Well, so far, I haven't had to do much in this game but sit around and be sociable. I think tribe Arrow is a very strong and active tribe and hopefully will be undefeated! So I've talked to just about everone so far with the exception of Lisa, who was cold when I tried to talk to her once during the challenge, Steven who is not the conversationalist of the game, and Tony, who I've seen online once and that was for 2 seconds during the challenge. We exchanged numbers and he was gone like a vapor! Other than that, I like everyone else and have had some good conversations. The only strife I've heard of within tribe Arrow is somehow between Lucas and Mitch. Taylor has been talking strategy and he says that those 2 are telling him the exact same story but each is using the other as the main player. So I don't know if Lucas and Mitch are at odds or playing the game and seeing who they can drum up for support. Taylor mentioned that the targets suggested have been himself (although I don't know why), Steven, and Tony. When Taylor was telling me all this, I kind of started feeling like an outsider, but then again, I seem to be out of everyone's business and off their minds. Who knows? I say we don't even worry about this stuff until we go to TC. And if I have anything to do with it, it won't be for a long time. I'll stay up all night long for this challenge if I have to tonight!
Anywho, I'm sooo glad Jenne was saved at TC last night with only 2 votes. I think she and Taylor and I will be a team, so hopefully we can manage to get together. I have a feeling that Steve can join up with me, because we connected pretty well. I thought I had connected with Mitch too, but I'm gonna have to keep my eyes and ears open about him because if stuff is going around about him this early in the game, he might not be too trustworthy.
Hmmmm, have I covered everything? I think so. I've had a blast so far, because this is the first well-hosted game I've played in with challenges that actually have thought behind them. (Yes, these are props to Karen and Rob!) So yeah, i've thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been kind of like camp, the game we played around the campfire a few nights ago, and then mine and Taylor's and Jenne's private victory party for Jenne last night. I don't know where she got it, but Jenne busted out the keg, and we had a little bit of fun!

I have to say that after Taylor told me about all the stuff going on within our tribe, it kind of worried me a bit. I thought all this stuff was going on and no one saw fit to talk to me about things. Made me feel a bit alone and vulnerable except that i have Taylor by me. Well, when i sat down with Rami and Lucas tonight to work on the challenge, Lucas just starts spilling his guts to me! Telling me about all the drama going on and about how Mitch was playing everyone. I've only had regular conversations with Mitch, nothing about strategy so I have yet to see that side of him. But as long as the vote's not for me, then why not humor the majority. So i see now the only targets for tribe Arrow are Mitch and the less actives, little Steven and Tony--who i still haven't seen online since the secret code challenge. So Lucas is approaching me about an alliance with him and Taylor. I'm all for it. Keeps me from feeling so alone and vulnerable, but I better be able to trust Lucas! He could be playing us all like he says Mitch is. Heck, he and Mitch could be working together. Whatever, the case, Mitch is not very bright if he's trying to play this hard when he doesn't even need to yet. Oh well, it will be a learning experience for him.

So we lost our challenge. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was a little peaved at first, but then i got over it. I didn't feel to threatened about this vote anyway because the only names that have been tossed about were Mitch and the inactives (Tony and lil Steven). Well, I tried to talk to Jenne today to get her side of the story of the whole "harrassment" charges between her and Mitch. I believe Jenne, but the only thing that doesn't set right with me is that....how unsafe can you feel from somebody through AIM?? I mean come on. All she has to do is not respond to him. It's not like he should be able to track her down and stalk her. It's not like he's going to come right through cyberspace. Another thing that raises a red flag to me is that Lucas is so up in arms about it. Well, i guess it was after talking to Mitch this afternoon that has made me feel this way. He tells me he loved her as a friend and nothing more, and that Jenne was nice to him and then turned around to rip his heart out. He tells me how bad he's hurt. Well, someone is playing this game, and someone is playing it hard. And someone is doing it Jonny Fairplay style, and I DON'T like that I'm caught in the middle of it. Sure this is Survivor, and sure this is about outwitting and outplaying, but it's supposed to be in fun and wit....not for blood. Heck, there's not even a million waiting on the other side of this game! To say the least, all this unfolding drama has taken most all the heat from the aggravation of losing the challenge. I don't know who to believe I don't know what to think. I had a really good conversation with Ryan about the whole thing, and about voting my conscience, and he had some very nice and encouraging things to say to me. Lucas on the other hand is the bird in my other ear saying..."Ryan is saying this, Ryan is saying that...I guess he's playing the game and planning for the future, the twit" Lucas sure seems to be in the big middle of everyone's business and its starting to set off alarms in my head. I wasn't even talking strategy with Ryan...not one bit! And now this? I feel like voting completely off the wall to stir things up a bit, to see how Lucas and Ryan both would react. But I don't want to be questioned and forced to lie. It is way too early in this game for all of this. I still don't know who i'm going to vote for This makes me very anxious to see how this whole game is going to pan out. Very anxious. If its up to me...the careless players are not going to get past me. Please don't mess with me....

Less than 24 hrs until the due date, and no, Kyle has not yet voted. Something is not setting right with me. I told Lucas i was with him 100%, and Taylor seems to trust him. But I haven't talked to Taylor in a couple of days. I don't know how I should vote. After talking to Mitch and trying to here every side of the story....I'm just not sure what to do! I'm trying to assess every aspect of the situation. For all I know, all the votes could be coming toward me. For all I know, Lucas could be playing everyone. For all I know, Ryan could be playing me after all the nice things he said to me last night. I want to vote the right way today. Mitch did a heck of a lot in that challenge which tells me he really fears he's gone--which would mean he and Lucas are not working together. Gosh, I don't know, I don't know! It's this first stinkin TC I need to get past so I will know for sure the direction everyone is heading. I kind of want a self-vote somehow just so i can play if off and see how many people come to me and say "It wasn't me!" But I don't want to take a chance on all the votes being for me, then I would be gone. Also I don't want to take a chance on any kind of a penalty for not submitting a vote to TC. And I don't think I can vote for myself. Now if I throw out a random vote...who should i throw it for that would stir up the most commotion? I don't want anyone to question me because I wouldn't want to lie. Tick tock tick tock tick tock.....the time marches on while I stare blankly at my piece of parchment. Maybe I'll just wait until tonight and hopefully talk to Taylor.
