I had to pick someone, I'd just have to say Lucas or Kyle just because they seem a bit smarter than the others.
JenneUCSC: lol poor taylor and steve!
AML6349:
AML6349: Just being honest... they're nice guys tho.
JenneUCSC: where is ellie in all this? feels like her and kelley are the forgotten players
JenneUCSC: like there are 9 left, but only feels like 6 really
JenneUCSC: do you get that too?
AML6349: I'm not sure, I haven't spoken to her much. When we do talk, it's just like basic chitchat.
JenneUCSC: she told me from the beginning of this game she really liked you
JenneUCSC: i think she wants the f4 to be you, her, me, and gracie
JenneUCSC: do you talk to kelley ever?
JenneUCSC: cause it bothers me that she has never felt the need to talk to me. EVER. scares me actually. cause if someone doesnt talk to you...then who are they talking to...and about what!
AML6349: I like Kelley but it bothers me that she only seems to want to talk game play on the day of TC.
AML6349: Otherwise I never see her.
JenneUCSC: she never wants to talk to me period.
AML6349: I wonder why.
JenneUCSC: my emotional gut wants to vote her out
JenneUCSC: to be very honest
JenneUCSC: i dont know if that is the best decision, but it is what i want to do
AML6349: I'm faced with a dilemma of vote her out because she doesn't deserve to be here and loose our advantage, or keep her around for the #s and send someone more deserving home.
JenneUCSC: :-\
JenneUCSC: well if steve votes with us..we would make it thru. cause no one will want a tie
JenneUCSC: we make it thru that next vote, and the four girls left are golden!
AML6349: Gah, I don't know - I just don't want to take risks.
JenneUCSC: well what if kelley swings to the guys and really we are 4 against 5 already?
AML6349: Think she would?
JenneUCSC: i have no clue what she is capable of. like i said, maybe a handful of sentences have been xchanged between us
JenneUCSC: she is a complete mystery to me. freaks me out. cause i dont know if she is allied with anyone or no one or what
AML6349: She wouldn't vote for Jamie because she said she didn't want to turn on the girls... I think she's pretty loyal.
JenneUCSC: were here and jamie alligned maybe?
AML6349: I don't know.
JenneUCSC: well what do you want to do? if who you chose was garunteed to leave?
AML6349: I'd choose Kyle.
AML6349: Then maybe Kelley after that.
AML6349: I've been in too many situations where those I was aligned with gave up a majority and have lived to regret it.
JenneUCSC: lol, i should defer to your wisdom in these matters. seeing as you have played 40 more games than i have
JenneUCSC: :-)
AML6349: It's just my gut feeling, that's all. I want us to get to the final 4 and to do that, we need to maintain a majority. Maybe we'd be just fine tied up with the guys... but I'd rather guarantee it.
JenneUCSC: who is us?
AML6349: Us meaning you, me, Gracie and... whoever. lol It was Jamie and now I don't know! Maybe I should say Final 3 and not Final 4.
JenneUCSC: lol, ok thats what i thought. just had to make sure!
JenneUCSC: poor jamie :-(
AML6349: Yeah.
JenneUCSC: i wonder when this IC will be posted
AML6349: Loyalty aside, would you rather have Steve or Kyle around? To be it all comes down to that whole active/inactive thing.
AML6349: Gah, I don't know - it's driving me nuts.
JenneUCSC: do i sound like a bitch if i said steve and kyle were interchangeable?
JenneUCSC:
AML6349: lol, no.
AML6349: That's a featured quote right there.
AML6349: Coming up on the next episode of Survivor Holidays 4: "Do i sound like a bitch if i said steve and kyle were interchangeable?"
JenneUCSC: lmao
JenneUCSC: they are hard. kyle is more active than steve. steve has ties to ellie. and i think he wants to stick with the girls. but i dunno. kyle will also be gratefull after we stuck our neck out to protect him from jamie. so really they could go either way.
JenneUCSC: steve is a sweet kid. but he always leaves abruptly when i've talked to him
AML6349: I barely talk to Steve, do you?
JenneUCSC: its a lil weird
AML6349: I never see him.
JenneUCSC: he isnt around hardly at all. he'll pop up, talk to me botu SATs or something for a minute then run off before i say goodbye
AML6349: Strange.
JenneUCSC: he never talks strategy except to tell me he is with thegirls and hates the guys
JenneUCSC: otherwise he talks bout SATs or a friend of his or something random
AML6349: I wonder why.
JenneUCSC: you got me
AML6349: I need to go for a bit, will you be around later?
JenneUCSC: yah, im just trying to do hw and squeezing in some convo here and there
AML6349: Ok, I'll talk to you later.
JenneUCSC: bye! glad we had a chance to talk
AML6349: Me too, talk to you later!
