Green Room - Sign Up Week - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yo Ho Yo Ho An Idol Life for Me!!!

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day Mateys. Or something like that. *shrug*

Before you go off to grab some booty (wow that sounded wrong) make sure you are signed up for this season: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/175551.html

The deadline is today at noon EST after all! After that, the sign ups for Season 5 will have walked the plank!

Once you do that, then check out: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/176456.html for the Week 0 entries (deadline is Monday)

Hope you unearth a wonderful treasure of a day. Or I dunno, have a parrot poop on you. Whatever it is people do on a Pirate themed day!!

Arrr!

I used to have a parrot. I've had parrot poop on me more than you'd imagine.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

*makes a tic in KR's column*

Congrats!

You need some balloons!

[shannon-elaine.livejournal.com]

Good morning!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Morning!

Got big plans for the day?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Morning all!

[no TLaPD for me.]

I have managed to get through 18!! intros so far. *sigh*

There have been some fun ones, I must say.

I am pleased to see so many new faces.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I've read twenty-some-odd, but I haven't written mine yet. It's a mistake for me to read other people's entries before I write my own, and I won't be doing that on any future weeks.

But I'm not in a writing zone yet, and I need to get there. This week has been tough. Luckily I have today to rest and play. :)

Booty grabbing this early in the morning? Shiver me timbers!

*waves at all the Season 5 contestants*

Are you guys excited?

I can't wait to read your creations!

*hugs*

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to get started on the the topics that await...

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Thanks for not mentioning Monkeys this morning. I didn't want to start the day off scared by thinking of them. Oh wait, I just did.

How is everyones morning?

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Morning...
A bit slow moving here but it's Friday and I thank the gods for that.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Good morning, everyone!

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Morning!

[sky-designs.livejournal.com]

Morning!

I will be more talkative in another hour or two... just woke up and I feel like I'm hungover. Didn't get to sleep until almost 1am because of fallout flailings and fangirl squeeling in relation to last night's Supernatural premiere.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I need to watch Supernatural, DVR'ed it.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Morning...
HAPPY FRIDAY...
I am so happy Friday and the weekend is here.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

We need a weekend too.

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

rock_princess98 is a blind girl on my friends list who wants to participate in idol but is having a hard time understanding how to follow all the posting rules.

She uses Jaws as a screen reader. As of right now she has signed up correctly, and has written her intro post. However, she has not yet linked her intro post and has not yet figured out how to make her intro post a public post.

If any one can help her I would be eternally grateful! I just have no knowledge of using a screen reader and don't know how to help her.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

SUPPORT TEAM: do you think we could get bax or imafarmgirl to help out with the FAQ for this?

[jackie.livejournal.com]

Today's my step-mom's birthday. :D For her 40th, we wore eye patches and pirate hats at dinner. It was quite entertaining. XD

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

That sounds like fun! Do you have any group pictures? I'd love to see that!

[chite.livejournal.com]

Yarr!

Have a happy day everyone!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*hugs*...been reading your LJs sorry I haven't been able to comment.. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Arrr!

*where's the bloody booty*?

Hey..you opened up that door.. :)

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Yarr!!! ;) Mornin, Charlie!

I has the booty! You'll have to fight me to the death for it! Muhahahahaha!

Grap. I don't have a pirate icon. I guess I'll have to use my ninja icon...

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I just realized that I have no pirate icons! I just have my Ninja Wok icon. So I'll use that. :^)

Happy Friday everyone! I get to leave work at noon today. We're leaving for Harrisburg as soon as I get home. (I'm already packed. MinPin is packed. John and Chuck are still asleep on the couch and not packed.)

When I came to work this morning, it was a chilly 48F. ZOMG Fall is finally here. And that dreaded s-word is right around the corner... *wok whimper*

Anyone else gonna watch the Steelers beat up on the Eagles on Sunday?! Muhahahahaha! ;)

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Those slackers!!!!!!!!!

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

Good morning LJ Idol!

Today I'm working on a review of a subliminal weight-loss mp3. It's absolutely nothing like I thought it would be.

What are you doing?

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I'm at work. Obviously not working. ;)

Actually I'm paying bills, stuffing envelopes, and "stamping" the envelopes. I miss being able to lick the stamps. I hate the adhesive ones... *sad*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Spydie, do you still have the picture of those pirates from the Smithsonian? *g*

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Posted in the room already - look for "Pirate Lasses"

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Sorry I haven't gone through all the comments BUT Google has an option in their languages section that is "Pirate" and your googling is then done in "pirate" speak.

