Week 12 - Howard needs a pacifier

[Steve]

So I'm still on vacation so I'll be able to do HOH tonight. Meanwhile Howard messaged me going off about how I didn't wait up to talk to him. And he started getting pre argument heated, making the case I could've spent now (the time at the beach) to go back and forth until I could convince him that howards a bigger threat than Arlie. I don't think Howard meant what he said and he was just doing a random "cover my own ass" moment. But it's too late in the game to just outright forgive him, save him, and then have him still go home 2-1. He said he'd message me that night. I waited till 1am then fell alseep, he didn't message me till 4am and was complaining because I had today.

Bro. I love you, but take a chill pill, and prepare yourself to convince others to vote for me
im the end.

Also, I've been having a day long mental breakdown on the Jcink boards. I'm two mess ups away from talking about my father issues.

Poor Arlie asking me not to nominate him, saying he'd prefer not to go up. I don't wanna be outright rude and say well his preference doesn't matter that much, but it doesn't. Really only acceptable noms are him and Cass. With the intent to get out Cass, because there's no use in causing problems with Kelsey and Shelli before they compete for HOH in the final 4.

Arlie - "point is, I don't really appreciate the idea of getting tossed around/thrown up like "the guy people don't talk to that you can just throw up without consequences" when that's just not true"

If you weren't so easily tossed around and thrown up all the time and the people who nominated him never had any consequences, I would take his speech seriously.


He's never been nominated and the house went "OH HELL NO WE NEED REVENGE"

"and you have to understand that I think it would send a better message to be unafraid of possibly upsetting one person that probably wouldn't have you as their first choice and keep 2 allies safe than to flat out risk an ally going home on account of "what if X gets mad at me?""

Arlie is a robot running on Windows 98 because this kid is lagging

I've been editing this post on my phone all day so ignore my lack of structure. I've been sending Arlie coded binary messages because his roboself should be able to translate it.

Okay. So his total campaigning time to me reached two hours and thirty minutes of him saying "don't put up me put up kelsey i'm helping YOU" and me going "Nah". Like seriously, it's not that he couldn't take a hint, it's that he outright refused to accept it. Continuing to say that I need to wait until later so I can talk to Shelli and have her tell me how it's a bad idea. Then it went to him saying he's tired of being treated like this, and he matters too. Then it went to him saying that I'm letting Kelsey bully me into making my noms. I asked why and he said because she wants him up. I said well you want her up, so I put her up wouldn't you just be bullying me into making my nominations? He said well I have to choose one of us. So I did lol.


I was so frustrated, because he literally wouldn't let me do it. Like fuck. I wanted Cass to go this week, but I don't know if I can handle another week of talking game with Arlie.
