EPISODE I
”The kitchen is where she belongs!”  Episode title, a quote from the conversation between me and Jay last night where we were talking about reasons why Julie Chen is a worst host than Jeff Probst. Controversial topics for the win.
Anyways, the game has already started, in a sense. I mean we have had three days to socialize and get to know twenty-six other people. This means that everyone could have all kinds of relationships set already, which is scary because where does that put someone like me? I have talked to a couple of people, of course, but the majority of people are either not online when I am or seem not interested in carrying a conversation with me.
The “team” picking activity was somewhat telling. I think the people on the second tribe have something going on between them, there is no way they would all just pick the same tribe if they didn’t have something in mind. I think Sydney/Chelsea is aligned with Sandra, because of something I heard off-game, but I am not going to make any assumptions… yet.
As for me? I chose Team number one. My main thought process was that a lot of the people I knew were in it, so if this ended being the tribes [which somehow, I doubt] then I might have a good shot at survival despite missing the beginning of the challenge [volleyball is my life, so that goes before this, obviously].
However, I already have a crazy theory about things… I believe that either the teams compete against each other so we can get a team-captain from each to choose tribes or that we are having nine tribes of three that would be made by the numbers we chose. My first guess is because every season of this series, there has been someone picking tribes, it would be off to end such a tradition so early into the series.
For now I love Jay, and he is someone I would absolutely want on my tribe. Cochran and Shawna as well because we have bonded. Tom is someone I know very well off game so I know if I revealed my alias he would be on my side, he always is, but I don’t want to take advantage of him like that, especially considering the fact that I know for a fact he is aligned to Matty and Matty always uses him really hardcore, which sucks because Tom is such a sweetheart.
I guess that’s all for now, just wanted to make an introductory post and start this off already. Eventually I will post confessionals as “Semhar” in character, that is and I also plan on doing a recap of each episode as if it was a story. But we will see how that goes, it all depends on how busy I get during my last two weeks before Spring Break.
Wish me luck! AND feel free to chat with me, I love hearing from you guys <3 |

I would absolutely never leave things to randomness, it's better to take things on your own hands. I would pick Jay, Shawna, Cochran for sure. Penner, Tom, Chelsea [to separate the duos]. Tammy sounds pretty legit, so probably her and... a random girl to vote out fast.

Semhar Hey Tammy! Tammy Hi Semhar! How's it going? Semhar Pretty good, and you? Tammy I'm doing great. Good luck at your volleyball game tonight! Semhar Thank you! I am hoping for a victory. I am sure I will be back to help at some point though. Tammy That's fine! Give it your all tonight! We'll pull through with your spirit. :-) Semhar I have confidence on your guys, everyone seems so strong on our tribe. Tammy I agree, I have a lot of faith we'll pull through. Semhar Have you gotten to know a lot of the others? Tammy I spoke with Tom, Chase and Cochran for a little while. Just small talk, and introductions. Semhar I like Cochran, he is nice. Chase has yet to reply to my IM's. Tammy Yeah, I haven't spoken with Chase since at least Friday Semhar Is he nice though? Tammy Yeah, I'd say he's friendly. We didn't talk for long. Semhar That's good, though. Tammy Yeah, I'm definitely liking our little group. Semhar Me too, everyone so far has been kind and friendly, which is huge. Tammy I agree so much! I prefer things to be kept in a positive vibe. Semhar Absolutely, no need for pettiness or drama. Tammy So what brings you to Sausage Island? Semhar Well, you know, one day I was performing my spoken word on stage and the next I was invited to join by some scouting agent. I couldn't refuse! Such a huge adventure, and a chance to share my talent with the world. What's better than that? You? Tammy I wanted to come for the adventure too! I knew that if I came here, it'd be something that I never forgot. I think it's the perfect test: mentally, physically and spiritually. I watched the second season and I was like: I have to be apart of this! Semhar I watched the seasons after being casted, I had heard about it though. But I thought it would be smart to do my homework and see what I was going to be going into. Tammy Yeah, just so it prepares you for what's to come. I've already been caught off guard, though. I didn't expect 27 people! Semhar Me either, at all. I was one of the last ones to arrive but when I see all the people I was pretty shocked. This conversation isn't particularly important, BUT I figured you guys might enjoy the ending, where I admit to being a Mactress. I think this sets a beginning for the amazing story-arc of Semhar

Semhar, that's so sweet! I want to take you in as my protege, however, I fear you may have to stray from your spiritual path! Not a whole lot- don't worry.
You just need to learn to use what momma, and God for that matter, gave you.

