to burn some shit to the ground.

To learn to cook so I don't have to hope someone makes breakfast all the time.

God this is so fucking miserable

Hi, I'm kind of an asshole

Hey, so I just went back and reread everything that I wrote to you yesterday, and I just wanted to say sorry and let you know that you're not on the hook for teaching me shit, but thanks for putting up with [...] all that.

Hang in there, little sister. I want you to keep messaging me to give me updates, okay? I'm fine, and everyone here is fine. I've got Lennon and Tobias across the hall from me, and we're all okay.


[PM to Daphne, Kate, Pam, Kai and Kiley]
Are you okay? Send me updates when you can. Stay safe.


[PM to Cecilia ]
You keep that fucker away from my girl, boss lady, and stay safe.

Do we have a plan yet? Please tell me we're working on a plan.

Ding ding! Come and get it! Grub's in the kitchen, and there's a real danger of me gorging myself, so you guys better get your butts in gear soon.

You want pizza? If you promise you'll play nice I'll bring you down a couple slices in a bit.

That smell school cafeterias have.

Hello to all the new lovely belles and awesome gents in the house! And all the cool dudes and foxy ladies I already know. And dogs and cats and whatever else we've got now. (Fish? Didn't somebody have a fish?)

I'm Jack, Zenith's chef-in-residence/morale specialist/undisputed (read: unchallenged and nobody really cares) juggling champ/blond beefcake #1 or #2 (We'll armwrestle for it later, Owen-Wait, fuck that. Souffle contest?). I hang out a lot in the kitchen, and the bar, and the hot tub when Zenith's snowmageddon game isn't running so strong. Or sometimes even when it is.

In addition to probably wondering why the hell I'm so chipper (currently one part espresso, one part bourbon, and two parts my natural awesomeness), most of you new kids are dealing with a Skittles bag of seriously fucked up emotions right now, right? We've all been there. It sucks, it's scary, and having a whole house full of people you don't know is pretty much the stale, shitty croutons on the world's shittiest suck salad. We're good people just trying to make the best of whatever the hell this is supposed to be, but you guys don't know that yet, and right now we kind of don't have a really stable venue to help out with that.

And this is generally where I come in!

Fun Zenith Fact: We used to have a lot of house meetings. Basically when something was going wrong, or everyone needed a group update on something, we'd meet in the dining room, have a good meal together, and powwow. We haven't really done that in a while, and kind of not often when there wasn't something actually happening. I don't think the holiday party counts when there's that high of a chance of so many of us getting shitfaced. Mostly me. Super fun, but not uber conducive to team building, m'thinks.

So, I submit for the approval of the....I guess brunch society (fuck, how is it almost noon)? We should reinstate group dinners. Or lunches. Brunches? Edwin, what's the Lord of the Rings joke about how much hobbitses eat? Maybe once a week if we can manage it? I don't mind cooking that often, and I know I can swindle awesome people into helping like always. We can chow on good food, air out any questions anyone has, deal with any minor issues or concerns, tell witty anecdotes, share some good "Yo Mama" jokes (I need new material, that well's pretty dry. And yes, they are still funny. Fight me on it. Not you, Cecilia.).

I vote the day after tomorrow, as long as nothing weird happens, we do either a big brunch or a big dinner. "What the hell does he mean as long as nothing weird happens?" some of you new, sweet summer children might be asking. Well, once in a while the world's dickiest bags behind the cameras like to throw things at us. Challenges, puzzles, obstacle courses, flocks of suicidal birds, horribly racist 1950s simulators, basement trolls. You get the idea. If something comes up where we can't do a meal on the day we plan on it, it automatically gets moved to the following day, unless that gets fucked up too.


So, I need you guys to do a few things for me in the comments to this post. This goes for newbies and oldbies alike.

1. Say if you would rather do lunch or dinner this time around.

2. Tell me some of your favorite foods! Give a list of your top five or so, and we'll see what we can do.

3. List any food allergies or dietary regulations you follow. (Do you eat kosher? Are you vegan? Can you not have gluten? Strict Breatharian?)

4. Just for shits and giggles, and a little to get the ball rolling, what's the weirdest food you've ever eaten?


I'm torn between casu marzu (which I do NOT recommend), or a chocolate-banana croissant pastry that was purposefully shaped like Maya Angelou.

