Stephen's a great guy. Could be a fantastic ally, especially teaming up with Morgan and Erin. The part about him saying he'd do whatever it takes to win though...makes me feel he'll pull a JT at some point and abandon loyalties. For now I trust him. We'll see if that changes.
nevadasoutherner (9:24:22 PM): hey tom!
nevadasoutherner (9:24:34 PM): thanks for the add on facebook and hell yeah... go heroes!
onetz53 (9:24:48 PM): :-)
onetz53 (9:24:55 PM): can't flipping wait to dominate
nevadasoutherner (9:25:04 PM): oh yeah.
nevadasoutherner (9:25:12 PM): they are all so cocky
nevadasoutherner (9:25:19 PM): i can't wait to see them lose
nevadasoutherner (9:25:52 PM): so you look like a big phillies fan!
onetz53 (9:26:02 PM): oh yes
onetz53 (9:26:24 PM): can't wait for baseball to get underway again
onetz53 (9:26:25 PM): I love it
nevadasoutherner (9:33:41 PM): sorry, i was in the other room for a sec
nevadasoutherner (9:33:45 PM): yeah, baseball is cool
onetz53 (9:33:47 PM): no worries
nevadasoutherner (9:33:54 PM): but i'm missing football season big time
nevadasoutherner (9:34:00 PM): i've always been an angels fan
nevadasoutherner (9:34:09 PM): and i hate both the yankees and red sox with a passion
onetz53 (9:34:14 PM): ME TOO
nevadasoutherner (9:34:24 PM): i mean, besides their fans, who doesn't? =P
onetz53 (9:34:30 PM): ugh, seeing the Yanks beat my Phils in the WS last season sucked horribly
nevadasoutherner (9:34:40 PM): yeah i bet
nevadasoutherner (9:34:53 PM): but at least they won it the year before, right?
onetz53 (9:35:10 PM): yeah, so the blow wasn't too too bad
nevadasoutherner (9:35:27 PM): what makes you like the phillies?
onetz53 (9:35:27 PM): been a Phillies fan all my life and never thought I'd ever see them win it, let alone get there two years in a row
onetz53 (9:35:36 PM): oh, and I used to live near Philly
onetz53 (9:35:41 PM): lived there till I was 12
onetz53 (9:35:44 PM): then moved to Georgia
nevadasoutherner (9:35:47 PM): ohh nice
onetz53 (9:36:09 PM): yeah...now I've been in Georgia for way too long and wanna move outta here haha
nevadasoutherner (9:36:19 PM): haha i wanna get off the west coast
onetz53 (9:36:26 PM): oh really?
nevadasoutherner (9:36:37 PM): i lived in anaheim till i was 10, then moved to northern california, and now im in nevada
onetz53 (9:36:39 PM): I'm actually thinking of heading over there to live with a friend this summer...hoping it works out
nevadasoutherner (9:36:52 PM): where at?
onetz53 (9:36:59 PM): outside LA
nevadasoutherner (9:37:02 PM): cool
nevadasoutherner (9:37:06 PM): that's the best place! lol
nevadasoutherner (9:37:10 PM): there's so much going on in LA
nevadasoutherner (9:37:21 PM): i want to move to florida when i'm done with school next year
onetz53 (9:37:30 PM): yeah...I've never been farther west than Chicago, so I think it'd be a nice change of scenery for me
nevadasoutherner (9:37:50 PM): for sure
nevadasoutherner (9:38:00 PM): if you have a southern accent, you'll get tons of questions from people
nevadasoutherner (9:38:02 PM): lol
onetz53 (9:38:14 PM): alas, I never picked one up
onetz53 (9:38:21 PM): though I've gotten used to them down here by now
nevadasoutherner (9:38:30 PM): haha im obsessed with southern accents
nevadasoutherner (9:38:32 PM): its kinda sad
nevadasoutherner (9:38:43 PM): one of my life goals is to get one... ok, not really. but i think they are hot.
