Taziker, Sportsmanship, icy upper arm pit joints, and Abu

Day 26 and we have the introduction of a new cast member: Taziker*

So it’s an interesting day as far as emotions are concerned. It was suckier than ever to see Adam go (pardon my worsening grammar). He did pose a huge mental threat in my opinion, but it is a game. He understood this and went out with an incredibly honorable attitude. He wrote a note for everyone to part peacefully and in a light hearted tone. I absolutely admire him for it because I’m not sure how I would have handled that situation. Not to mention he returned to the dorm bearing gifts. I’m glad I can look forward to hanging out with him as a friend in about a week.

I think me Alyssa and Jon have a unique chemistry in this dorm. I’ve noticed Jon becoming more and more outgoing since when he first arrived, and I find him extremely charismatic. He and Alyssa got to go to the Giant’s Training Camp this evening, which I had overcomed being bitter about, not that I wasn’t jealous that they could leave the dorm. But it was weird being in here all by myself, I was chillen on the couch watching T.V. and the dinner rush walked outside the mall window just kind of watching me watch T.V. Bizarre. Marissa called me for an interview and asked if I had the opportunity to discuss any game strategy with myself while I had privacy. She realized I was bored and thus came by to visit which was nice because I thoroughly enjoy her ever-present sarcasm. But from here on out I’m given her the icy upper-armpit joint*

I question how close Jon and Alyssa have become between their massage date and Training Camp adventure, but I’m not terribly concerned. We still have the whole weekend and a perks challenge to go through before the immunity challenge which is when I really need to figure out how I’m gonna pair up with whom. It seems a little early for them to form any sort of alliance, plus a lot can happen even in a small glass dorm room in a matter of hours.

Upon the return of Jon and Alyssa we watched some T.V. and I fell asleep. I wasn’t feeling so hot for a little – woke up in a sweat. I think its mentality breaking through my skin so to speak. I fell into a strange mood for a while. It’s probably unhealthy to go without any form of physcial affection for so long. But it seemed to me like I was on the outside of the three of us remaning and it was just a little uneasiness I was playing around with. It passed and I’m trying to keep my head up. I’m just tired but maybe this weekend I can do some push-ups and abs to revitalize my body. I hate feeling like a vegetable in here. Maybe I’ll get some special visitors. It’s strange to say – but I even miss Abu*

I’ll be sure to attempt a profound script tomorrow.
Big shout out to Sue, Angelo, Daniella, Nikki and Christina – can’t wait for the brownies.
