Here I am, just wedged under a fallen tree, no big deal. I think that it's an elm but I'm no arboriculturist. We're strategizing a lot, the tree and I. Afterall, there's only so much you can talk about before the conversation circles back to the game. We made an alliance to the end but I don't know if I believe it... this tree seems "shady." ;D God I'm funny.

Now to find out what's inside this box.

Obtaining the Blinding Light Prize is huge and if I play my cards correctly, it's a tool that could win me the game.

What I'm holding here is pretty much the ultimate trump card, just because of the immense power that it carries. Knives, pistols and even shields can be rendered useless in it's wake.

And even if I never end up needing to use it, just having something like this in my possession is a Godsend because this is the last thing I'd want falling into the wrong hands.

When Liberty lost the challenge I couldn't have been happier, not because I was rooting for the other tribe necessarily, but because I honestly can't wait to hook back up with Ben, Colleen and Dominic.

Ben especially; I've been separated from him for a while and I've really missed his energy. He was the heart of original Ellis and it'll be so nice to see his smiling face again.

Of course I'd absolutely have loved to have seen Ryan again too, don't get me wrong. The truth is, I probably miss her more than anyone, but going back to Ellis would have likely meant going back to a minority, and that's a position I definitely would not have wanted to find myself in.

Being all by myself for the past few days has been both a blessing and a curse. I've had a lot of time to meditate and get a clear head and I'm really feeling confident about the future. On the other hand, isolation has never been my forte; I'm a people person, and I'm ready to get back into the social game.