onetz53 (9:39:23 PM): haha it depends on the kind of southern accent...old hillbilly southern accents aren't that particularly pleasing
onetz53 (9:39:25 PM): but maybe that's just me
onetz53 (9:39:25 PM): :-)
nevadasoutherner (9:39:50 PM): i don't like the ones where the words all sound the same and it's just mumbling
nevadasoutherner (9:39:58 PM): i just like a lil' twang
onetz53 (9:40:21 PM): yeah I know what you mean...I'm similarly enamored with British/Australian accents
nevadasoutherner (9:40:30 PM): hahaha
nevadasoutherner (9:40:33 PM): aussie
nevadasoutherner (9:40:36 PM): ahhh
nevadasoutherner (9:40:39 PM): makes me weak at the knees
nevadasoutherner (9:40:57 PM): if only torah were real so we could hear her sexy aussie voice
nevadasoutherner (9:41:01 PM): whoever that girl is
onetz53 (9:41:05 PM): I went to the UK two years ago and quite enjoyed just listening to the people there
onetz53 (9:41:10 PM): hahaha, Torah <333
nevadasoutherner (9:41:20 PM): haha that chick is so fucking hot
nevadasoutherner (9:41:29 PM): im just so afraid she's secretly a man
onetz53 (9:41:45 PM): Torah has always been an alluring iSurv1vor mystery
onetz53 (9:41:53 PM): I always get nervous when s/he flirts with me
nevadasoutherner (9:41:57 PM): lol!
nevadasoutherner (9:42:17 PM): yeah, well, you can usually tell when they are fake if they avoid those requests to take pictures
nevadasoutherner (9:42:20 PM): or webcam/skype
nevadasoutherner (9:42:28 PM): makes it pretty obvious
onetz53 (9:42:47 PM): yeah...and she played as an alias in my original iSurv1vor season, so that only makes me think even more that "Torah" is one as well
nevadasoutherner (9:42:59 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (9:43:05 PM): so an alias played as an alias
onetz53 (9:43:10 PM): basically
nevadasoutherner (9:43:10 PM): that's just wrong
nevadasoutherner (9:43:12 PM): lol
onetz53 (9:43:29 PM): good ole Torah
nevadasoutherner (9:43:33 PM): our tribe seems amazing so far though
nevadasoutherner (9:43:38 PM): i'm so stoked to play!
onetz53 (9:43:44 PM): I agree
onetz53 (9:43:55 PM): was so happy to see you/Erin cast
nevadasoutherner (9:44:01 PM): thanks!
onetz53 (9:44:02 PM): I love Erin <3
nevadasoutherner (9:44:04 PM): erin was shocked!!!!
nevadasoutherner (9:44:11 PM): i love erin too, as everyone knows
nevadasoutherner (9:44:24 PM): and now i get to start the game with a target on my back, yay!
nevadasoutherner (9:44:28 PM): ;-)
onetz53 (9:44:43 PM): haha it could be the tribe of couples
onetz53 (9:44:56 PM): with you guys, me/Morgan, and Allan/Ashley
nevadasoutherner (9:45:03 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (9:45:07 PM): ohhh you/morgan are close?
nevadasoutherner (9:45:10 PM): I LOOOOVE MORGAN
nevadasoutherner (9:45:23 PM): she's so nice! she went out of her way to meet me and stuff after last season
onetz53 (9:45:26 PM): haha do you know the story of us from the first All Star season?
nevadasoutherner (9:45:30 PM): no!
onetz53 (9:45:39 PM): well you're in for a good one my friend
onetz53 (9:45:40 PM): :-)
nevadasoutherner (9:45:42 PM): i know, basically, nothing about isurvivor past history
nevadasoutherner (9:45:49 PM): did yall like each other?
