Try as you might
You could guess day and night
But you'll never know who I might be :)
I got a bunch of messages asking if I came back, so I figured I would pop in and wish everyone well. Thanks for the thoughts, hope you guys are making the most of everything and keep smiling!
So first I want to say thank you to all of the nice mails and blogs that were written today. They were really nice and I may not be able to respond to all of them, but I'm grateful for the kind words that were said. Remember at the end of the day, good or bad, that game and this site are simply games and won't change anything in the long run - don't spend your energy being upset or mad about things like that, they're not a big deal in the grand scheme of things!
So today ended a pretty long chapter in my time on the site. I honestly never thought it would last that long, I think in my 3rd merge my tribe merged down 3-7 and my allies got picked off right away... Things turned around merging in this streak down 3-7 twice rather early on, and I'm surprised that I made it to the hall of fame and to eventually beat my good friend Pepper's streak as well. Of course everyone plays a game to do well, but I'm just as surprised as anyone else that I made it as long as I did.
I'm not mad at anybody that voted for me, they did exactly what I would have done and have done in their position. It was a smart and strategic move, I saw it coming and didn't feel like dodging bullets anymore. Gaston and I agreed a long time ago that after this game ended we would both be ready to move on from the site... over a year later that finally happened. We wanted to ride it out and see how long we could make it in the game, and somehow we got to this point so that's pretty cool. I'm personally not leaving out of any bitterness or anything like that, so please don't think that.
When I joined this site, I was missing something in my life. I've definitely found what I was missing and have been on such a positive path in my life in the past year and I'm ready to move forward, and to me that means leaving this site behind. There are a ton of people that I have met and become friends with, complete strangers that love me or hate me or couldn't care less either way, and I think that's made this experience the most interesting.
With that being said, the major purpose of this blog is to say thank you to one person, but a few quick things before that:
To MoreBeastThanYou and itspipez: I really wouldn't be here without either of you. We made those first few merges together and I made my Kill Bill revenge promise and somehow, crazily enough, it ended up working. Bryan, you are one of the most amazing friends I've ever met and our friendship absolutely doesn't stop here. Thank you SO much for everything you do and have done for ME. You are incredibly selfless and I can't tell you how much you mean to me. Zack, I'm sorry for being unfair towards you. I can't change how I felt at the time about what was going on, but I wish I had expressed it better and in a way that made more sense. Hopefully one day we can talk again and at least be friends.
To jallina15, Markb101, sjsoccer88, GothicZebra, Snix, stoopkid95, Razorclaw13, Rebelman2227, milkisgood, many others that I am sure I am forgetting, you were key allies that I met in this game and people that I feel I developed true friendships with. Hopefully those won't stop if I manage to come on Skype from time to time, but I just want you to realize how thankful I am that I did get the chance to meet you guys during that merge streak.
To Gabriel24, Shadowballer000, and xbac5: You are the three allies that I managed to keep for a long time in the game that I already had a form of friendship with prior to the game. This game definitely tested our friendships at times but also definitely made them stronger. Thank you guys for all being awesome and continuing to be my friend. Playing the game would not have been the same without you.
To everyone else that helped along the way, whether I merged with you, or whether you were supportive in mails, whether you were cheering for my demise ( JordanLloydFanAquamarine congrats on your Christmas dreams coming true xoxo, maybe next year wish for something like the end of world hunger or some Xanax or something) or joining to try to take us down or joining to try and help us and merge with us, all of it kinda helped me keep going and encouraged me not to just give up and say "fuck it", although that was tempting a lot. The game was not nearly as stressful as my previous long merge, but it still had its very tough moments and sometimes it was hard to stick with it.
This blog is already way too long but the whole purpose of it was for one person, and that's Gaston so nobody else really HAS to read any of it but here's your name dumb bitch so read this Phenomanimal. We've both been on this site for forever but somehow never met until this Survivor game, but I couldn't have asked for a better ally or friend throughout the last year. Something just clicked right away once you merged on, and we worked our asses off strategically and socially to go as far as we did, even if other people don't think so :p I've never told you before, but it's honestly been so much fun to play with you and I can't imagine having done it without you. I think we both kept each other going through a lot of times when we individually just didn't give a shit anymore, and that kind of competitiveness got us to the top. But beyond all of the stupid records and the game itself, I was happy to meet someone who just understood my way of thinking without me having to over-explain myself. We compromised a lot, there were times where we did things we didn't want to do for the sake of the other and in the end it always worked. I'm leaving the game and the site, but I'm keeping a friend for a really really long time. Thank you for helping to make me laugh and smile everyday, and for being such a nice person deep down under your cunty exterior ;) There's nobody else that I would have rather had this ridiculous year+ long journey with and the only bittersweet thing about it ending is that you're ending your streak because of me, but I would have done the same thing :p
I guess thanks to anyone who bothered reading all of this, and to anyone that I've gotten to know throughout my time on the site. I've been ready to go for a while and this is finally the time! I work a lot and haven't been online too much lately but I'll possibly be on skype every now and then, though a lot less often - but keep in touch and I will too! If I made anyone laugh or smile at any point in my time on the site, then my work here is definitely done and my time wasn't a waste :)
