Wrap Party/Friending Frenzy

The dust is settled and the results are in, and people are being “encouraged” to leave the Green Room by the gas that is seeping in through the grates.

As the final one is carried out on a stretcher, desperately hanging on to the piece of chair they broke off in their last stand, even as it tumbles from their raptly going limp hands - the doors to the Green Room are slammed shut, locking from the inside. So that no one can open them, until the resortation is complete and we meet again next season!

For now, it’s off to the Banquet Hall, and from there - maybe, just maybe, there will be a door back to “your real lives”. I know you don’t remember them, and some of you will prefer to stay here, where it’s safe. But I’m sure there are folks who probably miss you out there.

I can’t imagine why! ;)

Welcome to the Banquet Hall! There is a buffet and an open bar. There is also a good old fashioned “Friending Frenzy”.

So, if you have been waiting to friend someone, or just want to put yourself out there... or tell a friend or 15 to stop on by, it’s a great way to cap off a great season, and a way for newbies to stick their head out and get to know people!

So step up and say “Hello!” and tell your friends to come on in and do the same!

You may be right.

Wanna be friends?

I thought you'd never ask!

Cookie? :)

*SIGH*

How many times do I have to explain this?

(1) I don't make or give away the cookies. I just make you eligible to receive them.

(2) The way I make you eligible is by declaring that you're dead to me.

So... do you WANT to be dead to me? I'm only asking you 'cause you're a friend...

Actually, the question was more of an offer of "Would you like a cookie" rather than "can I have a cookie?" :)

I know you don't make the cookies, and now that we're officially friends I don't want to be dead to you!

You offered me a cookie.

...

You offered me a cookie of your own free will.

...

I can't remember the last time someone did that for me.

...

I'm overwhelmed with emotion.

...

I have no other words... except...

...

...

... No, thank you, my doctor wants me to lose weight.

my doctor is a meanie.

We must have the same doctor, LOL.

I'm not supposed to have cookies either.

...

That's why I've got a cake in the fridge.

...

and Hunger Games cupcakes on the counter...
May the Odds be Ever in Your Flavor.

So there.

... what sort of odd-flavored cupcakes do you have? (and do i *really* want to know the answer to that question?)

Re: ...

[identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL - well, I don't know if you've read any of The Hunger Games books or saw the movie, but one of the tag lines for the Hunger Games is "may the odds be ever in your favor!"

So I was sort of playing on that. The cupcakes are regular flavors - a mix of yellow cake and chocolate, topped with either yellow, red, or chocolate frosting, and a plastic ring with the mockingjay bird on it. No special flavors, just pretty colors, really. =)

... what is this Earth-thing you call The Hunger Games?

OK, I'm not *THAT* dense. Though I haven't actually read any of the books or seen the movie, I have heard enough about the series to recognize the phrase. But you must admit that your phrase implies that there might be some unusual flavor combinations involved in your cooking.

PS: Love the ladybug cupcake icon. Did you bake that yourself, or did you just *YOINK* the icon from someone else?

Re: ...

I didn't bake the cupcake, I found the photo on the net somewhere and made an icon out of it.

The books are actually quite good; I read the first one before seeing the movie, then read the other two. I'm looking forward to the next movie, even though it won't be out until next year some time.

I've heard good things about the books and the movie...

[identity profile] ellakite.livejournal.com 2012-09-02 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
... but these days, dystopian fiction is about the *LAST* thing I should read. I'm prone to depression, and frequently see the "real world" as dystopian.

Even though I'm not prone to depression, I fully understand your viewpoint. *hugs*