onetz53 (9:45:57 PM): uh...you got half of it right
onetz53 (9:45:58 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (9:46:04 PM): uh oh
onetz53 (9:46:04 PM): she was obsessed with me
onetz53 (9:46:10 PM): like, borderline-crazy-obsessed
nevadasoutherner (9:46:13 PM): that was my next guess
nevadasoutherner (9:46:14 PM): ahhh yikes
onetz53 (9:46:36 PM): yeah and after she got voted out I was honestly kinda relieved because it was almost getting ridiculous
onetz53 (9:46:45 PM): so I stopped talking to her
onetz53 (9:46:48 PM): then she got upset by that
onetz53 (9:46:50 PM): and I felt bad
onetz53 (9:47:10 PM): and so she kinda came back to earth after that and we've had a fine e-relationship ever since
onetz53 (9:47:17 PM): she's engaged now so no more creepy obsession :-)
nevadasoutherner (9:47:22 PM): sweet!
nevadasoutherner (9:47:32 PM): yeah, dude, i've been in your same position so many times
onetz53 (9:47:35 PM): but yeah, it was quite humorous looking back on it
nevadasoutherner (9:47:42 PM): and it sucks because i hate to hurt someone's feelings
nevadasoutherner (9:47:57 PM): and then they get all pissed and act like you are the worst person alive
nevadasoutherner (9:48:04 PM): and its like... what did i do to deserve this?!
onetz53 (9:48:11 PM): yeah, exactly
nevadasoutherner (9:48:16 PM): i don't think the girls ever put themselves in our shoesw
nevadasoutherner (9:48:20 PM): shoes*
nevadasoutherner (9:48:34 PM): yet, they demand that we automatically know what they are thinkin at all times
nevadasoutherner (9:48:38 PM): ugh
nevadasoutherner (9:48:46 PM): i could vent for days about how much i hate girls
onetz53 (9:48:47 PM): yeah...complicating stuff haha
nevadasoutherner (9:48:48 PM): so i'll just stop now
nevadasoutherner (9:48:49 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (9:49:17 PM): as long as we can just kick ass in the challenges, we won't even have to worry about votes
nevadasoutherner (9:49:24 PM): that's kinda my thinking.
nevadasoutherner (9:49:38 PM): we have to redeem the reputation of heroes from this current season of survivor! it sucks!
onetz53 (9:49:59 PM): oh yeah...not quite the heroic effort we all expected from them
nevadasoutherner (9:50:11 PM): i still blame james
onetz53 (9:50:19 PM): honestly I feel like we should be fine...there's so many psycho/argumentative people on that tribe so far
nevadasoutherner (9:50:27 PM): lol for sure
onetz53 (9:50:41 PM): but yeah...stupid James
nevadasoutherner (9:51:14 PM): i really like JT, but he didn't help much either by flopping on alliances a couple times. it really screwed up their unity and all that
nevadasoutherner (9:51:25 PM): and i feel like they got screwed by puzzles, which sorta sucks
onetz53 (9:52:02 PM): yeah, too many puzzle-challenges in my opinion
nevadasoutherner (9:52:21 PM): hopefully they'll merge soon. i'm curious to see how they will mesh together
onetz53 (9:52:36 PM): ugh I'm praying they merge...I don't want Courtney/Sandra to get picked off
nevadasoutherner (9:52:53 PM): they are my favorite villains left, but i love the heroes way more
nevadasoutherner (9:53:01 PM): except rupert... he's annoying me for some reason
onetz53 (9:53:07 PM): ROARRRR
nevadasoutherner (9:53:10 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (9:53:17 PM): i am loving candice! and i dont even know why.
onetz53 (9:53:18 PM): yeah, screw Rupert
onetz53 (9:53:38 PM): I enjoy Candice as well
nevadasoutherner (9:53:41 PM): and i liked jerri till this last vote...
