Private Journal Entry - MARCH 22, 2006

Lina won the vote for our new authority figure. She had my vote. I honestly can't think of anyone else that should have been on the list. It was really only between Erich and Lina.

I know Erich a bit better. Perhaps he should have been on the top of my list. But the one time he tried to have a group meeting, it failed miserably. He hasn't been here long enough to really be an authority figure. Katalina has been here a while. She's seen enough to know what works and what doesn't. And she put out a better argument than Erich, point blank. I know it wasn't an attempt to get people to vote for her. It felt more like she was just letting everyone know how it was.

I don't know where this puts my case with the meat locker. I hope it's not forgotten, mostly because it could always happen again. Or worse. Torlin's been given a warning. Shouldn't Lina know about it? Maybe I'll talk to her about it in a bit, but she just got the role. I don't like stepping on anyone's toes, but I don't like not feeling safe either.

Too many people keep these things quiet. I know why they do, and I did it myself, but it's not helping.
