[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

So, what's up?

Nothing much here. Just sitting around. Maybe taking a nap.

Not much going on tonight either. I think I might watch some TV and hang out with the cats. . . oh? What was that?

Sign ups? Oh yeah. Those are closing TODAY aren't they?? At 7 EDT!!

Wow, it's about to start!

[jo-mako.livejournal.com]

Yippee!!!

[amenquohi.livejournal.com]

Work, work, work. But hey, I work at a chocolate factory. How bad can it be?

[stormkitty.livejournal.com]

I would so get fired from a chocolate factory because I'd be sneaking chocolates. Mmmmmmmmm chocolate.

[stormkitty.livejournal.com]

Morning! I'm finishing my first cup of coffee, looking over my schedule, and getting ready to get to work. I really just want to go back to sleep, but I have too much to do this week to do that.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Hope your day is a good one!

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

I am listening to NPR and wondering if a tax on soda would be a good thing or not.

Feel free to discuss.

Good morning!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Me too! Well, and now carbon offsets.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

There's a deadline today??


As of today I have my own business set up in addition to my part time job, so that's great =D All the paperwork was done in just one morning too which was even better!

And now, I'm translating. And pondering.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yes.

I considered putting up a LIST OF SHAME with ONE NAME ON IT.

YOURS.

Just so you would feel at home. :P

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

Why am I still awake?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Good morning everyone!

I am so excited for all of you!!!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Spydie :)

It's a blustery day here which makes me want to stay home curled up with a good book. Alas, I am being a good little Canine and am at work helping students "have equal access and equil opportunity for success."
*sigh* those words make it sound so simple...

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

I want to stay home but I have a dinner meeting later this afternoon! Sigh... and I hope my throat is not telling me I am getting sick...

[shadowwolf13]

I'm so excited! I talked Lynn (apisanthrop) into joining us too. It's looking like it's going to be an awesome season!

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

*cheers*

wish I had more time to read introductions....

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on that one! It's been far too busy of a week to read them all.

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

good morning

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

I'm getting my boys ready to go to their Parents Day Out. After that, I think Rich and I may grab breakfast before I need to go to work. I'm really looking forward to finding out who will be competing this season, so I'm probably going to check that from work tonight. (Even though I know I shouldn't be!)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Good morning! My work schedule is all screwed up this week, which is why I haven't been around. Hell, I think this is the first time I've been on LJ for more than 5-10 minutes since the weekend!

It's freezing here :shivers:

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

It was raining cats and dogs here this morning - I almost stepped in a poodle!

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

Because I have nothing better to do, I was reflecting on the thread where people were talking about which states/countries have the most representation.

Based on those people that actually disclosed their location in either their userinfo or their intro post, the state leaders are:

California - 18
Florida - 12
Texas - 9
New York - 9
North Carolina - 7
Georgia - 7
Minnesota - 7
Pennsylvania - 7

And the country leader outside of the U.S. are:
Canada - 16
United Kingdom - 7
Australia - 3

I'll post a list with the entire totals once signups/intros are closed and we know who all is actually participating.

There are 56 people that haven't said where they are from. If you're one of them and you want your state/country repped, lemme know, I'll update my spreadsheet. The locationless folk:

Arkansas.

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

More rain and drear today. More papers to grade. Considering baking something to brighten the afternoon. I have graham cracker crumbs, condensed milk, sugar, flour, eggs, milk, and probably some butter. Oh, and the candied fruit hubby bought for a bout of holiday bread making.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

It's raining here today too! Blech.

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

What I'm doing tonight...nothing.

Making a first atempt at a project maybe. Emails, but nothing. Tomorrow?...well depending what the topic is...

who knows, right?

I have coffee, need breakfast. Have voice lessons later today (Need to scrounge up money to go) And...that's about it.

Phoenix

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Well this one hopes that one has a nice day whatever it may hold.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Morning...
I am starting to dread the workday and looking towards 5pm. Boss is out with sick kid, coworker out with sick kid, another one doesn't come in until 10:45am and the last one...a bit MIA at the moment so this could play out to be an interesting day.

[tamaraland.livejournal.com]

Are they all down with the blandemic or is it just something else going around? My office is empty, but I think everyone's at a conference.

[sdaisyk.livejournal.com]

Have the day off today, going to spend most of the afternoon and evening helping at an auction for the Canine Seizure Assist Society.

I'm contemplating heading back to bed, had a bout of insomnia last night that had me awake for a few hours. I was back to sleep when my parents let me know they were leaving. My dad has doctors' appointments where he got his stem cell transplant today and tomorrow (just check-ups thankfully) then they are off to visit my uncle and his family for my Dad's birthday this weekend. Get the house to myself for a few days.

[thepheenixeyri.livejournal.com]

That's always nice. :)

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

I read a lot of introductions last night and watched a weird movie. I don't remember the name, but there was a glowing hand, creepy Quaker women who threw rocks at sleeping people, and a surprising amount of nudity.

I think I should re-watch it and pay more attention to what is going on. To be honest, it started out so slow that by the time the glowing hand got my attention, I had no idea what was going on.

Theno

[pricelessone.livejournal.com]

Weird! What's up with all the weird movies lately? But your description of it did make me laugh.

[myscribbles.livejournal.com]

Getting excited now :D think I'll spend today goin through more intros :D

Morning all :)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Mornin'! Can't wait for this crazy train to leave the station either!

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to the next prompt, and feeling like things have for real started around here. Of course, I'm still slogging my way through intro posts and trying to actually read them all and say hello to people. I doubt that I'll be able to sustain that level of attention throughout the competition, but in the beginning, I think it would be nice to at least welcome people at the outset.

Otherwise, I'm at work, wishing I was still in bed. Have a nice cup of Organic Rainforest Mate to warm me and a scone in my belly.

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

It's tough at first, but it will actually get easier as the season rolls on and there are less contestants - and more people you really recognize!

I just ate a granola bar...I should make myself some tea too.

[jo-mako.livejournal.com]

I'm considering caticide...mine is on a roll this morning with the douchbaggery.

*glares at furry whirlwind of menace*

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

LOL! Mine decided to have a whine fest at 5 this morning when my three-year-old son crawled in bed with me.

So then Sam is going "Jack wants to be petted, mama. I want to pet Jack."

And I'm growling "Go back to sleep, Sam. Go back to sleep Jack! It's too dark for petting, boys!"

[estelwen.livejournal.com]

More enforced idleness, interspersed with a staff meeting and a trip to the doctor.
The spreadsheet (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhmeYdqKlSDxdF9qN2V0Wm43U1NVVnU1V09QS29FNXc&hl=en) of doom the contestants is newly updated and still available for people to copy.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Apparently, it can't be accessed without a Google account...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Morning, all. It's raining cats and dogs here - I almost stepped in a poodle on my way in from the parking lot!

I'm at work, and shouldn't be online... shhhhh, don't tell!

Still half a bajillion intros left to read (okay, about 100)... oy.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Loveses the rain here. :-)
