Green Room - Week 0 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

There are days when I sit around wondering why there isn't some sort of generalized graphic with words on it that I can use to express my opinions. Maybe you could change the words for different emphasis, and even keep the same picture. 

This seems like it would be the best way to truly express my deepest and best thoughts that I want to share with the word. 

it's a shame that no one has thought to put these things together. Perhaps some of them could even have pictures of cats doing funny things.. I know, I know, I'm living in a dream.  But isn't that what today is about, this MLK Day, having a dream?

Not the Lionel Richie kind, although just as awesome. 

But rather the type that says "YES! We CAN come up with these graphic images with words and phrases, and they will say absolutely nothing important, and we will post them on the internet at a rate usually reserved for things crucial to our ongoing survival! 

Perhaps the word "freedom" could be involved. Because that's pretty darn important. 

That's just one of my dreams. What are yours?

Heads up: Today is the deadline for your Introduction to be posted: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/610188.html
The good news is that I pushed the time back a couple hours. So hopefully that will give everyone to time to finish! 

Topic - Week 1

Since everyone knows that no one goes home on Week 0, while you are waiting for the poll, I might as well throw you a bone. 

Or even better, a topic. 

Or maybe both a bone and a topic! I'm feeling generous! 

As you may recall, the topics for this mini-season have been supplied BY YOU, the contestants. 

So if you come across one you don't like, it was one of your fellow competitors who came up with it. 

If you come across one that you DO like, then keep in mind that I selected it off their suggestions! :) 

In keeping with the spirit of this season, there is only one way we could really start, and that's by asking the obvious question: 

Am I Crazy?

You have until Thursday, Jan 24th at 8pm EST to link your entries back to this thread. And yes, this time will count/is mandatory/however you want to say it..

Most importantly, though, have fun! 

Note: This thread is for entries only

Vote - Week 0

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Welcome to Week 0 of LJ Idol: Exhibit A, the special mini-season that could.

“Could” do what though, that is going to be the question. Hopefully, the contestants who have decided to take this particular adventure will help answer that question!

This week was a low-key “Introduction” phase, as people settled in and got used to their surroundings, before being driven off the cliff by the pack of wild dogs that I will unleash as soon as they are fast asleep.

As such, it wasn’t mandatory. Which means some people were not able to post an introduction. Which is a shame, because now we don’t know who they are! ;)

However, they are still in the competition, they just don’t get to take part in this particular aspect.

What is that aspect? Well, since they were good enough to Introduce themselves, I figured it was as good time to Introduce something of my own! It’s called a “flex-power”, you can use it ONCE, and have the choice of that use being for a bye (to “skip a week” OR as an immunity. Here’s the catch though, you can only use these powers ON SOMEONE ELSE. You can’t use it for yourself! But whoever has it will end up being one of the best loved contestants in the game. :)

Who will receive it? Well, that’s where this poll comes in!

I’m handing it to the person with the most votes!

And oh yeah, it’s “friends only”, which means only people who have friended the community can vote! Which makes this the best time to spread the news about the mini-season! ;)

The poll will close Wednesday, Jan 23rd at 8pm EST.

Good luck to everyone!
