Green Room - Week 24 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The Top 50 of Season 8 are here, now we just have to navigate through the wreckage to find the track to the Top 40!

If you told me that this group of degenerates talented people would be the Top 50 – well, I don’t know what I would have done. Because it was a really talented field this season from the get-go. So, pretty much every possible scenario was, and still is, possible. Which is exciting! Or scary. Or a little bit of both.

Especially when you factor in just how brutal “Real Life” has been this time around!

Granted, what most people have been chalking up to “Real Life” has just been my increased involvement with setting traps around contestant’s houses in order to better destroy them!! You thought that thing wasn’t in the same place where you’d left it – but fortunately I was able to pump in the memory fogging gas before you could figure too much out.

*pipes more gas into your room*

Get out there and read some entries http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/560771.html and support your favorites!

Ugh... I woke up this morning with either allergies or a cold. So not amused. I work from home and barely go out, and none of my family is sick, so WTF?!

I'm hoping it's allergies just so I don't risk getting my son sick. Sick babies are teh sad.

Really excited to be in the top 50! I came so close to dropping out this week that it wasn't even funny. "Real life" is always an issue for me, but this time around I just couldn't get my piece to come together at all. Ughhh, so frustrating.

I still stand by what I say that anyone left seriously could win this thing and not surprise me. There's so much talent this season. Then again, I'm sure I say that every season because it's proven to be true.

I'm really excited to see how the rest of the season plays out and who makes it to what. Top 40? The top 20? Who wil it be?!? Only time will tell.

I may actually finish reading this week! And I want to start doing rec lists again because the entries are that dang good. We will see what happens.

I'm feeling much better today, I almost feel normal (isn't that scary?), but my job is killing me. It's went above and beyond ridiculous. I'm so done with this place. I'm hoping that the interview tomorrow leads to a promising way out so I can (politely) tell my supervisors to F' off for being asshats.

Man, I ALMOST logged in quick enough to get my fourth first, but then I realized that everyone would know that I have no life. haha

Hey, thanks for all the great wedding wishes. It's been fun talking to everyone about the ceremony and the Vegas trip... and I got to do an entry that really was right in my wheelhouse!

Yo, Gary! Two questions for ya!

(1) You used the phrase "Top 40" in your post like it was an official milestone in Idol. Was a Top 40 Icon created for last season?

(2) This "memory fogging gas".of yours... is it capable of suppressing the memories of an unhappy childhood? If so, I'd be interested in purchasing a few metric tons...

Should have known. First you make the cat vomit, and then you wake up my children at 4.30am, and they threaten to vomit! At least I didn't step in any...

Forgot to say in my choked-up response to you all on the Vote page: if anyone wants to add me, feel free. I am generally a ready friender, unless your journal is only LJ Idol, in which case, I probably won't add you back as I like to keep my flist personal, yo :)

Love to you all. (Except Gary, obviously. Kicks to him).

That memory fogging gas of yours sure is potent, Gary! I always knew you had it in you, LOL.

Hmmm... I wonder if this gas is flammable?

*gets out lighter*

It would not surprise me if Gary were planting booby traps for all of us. Of course, I create enough problems on my own that it would be impossible to tell if my downfalls were my own or Gary created.

It's a busy day for me here- so much to get done and then continuing ed tonight followed by a late appointment with a friend/client to sign contracts.

Oh it's you pumping gas into the room, is it? I had thought the boyfriend had just been at the wasabi peas again.

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

I thought my fuzzy-feeling brain was due to inadequate sleep and inadequate caffeine, but I think now that it's from Gary and his gas! :P

Ha. Foolish mortal, you know not where I live! Your puny machinations shall not catch me unawares!

cheers,
Phil

It's a public holiday today! Anzac day. I think I am bad because I forgot.

Mind you, I went to the dawn service last year, and it finished before dawn...

[jacq22.livejournal.com]

Cough, cough, that darned gas.....

Gary was super sneaky with the trap on me. He trapped my house, so I moved house, and was then so overwhelmed by MOVING HOUSE that I had to bail.

I'm watching you, Gary.

*Eyes*

I feel kind of bad. I haven't been keeping up with Idol for awhile now. I had jury duty which completely ate up all of my time. Then I got involved with my photo scavenger hunt thing. Finally, got a new camera so I've been playing with that for the past couple of weeks.

So I trust everyone is good and well! I just wanted to say hi!
