Well, i'm not going to do too much right now in terms of confessing or talking to people today. See, yesterday I spent the whole day, 9 hours at the hospital after I got the news that my grandfather, who has been pretty sick for months and declining slowly since the summer and pretty rapidly since new years, was put on straight hospice care. Basically, comfort measures only. He had a fever and nothing they could give him was saving him, and he was 86 years old and never wanted anything like that.
I'm not going to get into it too much, but he did end up lasting that day until I was too tired to stay at the hospital yet too wired to sleep if I did.
I really don't want to make this about my IRL issues or how terrible this month has been, but somehow its relevant and as I just got the news a few minutes ago that he finally passed and m just waiting for more phone calls or something, I can't bring myself to not talk about it or cut it out.
So yesterday I didn't involve myself with the game because of all that ws going on, and when I got home I just really could not put up with dealing with people any more than BSing with my friends if I saw them on or helping people if they IMed me for it. But this game, while great, was on my avoid list for a bit. I got a little info on my main from some friends (this was after I got about all the sleep I was able to, 3 hours) but I wasn't really interested in making alliances and stuff.
Then Jerri IMs me as I was going to see about trying to get more sleep and was like "hey... I have a wake in 6 hours and I can't sleep. Let me rant it out?" so I got on Skype and she talked about the close family friend who passed and I vented my entire week (and this is the first i've been home alone during a 3am Skype call so I could actually speak up, so I actually got to REALLY vent for once) and then she brought up this other game we are in, which is the only game I would really talk game about because it actually is basically a joke and I have been playing just to fill a spot and make sure no one fucks up this character by being nice or non-batshit.
So somehow we talked about the stupid Pirates and Robots (ninjas are lame) game for 3 hours, the longest anyone has ever given a game where "PM each other and write a 100 word confessional" is an elimination challenge thought. We basically came up with elaborate plans to piss off a single person and laughed stupidly for hours and it was exactly what I needed.
And then Jerri mentioned this game and I ended up slipping up in my denial, so he was already devising plans to figure me out and tell Sophie all about it because Sophie sent him on a "find out who she's playing" mission which is hilarious because it clearly means nothing good is coming from it when she does find out.
"If I tell you I AM in it will you tell Bella i'm not?
"
"Bitch banned me from Backlash All Stars, so sure! WHO ARE YOU."
"On your tribe."
"You aren't... oh god. Are you Eliza?"
"Nope."
"Bubba?"
"No."
"...Eric?"
"Not Eric."
"...please tell me you are NOT LINDSEY"
(Exactly what Bob Dawg said btw)
"Loooooooool"
"OMG"
So as soon as Jerri found me out she's already like WHAT'S WITH ALL THE CONFESSIONALS? ("Bus ride and hotel incident. I was bored and pissed off about life.") And the then OMG F2 YAY!!! HERE'S MY ALLIANCE and she listed off basically everyone on this tribe I would have defaulted to killing and now I am aligned with them officially somehow thanks to a friend who confessed she was targeting me before that.
I'm not happy with that in the open since I didn't want to work with any of these people, but I will take it. I guess.
I dunno. I get the feeling I wont have time to work too hard at the moment, and I have to run now, but i'll try updating bootlists and thoughts on the game when I can.
Before that though I have to write 3 100 word confessionals for Robots, because I told the host I was going to help my ally and my worst enemy i'm drawing out torment against (playing GlaDOS, can't just kill people who minorly annoy you at the start. Have to torment them while giving them everything they need to kill you and win) through the elimination challenge to make sure they were safe.
