Green Room - Week 29 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The question isn't "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" - oh no, that's too simple. The real question at the heart of the matter is "What would a Klondike bar do for you?"

Would it sacrifice its very existence, its fragile ice cream filled life for your petty satisfaction and whim? Would it give it all up, just to give you that one moment of satisfaction - before you went on with your life and consumed more of its friends???

Would it?

Would YOU do that for anyone or anything? Throw yourself into the mouth of the lion knowing that no one was even going to give a second thought to you or anything you had done a moment or so after looking and saying "Oh"...

Consider what a Klondike bar would do for you. . . and re-examine what you would do for it. . .

or eat it. They are pretty tasty.

The new topic is up: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/473102.html and we said goodbye to some old friends yesterday, so you might want to pop in for a bit if you haven't yet: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/473001.html

Forget about that, I have two pints of ben and jerry's in the freezer. Yummles.

Today is turning out productive, already got the bed stripped and the second load of laundry in.

Wow, first?

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

What kind of Ben and Jerry's? I'll never forgive them for not bringing back Pumpkin Cheesecake this past thanksgiving :(

Though I love me some mint chocolate cookie and chunky monkey too.

Man, I miss Klondike bars.

One more to the list of things I'm 'onna eat when I head back Stateside.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I can't mail those to you, sadly.

I feel like this is veiled meta directed at me and the disappointment I felt yesterday, and again this morning. But, you know, I'm self-centred like that. Though, yeah, Gary would be aware of what's bothering me.

Which is going to be partly why I'm not chatty today. The other reasons would be because a) I'm working on a home game entry about my pirates and b) tomorrow's father's day and I promised my husband I'd stay off the Internet the entire day :O

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I would be.

But it wasn't.

To be honest, it never even *slightly* occurred to me when I was writing this.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I tend to think meta is about me too all the time. But I'm just paranoid like that :P

You're not self centered, you're just sad. It happens to all of us when we feel down about something. There's nothing wrong with you for feeling this way.

I learned most people really don't think about your motives and whatnot as much as you might think. But *hugs* anyway.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Sadly I'm not that much into Klondike bars. I think the only thing that'd motivate me is large sums of money, which does say something about myself.... Or well, if a friend was in danger, there's no doubt I'd do pretty much anything. So that redeems me a little, yes? ♥

Tonight I get to go to a BACHELORETTE PARTTAAYYY!!!!

And she wants me to bring my super fancy camera so woot woot for more people picture practicing! ^^ Then tomorrow is daddy's day. Make sure to call your daddy if you have one. There might be a bbq at the house, but definitely not looking forward to it..heh.. considering what I'm going to be doing tonight. XD

Aaaanywhoozle. What's everyone else's weekend look like??? :D
~Sammy-Joe

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I'm with you. I'd do anything to save a friend in danger...even if that person wouldn't do the same for me. I'd do it knowing that. What does that say about me now?

Bachelorette party!!! I really wish I had umm friends to do stuff like that with. I've only been to my own...though I did have two (my grad program needed an excuse to drink, and a couple friends and I got together back home months before). So have fun!!!

My weekend? Going to try to go into work for a bit here. Then laziness and snuggles with the boy. And video games. And creepy documentaries and/or horror movies. It's gonna be great :)

Rock City on Lookout mountain - the view was awesome once the rain stopped! Tomorrow we are taking a 3.5 hour scenic train ride, then supper and a 4 hour drive home!

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

This question lacks sufficient information to answer. It is the original Klondike, the Heath, Strawberry, Maple, Crunch, Neapolitan, Cappucino, Rocky Road, Whitehouse cherry, or the Slim-a-bear? Because the self-sacrificing qualities of a Klondike are dependent on that variable!

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

OMFG. I've never had a Klondike bar before. I feel like I am missing out on SO MUCH.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

How about "what would you do for your favorite Klondike bar?"

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Heh. While I know it isn't meta considering I don't think anyone really knows what goes through my head, but it almost describes how I feel about almost everything.

I think people tend to think my niceness is strategy or even "fake". This is coming up because of stuff last season, not this season. But you know? That bothers me. I know people that know me, should know otherwise. I simply can't be mean to anyone (but myself) even if I try. I really tend to like everyone even if people give me reason not to. I have too much empathy for my own good.

