The Last Green Room of Season Four

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

"Grab something to drink, kick back, and see who else shows up" - I went back and looked. That is what I said in the "pre-show Green Room". back on October 23rd.

Every day (ok, ok - *almost* every day) since then you have done just that. You've taken a few minutes, hours, most of your time in some cases, out of your day and spent it here in the Green Room.

I just want to let you know how much that has meant to me. I've loved having all of you - well, ok, most of you (heh) here!*g*

There have been laughs, jokes, disagreements, resentment, mourning, support, joy, love - and, I hope for most of you, a sense of belonging to this place. A place to go to be interact with people, to get to know them - and where you always knew you would find something of interest going on, or at very least a cyber buffet!

Thank you to all of you for making The Season 4 Green Room so damn special. *applauds you*

This is the last Green Room of Season 4. There will be a couple more posts. Saying goodbye to our second and third place finishers - the official announcement of this season's LJ IDOL - and of course on Friday there will be our WRAP PARTY!!!! We're in the process of setting up the Banquet Hall where we will be holding that event. Hopefully you can all make it to that and make it one hell of a party to remember!

For now though, the food trays out are out.

Yeah, I know it's late, or early, where you are when I'm posting this. But they will be bringing out time appropriate food throughout the day for your enjoyment.

Don't forget to check the fridge for any containers you might have left in there. Anything left after Friday will be discarded as trash.

This is a place for you to interact. Contestants and spectators together - the community that makes LJ IDOL.

Grab something to drink. Kick back. See who shows up - and let's see what happens next!

Last to be first?

*laughing*

I never got the first comment all season. You people either stay up too late or get up too early, I can't figure out which.

SNUGGLE PILE!!!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I likes snuggles! SNUGGLE PILE! (There is no good-byes. Only "see you laters!")

*grabs Shay and starts to snuggle*

Re: SNUGGLE PILE!!!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

*Grabs Shay and Wok and snuggles in for the night*

Who else wants a piece of the Snuggle Pie?

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I made a big ol' pot of (beef & 4 bean) chili this evening, so I'm offering that up for a late night (et al) snack, along with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Zesta crackers, and cornbread on the side.

And now, I'm off to bed. Night!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

CORNBREAD!!! YAY!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Oh man, the last one? NONONONONONONO!

Ok, has turkey, cranberry sauce and takes some of the mashed potatos and gravy along with the green bean casserole.

And I am willing to share my Jim Bean Black with folks.

I really and truly made up my mind about voting. Done!

*peeks over*

"And I am willing to share my Jim Bean Black with folks."

[real quiet-like] You got any vodka? I am having orange juice for breakfast...

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

Good night all

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

It's a bit late to say good night, so I'll say good morning to you sir instead! :-)

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

GARY! Not Fair! :-)

You weren't supposed to sneak the last Green Room in when I wasn't around to try for first comment. *g*

When this was posted, I was on the way to my job interview.

It went very well, so the consultant that interviewed me will be recommending me for the next round of interviews with the employer, which should be later next week.

Thanks to everyone who wished me luck! I know it all helped!

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Yay! Congratulations. Keep us posted on how things progress!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

This is so sad! I know tons of you are on my flist but there is something special about the green room! It's the first message I look for when getting up in the morning. Sigh.

Chocolate peanut butter cake for breakfast! Now that's living!

I'll be around most of the day. I have a social security hearing this morning that i know will be a bust but oh well.

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

good morning! Sets out serving dishes of: *bacon* *french toast with maple syrup and bananas*, *home fried potaes*, *coffee*

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I'll be catching up on green room fun tonight and tomorrow night, as i'll be offline all day today and tomorrow teaching. :(

::kicks Gary for making me cry::

::starts stomping a bunch of Pepsi and Coke Zero cans for recycling::

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I've got to be at work in an hour, so unless everyone's hanging out here tonight, I guess this is my last GR visit until next season...

*gazes at the walls and gives a long sigh*

_{I think I'm going to cry}

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

It's our [GR] party, we can cry if we want to.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I am gonna miss this place. Oh, wait!

*checks under the doormat*

Darn it. No key. Maybe someone snitched a copy when he wasn't looking?

*chokes back a sob*

[bretzysdude.livejournal.com]

Any games here for the party?

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

We've been playing Pin the Tale all season! ;)

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

*cries*

Man, now I will have to actually get ready for work in the morning instead of checking the green room...what's a girl to do.

Then there is the whole lack of checking the GR while I should be working.
*cries more*

I have quite enjoyed the green room, my first idol, reading some fantastic enties and best yet getting to know some amazing people. I wish everyone the best.

[chite.livejournal.com]

Good morning!

I'm going to go work today showing houses, so I will also be away for much of the final green room.

Love you all! Have a great day!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your showings!

[welfy.livejournal.com]

This is so hard to watch! The voting is so close!

Hehe, I remember I had people text-message me the results because I was at work all day during our final vote. I got probably 20 messages that day saying, "You're the LJ IDOL! YAY!" It was so exciting!

Luckily the results are ending for this one when I'll be home and can see for myself!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*sniff sniff*..

this is all coming to a bloody end...

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh - this is so tense! Exciting though.
*dons her librarian's cap and goes off to her second day at new job*

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the new job!!

[mme-furiosa.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it is almost over. But then again, it has been SO LONG, I can totally believe it.

I am on pins and needles watching the votes. Which is why I gotta stop. Good luck, beautifuls!

It's been said before, and will be said again--you are all winners at this point.

[norda.livejournal.com]

It's been interesting to watch this from the outside from beginning to end this season.

The first season I missed entirely.

I didn't become aware of Idol at all until two weeks before the end of the second season, when some random people Friended my LJ out of the blue. One of them ended up winning.

Last season I stopped reading midway because Life was just too hairy.

This year I was there from the beginning, and came THIS close to entering myself.

I've read every single entry. Really and for true. It's been a mammoth task.

The finalists should be proud and pleased, and I look forward to the results of this final vote.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Reading every single entry has been an amazing thing, hasn't it?

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Is there no off season gathering area? How sad. :(

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

How many days into this adventure are we now? What a wild ride!

Gary, you're a genius...a cruel puppetmaster genius, but a genius, lol!

And to the final three...I wish you a miraculous three-way tie because you are all amazing women and amazing writers :)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*shhh*

He will let all that praise go to his head!
