Wow. Nice, relaxed day today. First, I have to say I've cooled down over Vernon. Yeah, I'm not happy about it, but I don't have to be angry about it. Whether I TRUST him is a completely different matter, but I can say I probably will be able to deal with it if I ever get in a game with him again.
Second, I finished one of my favorite fastings ever. And no, it wasn't my favorite because I got 10th. It was quick, almost entirely free of inactives, and full of funny and interesting people. One contestant, Avalon, was nommed. They didn't do anything wrong, I guess they were just in the wrong place at the wrote time. But they survived their eviction by a wide margin. Avalon was nommed again. He survived again near-unanimously. Avalon was nommed again. He survived. The "Avalon Curse" spread. NOBODY was able to survive against Avalon on the block. Eventually I think we started nomming him just as a running gag. I joined a chatzy just to watch. Eventually, Avalon was voted out by the randomizer after surviving SEVEN nominations.Wow.

All in all, it's nice to see the lighter, happier side of tengaged without all the drama and hatred from earlier. After all, (and I realize I may be breaking one of the cardinal sins of reality TV by mentioning this), I DID in fact come here to make friends. Today showed that I just may be successful.