onetz53 (9:53:46 PM): I hope Amanda makes it to the final tribal again, and loses again
onetz53 (9:53:47 PM): it'd be epic
nevadasoutherner (9:53:53 PM): ^
nevadasoutherner (9:53:55 PM): i bet she will
nevadasoutherner (9:54:03 PM): she is a hell of a player before finalk TC
nevadasoutherner (9:54:12 PM): she's just never a target... i dunno how she pulls it off
onetz53 (9:54:27 PM): yeah, and she just finds the right group of people to plug into
onetz53 (9:54:30 PM): pretty impressive
nevadasoutherner (9:54:49 PM): i'm happy to see colby hanging in there since he sucked in all-stars
nevadasoutherner (9:55:06 PM): colby-jerri reunited will be interesting. i hope they work together!
onetz53 (9:55:17 PM): that'd be sweet
onetz53 (9:55:49 PM): I would love to see Sandra vote Rupert out in a merge situation...he might cry if that happened <3
nevadasoutherner (9:56:08 PM): sandra goddess <#33
onetz53 (9:56:16 PM): ugh I love her so much
nevadasoutherner (9:56:23 PM): courtney is soo funny with her russell impersonations
onetz53 (9:56:36 PM): I know!
nevadasoutherner (9:56:37 PM): fucking jerri idiot voting off rob... what a lame move
nevadasoutherner (9:56:47 PM): it's not like russell actually wants to keep her around
onetz53 (9:56:47 PM): yeah I don't get how that helps her
nevadasoutherner (9:56:55 PM): she had a set 5 that wanted her
nevadasoutherner (9:56:59 PM): why change that?
onetz53 (9:57:17 PM): she was just afraid of Rob longterm I guess
nevadasoutherner (9:58:51 PM): rob was fun
nevadasoutherner (9:58:56 PM): i just hate russell
nevadasoutherner (9:58:59 PM): soooooo much
onetz53 (9:59:19 PM): yeah his schtick about being the best ever got old 1 1/2 seasons ago
onetz53 (9:59:49 PM): my ideal scenario for the next episode is a merge where Courtney/Sandra join up with the heroes to vote Russell out
nevadasoutherner (9:59:58 PM): exactly!
nevadasoutherner (10:00:05 PM): but now there's more idols...
onetz53 (10:00:15 PM): and you can pretty much bank on him finding one
onetz53 (10:00:17 PM): so hooray
nevadasoutherner (10:00:24 PM): yeah, dammit
onetz53 (10:00:36 PM): WE'LL NEVER BE RID OF HIM
nevadasoutherner (10:00:45 PM): seriously
nevadasoutherner (10:00:49 PM): i'm tired of the russell show
onetz53 (10:01:02 PM): me tooo
nevadasoutherner (10:02:53 PM): and danielle is so worthless
nevadasoutherner (10:03:03 PM): although being the 3rd wheel is a pretty awesome strategy, i guess
nevadasoutherner (10:03:09 PM): if you want to go for a solid 5th place or so
onetz53 (10:03:20 PM): bah, Danielle...where was Twila in this cast?
nevadasoutherner (10:04:01 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (10:04:05 PM): she was such a bitch
onetz53 (10:04:43 PM): talk about an alluring accent <33
nevadasoutherner (10:04:48 PM): oh god...
nevadasoutherner (10:04:56 PM): you must have liked gillian's too! >_>
onetz53 (10:05:05 PM): YES!
onetz53 (10:05:25 PM): I have no idea where she was from, but it was the greatest old lady voice I've ever heard
nevadasoutherner (10:05:33 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (10:05:39 PM): i couldn't stand her
onetz53 (10:06:01 PM): but she was obsessed with elephant dung!
onetz53 (10:06:03 PM): massive love
nevadasoutherner (10:06:09 PM): hahaha
nevadasoutherner (10:06:16 PM): aren't you the donna lover too?
nevadasoutherner (10:06:17 PM): :-P
onetz53 (10:06:29 PM): that would be me, yes
onetz53 (10:07:05 PM): made an alumni video series called The Tom & Donna Show during the iS: Fans/Favorites season
onetz53 (10:07:12 PM): me and a blow-up doll with Donna's face on it
onetz53 (10:07:14 PM): it was great
nevadasoutherner (10:07:30 PM): HAHAHA
nevadasoutherner (10:07:37 PM): is that video still around?!
