Green Room - Week 20 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

I actually have one of the five Gatekeeper votes in. . . which means the current standings are. . .

Oh come on, you didn't think I was going to actually tell you did you????

But since people keep asking, the 5th Gatekeeper is indeed chite's Coke Zero can.*G* Figured it would have a unique perspective on the entries. "What does this mean to me, a can?"

***

So what are your plans for the weekend? Other than writing on THE FREE TOPIC at http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/137235.html and telling the world who your favorite LJ USER is of course!!

First?

[tryslora]

Yes!

[tryslora]

We have snow! Well, really, we have SLUSH and a 2 hr delay for the schools so I am enjoying a quiet lazy morning while the kids natter about getting ready. It's soooooo nice. That is until I have to go DRIVE in said slush. I mean, ew.

I want to relax this weekend! Which.... won't be happening. This laundry is all about the laundry, the Enter the Haggis concert, and tiling the backsplash in the downstairs kitchen. Oh, and screencapping and iconning more of Torchwood, because that is happiness and zen love.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, you had to mention laundry. I must also do a mountain of laundry.

possibly taking boy to the coney island aquarium today, hopefully it won't rain

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

I'm jealous, I've been to three great school trips there. Say hello to the penguins for me.

Peter is off to Virgina for their annual book fair this weekend so a lot of it is going to be getting Ariel to her various functions.

And getting two swap projects off my plate this weekend that are "due" Monday.

I already wrote the open topic so there.

NOT FAIR! I look away for a second, and miss out on being first to post :-)

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Morning/night, everyone!

I've had a fun day buying two+ pounds of chocolate to send to spydielives :-)

I hope you aren't on a diet, Amy! *g*

Should I say what I bought, or keep it a surprise? :-)


Have a great Friday everyone!

Re: NOT FAIR! I look away for a second, and miss out on being first to post :-)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Diet = "Die" to a "T"

Surprise me. Unless you want to make everyone else drool.

I almost posted a picture of what is in your box, but that would make everyone else cry.

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

Since one gatekeepers votes are in, do we get to find out who that one is? *nudge nudge*

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

nice try!

TGIF...

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to say Thank FUcking God it's bloody Friday!!!!!!!!!!!

Well should be Thank God it's Friday...but I needed to put my own spin into it..

Big plans for the weekend? We have two housewarming parties...

*I think I understand a bit about what Gary's referring to about chite 's coke zero can* *snorts and snickers*

*waves*...how's everyone?

Re: TGIF...

[chite.livejournal.com]

*hands you a Coke 0*

Stop snickering about my Coke 0 can. It never did anything to you :)

[chite.livejournal.com]

It's true.

My Coke 0 can has a mind of its own :)

Today...I'm working some. But mostly running errands and spending time with the husband, who is HOME! woohoo!

One of our errands will include, of course, heading to BJ's for another extremely large pack of Coke 0.

Of course.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

BJ's... *snort*

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Wait! Hold the presses!

The new official sponsor of late-night chats is:



[description: three cans of zazz brand flavored selzer]

My plans for the weekend include taking a long walk on the beach writing the next great American Novel winning the lottery shopping for groceries.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Ah-ha! Now I won't be the only seltzer powered chick in LJ Idolland! That's even the brand *I* usually buy!

My plan, it's working...

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'm off both today and tomorrow! Half of a weekend?!? What is this world coming to?!?

(actually if I'd been scheduled off Sunday too, that really would've blown my mind!)

So I'm trying to scrounge some last-minute tickets to either an improv show or comedy club downtown. We've got a couple of regional theatre companies that offer last-minute discount tickets. Failing that, there are a bunch of new restaurants in the area. Failing that, there's always the movies.

In other words, SO and I need to have a date night. Badly.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked. Somehow I managed to get to LJ while at WORK. It's been blocked before, it may be blocked again, but for now... w00t!

We're driving down to Gatlinburg, TN after I get off work this evening, and will be there until sometime Sunday. We're going to Dollywood! But we'll have hubby's laptop with us, so I can still keep up with LJ and play all of my Scrabulous games, LOL!

Fortunately, I packed my bag last night, so as soon as I get home from work, we pack up Knight's car and OFF we go - yay!

At least it'll be a nice distraction from waiting on all of the Gatekeepers of the Apocalypse to make up their minds... *groan*

[angstzeit.livejournal.com]

I was there...thirty-some years ago. I doubt I'd recognize much.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

It's Friday! It's Friday! I'm elated that it's Friday.

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Looking good to get my laptop tomorrow. I'm so excited, I keep visiting it at the website.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

YAY for new laptops!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

It's Friday! So far it's quiet here. I avoided the legislative breakfast that took place today. It is usually a waste of time as our agency doesn't really agree with the way it is set up. So some show up but it wasn't worth my time and energy to get to work early to go.

It's slushy and nasty out. Maybe it will keep people home so the office will remain nice and peaceful!

Hope all have a good day and I'll read a what I can!

Any other Sweeney Todd fans?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I am listening to the original Broadway recording of Sweeney Todd and for some reason, Gary keeps coming to mind.

