Voting - Week 26

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Season 8 roars toward a close...well, maybe not “roars”. More like “explodes” in all directions... at least that’s how it seems some days.

I see some people literally pulling themselves from bed rest to get to the computer, and I see others have Real Life tear them apart to the point that they can’t even get there.

On top of everything else this week has to offer, both sketchybrunette and xo_kizzy_xo have missed the deadline and have been eliminated! I don’t have to even guess what the reaction to this is going to be - I know they both have a lot of fans who are going to be upset to see them go. Me too! Hopefully, they can make it out to the Home Game... or, last time I checked, there was a “Back into the Game” token floating around out there that was only good until the Top 40... which is now coming this round!

This is certainly an interesting season. Fortunately, that just means the spotlight is even more powerful on the talent that remains! And I don’t think anyone would disagree that it’s a tremendous amount of talent!

We will be losing two of those talented people this week. So make sure to get out there and support your favorites! Read. Comment and VOTE to keep your favorite contestants in the running!

Note: If you run into any LJ hijinks let me know. But for the most part, the most useful tip I can give you is if you go back in to add/edit votes you need to recheck all of your selections again. It can be annoying. But it’s worth it!

The poll will close Thursday, May 10th at 9pm EDT Good luck to everyone!

oh noes, not our pie lady! D:

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I'm sad, too. I hope everything is OK.

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. Hope they're both okay. Sheeeeesh. What a week!

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Me, too.

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it was the earlier deadline? I shall certainly miss their entries!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I wondered about the earlier deadline confusing people...

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Crap Crap Crap CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew this was going to happen. We just got back from taking my poor Jack Dog out swimming at a pond not far from Current Employer...we've got friends in the area, so we stopped in to see them.

At least Jack is happily sore and very tired right now. That's the important thing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

sketchybrunette, AFAIK, is still recovering from her operation.

....now, who's got that Back In The Game token floating around?

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

I think the_day_setup? Maybe?

*hugs* And yes, Jack is what's important. It sounds like the swimming went well. That's good.

*hugs*, again.

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

:( Man, that sucks. I remember how disappointed I was last year when I didn't get my entry in. But in my case, I just completely spaced out the deadline. So sorry to see it end for you like this.

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

I'll rock-paper-scissors you for the token. ;)

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

It is the_day_setup who has the Back In the Game token/power, and he's about to get very popular...!!

Use your powers for good dude, that's all I can say! ;)

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooo!

Well, at least Jack had fun in the water.


Hugs hugs hugs.

[vaudy.livejournal.com]

A fun day for the poor pup > deadlines. *hugs*

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I understand why it happened. I still hope you will be able to get back in the game.

I've been thinking about Jack Dog. ::hugs::

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Whew! I'm glad that it wasn't something more serious! At least Jack got a good swim in. :)

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Nooooo... or, wait, a dog was happy! I am pretty certain that trumps everything.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Doh!

Well that's just one huge big bummer. But at least Jack had a good night.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Poor sketchy and Kizzy :(

I know both of them have a lot on their plate. Both are good people and I really hope that things are okay. They certainly will be missed.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'm here just banging my head against the wall :p

The vet upped Jack's pain meds. If they have to go any higher...well, you know.

:sigh:

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

I tried to get an entry together this afternoon, but I'm just not recovering from surgery as fast as I thought I would. It's been taking me about 20x as long to write, and I'm still in quite a bit of pain... plus I have a big cupcake order this weekend.

I'm glad to have played - LJI is one of the things that's pushed me with writing. I'm super pleased to report that I received a fellowship for a writers' conference this summer. (So I can kick your butts in season 9!)

<3

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Can I still love you dearly, even if you're not in the game? Is that allowed? :)

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Two of my favorites missing the deadline :(

LJI is just whipping the field this season, which kind of sucks. I know it's part of the game, but that's the toughest part most weeks.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I feel badly because it seems to be whipping the field more harsh this season. I just never expected to fall victim to it :(

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

Done reading. Done voting. Laying round with a dog on my tummy.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

How do you finish so quickly?!? Or do you start reading as soon as the entries go up on the Prompt post, long before the poll post is ready?

[the-day-setup.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone... before this thread gets too much longer... let it be known that I am putting my resurrection token up for grabs, semi-democratically. See this post for information and to vote (if you're currently in the LJI running) (http://the-day-setup.livejournal.com/9279.html).

Please, no more messages asking about the so-called token. Because of the quantity-- and identity-- of people who have asked me about it simultaneously, I'm now in an awkward place "politically" and I sure didn't ask for it. If you've got a horse in this race, go to my journal and vote.

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm really sorry this is stressing you out! I love the way you're deciding who gets to use it, for what it's worth.
