Green Room - Week 29 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I take a couple days off from LJ and suddenly there is a ranking system!
What does it mean? I don’t know. Is 360 place in community rankings good or bad? I have no idea.
237 Social capital? Do we want more or less? I’m not sure.

How do you “improve”? Beat me. But I want to. So, figure out how to get us higher, or lower – whichever is better, on those charts!!
That is your mission!

Why? Because now it’s out there and we need to win! :P

I’m not even sure what “winning” entails, just that social ranking implies that we need to do it!!! ;)

***
The new topics went up last night http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/571850.html

Causing a Work Room to generate: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/572119.html

And a Home Game thread. (well, I haven’t posted it yet, but I will in a couple of minutes). You didn’t get to 10 last time, but it was close enough for me to give it another try… especially with 4 different topics to choose from, I have every faith that the thread will be used this week.)

So, between that and figuring out how to improve Idol’s social standing, I guess you have your hands full today!! :D

Happy dance for your First!

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

Yay, you're FIRST!! ^_^

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Goodnight! And yay first!

I loved 10-years-ago LJ! I know it's never going to be like that again, but I'd settle for how it was 5 years ago too. :)

There's an FAQ for the social capital thing: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=359

[unmowngrass.livejournal.com]

So... the more social capital it has, the less likely it is to be a spambot?

Chocolate, coffee, bacon and popcorn : those will improve just about anything, in my boook.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I want popcorn drizzled in chocolate and bacon crumbles, with a side of coffee! :)

I wrote a pseudo-Idol entry this weekend because I missed Idol THAT much. I would post it in the Home Game thread, but it's not actually on this week's topic, so I'm not sure it's qualified to be there. My weekend piece is part of my ongoing Gemma serial. I'll link it here if anybody wants to read. :)

Here is my story. (http://alien-infinity.livejournal.com/226879.html)

Also, I so didn't get enough sleep last night. To the coffee!

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

Argh. Having trouble finding my inspiration. Any ideas?

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Maybe a good bloodhound can help you find it? Or you could take out an ad in FriendFinder... :)

I missed this ranking system... What the heck?

I just woke up and have to get Annabelle off to the vet, she's limping again and I'm a worried pet mama.

My boss seems irritated with me though he shouldn't because it's his own fault we couldn't get together last week about transitioning my job, he was a slacker. And now he's on vacation. Only 4 more days there!

Weekend was great, lots of rest was had. Java and I totally were lazy beasts all weekend. It was nice.

Well I better be off here. I doubt I'll have much time to get on since I'm trying to get stuff done at work before I leave on Friday to never return. I'm trying to be responsible like that.

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you had a good weekend, and I really hope Annabelle improves soon.

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Grr argh I hate rankings. They mess me up. Like Idol polls. ;)

I did get a post written last night, but it wasn't an Idol one. Going to spend today driving around listening to music and thinking about the Idol one. Once I get my schedule and can start driving around. *please no appointments or alarms, although between the two I'll take appointments*

I probably will go fiction, and with the topic "disappear". And with a character named Lovesy. I don't even know, at this point - if you want to see my nonfiction and get to know me and stuff, just friend me. Because I'll probably be doing fiction from now on for Idol, because my last nonfiction entry now makes me feel really uncomfortable when I read it and I feel like it's all weak, and yeah.

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

I actually started writing a nonfiction entry for this week, on "gobsmacked," but it was not working. It was kind of weak and not funny like I wanted it to be. I definitely think I'm going for fiction and using "disappear" as well. So, you'll be in good company if that's the direction you end up taking. :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I think any ranking system can be improved by the application of soap and hot water! Unless they would shrink in hot water, in which case cold will suffice.

I had a lovely weekend, got to hang out with old friends as well as make a few new ones. Did some screenprinting, some reading, some cooking (WAY too much chili, but leftovers are good), and went to see MIB 3. W00t!

I assume you have to find a goat and staple a paper that says "Frank" to it and commit animal sacrifice. You get a point for each goat?

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Only if it eats one of LJ's wires first!

[unmowngrass.livejournal.com]

Just to say, I haven't been deliberately *not using* the home game thread. I think about it every week. But just, ALL OF THE IDEAS have been kicked out of my brain! It is a cavern in there. All empty, with the wind whistling by and - what was that?! Was that a shadow?! Did something move?? Noo, just ~my~ shadow... (I think).

One of these times, I think/hope something will make it out of there alive, one day.

I want to home game but I wont have reasonable vision in time. My script is expired and couldn't get in before Friday - then they always have to order the lenses.
Can not use my computer when I can not see what's on the screan. At lest I can put my kindle in my vision field.
It is going to make shopping Friday interesting.

BETA MAI ENTRY PLZ

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

Topic: All of them

When found that her booty was lackin'
A young pirate wench was sent packin'
She set aside time
And she called to the brine
In a startled voice, "Summon the Kraken!"

...Okay, back to work now. >_>

Re: BETA MAI ENTRY PLZ

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Mmm, seems kind of short. Are you going to write a second verse?

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaat? There's eleven of us, Gary! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/569864.html

Do I not count because I was late? But there was no deadline?

GAAAARRRYYYY HAAAATEESSS MEEEEE!!!! ...Robina says I should demand satisfaction. How do katanas at dawn sound? Everywordiwrite will be my second!

(Also did your internet people fix things properly this time? I hope you have internets now! *hugs*)

/filling in "Gary hates me" on Idol bingo...

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

"Gary hates me" should be pre-filled. It's the free square.

I just found out this week is another 6-day work week for me. My vacationing coworker injured herself surfing. They think she's going to be OK, but right now it's touch and go.

And there's nothing like the heady feeling being asked what items I'd like to bake (there were a couple of corporate types scouring the department this morning) :)

I'm really going to deserve MY vacation next week!

:THUD:

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Oh wow, more overtime? I hope your co-worker gets better soon!

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

Hello lovely Green Room. I'll be working on a home game entry soon, or maybe more than one, but right now I'm all doped-up from having wisdom teeth carved out of the back of my mouth. Which is better than being in massive pain from same, I'll grant. :)

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

because I have had convos with a few people about it.. I got the job I wanted! starts in September *fist pump*

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!! ^_^

If anyone's still around, I have a Character Making Meme up on my journal. :)
