therealljidolWelcome to another green room.
Man, what a week!
Not just personally, but also in this contest. Everyone hit pretty well - some better than others obviously - but I think there were a lot of them hit out of the park.

bettybaker established herself as a major player!!! That was a shocker to see her with more votes than the usual crowd.
I see a lot of people stepping up their game - and I see some that I worry might not be fighting as hard as they can, just waiting until the drop off the bottom. That's the way it always seems to go. But hopefully everyone will stick around as long as you truly can - and even if you do end up eliminated, that you keep hanging out in the Green Room!
Thanks to everyone who emailed me, or commented in various places to let me know you were thinking of me. I really appreciate it.
So - what's going on with you guys???

I told BB she wins at Internets
Date: 2007-03-26 07:11 pm (UTC)Occurs to me I can't use that tactic to help my own total, as the community forbids self-quoting. My posting late this last week seems to have dragged my tally down. Oh well.

Date: 2007-03-26 07:44 pm (UTC)Do I write like a guy? Should I start (please say no!) squeeing, or something similar? I'd dot my "i"s with hearts, but that doesn't transfer well into type.
I suppose, really, that if it's not obvious from my writing style, that's a good thing.
Or maybe it's just that you've never actually bothered to read anything I've written.:-P

Date: 2007-03-27 03:45 am (UTC)LOL! I made an entire batch of 4 dozen reese's peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies... by way of...
Ok no excuses, I had nothing better to do on my day off :)

Date: 2007-03-27 08:55 pm (UTC)They sound delicious.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 08:59 pm (UTC)They are, and folks were terribly impressed with them. Although all I did was wrap a miniature reeses peanut butter cup in regular old chocolate chip cookie dough and bake as normal.
2 dozen of em disappeared at the office before lunch time.

Date: 2007-03-26 10:45 pm (UTC)Sorry I sorta let it go til the last minute. I appreciate the support I received for what I really thought was a craptacular entry. This week will be better, I promise.

Date: 2007-03-27 03:53 am (UTC)This is not necessarily a bad thing, but this is not a new thing. I think my friends list might dry up and blow away if I don't knock off with the moony eyed stuff soon.
What web am I spinning?
Date: 2007-03-27 05:27 pm (UTC)But first, let me say that
Let's see... I have delivered a corset, directed a photo shoot, shopped for fabric (found 7 yards for $3.00 US), took my photographer to lunch, and had a consultation to dress up another corset I made a few months ago.
Tonight I see Evanescence, tomorrow my younger son starts college (while still going to high school), and I begin work on two more corsets.
I think I have finished my entry for the week, but I am taking a real chance with it, so I am working up the courage to post it where anyone can see it.

Date: 2007-03-28 01:20 am (UTC)What's Going On...
Date: 2007-03-28 04:16 pm (UTC)I'll admit I was actually surprised by the lack of votes I got based on the commenting and praise I received on my entry this week. I don't know... luckily... I don't care, as the post itself expressed.
This week I've a little lost on the writing. Only because it's such a proud subject and hard to pin down to one thing. My life has never existed in just one "greatest joy" or one "amazing, wow, moment" or one "wow, what a dumb mistake".
AND NOW THE IMPORTANT PART/QUESTION PERTAINING TO LJIDOL
I'm wondering what the rules on combining topics is... as it seems these two could be interchangeable, combined...
and I do have something I could write about that I've written about I think in my LJ but can never remember (since I don't use the tags or memories thing like I should... one day I should go to Day one of my journal and add tags and memories and edit and delete whatever entries don't work... one day.)
Re: What's Going On...
Date: 2007-03-28 05:10 pm (UTC)I like the idea. I want people to be creative and think outside the box with their entries, so finding an interesting way of combining the topics is completely and utterly "within the rules"

The Forced March of the Penguins?
Brutal, brutal stuff.

Date: 2007-03-29 11:03 pm (UTC)And this week was perhaps the most fun I've had writing for one of these topics. I had a real blast with it.
