Out-of-Character Thoughts

[mikayla]

SCREW Proboards 5. Do you know many times I posted in the wrong forum on v4? None. Never. Not once. Do you know how many times I have done it on V5?

THREE. THREE TIMES, THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. 

So here's what I put out in public for everyone to see, thanks to the bitch forum screwing up my confessional: 

Seriously, I can't believe I got picked near to dead last. I was eighth overall in the first challenge, in the second-best tier, but who does our fearless leader pick second? Malcolm, who almost got himself eliminated.



I had to out myself to Phillip, which was a bitch move, but arguably for the best. Now I know about Stealth R Us, and they should have my back if I don't screw up challenges too badly, even though I'm not technically a part of it. The idea is that when Rob and Malcolm and LJ decide to turn on him for being a threat, they will come to people who are sociable like me, and try to use me to get him out. I'm not overly thrilled with the idea of essentially being bait, but I'll do what I have to do to survive for now. This twist makes it seem like there won't be any swaps pre-merge, which makes me just want to hang my head and cry. The other team has Allie the lifeless post monster, and just about everybody that I managed to get ahold of on AIM, so I'm in a really bad starting position right now. Though, on the other hand, the other team has everybody I hate, so if we manage to win enough times, then I might get lucky enough to see Andrea or Yve get sent home pre-merge. Wouldn't that be delightful?

Luckily only Allie saw it so I'm probably not in too much trouble. Yet.

I'm going to post confessionals in public just to screw with people. They won't contain anything that's strategically valuable, it'll just be me randomly talking about boring details of camp life. Seems like a foolish idea, but it can't make things worse.

Morgan's response:

This attempt at being funny proves a few things:

1. You are not funny.

2. You are man-crazy/a slut.

3. You have no idea how to use proper grammar.

4. You keep recycling the "Brandon in the bushes" joke because you cannot think of anything else aka you need new material.

5. Your insults are elementary school level, thus you are not a threat when it comes to word wars.



This does prove one other thing, you are not at my level thus I should find someone who has the wits to match mine and thus have hilarious cat-fights around the board. Consider yourself replaced.

Morgan's response, with proper grammar:

This attempt at being funny proves a few things:


    1. You are not funny.
^{1, 2}
    2. You are man-crazy, and/or a slut.
³
    3. You have no idea how to use proper grammar.

    4. You keep recycling the "Brandon in the bushes" joke because you cannot think of anything else. A.K.A., you need new material.
^{4, 5}
    5. Your insults are elementary-school-level,⁶ thus you are not a threat when it comes to verbal battles.⁷


This does prove one other thing:⁸ you are not at my level.⁹ Thus, I should find someone who has the wits to match mine and thus have hilarious catfights¹⁰ around the board. Consider yourself replaced.

Summary of grammatical errors: 

    1. Numbered or bullet-point lists should be given their own paragraph, don't put them immediately below the lead-in phrase.
    2. Numbered or bullet-point lists should be indented by hitting the tab key, to distinguish them from the larger body of text. 
    3. It's very sloppy to use a slash, rather than an appropriate verbal qualifier.
    4. Acronyms should always be capitalized. Also, since you're changing the subject here, use a period or comma to denote that.
    5. Missing comma after "A.K.A."
    6. "Elementary-school-level" is a single adjective, and should be hyphenated as such. Alternatively, you could say that they are "at an elementary school level," though this is far less effective. 
    7. "word wars" is stylistically inappropriate. The wittier "wars of words" or "verbal warfare" would make the sentence more alliterative, thus more intelligent.
    8. Using a comma to serve a colon's function.
    9. Run-on sentence. Better to split it here and begin the second sentence with "Thus." 
    10. "Catfights" is a colloquial term, and therefore not in the dictionary, but in traditional usage the word isn't hyphenated. 

Final grade: F, like your cup size.

Sweetheart, I was not counting. I mentioned two of the ones you corrected. I didn't say "THERE WERE ONLY TWO". It's funny how you keep insulting my intelligence, yet cannot type that sentence using what you tried to correct me for. Or use words that are more advanced than elementary-level, anyways I am kind of done here. I refuse to continue feeding into your need for attention, nor do I feel like it does me any good to argue with someone who is inferior. 

Just remember, you can't pit the John Hughes High School Wasps against the Patriots and expect them to win. Start small. 

madam i might be bad at grammar, but youre a dumb bitch and tomorrow I can take an English class. 

I just went all Winston Churchill on her ass.

Q: Mikayla, is it true that you promised your tribe you could make a gif of ghost Edna appear in the image?
A: Yes, that's true.
Q: How many gifs have you ever made?
A: One. 
Q: Was it in any way similar to this one?
A: Not even remotely. It was very bad. 
Q: So, let me get this straight. You promised your tribe that you'd provide something you had absolutely no idea how to make?
A: Pretty much.
Q: ...
A: Luckily I'm very good at teaching myself to do things I have no idea how to do. I just sat there staring at David's flappy flag from CYS9 and tried to think how he did it. 
Q: And that's how you figured it out? 
A: No. I seriously have no damn idea how he did it. I couldn't duplicate that properly, even if I actually had Photoshop. 
Q: ....
A:  But then I just said to myself, "Well, okay, if I can't do it properly, how can I do it improperly in a way that doesn't suck?" And then basically just guessed. 
Q:  Why did you volunteer for that if you don't have Photoshop? 
A: I'm insane, probably.

Let's get one thing straight, here. I'm protecting Phillip's ass. I'm his guardian angel. Well... can sluts be angels? Because if not, I'm his guardian slut, which doesn't really sound all that helpful. I'm the one who let him know he was a target, and he'd absolutely have been blindsided out this round if it hadn't been for me.

While I love Phillip, and while as his friend I would very much like to go to the end with him because we have never managed to pull it off ever, this is not the game for that to happen. Phil's had his wins, and I think he just wants to stick around long enough to save face. He knows this one isn't gonna happen, and it shows. When the time comes, I'll absolutely vote him off, and he probably knows that on some level. But does he deserve to go home just yet? No. Nobody deserves to go out early because a bunch of cowards were too afraid of their reputation to give them a fair shot. (*coughohyesyouabsolutelyknowimtalkingaboutcysascough*)

When Phil goes home, it's going to be because Mikayla decided it was time to send him home, and not a minute before. As far as I'm concerned, nobody else has earned the right to take him down. When he goes out, I want it to be by my hand. There's honor in being beaten by a worth adversary, and Phil's good enough that he doesn't have many of those left. I think he's a good enough sport that he'll appreciate it when it does happen.
