Green Room - week 16 - Weekend Edition

We aren't even 24 hours into this and already the voting totals are up across the board. Some are higher than others, but then again some people come out of the blocks faster. It's the totals at the end that will matter and just watching the *current bottom* I've got a feeling that it's going to be close.

I know from reading the entries it will be - there is just *so much* quality material out there that regardless of what the end vote total is I just have a distinct feeling of loss regardless of who ends up going. It's going to be someone really good. Heck, it's going to be *10 people* who are really good.

I just hope that those people know that anyone leaving the game at this point has a lot to be proud about!

Anyway - so how is your weekend going? Other than the Doom and the F5 injuries of course!*g*

oh, and Happy Birthday to jenandbronze - or at least Jen.*g*

Voting is crazy this time around. Personally I'm hoping to see my total come up at least a bit more, but I've felt this impending Doom over the past couple of weeks for some reason...

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Me too- looks like this could be the end of the line for me.

[norda.livejournal.com]

So far, so good.

What's it called when the person who starts the war is the one who is readying the humanitarian aid?


Also: I just hope that those people know that no one leaving the game at this point has a lot to be proud about!

I think there's a typo in there somewhere, unless you're in a mean mood. :P

"What's it called when the person who starts the war is the one who is readying the humanitarian aid?"

The AMERICAN WAY!!!!! Damn commies. . .*g*

"I just hope that those people know that no one leaving the game at this point has a lot to be proud about!"

Wait is that written right?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Seriously! *dies*

I'm running away to join the vory v zakone now.

Happy Saturday green room,

And a great big hug and happy birthday to my good friend
jenandbronze.

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Thank you great girlfriend!

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

quinoa is yummy

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Any recipe you'd like to share? I was thinking of using some this week.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Good morning! Just hanging out. I got a new CD cabinet for the overflow of CD's I have and am labeling them and organizing. Sounds exciting doesn't it? (I have to labelt he cases in Braille so I know what I have). So that is my project for the weekend really. And of course finishing entries and voting. It's very very cold here. Hope all are having a great weekend!

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Wanna label mine? I have over half my collection labeled, and don't know half of what i got to label them!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

It finally got above zero but not much above zero.

Weekend is starting off slow but it is a three-day weekend so that is fine by me.

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Oh so lucky to have a three-day weekend! Enjoy it! : D

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Just curious, anyone else not ask their friends list for votes yet in the competition? (not that there's anything wrong with that -- I'm just waiting until I really need it before I pull that card out)

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

I bet your friends would appreciate the reminder. Go for it, I say!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*Happy birthday!*

:)

*is sitting at my big chair in my warm pajamas watching news coverage of the president elect's train ride*...

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Bows down.

"*checks to make sure the weapons cabinets are still locked and everything is accounted for*"

Yeah, but did you make sure nobody can get their hands on any 2x4's? And what about the kitchen? I have the feeling we are about to descend into some of the scrappin'est hand-to-hand fighting--excuse me, "reading"--we've seen yet.
;D

I'm just getting up and deciding whether I want to make my uber macaroni and cheese (that is to say, box mac with sour cream instead of milk, and Cheezits crushed in just before it's done) or this really neat thing Delorean and I saw on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives last night - it's like a pancake with corn in it, covered with black beans, then nachos ingredients on top.

The polls are close, and I finally sent my spreadsheet home to myself so I could keep entering numbers and watching totals fluctuate. I should be helping paint today, but I'm claiming illness... you people and your giving of colds through the interwebs!!!

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

I'd go with ANYTHING someone named DeLorean is associated with. Can DeLorean reach precisely 88mph at 10:04 on Saturday night?

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

I am taking a great, big, grown-up step today and cutting the umbilical cord. So to speak. I don't ever have to go home again if I don't wanna! And lord, my mother is going to try to keep me here. So I'm packing with a little more speed than usual...

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Good luck on that! ::hugs::

Today is going to be a quiet day today. We are not doing my birthday celebration until my sister is back from Regina tomorrow morning. We will dinner and rent movies. Yesterday, CNIB staff held a surprise party for me after the media interview.... yes, I am going to be in all the newspapers in town, again. Here's a pix of me, for those who are not on my Friends list.

