Green Room - Week 28 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

I know that I keep bringing this up, but it's just that it's hitting me more and more everytime I think of it. The season is going to be over in a couple weeks.

No more topic posts. No more Green Rooms. No more beating kithan to put the polls together... oh wait, I'm sure I'll just beat her for other reasons...*g*

It's going to be weird.

*sigh* Anyway - I guess that just means we'd better enjoy the time we have left together!

So who brought the food today?*G*

I could use some pancakes. I had to take mine back because they weren't done. There was batter everywhere. GROSS!

at least you're first Here a nice stack of chocolate chip banana pancakes.

*eating a bowl of spoon-sized shredded wheat and raisins as she's typing this*

OMG, no more Green Room?!?!? How will we ever survive?

*dramatically swoons and faints*

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*yeah I know*

I'm hopelessly addicted to the GR...

well not as much as I used to be...busier in this new job

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Wait -- NO GREEN ROOM? (wasn't paying attention)

We don't get Green Rooms in the off season?

Well then, when is season five starting? ::crosses arms and taps foot::

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I'll DIE without the green room. Gary HAS to keep it going throughout the off-season!!!

[kithan.livejournal.com]

I'm OK with it, for the most part.

Mostly because with the new job, who knows when (if ever) I'll have daytime access again.

Also, I figured out BitTorrent last night. I feel so smart and geeky. :)

Morning everyone!

I am afraid I do not have any food, yet, although the hotel does have a breakfast bar and y'all are invited to check it out with me. I finished off the cotton candy last night before I visited with Wok and Cal on live.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I want to take a moment and CONGRATULATE Season Four's TOP FIVE:

chite, imafarmgirl, kittenboo, porcelain72, and tulip_in_yellow.

Ladies, each of you write with your own unique voice. From poetry to prose to poignant confessions, you have entertained us, enthralled us, and ensnared us with your words.

Do not let anyone, ANYONE, spoil your moment. Each of you deserves to be where you are in this competition now, and (FWIW, IMHO, YADA) any one of you can come away as the winner.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Whew... what a long, strange trip it's been. Wish you were here.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this.

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Thank you, ma'am.

[chite.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

I hope your trip continues to be awesome.

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

who mentioned pancakes?

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I am going to have find a new morning routine before I leave for when there is no more green room.

Just got up so I need to hunt down some breakfast.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Just posted part two of my (apparently) three part cautionary tale of custom cabinetry from Lowe's (http://kathrynrose.livejournal.com/429215.html).

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

Its a good read and good advice. thanks

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

Okay, but I'm out of chocolate chips so *banana nut pancakes* *bacon* *scrambled eggs and ham* *Coffee*, *milk* and *orange juice*

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Yesterday you had to cook for an entire household and now you're fake-cooking for the GR. When will the madness stop? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could move things with your mind? Then you could actually send me a latte. Me need coffee now.

trying to get my shoulder into shape for tonight's bowling. We are fighting it out for first. We can't finish less than 2nd which is much better than we did last year when we were second from last. But we would like to take it all this year.

And I found yet another antibiotic that I am allergic to (or have one of th dangerous reactions to).

*Sigh*

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Good luck! Or should that be I hope you won, as you are probably back home and either sleeping or winding down right now!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'm off from work today (no, really?!?) I've got this hive/rash thing on my legs that's been going on since late last week. The doctor has no idea what it is. I've heard everything from microscopic bug bites to allergic reaction to something that's subconsciously psychosomatic.

Anyway, they're deep red, big as a quarter, and are still driving me nuts.

Today I resolve to spend as much time outside as possible. It's beautiful and just the right amount of wind to fly a kite!

[mme-furiosa.livejournal.com]

Yay, kites! Boo, hives! That is nasty and awful. I hope it clears up as mysteriously quickly as it arrived, miss Kizzy.

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

Not me, but I brough the excitment!

2 weeks before I go up to New York to get my guide dog! 2 weeeeeks---weeeeee!!!!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Huge congratulations!

Is this your first?

Much luck and happy training to you and the soon-to-be new furry little one in your life!

I've got a bagel and some leftover chicken pad thai...

Why is it that the fewer contestants we have left, Gary, the more reading you're making us do????? With 7 contestants we had 14 entries, but with 5 we now have 15!! That's just NOT FAIR!

'Course I'm gonna read 'em all anyway, but still NOT FAIR!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Because they have to work harder the further they get!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

And two have been unlucky enough to meet me in person.

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

Almost over? What? Is this some sort of conspiracy? Someone better get on that shit...I heard that some people were totally plotting to make the game end in a few weeks. Damned Conspirators.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I heard it was me actually!!!

I'm behind everything! Bwaahahahahaha!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I posted this on my own LJ, but thought some people around here might enjoy it too.

It's a compiled list of "Potential Obama Running Mates".

I think the cat has a shot.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

There was a huge empty place in my life when my time in this contest ended. It's still there, but having the topics to still write on and the greenroom to chat in has helped.

I honestly don't know what I'll do when this season is over!

I'll miss the writing, voting, chatting to you all in here, and of course Ewok's wonderful food! *g*


I'm glad to have quite a few of you on my friends' list, as I would miss keeping up with you otherwise!

If anyone wants to friend me, I'd love it as I want to keep in touch with as many of you as possible once this season ends!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

psst, Need something that you can do when this season is over?

Ask gary EVERY SINGLE DAY...

"Is it time for Season Five yet?"

... until he says, "Yes."

Cause that never happens. It is just an idea I am tossing out there, you know. I got lots of them like this. *grin*
