California (Todd)
California is exactly what you'd expect: sunny and hot. Thankfully the truck is air conditioned. There's only four more hours left on this trip. It's about time. I'm not sure if I could take any more of this "Life on the road" shit. I couldn't fall...
Chapter Seven (Todd)
Before I knew it, it's Tuesday. I woke up next to Wendell. I ruffle the fur on his head a bit. He's so cute when he's asleep. The way his paws sometimes twitch, the way he'll sometimes whine a little. He's so adorable. "Hey," I whisper in his ear....
Chapter Six (Angie)

Toni's Diary Entry #4 - Detention Intention
For those that know me, you'd know that I am a huge nerd. I love reading books, and I love digesting a TV show or movie series. Ever since I was in high school, I wanted to read as many books as I possibly could. Currently, I have around 300 books in...
Toni's Diary Entry #3 - Sleepless in Ohio
Back in elementary school, I was a rambunctious little fox; all throughout my Kindergarten year, I would act out all the time. I didn't like being in a foreign place; it scared the piss out of me (one time, literally). By the second grade, this...
Toni's Diary Entry #6 - Peanut Butter Theater
Everybody has that one friend that they just say and do stupid shit together, and they laugh because that person is just someone you can be 100% unfiltered around. For me, back in elementary school, that was my best friend, whom we're going to call...
Toni's Diary Entry #2 - The Key to Success
Back in high school, I somehow managed to cultivate friendships with the lowerclassmen. It happened every year; when I was a sophomore, I made friends with the freshmen. When I was a junior, those freshmen became sophomores and I made friends with the...
Week 1 - Nominations+Eviction
Elise was the first Head of Household of the summer, which meant that she got the private bedroom all to herself. As she settled into the king-sized bed, she thought about the competition yesterday. It was clear to her that Fisher was gunning for her...
Week 1 - HOH
It's a house like no other: where ninety-two cameras capture their every move and one hundred microphones capture their every word. This is the Big Brother house. Tonight, fourteen strangers will move into the house, cut off from the outside world,...