Quite fun.

I'll be around more later. Peter just got back from LA and I have to get Caroline off to school.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Oh man... must test out google pirate speak search!

[sleepwalkdance.livejournal.com]

Hullo all!

*uses only pirate icon*

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

That is precious.. that cat is an ass kicker I bet!

Community Membership

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Hey all!

I am shocked!! Some of the newbies who are going to be playing the game have not joined the community!

Further, there are some new people who are NOT on my friends list *giggle* or even my friends-of-friends list, which makes me think their friends may not be community members either.

There are two very important reasons to join.

1. Support!

By joining the community, you are showing your support for the game. You won't miss the announcements of topics, deadlines, green rooms (and you could even have a coveted FIRST COMMENT).

2. Voting rights!

There are votes which are restricted to members of the community only. Only <lj user

I messed up and wore my Mickey Pirate shirt yesterday... arrr(gh)!

I'm at work, but I'm going to see if I can slip any subtle "arrrrs" or "mateys" into my speech here and there, LOL!

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Mickey Pirate shirt??!? Well, Mickey is a lying, conniving, thief!

[rapidrabbit.livejournal.com]

I have not been awake long enough to have the presence of mind for pirate talk. I'm sure I'd end up speaking Yiddish or something instead.

Also, holy bejeezus is it taking me forever to get through the intros. I can see why this competition takes over people's lives! I think I need to learn to speed read....

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

The first few weeks/months really takes some planning to sit down and read through the entries. I usually try to read at night before I go to bed... I read that day's entries only so I don't have to worry about getting behind.

I love that icon. ;)

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

I was GOING to wear my Pirate shirt and then decided NO! No pirates... I am a rebel... a maverick... (but not a McCain supporter... at least not now... back in 2000 though?)

I can do a Pirate Day WHEN I WANT TO! Not on International DAY!

Screw that! I want to be a Pirate? I'm a Pirate! I want to be a Ninja? I'm a Ninja! I want to be a Rock Star? I'm a Rock Star!

I'm just glad to have done my Intro post. Read some other intro posts and for it to be Friday.

I've got an awesome gallery show I was specially invited to go tonight.

The art gallery stuff is a major part of grief recovery, so whenever I can!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I'm secretly a ninja. Look, my icon says so. So :^p.

You know, I have a Pittsburgh Pirates shirt at home. Maybe I could get away with wearing my Jack Wilson (SS) shirt? Wait, no. I can't let people know that I'm a Pirates fan. *looks around to green room and sees that everyone was listening* Dammit. /headdesk

Wondering what you have signed up for?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

There have been a couple of discussions about topics.

Oh, how we love hate love hate love hate love hate love hate
love the topics we have had to write about.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I am absolutely silly about geeky stuff. I love to keep track of things. I have a horrible memory, but it has a wonderful index. If I found it once, I might not remember the details, but I can find it again.

So, with some help from fellow contestants, I started maintaining this complete list of topics since Season 1 of the game. Enjoy!!

Re: Wondering what you have signed up for?

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

That is such a good idea. I am excited to know the first topic. I hope it is something very random. :)

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

ok I have a serious question, what is up with Diet Pepsi?

It tastes like water!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

If you want taste with zero calories? Go for Coke Zero. Best. Diet. Soda. EVAH! ;)

Chite agrees with me.

[angelic-oni.livejournal.com]

Good morning, folks.

Did y'all know Supernatural is back? I didn't until I checked some flists last night and then EVERY POST was about SPN. So. Happy post-SPN day, to the fans.

I just woke up and need to hunt down some coffee.

Drink up me hearties, yo ho!

Drink... Drink what?!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Wait... WHERE'S ALL THE RUM?!

*looks all through the green room but can't find it!*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Okay, so you all know how I was stuffing and licking envelopes?

Yeah, paper cut on my upper lip. Hurts like a MOFO. Switched to taping the damn things shut, instead... Bah.

Get to leave in 45 mins! *squee!*

[angelic-oni.livejournal.com]

Yay for leaving soon! Boo to paper cuts on your lip. I want all offices everywhere to switch from regular envelopes to sticky tape envelopes. They save so much time and energy.
