Hi hosts!
I want to update you guys on my crazy life to explain my lack of decent confessionals lately. First off, as Sandy knows, I've been in server training since Wednesday which was 35 hours in 4 days! Today was my day off, and I had to spend my time from waking up till now moving across town. Plus, now, I won't have internet at home until Tuesday, so I'm having to sneak onto whatever wi-fi I can hack into. Not fun...
So, don't think I'm going inactive or anything silly like that! Just an absolutely insane time right now.
In addition, this is an early notice that I will be travelling to New York City on May 12 and returning home May 18. I will have internet access every day, but I may not be online quite as much due to the fact that I'll be on vacation.
Thanks!

I didn't think it was aimed at me, but I just wanted to make sure you knew what was going on. Sandy, server training is sooooo good! It was fucking Monday lunch so I only had 4 tables today, but I got two 10$ tips and the others were a 6$ and a 7$ ... so, not bad! Still need to work on the add-ons. >_< And this SO counts as a journal post for this episode. AHHHH And I'm so fucked if we lose this challenge. I don't know what the hell is going on with the tribe right now since I've barely been able to get online. Luckily, Erik said Jeffrey is prolly willing to give me the idol if I need it. Can you imagine how shocked everyone would be?!?!!?

Well, this is getting pretty nerve-racking!
Unfortunately, after what I felt was a solid effort, we came up short at the immunity challenge by one vote. Of course it sucks to have to deal with tribal council, especially since I don't feel anywhere near as safe now as I did back on the original heroes tribe. However, it sounds like there's no public thing going around of me being a target. It could always change, but I'm hoping I'm able to slide out of this jam I currently find myself stuck in.
First, after I got off work, I had Hooker, Juice, AND Jordan all wanting to talk to me, urgently. I immediately hopped in skype with Jordan and got filled in before I heard what Hooker and Juice had to say. Basically, those 2 have pledged their loyalty to me, Jordan, and Tucker. They have agreed to vote Bud with us this round, hoping it will save face for them later in the game. After all, if the villains try to stick together at this point, they're just begging to be picked off at the merge because they'll be outnumbered regardless. By shaking things up, they increase their likelihood of making it decently far in the game.
With Jordan receiving this self-vote, it is extremely important that Juice AND Hooker vote for Bud. But, because we're SO good, we now have backup. Somehow, Jeffrey gave Jordan the idol! I don't know when exactly this happened, but holy shit! I'm thrilled to see Jordan have possession. We have to assume that Bud/RB will be writing Jordan's name down. Even if Juice and Hooker are completely lying to our faces, if Jordan plays the idol, Bud will go home anyways, AND we'll at least be able to force a tie at worst. Jordan and I discussed the pros and cons of telling Juice and Hooker about the idol, and we have realized that it's smarter to NOT mention it. After all, telling them would be giving them all the power in the world. Although they may be a little hurt and upset to not have heard about Jordan playing the idol, I'm sure it will still make more sense for them to be nice to us and kiss our asses.
If everything happens correctly, Bud will be receiving 4 votes, and Jordan will be getting 3. (Including his self-vote) Of course, there is always the chance that my name or Tucker's name could be thrown out there to receiving votes too, even though Jordan has no voting privaleges. Hey, they still THINK they have the votes to get whoever they want out. After my conversation with him last night, I do believe Bud feels he can semi-trust me, which will hopefully assure that he won't be coming after me anything soon. If anything funky happens, I have to pray they are all still targetting Jordan because the hidden idol is not really available for me too!
In terms of my future game, getting off this tribe would be outstanding. The sooner the better. It's so hard not knowing details about the extent of some of the other friendships in this game. Now I know what it feels like to deal with me and Erin! For all we know, RB and Tucker could be as inseperable as me/Erin, and I could be completely missing it. You just never know in Survivor, and rounds like this are what make the game so exhillerating! I will check back tomorrow and update if a lot changes between now and then. I really hope there's no parchments with my name down tonight! =X

And just to let yall know, on our Tribal Council instructions, it says Bud and Jeffrey are immune, which I think is old and forgot to be deleted. Just double checking!
