Green Room - Week 23 - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It’s Friday the 13th! Time to get out your hockey masks and go wild!
A co-worker said that she heard on the radio that today was also “International Slackers Day”. But I wasn’t able to find any information confirming that. Perhaps they never got around to making the information public.

It’s always “International Slackers Day” here in Idol though! The slackers haven’t been reading the entries and sending me their votes: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/555302.html

They haven’t been writing their new entries: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/555757.html

They haven’t even been taking a shower. Which, again, that’s nothing new! Have you seen this bunch? Or, more to the point, have you smelled what’s coming from their general direction? It’s quite horrifying! Maybe Jason should have used that as a weapon!

No way.

Frist. Crazy. I'm the busiest person ever and I've done this like three times this season. Do I win the award for most useless skill?

HEY I'M GETTING MARRIED IN A WEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!

Yay.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Yes way. You're first!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE FRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wedding!!!! I'm sitting here bouncing with joy for you!
:bounce:

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

FRIST!!! And you're getting MARRIED!!! YAY!!!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I think the by-laws of Idol strictly prohibit you from claiming Frist if you are also in the process of getting married. I'm sorry but you will have to vacate your Frist title for the day.

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

Hoot! Frist, First, And getting hitched. Not bad for Friday the 13th! Oh married in a week. Happy that! I'm glad you have found time for it. :)

I am having an I am not going to get very much work done today kind of day, so, not surprising that it's a slacker day - Yay, now I have an excuse!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

That sounds like every day for me this week.

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

Who wants to beta for me this weekend?!!

I think I'm doing nonfiction again for the first time in, like, 10 weeks or something? Kinda scared about this since my fiction seems to do way better than my nonfiction, but it feels right this time.

Still stressing about work, so going to disappear back into the code now.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'll beta for you -- my work schedule isn't quite as crazy this weekend as it was last weekend. PM me when you're ready and I'll PM you my email addy ;)

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I think this week has been International Slackers Week... And I'm going to pay for not spending every waking moment working because I've got so much to do today to catch up. So I shouldn't be slacking today!

My Internet at home is being a jerk. I believe it's my laptop because other computers have had no issues. I have a Mac and need to reset Airport or something I think. I can get Internet if I sit at my roommate's bedroom door, but that's it. I think she might find that a bit creepy... I've read the entries from my phone, but due to work being busy and from no Internet at home, I haven't been able to comment :/

But my votes are in, so I'm not slacking there!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I dunno... I think if you sit in her doorway, she might enjoy the company! :-p

Sorry that your internet is being a jerk though. That's really dumb. :-(

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention shower drains. Ours has been running quite slow for awhile now, no matter how many times I dump baking soda and vinegar down it. I just did it again maybe a half hour ago and there's still water just sitting there :p

After today I'm working straight through until late next week. At least my schedule is fairly regular this time around, though! In other words...oh, wow, maybe I can actually concentrate more on Idol matters :boggle:

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

My bathroom drain was clogged until last week. I had the maintenance people fix it. One benefit of renting, that's for sure....

[ellakite.livejournal.com]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch... huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh....

*snort* what?!

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

Hello, Green Room!

I'm working on my story, which is yet another one that has a mind of its own and insists on being written, despite the fact that it's a totally new genre for me. I had a story planned out that was more in my usual vein, but, unless any beta-readers utterly hate the finished draft, the new genre story will be posted.

I guess working on my story means I'm not a slacker, even if I do have to beat up my brain to get it to produce more words and invent a plot?

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I will read through what you sent me in a bit, but from what I read yesterday, I'm really liking this idea of yours and think people will like it too! It's fun to stretch and try new genres :)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Good morning from cold and rainy So Cal! Woooooo Hoooooo! Love this kind of weather. Now if only I could be celebrating International Slackers Day at home, listening to the wonderful rain pouring down outside... that would be bliss. *le sigh*

It is now 9:12 am PST and I haven't felt the need to murder anybody yet today. So that has to count for something, right?