So... I am curious, while I sit here...

Are there any other fans of the show (or the movie version)? Favorite scene? If we were going to cast LJI contestants, who gets to play which role, and why?

Re: Any other Sweeney Todd fans?

[norda.livejournal.com]

Long-time fan of the stage production. Haven't seen the movie yet.

I have a PBS video of the George Hearn/Angela Lansbury production. The scene that always sends my hair standing on end is "Nothing's Going to Harm You".

::::whine::::

This "free topic" thing is HARD!

1] Most of the people I read on LiveJournal now, I "met"/found in other online places first, or know them in "real life", so writing about their LJ influence on me is kind of pointless.

2] A significant number of my Gentle Readers have locked journals. I don't know whether that should or shouldn't be taken into consideration, if most of you can't read their wondrous words.

Oh well. If I spit out an entry, so much the better. If not, I'll enjoy everyone else's.

[edited to correct grammar]

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I know. I've actually been considering finally handling the topic myself. But so many of the people on my FL either followed me over here/were here first but I knew them from somewhere else. The majority of the others are people that I've either met face to face or talk on the phone with, who mean so much more to me off line than they have impacted my online life. . . the ones who aren't are Idol contestants and there is NO WAY that I'm listing a Idol contestant!!!*G*


I have a short list in my head that's getting shorter by the minute.

[norda.livejournal.com]

And my plans for the weekend are as follows:

FRIDAY - since my sales appointment at the public library got cancelled, and the weather really is frightful [sleet and freezing rain], today is a day to do data entry on the inventory project, to work more on taxes and to put laundry away. *IF* we don't get slammed with the DOCTOR WHO toy delivery we've been expecting all week, which will change everything... then we'll have lots of parcels to process.

SATURDAY - going to a small college science fiction convention about 90 minutes away to network. Life conspired to get in the way of taking tables there, but it will be good for my partner to get out and about in the fandom community again. I've done the lion's share of traveling and business socializing this year, and he's become too much the hermit for his own good.

SUNDAY - more paperwork, hopefully getting things close to ready to send out. It's hard being a triple entity.

Night all, it's been fun!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

I'm going to get myself off to bed, as it's now 2.07am.

Have a good day everyone, and see you back here whenever I can drag myself out of bed. *g*

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Happy Friday;)
This has been way to long of a week...

I am trying to get something down for this lovely open topic. Just having a hard time narrowing it down to one, I love lots of folks on my flist...they are all different and my favorite in their little ways.

Weekend plans?
Maybe seeing a movie tonight
bellydancing tomorrow and I don't know what else
tons and tons of homework sunday along with getting all measured up again for a costume that someone is making me for the next convention I am attending.

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

I get tonight to myself!!! Hooray!
If I get this excited when my husband goes out, how in the world will I ever manage children? Terrifying.

Anyway, a bit of work, but mostly visiting friends and knitting and catching up on Trailer Park Boys.

[bretzysdude.livejournal.com]

If it's Friday, and it's March, then it's my day off!

Too bad it's not my wife's day off, though.

Need to catch up on your entries and vote. I take bribes.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

No voting this week. We're all at the mercy of the Gatekeepers who will decide each of our fates as of Monday *shudder*

OOH!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I scored last-minute tickets to a local improv comedy club tonight!

WOOOOOOOOT!!!!

I haven't been out on the town for so long it's not funny!

[heykatie.livejournal.com]

I started a new job today as a bartender in a big pub!

I was only there for four hours, but wearing the wrong shoes nearly KILLED me!

The good news is that I did so well that they asked me to come in tomorrow night and work from 6 until closing. That means I'll be serving during the busiest times!

The bad news is that I had banked on NOT working tomorrow night, and Ross is out of town all weekend, so I have to walk home at midnight by myself!!

Plus, I have a really bad tooth ache in my front bottom teeth. :( Owwwwie!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Bartending is a blast! Booze, and conversation and tips ahh the cash in hand at the ned of the night!

Have fun and be careful tomorrow. Bring an airhorn :)

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Today has been taxing to say the least. My daughter turned 4 on Wednesday and had to go for her latest round of immunizations or they won't let her go to school. They wanted to give my bitty-girl four fat shots. Diptheria, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, chicken pox and polio in one sitting. No f'ing way am I going to let them put all that crap in her at once!

So we did two today and will go back in a month. Poor girl. F'ing FDA. And I am keeping my fingers crossed that my decision to protect her doesn't mean I've ended her first year of school two months early.

In other news, tomorrow is my monthly nature center storytime. We are reading Bats at the Beach and Bats Around the Clock and making bat finger puppets. Let me screw on my happy face in time for that.

For those playing along at home, I did not get into grad school.

Was it:

- my elitism
- my peculiar life
- my extra long sentences
- my shitty grades in undergraduate work 15 years ago
- my really long senteces

Le sigh.

Meanwhile I have a book due in ten days.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

That sucks.

They are wrong to not consider you an excellent candidate, especially in light of all of the above.

Best wishes on finishing your book.