nevadasoutherner (10:07:40 PM): or one of them?!~
onetz53 (10:07:43 PM): oh yes
onetz53 (10:07:44 PM): :-)
nevadasoutherner (10:07:48 PM): share?
onetz53 (10:07:50 PM): hold on I'll link you
nevadasoutherner (10:07:54 PM): i gotta see this giant donna
nevadasoutherner (10:07:59 PM): ^_^
onetz53 (10:08:20 PM):
www.vimeo.com/5223648onetz53 (10:08:22 PM): see if that works
nevadasoutherner (10:08:55 PM): it works
onetz53 (10:09:13 PM): ok, sweet
nevadasoutherner (10:09:41 PM): haha you left the seat up
nevadasoutherner (10:09:46 PM): good job
onetz53 (10:09:55 PM): haha, never noticed that till now
nevadasoutherner (10:10:36 PM): SQUEEK
nevadasoutherner (10:10:38 PM): LMAOOOOOOOOO
onetz53 (10:10:59 PM): haha I think that was my best opening of the 3 I did
nevadasoutherner (10:11:00 PM): donna alien
nevadasoutherner (10:11:08 PM): oh my god
nevadasoutherner (10:11:17 PM): this is the best thing ive ever seen
onetz53 (10:11:24 PM): :-)
onetz53 (10:11:37 PM): I spend all my days wondering if the real Donna's ever seen these vids
onetz53 (10:11:44 PM): and what she would think if she did see them
nevadasoutherner (10:11:45 PM): hahaha i hope so!
onetz53 (10:12:28 PM): but yeah I just talk about the cast from that season and the goings-on from the first couple rounds, so maybe you'll find them educational as well as entertaining
onetz53 (10:12:28 PM): :-)
nevadasoutherner (10:12:59 PM): ok
nevadasoutherner (10:13:04 PM): this is the most heroic thing EVER
onetz53 (10:13:28 PM): haha, I appreciate that
nevadasoutherner (10:15:26 PM): this is actually helpful
nevadasoutherner (10:15:32 PM): just to hear the names and all that
nevadasoutherner (10:15:50 PM): since i know barely anything
onetz53 (10:15:56 PM): yeah, definitely
onetz53 (10:16:28 PM): I'm old-school iSurv1vor so I'm not as 'educated' myself on all the newer people
nevadasoutherner (10:16:44 PM): at least you know erin!
onetz53 (10:16:55 PM): and now you :-)
nevadasoutherner (10:16:59 PM): she's actually talked about you before while she was playing some big brother game
nevadasoutherner (10:17:04 PM): and you guys got like 4th and 5th
onetz53 (10:17:15 PM): YES...man that game was psycho
onetz53 (10:17:21 PM): she was like the only person I could rely on
nevadasoutherner (10:17:23 PM): donna was it ti, right?
onetz53 (10:17:27 PM): she was :-)
onetz53 (10:17:38 PM): sadly I had to vote her out...and then she got all pissed at me
onetz53 (10:17:39 PM): that was fun
nevadasoutherner (10:17:42 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (10:17:54 PM): yeah, erin always told me how you/her were so fucked over
onetz53 (10:18:27 PM): man, we totally were
onetz53 (10:18:32 PM): how we got 5th/4th is totally beyond me
nevadasoutherner (10:18:32 PM): was it big brother?
onetz53 (10:18:45 PM): no, it was Survivor
nevadasoutherner (10:20:28 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (10:20:32 PM): safakie
nevadasoutherner (10:20:36 PM): or whatever you said
onetz53 (10:20:50 PM): I still have no idea what that dude's name is
nevadasoutherner (10:20:54 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (10:21:55 PM): aw, bummer that you only lasted 3 episodes
onetz53 (10:22:21 PM): yeah I definitely wanted to go longer than that...but I got busy last summer and then just lost track of how the game went
nevadasoutherner (10:25:01 PM): it happens
nevadasoutherner (10:25:05 PM): that was really creative though
nevadasoutherner (10:25:11 PM): im sure you were a big hit with them!