Also, my black cat crossed my path many times this morning and no doom has befallen me yet. *fingers crossed* Though... ickily enough, he did get sick all over my bed last night... while I slept. I thought rolling around in something wet and sticky was just a dream but when I woke up... errrrr... nope. But hey, a hot shower, bedding in the washer and I'm right as rain again. If that's the worst that happens to me today, it's all good. I just worry about my poor old guy.

Hope everybody is having a fantastic Friday the 13th!!!!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

It's not rainy here in Newporr Beach, just gloomy and chilly (and downright freezing with the A/C on in the office).

Aww poor SoCo... And poor you! Maybe he was just trying to do something special for Friday the 13th since he is a black cat and all?

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Deadlines Deadlines Deadlines! Cold war zombies doesn't write themselves...

Insanely busy. But slacking with LJI. Haven't read anything yet -eeeeep- or written. Though I woke up with a cool idea, so once I start it will hopefully go well.

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Okay, screw it, I'm going to post this because I want today to be all about my upcoming wedding. haha.

Plus, no one ever believes that I snagged someone this hot! It's PROOF. Photography is a SCIENCE.

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that came out way bigger than I meant it to.

Sorry. :)

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I can't be a slacker today, because I've got the following to write:

* 3 2 poems (to get caught up on NaPoWriMo)
* my recap of results night on "American Idol"
* an article about Joss Whedon's TV vs. movies
* at least 2 web site description rewrites for a new employer

Eek! I hope KFP cooperates, or I'm sunk. So far, I'm trying to take "mommy/baby time" breaks in between tasks, and he seems content.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Is that all you have to do? Pfffftttt... and you say you can't be a slacker today. :-p

[karmasoup.livejournal.com]

K... I've officially had my Friday the 13th Experience for the day... spilled coffee all over my keyboard. Had to clean it up, popped off some keys to get between them, did a bit of air compressing... now I can't seem to figure out where I put my F7.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Heck as long as you still have your F5 key, you're good!

I once splooshed Ranch dressing onto a keyboard...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hey it's not me, I showered yesterday!

We saw "American Reunion" last night - it was good, very funny, but definitely R rated, with several full-frontal nude scenes, both male and female, so don't take the young ones. They got all the original actors back, which was cool. Not much "gross" humor, thankfully. Definitely for the adults!

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

I want to see that movie. They've all cracked me up so far.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

*shakes fist at LJ* Thanks for eating my long comment, %$$%#^&&!@.

*gives up and crawls under desk to take a nap*

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

It munched on my Idol entry! :( :(

[sarcasmoqueen.livejournal.com]

Hello GR and happy Friday the 13th! It's a beautiful day here weatherwise, and it's looking like it will be beautiful all weekend! I am taking full advantage of International Slackers' Day by not doing a lick of work today...at least not of office work. I wrote about half of an entry yesterday and then decided I hated it and scrapped it this morning. I'm now in the process of writing a new, fictional entry, which I think I'll like much better. I plan to finish it by the end of the work day because I will have no time over the weekend.
I also went to my first book club meeting ever today at lunch. We discussed Sarah's Key.
Have a great one, everybody!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Yay, book club! I so want to do one of those. The last time I tried to find one was about 10 years ago and apparently 26 year olds don't go to bookclubs.

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

End-of-grading-period day for me, which involves chasing 9th graders all over creation, trying to get them to give me papers that were due a month ago, racing against time, fate, etc to get everything uploaded, printed, beamed to the proper authorities on mars, and a bunch of other random shit before the end of the day. But.. I DID IT. And now I am free! *merrily frolics off, probably toward the nearest bar*

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

My home has been invaded by a force of one additional little girl. My youngest is having her first sleep over. She invited three freands. Only one was able to come.
Yay such fun.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

SLEEPOVER!!! How exciting :D S went for his first on-his-own playdate a couple of months ago. I could get used to this whole swapping children thing.

[kickthehobbit.livejournal.com]

...is it slacking if it's that I have literally been up to my eyeballs in classes/lesson planning? :(

I haven't slacked off on taking a shower or anything, I just haven't had TIME to get online.