No, Nixon did *NOT* get any cake! Neither is my retired guide, Bronze, got any either!

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday to you! I hope it's a wonderful one.

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Firstly, happy birthday to Jen!

I went out earlier this morning to get groceries and I just had doughnuts and coffee with baxaphobia and Bruno. mmmm. I bought a dozen so required help eating them. There are a few left if anyone wants some.

When I woke up it was -6 outside. ug.
I'm not sure if it has even made it to zero. I still have about half of the entries left to read.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

The doughnuts were great! It's been a day of snacking and labeling. Exciting. I gave up for the night. Tomorrow is another day and I'll get at least another 200 done or so.

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

John and I are celebrating our anniversary today (since I had to work yesterday). First up, a trip to a Chinese Buffet, then a trip to the mall. Maybe a trip to Blockbuster, too...

*worried about this weekend's poll*

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Happy celebrating! Eat lots!

I am worried about the vote as well. I haven't read your entry yet, but I heard it was fantastic!

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

I refuse to watch the poll until after I vote, and that won't be until sometime tomorrow. So at the moment the nervousness is just a background feeling, without specifics.

I am meeting a friend for lunch and a movie this afternoon - after that it is opening night for the show I've been working on all week. Should be a good day.

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Check this out!

Here's an article about me in the newspaper!!!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

WOOT!!!! That's so neat!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Well...hello Green Room!

I've been on the work treadmill for the last couple of days. The $&(@#^!@%@ cold isn't helping matters any, especially since now there's some sort of bug floating through Current Employer. One of my coworkers has it. Ewww.

We're supposedly having yet another snowstorm starting sometime tomorrow morning. So much for trying to clean out SO's storage unit :shakes head:

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

: ( Hope you don't get sick!

Entry Outtakes

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

And here, dear LJ Idolists, is one of the pictures that didn't make the final cut for my entry :D

Re: Entry Outtakes

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

... wow. Is that even legal?

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday to Jen! And no kidding about losing 10 talented writers this week. Everyone on that list has wowed me at one point or another, so it's going to be difficult to see who is eliminated this week. I haven't checked polls except to link it to my lj. I would worry myself sick if I refreshed all the time I think hehe.

Great weekend - unplanned - for me! I'm feeling good. My husband doesn't know it yet, but he's going to go and get us take out for dinner tonight I think *g*. We've cleaned out our aquarium real nice and our fish are thriving so looks like we can restock soon! And I'm re-reading Flowers for Algernon right now. I haven't finished it and don't remember the ending, but so far I'm really enjoying it.

What's everyone else reading outside of idol?

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Yummy, what kind of take out? I'm having junk food here.

I'm reading Inkdeath.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

All voting now just watching...

My weekend, we finally are abover zero and into positive temps. I totally forgot what that felt like. Finally got my car started last night which I thought would improve my weekend, went to belly dance class this morning and was feeling good. Then did the bad thing of checking my mail, got a letter from school telling me I am not making satisfactory academic progress so they may yannk my financial aid. Needless to say confused and in a bit of panic because I have a 4.0 for fall semester and a 3.75 for a cumulative.

I wish I could find out what's going on but with the holiday on Monday I have to wait till Tuesday. Have a good weekend all.

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the school stuff. That is really stressful. Hopefully they have you mixed up with someone else.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, Jen!

I managed to vote (go me), although I gave up commenting at some point (coughing fits).

We are trying to finish buying a car today. We test drove our top three, and are going to go back and see if we can get the financing and insurance stuff done this afternoon.

Wish us luck.

(Yes, I will post photos if we get it worked out to our satisfaction.)

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Luck. How exciting

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I just saw "Into the Wild" and I think I want to cry. :(

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've seen that. Is it a TV show or a movie? Is it sad or disturbing? ::consoles boxsofrain::

[pinkslit.livejournal.com]

So, I'm in a bad funky funk tonight and new friends always cheer me up so I'm going on a friend adding frenzy while reading entries.

Anyone want to be my friend?

Add me!!!! I'm really fun when I'm not being batshit crazy...and even that is pretty amusing.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Awww. sorry you are in a funk. I can't add you. I'm already there!
