Let the games begin I guess. Honestly I had considered the possibility of a partners twist this season. I don't really have a working strategy for that part of it though.
To be honest, I haven't been as into the game as I normally would be. Monday morning, the day the game started, I got a call from one of my best friends sister in law. She told me that he had passed away. To say I didn't take it well is...an understatement. Once the numbness wore off and I accepted that it wasn't a bad dream (I got the call at 830 am while I was asleep), I said fuck it all. Canceled my responsibilities for the day and started drinking.
I listened to all the songs we used to party to and all the music he turned me on to. I remembered the good times, like when we had a blizzard so me, him, and the other guy that was part of our little brotherhood layered up and went rabbit hunting. They taught me how to use a shotgun for the first time. We tied trashcan lids to the back of one of our vehicles and went out to a pasture and got pulled around on the ice. I've only known him about two years but we got so close so quickly.
Later that night, after the challenge was posted and I had been drinking for most of the day, I turned on my computer. People from my tribe were messaging me about the game. Drunk me decided to run with it. I started a chat with me, Bob, Silas, and Spencer. I drunkenly tried to put together a majority alliance. It's working so well on Big Brother this year so I decided to give it a shot here. It didn't matter that I didn't really understand the twist this year or anything. I didn't care.
At first it wasn't really going smoothly, but later on I guess it went well enough. We all decided to vote on Jim because he's been the least active so far. I think that part was Bob's idea. Hopefully people stick with it and I didn't fuck myself. I'm really going to need this as a distraction for a little while at least. Before I went to bed, I drunkenly asked Bob to make a final 2 deal with me. He agreed, mostly because we have gotten to know each other a bit the past week. Hopefully he means it. He seems like a really good guy. I hope I can stick around long enough to show him that the me on Monday is not my usual self. I'm not nearly the basketcase I was the other day.
I'm really excited about this season. The first time I played an ORG was in 2003. I was 12 years old. I lied and said I was older. No one could prove me wrong. It was before Myspace was really a thing and a lot of people hadnt really uploaded pictures online. I've played on and off since then. My last ORG was in 2010 though. This hiatus has been quite a bit longer than the last few. Wish me luck everyone!
