Green Room - Week 24 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning or afternoon if you're just waking up and reading this in the afternoon. Or evening if you're in some other part of the world other than right here next to me. Because I've looked and I didn't see you. Unless you've gotten much better at hiding. I suspect you have.

But you would stick out trying to crawl under that fooseball table. So don't even try it.

A coworker/friend received a windfall of fresh oranges. I mean real oranges from The Sunshine State! Treats for all! Man, it smells so good around here. Sun is supposed to be back out and warm up again. Maybe I can get some more garden work done after work. AW

Yum, fresh oranges!

I'm in the middle of re-edging our front lawn and trying to make everything look not so bedraggled (really, the bushes need so much trimming it's scary). Now it's suddenly dark and stormy-looking here. It was so bright and sunshiny a few minutes ago!

I'm guessing you don't mean Queensland, which is Australia's Sunshine State! Florida? I think they have oranges on the license plates on cars...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

LOL - yes, our "Sunshine State" is Florida!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Woo, good guess! :D

That's a very intriguing icon you have there.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

We Americans sometimes forget that folks in other locales may not know what our "Sunshine State" is, or that they may have one of their own!

I forget where I found the picture for the icon, but it's an orange inside the skin of a Granny Smith apple. I call it "Juicy Apple." =)

I think there aren't too many countries that actually have "states," at least. I mean, Canada has provinces. I have no idea what other countries name state sized areas of their own, though. I still like the idea of broadening the wold view where I can ;)

That's what it looked like to me! It reminds me of the apple sorbet my husband bought from a shop here in Malaysia which was basically half an apple, frozen, with most of the inside cut out (so the skin plus about half a cm of the fruit) and filled with sorbet. It was a bit hard for me to eat, though! The frozen fruit part in particular.

Here they're counties. I think XD

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

In the UK? I know it varies from country to country. We actually have states in Malaysia.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'll bet the frozen apple part was more for prettiness than edibility!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly! My husband still ate it, though.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS!!!!

P.S. I need an ice cream icon... hmmm...

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Maybe it would've been if my teeth weren't being so sensitive XD

You mean, like this one? (I think this is my ice cream icon)

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... I think I might just steal that. :)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

haha. Well, as long as you credit the person who made it for me. Hopefully she won't mind.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

you think she will? >.>

btw you have html fail on that one but I'm pretty sure her name is uselesslines. :) I credited.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Probably not. She made icons for other people often, with credit.

Ugh, I do? Eh. At least you worked it out! That was her graphics community she posted stuff to. She's too busy to post these days, but if you want to ask her directly if it's okay, you can probably still PM her as vaguelyclear. She still occasionally comments on my entries so I'm sure she'd see it :)

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

I want to eat your icon!!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

It's pretty tasty looking, isn't it? I've got quite a lot of food-based (or beverage based) icons, but this one is undoubtedly the healthiest to eat. ;)

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

It's blowing my mind with the awesome!

California's been called that too..but um...no..Florida grow more Oranges than California...

Once upon a time before they started building houses wherever they could...Orange Groves were everywhere in Southern California...SO I suspect at that at that time...when people were confused on which state is actually the "sunshine state"

You'll be hard pressed to see Orange Groves anymore...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I know California also (still) grows a lot of oranges. I think their nickname is "The Golden State" though, probably for the '49 gold rush. =)

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*nods*..yeah but there was a time when people got the terms confused... :)

Not as many Orange groves anymore...although weather conditions is probably more stable/consistent than in Florida lately...

just that land's a lot cheaper in Florida...

[adoptedwriter.livejournal.com]

Yes. Florida. Queensland is all tropical and citrus fruit-a-licious like Florida in the USA? AW

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I think it might be. I know they're famous for an attraction called "The Big Pineapple."
