Green Room - Week 1 - Day 8

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning. :)

(OK, it's still my evening, because I'm not yet asleep, but it's got to be morning somewhere!)

So I say again: Good morning!

Hopefully people have been continuing to vote for their favorites: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/261793.html An entry you love not doing as well as you think it should? Tell people about it.

It's the same with anything else. You have a favorite song, you tell your friend about it. A book? A link to a site you've found yourself drawn to for hours on end. . . you tell someone. It's how they get exposure.

If you find a writer and their work is something that you want to support, should it really be any different?

*Turns it over and uses soapbox as makeshift washtub in makeshift jug band*. . .

So - How are you doing in this extended week? ;)

First?

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Damn you! lol...

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Wow. A Green Room at 10? Nice. I get to be first for a change! Wooo Hoooo!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

not for me...I'm usually up early...

but then I really shouldn't be...since we have the flu and all...

Sleep cycle's kind of fucked up...

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

I love it when the green room goes live and I am still at work. My big plans for the rest of the night involve going to a friend's to watch Project Runway. Whee!

I've finished reading but my internet went wonky just as I was starting to vote. So I'll have to finish that tomorrow.

i'd love if my weekend meant going to a friend's. sadly, had my wisdom teeth extracted this morning and cannot move... like... full of pain and unable to function.

[beloved-tree.livejournal.com]

Oooo, impromptu jugband! Fun! *grabs a comb and some wax paper*

I would be doing better if I'd prepped at all for the class I'm teaching tomorrow morning. :/ I've been Super Scatterbrain Teacher all week, and tomorrow doesn't seem like it's going to be any better.

Oh, well. Then it's the weekend! I'm gonna go see Where the Wild Things Are!

[ETA]: What are people's thoughts on the ConCrit Green Room threads -- should we continue to post them during these in-between times when submissions are closed but people are still reading/voting? Or should they only go up when submissions are open?

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

A jugband? Can I play the spoons??? :-)

I can't wait to see that movie... soooo looking forward to it.

[quoting-mungo.livejournal.com]

I'm only up because my mother woke me up to get a USB memory out of my computer. Going back to bed now. Good morning, Green Room. ;)

[darkprism.livejournal.com]

*props eyeballs open*

What the hell am I doing up again?

Oh yeah. Reading LJ Idol entries.

At 1:00 a.m....my life currently calls for distraction.

And may I just say...I'm really quite enjoying douchejuice's entry. I love me some evil.

(This isn't a surprise, is it? Didn't think so.)

Wake me up when there's bacon.

<3

two links in one green room? i'm getting misty

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Finishing and editing my dissertation! Like, now! Oh, how good it shall be to be done, done, done and then be able to get in on all this green room fun stuff.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!! What is it about?

[oldscratchx.livejournal.com]

Last week my computer died. I waited for 7 to come out and blam, here I am making my first LJ comment on my new laptop.

Computer death sucks ass, but computer life is fucking awesome.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Windows 7? If so, how do you like it?

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

I'm actually having a fairly good week, though next week will be even better: Monday brings the annual anniversary/Halloween themed costume party where I work, which is always 10 pounds of drunken shenanigans in a 5 lb. bag. Thursday is my birthday, and I am going to enjoy some wine and haunted housing with my girlfriends. And Saturday is Halloween, my favorite holiday. :D Not a bad way to wind up October.

[blythe025.livejournal.com]

I'm ready for the weekend. I need the rest. :)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I'm ready for the weekend. I need to get away from my co-workers. lol...

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I just got one question... why do people still put votes in for some people when there's the whole "Bye Week – Votes For This Contestant Will Not Count" next to their name?

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

It's kind of a friendly "I support you and you're doing a great job!" thing. Sort of to let a writer know you support their brand, not just one product.

We <3 warm fuzzies here.

Good morning

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

It is still my evening too. I am up working, after spending the day with friends (big and little) and then more friends.

Ahhh there is a Social Life out there... who would have thought???

I am way behind on this reading thing, but I am way behind on lots of other things too.

Re: Good morning

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting everything read....2 pages to go. *sigh*

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Well it's Friday night here which is traditionally Thea-does-nothing-but-reality-TV-night. However, there's nothing but ANTM at the moment and I have a heap of decorating and work to do on the Idol book so I suspect I'll end up doing productive stuff.

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

My nose is still stuffy, but less so.

Got some more personal statements done.

Have an appointment for a facial and a massage tomorrow. Good stuff.

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

A massage sounds lovely!

[lady-hoshi.livejournal.com]

still reading.
had an "interesting" dinner with my father.

Finished some long overdue clothing repairs I promised someone. Rescued a pretty tablecloth from becoming cleaning rags(may become a skirt or shirt, undecided still)

and now I am avoiding friends who have suddenly remembered I can sew. Wonder if halloween being about a week away has anything to do with it. I do not do fast and cheap(or free).

[tamaraland.livejournal.com]

Hopefully your version of "interesting" indicates a better time was had than when I say I had an "interesting" time with my parents!

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

...has anyone ever written a book (or at least a book-size narrative) that uses each week's prompt as a chapter subject/theme in each chapter? Because that would be amazing. And if you're doing that and I just didn't notice last week (because my attention span is that of a fly) let me know.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I know jack_batelin's entries seem to be heading that direction.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I have typed up a huge rant I've been wanting to write, and now I'm hoping that one of the Idol prompts will allow me to post it so I don't have to just limit it to friends! haha

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. I've gotten a bit behind in my reading due to visiting with friends (*waves to monologuewithin, who wumped me at Scrabble*) and being away from home.

Tomorrow we're not sure what we'll be doing, but Saturday we're going to drive up to Mt. Rainier National Park with misalady and her boyfriend - w00tness!

Is it morning?

[tamaraland.livejournal.com]

Well, it is here, although you wouldn't know it since the sun isn't up until 8:30 these days. I hate driving to work in the dark.

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

I've been working with a personal trainer for the first time in my life for the last three weeks. I used to think that line about "hurting in places where I didn't know I had places" was a joke, but it turns out my years of solo workouts were sort of a dismal failure. I've also discovered - much to my shock - that my left side is significantly weaker than my right side. As in "my right side is my actual age (41) and my left side is 96."

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

How is that even possible? To have your left side like more than twice your actual age?

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Good morning everyone. Happy Friday!

[tamaraland.livejournal.com]

Happy indeed! I really need a rest this weekend.

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

I'm exhausterated. This morning stuff. Ugh.

I think I need sex...

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

Dr Theno prescribes you to have two orgasms and post about it in the morning.

He also hopes that he isn't showing his age with that joke.

Friday noon here, and I have an afternoon of finishing up translations, administration and then hopefully a visit to drop off gifts for my SO's future nephew/godchild.

AND THEN I WANT TO REST ALL WEEKEND. SCREW ANYTHING ELSE.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Oh and so far I really loved joeymichaels entry because it stood out so much in what I have read so far :)

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

Good Morning Green Room!

I just woke up a bit ago. I've had my shower and am now enjoying a bowl of apricot-pistachio granola. Yum. Gonna check some email and do a little reading before I leave for work.

Today is probably going to be a crazy day at work. But, I'll be able to remain in positive spirits, because I know that it's almost the weekend. Having a couple of days to rest and do whatever I feel like doing is nice.

Tonight I am hoping that I will be able to put together my Week 1 Round Up post.

Hope that everyone has a lovely day.
