Green Room - Week 31 - Day 2

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I was thinking this morning about how, given that it's a Final 3 and there are 4 contestants available, with two of them being guys, that we are guaranteed to have our second male contestant in the finals, and one of them at very least tying the best performance by a male during an Idol season ever!

Up until now - the winners have fit a pretty clear profile - white, female Americans. Most people know this. What might not be completely on your radar though is that there has also been a "kids pattern" - no, yes, no, yes, no, yes.

Which means regardless of what happens in the finals one of these "Idol Truths" is about to be broken.

A guy could win. A damn foreigner could win. Or, maybe someone with kids will break that pattern.

http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/479084.html is where the entries will go that will help determine what is going to happen next, and who those 3 contestants are going to be!!

Or, as I like to say, one of these four is one step away from having a really good excuse why they won't sign up next season! :P

It really is absolutely diverse and I love that Idol brings so many different and unique people together... I love that I've met people I wouldn't have otherwise.

Oh this one I can answer... pixie117 is the only person I've been with that has reacted/would react favorably to my "Idol Time".. all of the others would have thrown a Chernobyl-sized hissyfit. :-)

Says the guy from the Angriest Place on Earth...

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

But hey, that's why he's an ex. He was an ass :P

I'll bet you a billion dollars he *still* is an ass!!! :-p

I loved writing together honey. It was so much fun to play together this season. :-)

Heh, The Kidz just gave up on me. However, the minute I'd get up, they'd start herding me to the kitchen...or to the back door...or to the hook where their leashes hang...

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Wow. The Kidz seem to have something my feline lacks... patience! lol...

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the number of times I've been so worried that my entry was crap and my SO had to keep telling me it was fine until I finally decided to calm down and believe her and post it!

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

THIS is why I shut gmail when I am writing ;)

The way I look at it, it just shows how much we love this game and being social regardless of how we're doing in the game ;)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I'm not so sure. I think I'll have withdrawal symptoms and still not be able to sleep ;)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Indeed they do! I think you could make an argument for a third person having kids given his profession XD Although he's not looking after them any more...

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

:P

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

She breaks the newbie stereotype, though :P

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Well, a cat has won all seven seasons...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Third angriest, but we will be number one soon, or someone will pay!!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Ah, I missed you! But I'm up now and you'll be just finishing work, and I'd be quite happy to go back to bed now if you want to swap!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Having kids and managing a relationship (or the two together) mean that if you want to do something, you have to really want to do it, and you are more likely to make the time.

Yes, this. I'll admit I get a bit tense and freaked out about how much I need to do, but I'm a lot better at organising time than I was before children. And despite his apparent dismissiveness about Idol and its importance, whenever it came to the crunch and I was freaking out, M was understanding, supportive and patient.

Mind you, if I had to work AS WELL... I'd probably still be able to do it, but I'm not sure I'd be happy with the quality of my writing. I would likely be eliminated even earlier in the season.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

She's a vet. So any which way it goes, a stereotype will be broken.

I'm so happy you're going to get to see Transformers honey. I know how super excited you are and I'm sorry we didn't go last weekend (well we tried...lol). I can't wait for the weekend with you!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Oh I know he's still an ass. That's just who he is and he's rather proud of that. In fact, he tries to be an ass...

*hugs* and I loved writing with you. There's just something special about being able to write this season while sitting next to you :)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

And to me? That's just sad...though it does take up a lot of time, I guess...but I'm glad we can play together :)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Yep. I've so been there myself. Totally. I wanted to not post my sucky entry so many times and give up...only to have Java there helping me with feedback and encouraging words. I'm not sure I'd have stayed in as long without him...many weeks, he convinced me to not give up.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Not so fast! I did just get off work (well from bowling with my office), BUT it's not bed rime yet. I'd swap still if you wouldn't mind walking my giant dog in this heat wave we have going on here? It's HOT! I could then be free to umm take a nap in the air conditioning?

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Heh heh :) Or you could just come on over, and your dog could play with our dog* and since it's winter here, no air-conditioning needed! :P

*probably not a good idea - Cooper bites :/

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Ahhh winter. I could trade you for some winter, that's for sure... Then again, I can only say that now in Cali since winter here is like spring everywhere else. I'd be fine with AC that wasn't just in the living room :P

Annabelle loves to play with other dogs! She's usually pretty good with most :)