Holy shit, I used a lot of parenthesis in the post.

Also, I think that croissant might have been kind of racist.

jaaaaaaaack jack jack jack you're quieeeet what'd you get? kit pup rat squirrel?

okay first of all i wanna thank everyone who sent me xmas gifts and isn't in jail at the moment. honestly and without reeling you into the personal shit, this was like making up for every xmas before now and as you can imagine i'm not that good AT xmas. so i'm - i think the word is mortified? - that so many people thought of me that i didn't think of. that people got me multiple gifts and i only got them one. i'm not well versed on how this shit works, really.

so anyway i apologize for sucking and as a blanket present of sorts, and because one of mine was the new fucking star wars movie (!!!!) i wanna invite everyone who's not in jail at the moment for the premiere tomorrow night at, say, nine? i'll make some eats (nachos, popcorn...what else d'you guys like to eat at the movies?) and you can have as much as you want and you can bring your pets and you can wear anything (i mean i'd even say clothing optional but like let's not get carried away here). and if star wars isn't your thing, i'll make you a personalized nice dinner. because i have an apron that says i'm a chef now, and a cookbook or two i wanna try out.

sound good? i'm so sorry i suck guys. thank you so much. not you simms

ps: if you know of anyone who'd benefit from a rape whistle up his ass, say, someone currently in a sort of cell, let me know. :)

Okay so

Like, you know what? Fuck it. Call me a millennial, that's fine, but shopping without the internet is GODDAMN HARD.

So when I was a teenager my brother was working at this shop where he didn't really like his co-workers but agreed to do Secret Santa anyway? And he had to fill out a little card about himself for whoever got him. And I think maybe we should do that. A few likes, dislikes, that kind of deal. Just to help guide us?

For example (and shameless whoring)

so what do you nerds want for christmas? spit spot come on i have a list to make.

Hey guys! So I've been thinking, what with the nice holiday decorations and all, that we're seriously in need of a Holiday Hoopla! Not today, because it's already late and it's kind of a totally sad day anyway, with so many people disappearing today and all, but we haven't had a proper party in a while, and we missed Thanksgiving, so we should celebrate the apparent holidays with good tidings and chestnuts roasting, holly jolly, etc etc.

So, either tomorrow evening or the evening after, depending on what's happening in Their plans, we'll have a party in the foyer around the tree. Formal dress preferred! Because isn't it nice to dress up fancy once in a while? And if anyone wants to help with anything, let me know! (Speaking of, thank you to whoever decorated the tree! It's beautiful!)

I'll update you tomorrow on when it's happening! I can't wait!

I have bad news [...] and I have weird news.

The bad news is we lost a lot of people last night. Madison, Georgie, Damon, Ethan, Camille, Lisa, Sterling, and Mia. Their rooms are all empty. That's... a lot of people to be taken out at once, so maybe they're just somewhere else? I wouldn't put it past Them to fake us out.

There's also a huge Christmas tree in the foyer and a bunch of decorations. [..................................] I have no words.

hey, so, snowmobile adventure: yes or yes with hot cocoa and marshmallows afterwards?

Soooooo, did only super special cool kids get a video yesterday, or was whoever in charge of today's morning announcement drunk behind the wheel?

is this real?

am I here? I don't kn

Is anyone still here who was in the house from days 1 to 15?

[...] Reginald's been removed again. [...] I hope he's safe back in his cottage. I hope [...] Sorry, guys.

So the page floating around was fake, right?

Private to Lila
I know we absolutely don't know each other, but that was some shit they pulled on you. Are you okay? Do you need a listening ear? Drinking buddy? I'm around.

Private to Georgie
You're getting laid?!?! DETAILS. Don't even pretend with "no kissing and telling" or I'll slug you. SPILL.

Private to Pam
You hanging in there, sugarpam?

Private to Jack
Hey, quick question, since you know Juno about a thousand times better than I do. Could we cook her something? Comfort food kind of stuff? I want to do something for her, but I'm kind of at a loss. I don't know if she likes Mexican food (I don't even goddamn know if she's Mexican), but I have some recipes from my abuela in my back pocket that are pretty good and could only be improved upon by a Chef Dude. Or I don't know, just anything she likes, period. What do you think?
