Green Room - Week 2 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Tonight has been moving along faster than it takes for Lois Lerner to take the 5th, and here we are, already into the "morning after" the polls have closed.

The results are here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/654816.html
The new topic for the main competition is located: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/654975.html
and Second Chance Idol has even gotten into the fun: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/655296.html

So really, it's a little something for everyone!

Did you pick your topic out immediately, or are you still allowing the choices to swim in your brain for long enough for a coherent thought to form around one of them?

First! And damn those are weird topics this week, LOL.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Nooooo we have fine fine topics! ;D

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Na wa ooooooo is all I have to say about this! :D

[kf4vkp.livejournal.com]

Suspected that may have been you...

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Frist?

So, what I'm wondering is, who are these people who choose prompts for their potential to thwart rather than to evoke? o_O

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Noo idea who these devilish rogues might be? :D :D

[kf4vkp.livejournal.com]

Topic selected, and written about... now I just need a beta reader should anyone wish to volunteer.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

*double take* You're, like, fast and stuff.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Um...

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Meta!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Yep, I think I have got some ideas. Now to let them percolate while we mix concrete and fix the laundry floor...

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I'm going to turn my brain off for a little while and see what happens.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I do that all the time, LOL. I have a vague idea for one topic, but still simmering.

[meepalicious.livejournal.com]

I have an idea, but I'm gonna need to do some research and maybe a history major to help me. I'd be happy to return the favor, of course.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Ooh anything that might need a history major's involvement sounds good to me!

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

My brain is too busy going, "Oooo, someone sent in '1337'!" to actually think of anything sensible with any of them.

[neverletyoupart.livejournal.com]

LOL. Oh, good, I'm not alone in my mental state right now. Haha!

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

Picked, and I pretty much have to write my entry tonight, because we're leaving tomorrow and won't be back until Monday!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Where are you going?

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

Spent about 20 minutes WTF-ing at the topics. Then went past where the kids are sleeping and came up with the obvious idea. So I'm done. :)

Now if only I could sleep...

[annaonthemoon.livejournal.com]

I can't even remember what topics I submitted!

1337 immediately made me think of high school, so....maybe. Hmmmm.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Chillin' Like a Villain was one of mine. I had to go look up my Paypal receipt to recall what the other one was, LOL. :)

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

I think the secound chance topics look a lot easier then the regular ones.
I must spend time thinking on the topic matters.
Time to go crawl up next to a sweet black dog as she is two now and no longer a puppy.

[whipchick.livejournal.com]

OK - I'm the internet dork. What does 1337 mean?

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

I always wonder if houses with the number 1337 sell for a bit more to internet peeps. ;)

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

Oh boy. I'm stumped

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

That reminds me I never even submitted topics XD


So if Nigerian is admissable, that means French is too ...

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Vous pensez que oui? Comment dit-on "1337" en francais?

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I have my topic picked out. I just have to look at a couple of things first before I start writing.

And today I sally forth to HR with my "go back to work" note!

[kajel.livejournal.com]

Yay! Good luck.

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Newb question: how much pain does it cause when you try to combine all four topics?

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I'd say plenty of pain, but if you can pull it off, you have my neverending admiration!

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Hey, those of you who have problems reading everything - two people already have their entries up and I just finished reading and commenting on them while eating my breakfast. You don't have to wait until the poll is up to get started. :)

Also I am going with 1337, although I think I might try to take it in a different direction than the obvious. Also I hadn't submitted topics yet, because I wasn't sure if I could, being here on a sponsorship.

I think I will now though.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

A lot of people also set up alerts for that post so they'll read stuff as it comes in. It's supposedly very handy if you're reading on a smartphone. I'm such a tech n00b I have no idea how to go about doing it.

I'm on sponsorship too, and I submitted topics. I didn't last time because I thought the same thing you thought, and I was told if I was playing, I can certainly submit topics.

[bookishgeek.livejournal.com]

I've got nothin' for any of these. Ingenuity, take the wheel.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Let it simmer for a bit. That's what I do when I'm stuck. An idea usually comes to me when I least expect it!

[mezzogiorno.livejournal.com]

I'm pondering 1337, or maybe "Write about Indians".

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

Good morning, GR!

I think I've found my topic. Now to find time to write it while my gf is here.

And the deadline is on my birthday. Don't I feel special!

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday! :)

[kajel.livejournal.com]

I keep popping over to the GR to post my good morning and hello. For the past two hours, every time I did, I was distracted. I just spent the past 20 minutes looking up the etymology of Kajel. I discovered its Hindu origin in my AOHell days in the late 90's. I kept getting all these messages to chat from Indian men. lol To me, it is a combination of mine and my bff's names created when we were 13 or 14.

[dreamwriteremmy]

I think I know what I'm doing for SCI.

I am sorely tempted to be the person who creates homegame threads for both sides of the game in the GR, because I kind of want to play with the main competition topics just for fun even though it's probably more stress than the practice is worth (I think this game is addling my brain more than usual)... Someone either enable me or talk me out of this? (I don't know what I want and I really need to stop talking in parentheticals D:)

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I am a fan of parentheticals. :)

I doubt anyone around here is going to talk you out of writing HG entries.

I'm tempted to write one of the SCI topics myself. I have to make myself write an actual entry first, though.

[tru2myart.livejournal.com]

:waves: Hey guys! Long time, no Green Room!! How's tricks?

I'm loving that Sand and Stars topic. I feel a home game entry coming on.

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Yay, Home Game entry! :)
