Smileeys | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 01:30 am   Well, I didn't feel jumped on until you said you were sorry for jumping on me I actually do get that they are not friends, etc. But, I still think if he betrayed my trust, I would not have went along with anything else he had to say - personal feelings aside. I just have a different opinion and I wanted to state it and to let Gina know I thought she had gotten her point accross. |
Smileeys | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 01:36 am   Also, I don't think winning a million dollars is the only reason some of them go on Survivor. I think that it is a great incentive and definitely for some the main or only reason they chose but I think many have other goals in mind, too. For her, I think much of her reasons for wanting to go on there had more to do with having an adventure and doing a once in a lifetime thing than winning a million bucks but that is JMO. |
Car54 | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 04:41 am   Smileeys, I wasn't jumping ON, just jumping IN . I think Kim was definitely in it for a change or adventure in her life, from her interviews. BTW, did you guys know she is 30? I thought she was about 23. |
Smileeys | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 05:04 pm   Okay, Glad you did, Car. This board has actually helped me in the "real world". I am able to be more vocal about my disagreeing with someone in real life without alienating, putting down, or having attitude that there is only one way (my way). But much of the time I would keep my mouth shut b/c I was afraid those things might happen but my experiences on this board have helped change that. I had no idea she was that old (which is same age as me so not really "old" anymore ), either! |
Car54 | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 05:51 pm   You are very articulate when you post. It took me about 5 months of reading before I got the courage to post anything for the same reason. I don't think 30 is old (actually tho, I took turning 30 so hard, my therapist at the time had to give me a free session for my birthday I was so depressed!) I just think of 30 yr olds as a bit more grown up than Kim seems to be. |
Awareinva | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 06:08 pm   This one hits close to home-- since I very recently turned (gulp) 39! I for one am thrilled to find out that KimP is 30! I have a tendency to view those younger than I am as near my own age. Just can't get that picture of myself as a 22 year old out of my head- no matter what the mirror says. Nothing worse than assuming your child's teacher is your age- then having it pointed out that she is 15 years younger!!! So KimP being 30 gives me a much needed ego boost! that along with my brilliant plan to remain 39 indefinitely  |
Car54 | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 06:46 pm   Aware, same here. I was depressed because NEVER in the preceding 29 years had it ever dawned on me I would EVER be 30, and I had not done ANY of the things I thought a 30 year old should have done! <hey, I AM like Kimp!> |
Hippyt | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 07:19 pm   I didn't know she is 30 either! She certainly doesn't act it! |
Spygirl | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 07:30 pm   I never thought that any birthdays would be hard, but, when I was home last week, I off-handedly told my mom and cousin that we would have to do something really fun for my thirtieth birthday...and then I cringed at the way that sounded. Really bothered me to say "my thirtieth birthday"...who knew??? |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 08:09 pm   I, for one, would kill to be in my 30's again. I wasn't bothered at all by turning 30, and my 30's were my best years, in my own opinion of course. Turning 40 however was major, and if had a time machine, I would use it. |
Urgrace | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 09:57 pm   Thirty is a terrific age to be! Ahh to be 30 again... The thirty-somethings are the best because you are not still young and stupid, you are young and finally getting life! You are not old and wise, you are just older and wiser! Have fun with your thirties! |
Scarlett | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 07:37 am   I was more depressed at 29. The "last year in my twenties" syndrome. I don't think KimP is immature; moreso just emotional. I understand why Brandon did not relay his intentions to her or Teresa. KimP would be upset at the strategic move to eliminate Kelly and Teresa probably would have made a move to eliminate him instead. Teresa is too smart not to recognize that such a brilliant move was from a player who could obviously be a bigger threat than she is. That being said....I think the move to eliminate KimP instead of Teresa lies in the "tight alliance" of KimJ and Lex. There is something Mark Burnett is not showing us, but Kim and Lex are tight by Lex's admission at the auction. Why would KimJ not tell Lex about the suprise move Teresa had planned for him to go next. Knowing his reaction to "betrayal" his first reaction would have been to slice Teresa up and spit her out. Yet that did not happen. I am wondering if there was a new alliance formed between Lex and Teresa/KimJ to rid themselves of the real threat....Ethan and his way too close ally Tom. If I were playing, at this point I would be taking one of those two out of play. They are too strong, likable, and worst of all---too tight. They have every intention of being final two together. Perhaps Lex formed an alliance with KimJ and Teresa to accomplish this feat. Then again, maybe I am just dreaming |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 09:41 am   Exactly Scarlet! Very well put. But do THEY see that? I have lost count of all the missed opportunities from this team. |
Awareinva | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 08:50 pm   Car, I agree. If KimJ was thinking (I know, I know- a true oxymoron! ) she would definitely not want to be sitting next to Ethan or Tom at final 2. Teresa or Lex-- different story. Love your scenario Scarlett- but I have to hope it just ain't so!!! I do so want Big Tom to win! But like I said earlier in this thread, will MamaK see the strategic move? These players seem to be trying to be honorable and have someone "deserving" win. Maybe MamaK could see the way Lex and T-bird are playing as deserving (they are playing the best strategy), but I doubt it. I think she will stick with "her boys". But MamaKim/ Lex could well be the hidden pair. I was going for it being her and Tom.....but her and Lex are very very likely as well. Hmmmm....veddy veddy interesting! |
Joan | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 11:26 pm   All in all, I think they were worried that Kim P. is really athletic and she was a bigger threat for immunity than T. |
Neko | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 01:38 pm   Geez..all of you guys are in your 30's and 40's..I feel like the youngest one here!So I can't really understand the whole regretting and not liking getting older. I mean,I'm looking forward to getting older...and I don't just mean my 20's or 30's. I mean, farther up, all the wisdom that I'll get would be very nice right about now! |
Joan | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 01:45 pm   I'm not in my 30s and 40s! hehe I'm 23. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 04:30 pm   Yeah!!! More 20-somethings!!! |
Britchick | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 04:37 pm   Ahem, hello, my name is Britchick and I'm a twenty-something [sits down and tries not to stress out too much about the fact that she won't be able to claim that for very much longer] |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 04:53 pm   <SpyGirl Chants with the room:> HI BRITCHICK |
Smileeys | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 06:37 pm   Well, I am about to change categories (many of the forms have something like age bracket 24-30) to the 31 to whatever it is. My 3oth was a horrible depressing awful terrible yucky day. I was also having problems with my then boyfriend (now ex), too, so that made things even worse. We had been together for a long time and I wanted to be married by my 30th. Now that we have broken up - surprisingly it doesn't bother me too much. Joan, I never would have guessed you were 23 - you seem very mature and from your posts I thought you must be in your 40's or so Even though I am moaning about getting older, I mean that as a compliment! |
Weinermr | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 06:59 pm   Neko - I don't mind being IN my 40's, I mind LOOKING like I'm in my 40's. Woe is me.... LOL |
Sammmy | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 07:27 pm   Farrah Fawcett and the other Angels are in their 50's. Rachel Welch, Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda, and Dianne(sp) Cannon are in their 60's!!! No need to fear aging.....especially if you've got the money for the plastic surgeries. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 07:28 pm   My son is in his 20's, I'm 45, doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes I forget that I have to act like an adult and that gets depressing. There is no point in worrying about your age, there is nothing you can do about it, just be happy that you are still around to get older. |
Neko | Thursday, January 03, 2002 - 02:34 pm   Lol Weinermr and Sammmy(Did you realize there's an extra m in your name?^_^) Can anyone guess my age? I want to laugh at how wrong or right you guys are!! |
