Sorry I have been a bit slow getting this done but I have had some comp issues to deal with.
Audrey : Very nice girl playing a strong social game. It doesn't surprise me at all that she won this HOH based on popular vote as she has been talking to everyone. I think she is very sweet but she did do something to annoy me during the organization of the HOH ( more on that later ) It was no big deal but I was extremely sleep deprived and didn't like having to wait all day for a no show and then be told..to still wait...fortunately she was so sweet and sounded sincerely sorry when I explained my circumstances so I think we are ok. I know I am fine with her.
Jackie : Funny, active socially and very reliable. I was impressed that she showed up exactly when she said she would and she seems like the type of person that likes to get the job done which I like. She did seem a bit concerned that a few people hadn't spoken with her yet and I can understand that once the game has really started and especially if I know they are talking to everyone else, but these particular people are not really online very much. One of them, Aisha had been sending another Jackie Ibarra messages but that one was not able to get offlines so I straightened it out.
Johnny : Very cool guy. Casual and fun but we haven't had as much time to chat as I have with the rest of my team. I think I hit pay dirt with team America BTW.
I just wanted to say that I love this team because we are all active and work well together but this first HOH ( Search and Destroy ) was a real challenge to deal with so early in the game. I found the hardest part was co-coordinating the parts we were each going to do.

) " but now I want to wait until Johnny Mac is here too so we can all talk about our parts" OMFG !!!!!!! Nobody knew when he would arrive or even IF he would so I asked Kat how long the challenge would actually take once we started. Once we knew it was possible to do it in a short amount of time it made sense for us all to do it the next day. Jackie and I agreed to do the posting and meet between 10 and 11. am. I got up early and was ready to go . Jackie and I were just about to start when I got an IM from Aisha and...my comp crashed . Now it was me that was causing the delay. I had just told Jackie we could start any minute and it took me at least half an hour to get another computer up and running. I think Jackie and Audrey found it odd that I was so tired and wanted to get to bed at 9:45 on a Friday night as they asked me where I lived and why I went to bed so early. They are on the west coast so it was like 6:45. I had to tell them something I didnt really want to get into but I had spent the night before in the ER with a torn muscle ( I asked them not to put it in their DR ) but something tells me it will end up in here anyway so i am going to say it myself ...and i was in serious pain because it is in my chest wall..behind my boob which hurts like hell and when I take the pain pills I cant function and have to go to bed..so all in all it was a freaking nightmare having to stay up and wait for Audrey all day only to have her change her mind and decide to ask me to wait even longer because as far as she was concerned it wasn't that late. I wish I had not been put in a position where I had to explain myself like that but once she knew why I was so anxious to leave she seemed to actually feel badly for holding me up all day ( I say " seemed" ) I don't want her to feel badly but I want her to know that I don't go to bed at 9 every night and that I can be counted on to do my part and stay up to do comps even if it means staying up til daylight. Hopefully this didn't do any damage to our relationship. I have talked with her since and think she is a very nice person but there will always be a part of me that wonders if i would have been a nominee had I not been immune.
