Green Room - Week 17 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning Idol, and welcome to "deadline day"!

It's your last chance to vote in the next to last poll for Second Chance Idol: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/538253.html
Your last chance to get your entries in for the main competition Week 17: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/538592.html

It's also your last chance at love, it's everything you'll dreaming of. . . (how's that for recent reference Jem? ;) )

It's Week 17 and there are more excitement in the air than a Bain Capital stockholders meeting!

More action than the tornado-ridden Mid-South. (Seriously though, has everyone in Idol from that region checked in recently?)

More topsy than your turvy!

How was your weekend?

***

Our hearts go out to former Idol contestant and long time supporter popfiend on his devastating loss. I hope that everyone's thoughts and prayers are with him and his.

Only 34 posts on the topic thread so far? Glad I'm not the only one who's running late on this one!

Grats on first! Again, I think?

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like we're all kind of slow today. The post had been up for entire minutes before I saw it there and commented.

If I actually manage to get my entry finished, it's going to be a miracle. My baby is sick and I'm overloaded with work and I have to drive out to deal with other crappy business on my lunch break and wahhh,

I have an idea I don't think is bad and I'm maybe halfway done. We'll see. I have no byes, so I'd better finish.

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Ok, now this is just damn spooky. Where is everyone???

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

I'm running super late, to the point where I may end up dropping out, which would suck. I have an idea and it's maybe halfway done but there is no time.

We made it through the storms fine but one of my friends from college lost her home and her car. The only one in her family injured though was one dog who had to have surgery on her leg. So it's good that the people are ok and no one (even pets) died but it's very sad how much she lost.

Two other friends have damaged roofs but overall, no one I knew was even injured so we made it.

After last April, it is odd to have so much bad weather again.

::hugs:: I hope you do. I'm sorry..you sound so stressed:(

I hopr your baby gets better and that somehow your work sorts out!

And LJ ate my comment. What a jerk. I had lots to say too. I won't repeat it all because I don't have time. I need to head out. Here's a brief summary:

I'm up extra early because I have to be in San Diego this morning. I slept horribly thanks to being sick to my stomach and weird dreams, not to mention an anxiety attack that lasted all night. A FB/LJ friend of mine posted some devastating news that really shook me up. So no sleep for me.

And topsy turvy?!! *gulp*

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

Eeek! I hope you make it! I'm working on mine now, but I'm at work and have to actually DO WORK at some point. I should get it done but it might be at the very last second.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I saw that there weren't many people in yet when I posted last night! I knew I had to post because today is so unpredictable and I couldn't guarantee any time after work today since I'm not in the office (I'll be on the road all day).

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

popfiend? That knocked me on my ass.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I hope you get your entry in. I'm so sorry you're stressed and whatnot.

I'd down here and so far, all my friends and loved ones - some of whom were in the direct projected path - made it out okay. One friend had the tornado turn down the corner and blasted through a block away from her house. eeeeek

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Me too. I still can't shake this gut wrenching feeling.

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just saw that. I'm still reeling.

[whirlgig.livejournal.com]

Anyone willing to beta for me? I've put my entry up but am hoping for a last minute look over before poll goes up :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I can't even imagine what he must be going through right now.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I'm glad no one was injured. Coming from the Midwest, I know what these storms are capable of. I worry about my family a lot during storm season. They seemed to have missed most of the storms. I hope it stays that way.

I'm sorry for your friend who lost her house though. It's so sad :(

[whirlgig.livejournal.com]

How terrifying! Glad to hear you're all okay so far.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you're all okay! I come from the Midwest, so I know how scary these storms are!

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

Congrats on First.
If I hadn't been so engrossed in reading entries, I might have been here sooner myself today. What a lot of good reading in SCI!

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Yay for everyone being okay - especially the friend who had the close call.

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, poor dog - hope she's doing okay.

I hope the friend who lost the home and the car had insurance. Years ago our first apartment flooded, and it and my husband's car was a total loss (we managed to drive my car up on a hill before walking over that hill to get out). We had flood insurance and it didn't take long to find a new apartment and get new stuff.

We did need to talk about it for a bit after it happened and told everyone the story, so she might want someone to listen to her.

That would suck! I'd hate to lose you; I like your writing a lot.
