Week 19 results

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They call it Good Friday.

But around here it always ends up being "Black Friday" when voting comes around. Usually it's "Black Monday", but you get what I'm saying. . .

With golden_sands withdrawing, we were scheduled to lose four, and what a diverse four they were.

ladyozma - who was, if memory serves, the first person to get to "3 Gold Stars". Her presence throughout this season has been extremely supportive and welcoming to new faces.

gonadsandstrife - I've spent the season going back and forth. He was *sure* he was irritating me (and everyone else) in the beginning. But that actually took awhile.*G* And just when I thought "ok, he was right", BAM, he would post something and I realized that I kind of liked having him around.

adpaz - One of Idol biggest supporters, from Season 1 on. She finally played and she did herself proud. Also the person who has been in the competition that I have known the longest. (We met in 1996!)

ewok_626 - oh the many sides of da 'wok. Friend to all, bearer of food into the Green Room. What most of you don't know though is that before this season ever started, she was one of the people who talked me into having one. She of course had declared herself the winner.*G* But if it wasn't for her constant "when is Season 4? Come on Gary, when is it???" we might not be here today.

Thank you to all 5 of you. The good thing is that I'm pretty sure that I don't need to bother to say "I hope you stick around".*g*

Wow - it was a close race, sorry to see you all go!

(Is it just me, or does it seem like the fewer contestants we have the longer the entries are getting??)

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

You will all be missed! It gets sadder the more we go on. Hope you all will stick around in the GR and read entries.

I made the TOP 40 in Idol! WOOT!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll still be around. I'll spam the green room constantly. *g*

And of course, my farewell dinner!

*sets out fried chicken, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, pasta salad, caesar salad, tossed salad with dressings, homemade rolls, and various pies, cakes, and cookies*

Wow, sorry to see you ousted. And I was thinking you'd at least get "Spirit of LJ Idol" award.

Congratulations on outlasting me!

*hugs*

You did absolutely fantastically to make it to #37!!

Well done chica!!

Now, the five of us can sit back, relax and watch the fun begin. *g*

[minikin.livejournal.com]

All very good writers. But then, I really don't think there's anyone left in the competition about whom I wouldn't say that.

I salute you, golden_sands, ladyozma, gonadsandstrife, adpaz and ewok_626!!

[gonadsandstrife.livejournal.com]

I WILL CRUSH YOU, MY ENEMIES. I WILL SEE YOU DRIVEN BEFORE ME AND I WILL HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF YOUR WOMEN!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

This is one week that really hurts.

*Sadly eyes the buffet*

I don't know how much I feel like eating right now...o.k. maybe one roll, and a dallop of green bean casserole for posterity.

Re: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

*gives Mama a take-out box* Take some home for dinner!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

wow, that was a close one. it gets harder every week to say goodbye to people.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Wow, it amazes me the last-minute votey people.

::another group hug::

I hate these elimination days more and more and more.

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Well, I especially hate to see golden_sands go, but I very much enjoyed her writing! Congratulations to all of you. I hate I wasn't able to complete my vote, because the closing time was too early. But you all did well.

Oh, and how can I forget ladyozma! She was awesome too, and definitely on the rise. Good work.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You won't get rid of me though. I'll still be hanging out in the gr, I dragged you kicking and screaming onto my friends list *grins*, and I'll play the home game too, as I enjoy the writing too much to stop.

*hugs*

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

Oh god what!! If anyone told me I would outlast any of these people, I wouldn't have believed them. what. This is getting crazy.

[beldar.livejournal.com]

ewok_626 is out of the contest? That's it, I quit in protest... oh, yeah, I'm already out.

well damn....

Best of luck to those who remain!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*grins* You just made me feel 20x better!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

it's sad to see golden_sands go..

and I'll miss ewok_626, ladyozma gonandstrife & adpaz

:-) See you all in the GR...

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I'll see you on LIVE! And in e-mails, text messages, green rooms, friends lists...

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Okay, since I got eliminated...

FRIENDING FRENZY!!! Come! Meet! Greet!

it gets harder and harder each week.
You all are such wonderful talented writers.

Thank you all!

[ladyozma.livejournal.com]

I never thought I would make it this far, so I know it is because of each and everyone of you. Thank you for supporting me and becoming my friends. This has been an amazing experience and I am so thankful for it!

I'm proud to have made it to the top 40!!! THat's awesome!

To those of you still in the Idol house, good luck! I'll be watching till the end! This is not the end for me, but merely the beginning!

I want to say thank you. Because of you guys I have had the courage to start my Walking With Woman. I'd debated it for nearly a year. And thanks to you guys, I have Juan of the Dead. Which I must get back to work on... :) So I can post the next chapter today. Leaving Idol is sad, but it frees me up to do more work on these. I hope you come around my journal.

I can't wait to see who wins Idol! I can't believe it's been 19 weeks!

(((HUGS))) to all as I clear out my bedroom in the Idol house. (But never fear, I'll still be in the GR.)

Re: Thank you all!

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

You've rocked since the beginning and you still rock today! *big hug*

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

*weeps*

I loved them all!

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to this earlier than now. It has been a very busy day.

I'll admit to some sadness that I've been voted out, but in some ways, I came much further than I ever expected. Thank you, everyone, for keeping me in as long as you had and giving me a chance to hone my writing skills. Thank you, Gary, for giving me wonderful topics to write on once a week. Thank you Kath & Kiz for partnering with me during the intersections. And thank you everyone, past and present, for making me feel good about what I've put out there. I've been very open about a lot of things and never once did someone make me feel like a fool for putting these things out there.

Good luck to those who are still in the running. Just as it was hard for me to leave this week, seeing others leave after this is going to be even harder.

*hugs to all*
