Green Room - Week 22 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/452911.html is the poll. You should go. You should read, and vote. Possibly have a picnic. Why? Because picnics are nice.

It doesn't always have to be complicated. Sometimes a picnic is a just a picnic.

You don't have to analyze what is going in the basket and fret over where you will be sitting to eat it.

Or what people could possibly mean when they make a comment about the basket.

It's possible to over think being happy. Try not to do that today.

I know many of you, and there is absolutely no threat of "over thinking". ;P

Still, do yourself a favor today and try anyway. :)

Oh my! Did I nab First?!?!?

Good Morning Idolers! And a Happy Friday Eve to ya!

Just sipping my coffee, checkin' the news, scritchin' the feline companion and fixin' to head off to work. In other words, the usual.

Hope everybody has a terrific Thursday. And if you could spare a little good mojo for my Kings tonight, I'd appreciate it!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Woot, first!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, honey! You made it to the GR early for a change! Yay for being first!

Sending good mojo your way, as always ;)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

If you find a BOGO sale on MOJO, lemme know. I could always use a little mojo myself! :)

It is far too yucky outside for a picnic today, sad to say...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

You can have a picnic inside - just spread a blanket out on the floor and eat sandwiches and potato salad off paper plates. Mmmm... =)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

But Gary, I've already read and voted. Now what am I supposed to do? :P

I suppose I could ask everyone here in the GR for links to their favourite music videos, too. Looking at making another one come September, so I want to watch more videos for inspiration. :D

But Gary, I've already read and voted. Now what am I supposed to do?

Mow my lawn?

But Gary, I've already read and voted. Now what am I supposed to do? :P

Vacuum my house thereby giving my sinuses a break?

I am happy! I have written well over 20 000 words in a week and a half, and... well, okay, I admit, it is a Dragon Age 2 fanfic (http://rattsu.deviantart.com/gallery/29765986), but it still counts damnit!!!

[serpentpixie.livejournal.com]

IT STILL COUNTS! :D

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Wow, them's a lot of words! I'm not sure if I've written 20,000 words in my whole 4 seasons worth of Idol, LOL.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

OMG, you're writing DA2 fanfic? I MUST READ THIS!

AND YOU KEPT HAWKE & ANDERS TOGETHER AND HAD THEM ESCAPE WITH ISABELA!!!!

Sorry for shouting, but mere words cannot contain my glee that someone as talented as you is writing exactly the premise of a long story I've been dying to read! \o/

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

Having a cup of decaf tea and working til noon. Then I've got lunch break and two classes. Woo.

I haven't read--but I have been watching some episodes of Babylon 5, getting a little schoolwork done, sleeping a lot, and catching up with a few friends.

Also lots of researching on teacher certification and masters programs.

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Also... NEW DR WHO COMING SOON!

I cannot be excited enough for this...

[momebie.livejournal.com]

MARK SHEPPARD. AND AMERICA. AND MATT SMITH WITH THE HIPSTER BEARD YOU KNOW HE JUST LONGS TO WEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS. I'M SO STOKED.

[the-vernacular.livejournal.com]

I have read a little over half the entries! I hope this is a week when I can finish everything and write comments and things! I haven't been able to do that a lot lately.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I totally don't over-think anything, but I did get a chuckle this morning while watching FOX News, as they were talking about "fracking" in regards to natural gas production, and of course my little Geek brain immediately zipped off to Battlestar Galactica, LOL.

Yes, the spelling is different, but the pronunciation is the same!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

The Battlestar reboot was frakking amazing, in my opinion. I totally loved it.

Hmmm....

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

Is it hell in a handbasket?

Don't put all your eggs in one basket?

The wastebasket is the writer's best friend?

Is the basket is half empty or half full?

WHERE IS THE CHOCOLATE?

Re: Hmmm....

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Such deep ponderings for so early in the morning, m'lady!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling happy. We caught up with a former housemate I haven't seen in 12 years. Some things change (we're both graduated and now have five children between us) some stay the same (M and I were together even then, boring old farts that we are).

On the way home on the freeway, the car behind us was rear-ended and we were lucky enough to avoid them hitting us. Phew!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

So I wrote up a rec list, located over here:

http://pixie117.livejournal.com/553061.html

I got on my computer for a change to post that really quickly. I loved most of the entries this week, and I only pointed out the teams that stuck out to me the most...but I am voting for more teams than just that, don't worry!

I better be off. I am running late this morning thanks to an evil kitty who tortures me all night and won't let me sleep. I've been exhausted all freaking week. Ugh.

Oh CT Scan results that I mentioned from yesterday? I have more stuff to look into. I read the little paper that came with it and it described a fullness in a part of the brain, MRI may be needed, though I think I remember them mentioning the cause for this the last time I had an MRI...so getting my records transferred and hoping to figure all this out (and hoping it's what I think it is or nothing at all opposed to the scary thoughts).

Now I better be off for sure!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

It would be good if you didn't have to have any more tests. Hopefully your brain is just naturally well-endowed in that area and it's all fine!

I hear you on the kitty. T had a fever last night and I had to keep kicking Banjo off her bed... he was getting happy with the extra heat (and the last thing you need when you're running a fever is a furry friend to make you even hotter!)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Screw picnics. I hate the outside. Especially on beautiful days like today that are slightly too warm. And the sun is always too bright. And the bugs aren't even out in full force yet, but they're still there and I don't trust them! And fruit. I really fucking hate fruit. I'm so looking forward to my stupid tv dinner I brought for lunch.


...am I blending in with the other office minions yet? At least I have off tomorrow.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Man...you sound like every office minion I've known and it makes me sad that life has to be done this way :(

[amenquohi.livejournal.com]

I hab a code, bud I amb reading.

*cough*cough*

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Aww feel better soon!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I work the overnight tomorrow night.

I also work on Easter Sunday.

I swear if I see another Easter-themed cake decoration my eyes are going to roll into the back of my head :p

No overthinking here

[beldar.livejournal.com]

I like picnics.

Posted my monthly "candle poll" in time for Easter.

Made some recs and begged for votes, as my and beeker121's total is still quite low.

All in all, a good day.

Re: No overthinking here

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

I prefer to eat indoors, fewer ants.

I haven't looked at our totals yet. Apparently that's a good thing.

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

My students are about to do a show tonight, so that makes me all kinds of happy!
