Green Room - Week 20 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

*yawn*

Oh this having access thing is going to be dangerous. You Tube has Season 2 of the South African version of Survivor! They seem to have other versions as well, which just spells trouble for me.

So what are you guys going to be unleashing upon this unsuspecting week?

I believe I am first!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay!! breaks out the Pepsi to celebrate!

Well done!

[awallens.livejournal.com]

Now that that is out of the way. I have important things to do. no, not grad school... Not work. My fantasy baseball draft is Saturday, six PM. And Red Sox games need to be watched. Yes, yes yes! Baseball is back!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Baseball means spring. YAY!!

I've been thinking about how odd the friendships that we form here are. I mean all we know about each other are the things we put in our entries. Learning each others most powerful thoughts, dreams, secrets, and emotions over the past 5 months can create this intimacy, this intensity, with this knowledge of each other. But yet it isn't all that the person is. We are so much more than we choose to write about. It's an odd feeling, at least to me.

*nods* Interesting comment, I've been thinking about that kind of thing myself lately. Not only are we more than what we portray online, we're also very much less. We tend to get more intimate faster, with less knowledge of who we're getting intimate with. Not only that but there's a lot more backstabbing. People are much more willing to take that intimate knowledge and use it against you than they are in real life.

Makes me wonder why I keep a journal at all sometimes.

Paaaaaain. OMG pain today. I shall unleash things on the world when I am in less of it?

Painting for an entire day has left my shoulder swollen and my right hand drifting in and out of asleepness. I cannot wait to take tylenol (soon, soon). But today we are done as much as we can, and we head home. When we leave, we will have rescued a master bathroom, a master bedroom, and a kitchen, all for under $700. Whee!!

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

They say pride in a job well done will salve hurt muscles and stiff joints. Hope the tylenol works quickly.

Morning,

It's back to school this week after a sprig break, hopefully a decent work week, and hopefully catching up on some home game entries.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Yay for rest (maybe?)

[twirlandswirl.livejournal.com]

I bought my wedding dress!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Shhhh :-)

Is talking about the wedding dress when the partner might hear/read also taboo in the U.S?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Good morning all.

I am glad to see that clauderainsrm is enjoying is new digital freedom.

I was all set to go meet welfy in person today, but I am not willing to trust my driving skills at the moment, due to a medication snafu. I suppose I could unleash my twitching on the unsuspecting public, but I have enough wits left for some sense of self-preservation. I will wait for one of my kids to come pick me up instead.

Meanwhile, I can walk anywhere I might need to get to: coffee, breakfast, even a post office. I have some international packages to send out today.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Hun, take care of yourself!

I have a certain international package that will be going out this week too. :-)

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Have fun with the net access, I thinks you deserve it!

I have only limited download limits right now, so no youtube for me, until I move and get my own net access again. :-(

A quiet week for me this week I think. That's ok though as next week is my first appointment with the solicitor, which I'm really not looking forward to.

Have a good Monday everyone!
*hugs*

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Be nice to yourself. You deserve it too.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Props and more props and probably a puppet that is running around in my head and screaming MAKE ME REAL!

And why does my coffee taste so icky this morning?

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

i've been wondering, do you currently make puppets as a job, or for yourself? is it something you love to do, or something you just found yourself doing? if you feel like explaining

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

I'm not dying anymore! Huzzah! And I finally figured out what I'm going to do for open topic! Double huzzah!

As far as this week is concerned, I'm going to try real hard not to tap into the money I have set aside to get myself a laptop next weekend. I've been wanting one forever, it's so close in my grasp, but in my fine tradition of pessimism I'm convinced something is going to come up and I'll have to put it off.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to hear that you're not still deathly ill!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. Back at work today. Waiting for my colleague to get off the phone so we can go and check out a program that really doesn't function well and we want to get our ducks in a row before lodging a complaint.

As for kittenboo's comment, it is interesting. I've learned over the years to step back before getting too upset about anything said on the net. Reacting quickly usually ends up being misunderstood or me misunderstanding others. I've made some of the best friends in the world via the net, but that has developed over time.

Off for now. Be back.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I plan on reading entries and unleashing comments, even if none of us get to vote. I'm incredibly interested to see what everyone comes up with for the open topic.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Me too. But after I finish my entry.

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*hoping to be back to work soon like tomorrow*..

uggg...another bloody Monday....

[chite.livejournal.com]

Good morning everyone!

Thank you to everyone who posted to my "help me pick a topic" poll! I have a topic now, and I will hopefully get to write tonight or tomorrow. yay!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Lucky you.*grin* I'm still waffling....Sigh.....

Rename

[heykatie.livejournal.com]

Hi Hi!

I just wanted to say that this is MoonLightMuse, but I've changed my name (AGAIN). Sorry for the confusion. HOpe this doesn't cause problems! :)

Re: Rename

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Now you have the record for the most name changes in a season *and* the best anyone has done coming back for a second season (*except twirlandswirl who FORGOT she signed up for season 2, was the first out and then came back and kicked butt in season 3. She is still in the hunt for the record, but her currently one is the "technicality record" whereas you hold the real one.*g*)

[taybar19.livejournal.com]

I thought of a good topic for you to try.

Alternate Endings

It can be either a rewrite of a certain movie, or something in their life that they wish would have had an alternate ending, but they would have to think about the consequences of changing the outcome.

[chite.livejournal.com]

My new cam just came in! I'll be in my Live room tonight, probably starting at around 8 eastern to celebrate. http://live.yahoo.com/chite
(I am there now testing out the cam so if you want to stop in, I might be there)

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Yay! She's finally hosting her own party!

*scampers to make brownies for the party*

[bettybaker.livejournal.com]

What's the haps? Who should I be reading?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*giggle* you could read mine, but I keep changing my mine about how happy I am with it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

for those who don't know who she is right off the top of your head (and you really should) look right above this - Season 3's second place (but never in our hearts) finisher bettybaker is here!!! Go say hi!*g*

If you haven't read her stuff, you really, really should!!!

Re: Ladies and gentlemen...

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Thanks... Now you have "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva stuck in my head... *growls at Gary*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Gah. I had one of the busiest and most taxing days at work today. (Much punage intended) Had a client accidentally shred all of her paperwork when we hadn't even done her return yet. Oy. Guess who had to find all of the companies' phone numbers...

I'm finally back to my regular schedule at work. 8:30-4:30 all week. Hallelujah!

I'm off to clean the house now. We're hosting a Wrestlemania 24 party on Sunday night, so we've split up the chores. I get to clean the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. John gets to clean everything else.

I need to figure out what to make for the party on Sunday. We'll have around 15-20 people here to feed, and WM24 is around 3-4 hours. Any good ideas for dinner/snack foods? HELP!

Thoughts on the entries this week

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

As I have been reading through the open topic entries for this week, I am continually amazed at the increasingly beautiful and very personal feelings and experiences you all are sharing.

I have enjoyed reading all the entries from previous weeks, but many this week have struck a cord with me, and have given me a lot to think about.

I appreciate how difficult some of the entries have been to share, and thank each of you for putting so much out there this week.

Even though we cannot vote this week, I will still be posting a list of my favorites, of which there are many.

*hugs* and much good luck! You all deserve a prize for your efforts this week!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Coke Zero - the unofficial sponsor of this comment. Just saying.

[kithan.livejournal.com]

Pepsi is the OFFICIAL sponsor of this one.

Oh Gary...

[ladyozma.livejournal.com]

No, it's not South African Survivor. It's Bulgarian Idol. Go watch Ken Lee on youtube!!!

Poor Gary. He's doooooooooomed!
