Green Room - Week 11 - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

We're dog sitting this weekend. I forgot what it was like to have a dog, or more to a point, a Jack Russell puppy. You know, someone who is full of energy and just wants to run around all the time, and get into things that you have no idea how they got into?

Someone that you have to keep a constant eye on, because you have no idea what they are going to try to pull next?

But that can also be incredibly sweet when you least expect it?

I'm pretty sure this puppy has the qualifications to be an Idol contestant!! ;)

***

For those Jack Russell puppies out there who are actually contestants, the Work Room is http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/519437.html and the Topic is http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/519270.html - it's a little over 24 hours left to go, and there are still a lot of names missing from the list. So, I hope people can pull it off yet another week with a stunning come from behind last minute push!

Yeah, untold wealth and promise await me!

[noodledays.livejournal.com]

I somehow sense a little disparagement of the power of the first. ;o

[noodledays.livejournal.com]

awww man, congrats! that's a great photo. :D

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

If I could, I definitely would!!

A "behind last minute push" sounds all kinds of dirty.

[pen-name.livejournal.com]

i like how you think.

Someone that you have to keep a constant eye on, because you have no idea what they are going to try to pull next?

no, don't know anyone like that.

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Only so you could kick them :p

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Something borrowed, something blue, someone to kick you... it's wedding tradition!!

quick question here (since I'm not sure how soon it might be seen in the Green Room):
how does everyone feel about internet acronyms being used in idol entries?

the specific one in question is iirc, for "if I recall/remember correctly".
are they okay to use, or do you prefer things be rewritten so they're avoided or not needed?

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

What a great photo!

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

I think it depends on the context. If you're, say, describing a chat or an email or web related stuff, I wouldn't mind seeing them. If it was a more traditional piece, I think I'd rather see it spelled out. But, unless it was excessive (like the entry started to look like txt speak), it wouldn't cause me to not vote for it.

[noodledays.livejournal.com]

thanks, I greatly appreciate the input.

I scrapped the draft I've been working on for my entry, and started a new one very very late last night.

I've had a really difficult couple of weeks with a whole bunch of different things relating to health and family, but I am trying to hang in and keep writing.

Might be in Baltimore later this week - anything must-see (or must eat/drink) there that y'all recommend?

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

Sure! :)

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Gary, that would be so fucking cool! Just surprise us in Vegas. :)

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Thanks... good old arm's-length portraiture enhanced by a beautiful woman. :)

so I just wrote a totally different entry that rambles on about how I hated my previous entry and I think I'm going to use it.

Joy.

Jack Russell puppues are FULL. ON. I am sooo glad for my chilled German Shepherd puppy. Who could eat your Jack Russell for breakfast. But wouldn't because he's a total wuss who hasn't worked out yet that he's supposed to be well 'ard and can take anyone and anything and instead prefers to be afraid of it all. And tomorrow he gets his second set of jabs, which is going to be fun because he's still really sore round where they did the first lot. Yay.

I have written nothing yet. I was out most of yesterday and as a consequence my youngest child has been very clingy and not allowed me to do anything productive involving keyboards. A bye this week is increasingly likely.

Seconding this. :)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

You are!

Nope, nope...don't know anybody who fits that particular criteria...nope...