onetz53 (10:25:24 PM): yeah it was fun while it lasted
onetz53 (10:25:40 PM): I made vid confessionals when I played All Stars and definitely wanna do it again this season
nevadasoutherner (10:25:48 PM): im gonna be doing that as well
onetz53 (10:25:55 PM): sweet
nevadasoutherner (10:25:58 PM): it's just fun, and way easier than typing!
onetz53 (10:26:04 PM): totally!
nevadasoutherner (10:26:10 PM): except, i'll probably only get to make one now that me/erin are playing
nevadasoutherner (10:26:15 PM): since i'll be first boot
nevadasoutherner (10:26:15 PM): FML
onetz53 (10:26:24 PM): noooo
nevadasoutherner (10:26:31 PM): i really hope not!
onetz53 (10:26:39 PM): Heroes aint ever gonna lose, remember?
nevadasoutherner (10:26:44 PM): right!
onetz53 (10:27:26 PM): and besides, I would definitely do my best to keep her/you in the game....I trust her 100% and if you're tight with her, I'd trust you as well
nevadasoutherner (10:28:03 PM): well usually what happens is, everyone assumes we are working together, so it sorta leaves us with no choice but to work together
nevadasoutherner (10:28:19 PM): im coming into this open for anything
nevadasoutherner (10:28:25 PM): and i really really mean that
nevadasoutherner (10:28:51 PM): i just want to play. i can't get enough of it, and this heroes vs villains kick is like a dream come true
onetz53 (10:29:11 PM): well like I said it's probably gonna be a real coupley tribe, so don't think there's this massive spotlight on you two only
onetz53 (10:29:16 PM): but yeah, I'm stoked to play this game as well
nevadasoutherner (10:29:46 PM): yeah, i wont worry.
nevadasoutherner (10:29:53 PM): and yep, tomorrow is the big day
nevadasoutherner (10:29:59 PM): hopefully people on our tribe use skype?
nevadasoutherner (10:30:06 PM): because that makes it way fun as well
onetz53 (10:30:20 PM): yeah, for sure
onetz53 (10:30:55 PM): I think Morgan's self-conscious about her voice so I don't foresee her being on Skype anytime soon
onetz53 (10:30:57 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (10:31:06 PM): yeah, she told me that :-(
nevadasoutherner (10:31:08 PM): but that's ok
nevadasoutherner (10:31:17 PM): i hate my voice too... most people do
nevadasoutherner (10:31:29 PM): i called into zack and alyssa's radio show though... lol
onetz53 (10:31:31 PM): yeah, I used to hate mine...but have gotten used to it and am fine now
onetz53 (10:31:39 PM): yeah I remember that!
nevadasoutherner (10:31:43 PM): they are so mean, they're like "ok, we're hanging up on you BYE!"
onetz53 (10:31:47 PM): I wanted to but I have no service at my house
nevadasoutherner (10:31:57 PM): yeah bummer
nevadasoutherner (10:32:09 PM): the radio show is fun
onetz53 (10:32:17 PM): I hope they do more, but I doubt it now that neither are gonna be cast
nevadasoutherner (10:32:30 PM): yah, alyssa seemed totally uniterested
nevadasoutherner (10:32:39 PM): uninterested*
nevadasoutherner (10:32:43 PM): or is it disinterested?
nevadasoutherner (10:32:46 PM): >_<
nevadasoutherner (10:32:53 PM): i'm not an english major... forgive me
onetz53 (10:32:55 PM): I think it can be either
onetz53 (10:33:00 PM): haha I'm an English major but have no idea myself
nevadasoutherner (10:33:05 PM): haha!