EPISODE I
”The kitchen is where she belongs!” Your girl Semhar was right about the way tribes were going to be divided, I shared my theory with a bunch of people so I am sure others were suspicious about it as well. I am just happy to know that I figured that shit out, because I mean at least that means I am in tune with the game and can somewhat predict how things are going to go from a hosting point of view. Now it's time to pick tribes and I am a little nervous because due to my less than impressive performance in the challenge [and the fact my thread explaining my absence was deleted] I feel like either Aras picks me or I might be viewed as cannon fodder... so, I can't help but be nervous.
In all honesty I am hoping Chase picks a tribe similar to the team we had, because I have bonded a lot with the people in that team and I truly like most of them. Besides Matty, who is fucking weird, the rest are pretty decent and I have an easy time talking to them, so I think I will fit well with them. I want to be in a tribe that is social because that’s, in fact, my strongest point when playing, so if I-m paired up with people who are hard to have a conversation with or who don’t really understand how to socialize, my game might take a tumble.
I just can’t wait for tribes, this is the most nerve-wracking part of the game because the tribe you get picked on is going to determine whether you do good or bad. That’s the end of it, no other chances. Every season of this game it seems like someone gets screwed by the people they are placed with, and I don’t want to be that unfortunate soul.
So, I hope the Survivor Gods are with me on this one. Good tribe. Please. |

Did you win your game?

No. We lost by five points, I did got my knee fucked though. I have a really bad knee and I dived for a ball thinking my team will save it but the assholes didn't even move. But it was really close, even though my team wasn't trying, I know had they actually given it their all we would have won. But it was like they didn't care, which was the whole season long, so next quarter I am going to get a new team because I hate losing  Thanks for asking though! |

EPISODE I
”The kitchen is where she belongs!” I most definitively feel like I’m abusing my confessional privileges, hopefully the right to write them will not get taken away anytime soon. I just wanted a quick update, and perhaps, if I find it in me present Semhar’s confessional style to the world. Perhaps.
First off allow me to say that I am very happy with my tribe… kind of, I mean I am glad I am with Chase and Shawna. That’s about it, and I truly like Mick BUT I am not excited to have to get to know everyone else. ESPECIALLY Brenda, because judging by her posts around the board she is a whore and I hate when people flirt in online games, because first off it’s pathetic, do you look like Brenda Lowe? No. Are you attractive in real life? Probably not. Are you going to offer something else to the game? Doubtful. So, basically you just annoy me and make the stupid, horny people that play these games fall for you and then it’s a mess I have to clean up. So, Brenda has to go soon.
Sophie is borderline inactive and Amber is probably dull, because she chose someone like Amber when she could have picked SO many other more interesting people. Gregg, from what Shawna said, is kind of rude, which means he will help my emotional train-wreck storyline. And Bobby Jon apparently likes to kill people and likes pandas, we might get along because we have one thing in common, and it’s probably not the one you are thinking of.
Was that a tribe debriefing? For now, yeah. I am trying to be social with Shawna, Mick and Chase [who for some reason I keep wanting to call Aras] and get to know them since they are all admittedly people who stay up late [when I am online the most] so they are the people whose good side I need to be on. They might even be the alliance who I completely fuck over with my emotional nature! Wouldn’t that be funny?
Anyways, I have not got much more to say, besides I hope you guys are enjoying me so far and that you like my poems and verses [and my freestyle verse battle with Brett]. I am really excited for what is to come, so hopefully I get to expand on my character a lot more now that tribes are chosen.
I just need more reasons to show my emotional side... |

Despite the fact that I am quite enjoying the Mike-ownage over "Host Amanda" I am very tempted to post this:
"I don't mean to intrude or anything, but all the negative energy here is rather upsetting. Is there a way we can keep the board fight-free? It doesn't matter who did what, because in the end you are both hurting each other. Let's keep this board fun for everyone and keep a kind spirit when treating and talking to others. Please? "
Simply to start showing my emotional side, but would it be the appropriate time?