Not sure why I decided to say that other than making sure that people know that when I show them kindness, I mean it. I am an Aspie, I can't be anyone but myself. I'm not good at faking emotions.and thoughts that aren't there.

I also realized I needed to thank lots more people in my goodbye post. java_fiend was coming over and I got distracted :P

But thank you Gary for creating this awesome group where I've met some of my favorite people ever. I think the world of you and just adore this community. I can't ever say thank you enough <3

And nyxocity for agreeing to partner with me for an unnoficisl intersection. I knew I was done for this week and wanted to go out doing what I love: intersections. She's a delightful person and I'm so glad to call her a friend.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

I think the more time goes on, the more people can tell if you're faking. I don't see how there's any way anyone who's known you all season could think you were faking being nice.

And intersecting with you was my pleasure! :) I love intersecting, too. So happy we got to do one together! ♥

[liret.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, Klondike Bars.

I don't have any. I did have coke for breakfast, though, which is how I know I've gone past all normal measures of tired.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I often have Diet Dr. Pepper for breakfast. It's all good.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Gary knows exactly what I would do for a Klondike bar :-P

Also, I feel this video is pertinent to this question. Just replace "you" with "A Klondike Bar."

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I also find this to be an acceptable answer to the question:

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

I love this song. I run to the extended nine minute version and suddenly it feels like less work.

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

I am awake and am supposed to be pulling out the Wii fit to be all exercisy this morning before going to work. But my boyfriend is still in bed and warm and cuddle-some. So I'm sitting at my computer between those two points trying to decide which way to go.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Life is too short...snuggle with the boyfriend. That's what I'd be doing right now if I could. I find nothing in the world to be more enjoyable than that :)

I say that knowing full well I'm procrastinating going into work for a bit...and I don't have a boyfriend to snuggle right now. It's just me totally wasting my morning away.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

A Klondike bar would totally sacrifice itself for me, as I am cute and fluffy and taste good dipped in chocolate... Or caramel. Whatever. ;)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I prefer to be dipped in peanut butter...then again, peanut butter is my drug of choice for anything :)

[serpentpixie.livejournal.com]

Putting this here because it's the first chance I've had to get online today (out with my cadets, again!) and I wanted to make sure you all saw it - I don't feel the need to make a full farewell post but I wanted to say this:

I just wanted to say thank you - to every single person here. I signed up to LJ Idol on a whim with a sort-of aim: to make the top 100. Honestly, at the beginning, so many people said to me "you can't" that I didn't think I would make it even that far. But I did, and it's been incredible. The support I've received from everyone has blown me away completely. You are all incredible people, and everyone here is a talented and unique writer - whether or not they remain in the competition.
Thank you. I am honoured that I was counted in your number for so long, and I'm sure I'll see you all around here for the next few weeks.
I should also say, I'd love to be friends with all of you, so if you've not friended me and you want to, then all you have to do is tell me so and I'll add you in return.
<3

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Who told you that you couldn't?!? I'll kill them for you! After all, I need to peocrastine work some more...and I have nothing left to clean...

*hugs* I'd love to friend you if you'll have me. I love our little chats in the GR. You're am awesome person. And I'm not surprised you made it this far at all. Sheesh. People who say otherwise suck.

[snarkerdoodle.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever actually had a Klondike bar. I'm not sure why, now that I think about it. Now I'll have to pick one up next time I see them, lol.

I actually have an idea for a home game entry for this week, strangely enough -- now to see if I can find the time to write it up. ;)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Yes! I would love to see a home game entry from you. :D

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

We don't have Klondike bars in Australia. You're making me jealous, Gary. Though, I *am* glad that I went to bed last night before seeing this post otherwise I would have gone to bed with Klondike cravings, and probably would have dreamt of Klondike bars XD

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm starting to think I need to pick one up next time I'm in America... it's only about four months away ;)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

:crawls into the corner of the GR with her pillow and blanket:

:makes herself comfy:

:falls asleep dreaming of Klondike bars:

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

Klondike Bars are awesome, but be careful that if your order a Dove Ice Cream Bar that you get this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dove_Bar) and not this one (http://ruspics.co.cc/data_images/dove-soap-119.jpg).