onetz53 (10:34:38 PM): over the past year I've been writing a novel and hope to find someone get interested in that for me
nevadasoutherner (10:34:45 PM): there's a census? >_>
onetz53 (10:35:11 PM): hahaha
nevadasoutherner (10:35:23 PM): ohhh, so you want to get it published?
onetz53 (10:35:36 PM): totally
nevadasoutherner (10:35:39 PM): nice!
onetz53 (10:35:40 PM): my ultimate dream in life right now
nevadasoutherner (10:35:52 PM): my brother actually is an english major and he graduated ... last may as well
nevadasoutherner (10:36:05 PM): and he interned for this lady who finds writers and gets their stuff published
nevadasoutherner (10:36:09 PM): is that what a publicist is?
onetz53 (10:36:53 PM): I think those are literary agents
nevadasoutherner (10:36:56 PM): yes!
nevadasoutherner (10:36:58 PM): that's it
onetz53 (10:37:06 PM): ok, wasn't sure if that's what you were talking about
nevadasoutherner (10:37:21 PM): so yeah, you need to find one of those!
nevadasoutherner (10:37:25 PM): what genre is your novel?
onetz53 (10:38:10 PM): it's kinda multi-genre...it's a spiritual/inspirational story at its core, but its also young adult with a little mystery/romance thrown in there too
nevadasoutherner (10:38:33 PM): nice! i think that's so cool!
nevadasoutherner (10:38:50 PM): it's just something so few people can ever say they accomplished.
onetz53 (10:39:03 PM): yeah, totally
onetz53 (10:39:18 PM): even if it takes me years to get published, at least it's written
nevadasoutherner (10:39:23 PM): yeah
nevadasoutherner (10:40:33 PM): just don't become one of those creepers with 15 cats who moves to the woods and sits in a log cabin alone just writing, and never changes out of a bath robe, and doesn't sleep
onetz53 (10:41:07 PM): haha, I will do my best to avoid that fate
nevadasoutherner (10:41:13 PM): lol
nevadasoutherner (10:41:42 PM): i'm really jealous you are done w school
nevadasoutherner (10:41:50 PM): as i sit here working on this annoying project
onetz53 (10:42:17 PM): yeah man the freedom is amazing
onetz53 (10:42:28 PM): although lately I've gotten kinda restless
onetz53 (10:42:41 PM): part of me insanely misses the routine of school
nevadasoutherner (10:42:52 PM): does time go by slower?
onetz53 (10:43:34 PM): it went ridiculously slow as I tried to find a job for 7 months
onetz53 (10:43:35 PM): that sucked
nevadasoutherner (10:43:55 PM): job hunting is the worst!
onetz53 (10:44:02 PM): ugh I hate it
onetz53 (10:44:13 PM): I dread going back into that phase after this census job ends in 2 months
nevadasoutherner (10:44:38 PM): ugh, i'm guessing it's not a super-friendly job market right now for english majors
onetz53 (10:44:50 PM): not particularly
nevadasoutherner (10:44:58 PM): i'm actually working at olive garden during school, just like sandy... so i'm lucky to have a semi-steady income from that
nevadasoutherner (10:45:12 PM): and i'm just gonna fall back on that while i try to find a job =\
onetz53 (10:45:24 PM): oh you're at OG too?
onetz53 (10:45:28 PM): haha sweet
nevadasoutherner (10:45:42 PM): yeah, sandy and i just realized it like 2 weeks ago

onetz53 (10:46:37 PM): wow, interesting
onetz53 (10:46:49 PM): do you like working there?
nevadasoutherner (10:48:07 PM): yeah, the people i work with are really cool. the people we have to deal with... aren't so cool. but it's nice. i'm starting to realize my current group of friends is full of drama and crap, so sometimes it's a good escape from dealing with that on a friday night...
