[Stephanie]

I will be absent for the "get to know you" period because I'm visiting family this weekend. This concerns me a little bit, but I can't change my travel plans at this point and will just have to make the extra effort when I return. I hope the cliques don't start forming early, though, otherwise this could be a pretty short game for me. Here's hoping this is not the case.

Here's a chat I had with Kodie:

clarinetmusic08 (8:41:33 AM): Stephanie?
Slingback480 (8:41:41 AM): yes, hello.
clarinetmusic08 (8:41:52 AM): This is Kodie, from Hawaii
Slingback480 (8:41:59 AM): Hi nice to meet you.
clarinetmusic08 (8:42:04 AM): same to you
Slingback480 (8:42:13 AM): how are things?
clarinetmusic08 (8:42:23 AM): good good...and you?
Slingback480 (8:42:50 AM): I'm doing well, trying to figure out with Joel what to do for the challenge
Slingback480 (8:43:13 AM): I'm out of town this weekend. It wasn't a problem when the game was supposed to start next week, but now I am concerned
clarinetmusic08 (8:43:37 AM): oh....that doesn't do
Slingback480 (8:43:50 AM): no, I'm really nervous to miss out on key chatting time
clarinetmusic08 (8:44:06 AM): That is very much true
Slingback480 (8:44:28 AM): but I'm sure glad you're online now
Slingback480 (8:44:33 AM): so where are you from?
clarinetmusic08 (8:44:53 AM): Indiana
clarinetmusic08 (8:44:55 AM): and you?
Slingback480 (8:45:58 AM): California
clarinetmusic08 (8:46:06 AM): I so want to move there!
Slingback480 (8:46:21 AM): I highly recommend it
Slingback480 (8:46:40 AM): I'm originally from Oregon, but I did undergrad and now grad school out here, and it's amazing
Slingback480 (8:46:45 AM): I don't ever want to live anywhere else
clarinetmusic08 (8:47:28 AM): That's really cool
clarinetmusic08 (8:47:36 AM): I just want to go to a more tolerant place
Slingback480 (8:47:45 AM): tolerant of what?
clarinetmusic08 (8:47:49 AM): gay people
Slingback480 (8:47:54 AM): oh, I see.
Slingback480 (8:48:02 AM): Well, it depends what part of California you choose
Slingback480 (8:48:12 AM): Some of them can still be a little backward unfortunately
Slingback480 (8:48:16 AM): I'd recommend Southern CA
clarinetmusic08 (8:48:30 AM): I was thinking close to LA or San F.
Slingback480 (8:48:41 AM): I'm in L.A. at the moment
clarinetmusic08 (8:48:53 AM): Is it as weird as I hear all the time?
Slingback480 (8:49:05 AM): It's different
Slingback480 (8:49:12 AM): I've lived in two very different parts of CA
clarinetmusic08 (8:49:21 AM): interesting
Slingback480 (8:49:34 AM): I lived four years in Berkeley (hippie town USA) and now I've been here for two years
Slingback480 (8:49:44 AM): well, one and a half.
Slingback480 (8:50:00 AM): I don't mind living in a city, but it takes some getting used to.
Slingback480 (8:50:24 AM): How old are you?
clarinetmusic08 (8:50:27 AM): 22
Slingback480 (8:50:34 AM): Oh same here
clarinetmusic08 (8:50:51 AM): I have to admit, there are a lot of older people in this game
Slingback480 (8:50:58 AM): Is that not usual?
clarinetmusic08 (8:51:32 AM): I'm use to playing with 15-18 year-olds
clarinetmusic08 (8:51:54 AM): I'm going to have to act more like an adult, haha!
Slingback480 (8:52:15 AM): That's strange, I didn't think people so young would be allowed to play
Slingback480 (8:52:34 AM): I couldn't have handled Survivor when I was 15. I'm still not sure I can even handle it now (haha)
clarinetmusic08 (8:52:49 AM): I know what you mean...but those little bitches are mean as snakes
Slingback480 (8:53:25 AM): I'm intrigued by this cast
Slingback480 (8:53:38 AM): He found a very interesting group, from what it seems
clarinetmusic08 (8:53:44 AM): I agree
Slingback480 (8:53:59 AM): I can't believe there's a girl named "Chicken"
clarinetmusic08 (8:54:06 AM): I must admit that these are some of the coolest looking girls I've seen in a game
clarinetmusic08 (8:54:18 AM): Like the Survivor "Chicken"?
Slingback480 (8:54:26 AM): yes!
Slingback480 (8:54:33 AM): What a funny coincidence
clarinetmusic08 (8:54:46 AM): I know, right?
Slingback480 (8:54:54 AM): I hope it's a nickname
clarinetmusic08 (8:55:08 AM): I think I heard that her real name is Heather too
Slingback480 (8:55:11 AM): have you spoken to many of the others yet?
clarinetmusic08 (8:55:15 AM): no
Slingback480 (8:55:22 AM): me either.
Slingback480 (8:55:29 AM): I have to leave for class in a few minutes actually
Slingback480 (8:55:35 AM): I hope I'll catch a few more later on
clarinetmusic08 (8:55:48 AM): for sure!
Slingback480 (8:55:52 AM): Tomorrow morning I'm out of here at 5 am for the drive home.
clarinetmusic08 (8:55:58 AM): wow...eep!
clarinetmusic08 (8:56:11 AM): Well...I wish you luck...and have a safe trip if I don't talk to you again before you leave!
Slingback480 (8:56:20 AM): thank you.
Slingback480 (8:56:30 AM): It was really fun meeting you, I hope we get to be on the same tribe
clarinetmusic08 (8:56:43 AM): same back at you
clarinetmusic08 (8:56:45 AM): ttyl!
Slingback480 (8:56:51 AM): Take care, bye