onetz53 (10:48:36 PM): yeah, totally
nevadasoutherner (10:48:43 PM): and i'm actually doing meteorology, which is why i want to move to florida

nevadasoutherner (10:49:25 PM): yeah, i've always been fascinated by weather stuff, ever since i was a kid

nevadasoutherner (10:50:18 PM): its sunny and hot all summer
nevadasoutherner (10:50:26 PM): nothing interesting, like in the southeast <3
nevadasoutherner (10:50:32 PM): i love thunderstorms so much
onetz53 (10:50:55 PM): yeah I enjoy a nice thunderstorm as well
onetz53 (10:51:00 PM): living here is weird
onetz53 (10:51:11 PM): a couple years ago we literally went like 8 months without rain
onetz53 (10:51:16 PM): severest drought ever
nevadasoutherner (10:51:23 PM): yeah, and then your governor like prayed for rain
nevadasoutherner (10:51:25 PM): and it came
onetz53 (10:51:26 PM): and then this past year it's been raining like multiple times a week
nevadasoutherner (10:51:31 PM): i remember seeing that on the weather channel
onetz53 (10:51:38 PM): yeah, I remember that
nevadasoutherner (10:51:47 PM): haha yeah, they kept showing lake lanier all dry, which i guess is near atlanta?
onetz53 (10:51:55 PM): yeah
nevadasoutherner (10:52:03 PM): is that kinda where you are (atlanta) ?
onetz53 (10:52:09 PM): I assume it's back up to acceptable levels now, with all the rain we've gotten lately
onetz53 (10:52:21 PM): yeah, I'm like 90 min NE of Atl
nevadasoutherner (10:53:03 PM): nice
onetz53 (10:53:55 PM): eh, I'd rather be 90 min NE of LA...haha, but it's not so bad I guess
nevadasoutherner (10:54:07 PM): hahahaha
nevadasoutherner (10:54:15 PM): do you know the exact city name you may move to?
nevadasoutherner (10:54:20 PM): i'm pretty familiar with the area down there
onetz53 (10:55:10 PM): hmm...hold on lemme check
nevadasoutherner (10:55:13 PM): ok
onetz53 (10:55:36 PM): do you know where Biola University is?
nevadasoutherner (10:56:03 PM): yes!
nevadasoutherner (10:56:17 PM): that's between where i grew up, and LA
onetz53 (10:56:22 PM): ok, yeah my friend goes there so it'd be in that area
nevadasoutherner (10:56:27 PM): nice
nevadasoutherner (10:57:06 PM): a lot of people from my high school went there
nevadasoutherner (10:57:21 PM): we were in a really conservative/christian area
onetz53 (10:57:52 PM): those places exist in CA?
onetz53 (10:57:53 PM): haha
nevadasoutherner (10:58:02 PM): oh, totally
nevadasoutherner (10:58:10 PM): most of CA, area-wise, is conservative
nevadasoutherner (10:58:16 PM): it's just the big cities that are flaming liberal
nevadasoutherner (10:58:29 PM): and since the population of those is way higher than everything else, we're outnumbered
nevadasoutherner (10:58:42 PM): i'm very much more on the conservative side
nevadasoutherner (10:58:46 PM): it's really frustrating
onetz53 (10:59:06 PM): sweet, I'd def tilt toward the cons side as well
nevadasoutherner (10:59:07 PM): im technically still a CA resident, so my vote doesn't ever mean shit
nevadasoutherner (11:00:31 PM): im not super right wing, but yeah, more that way for sure
onetz53 (11:01:43 PM): yeah me either...I can't stand the hardcore people on either side to be honest
nevadasoutherner (11:03:19 PM): yeah, most of them just put on an act for the sake of being extreme
nevadasoutherner (11:03:28 PM): and yeah, this is basically the california breakdown
nevadasoutherner (11:03:29 PM):
www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2002/pages/maps/ca.gov.jpgnevadasoutherner (11:04:02 PM): all the hippes are the ones who are along the northern coast
