A Message to LJ Idol from tru2myart

[kithan.livejournal.com]

Hi. 

I wanted to take a moment and welcome all the new competitors to LJ Idol as well as welcoming back some of the seasoned vets. 
 
I truly enjoyed participating in Idol.  I'm not the best writer but the contest gave me an opportunity to put my heart and soul into what I was writing and to open myself up to LJ in general.  When I started Season 2 I had under 15 friends, afterwards I had over 100.  I met some wonderful people, some of whom have become my dearest friends and I tell you in all sincerity that it was a fantastic experience for me.  I continue to read every season and I find that I pick up a few more people each time.  The amount of talent that joins each round astounds me.  I've read entries that have made me laugh and some that have left me in tears.
 
I'm not technically allowed to participate anymore but I will be playing the "Home Game" in some public entries on my own journal and I'll be pimping the vote.  And of course I'll be voting for my favorites. 
 
Good luck to all of you, I'm looking forward to reading your entries and to getting to know as many of you as I can. 
 
Penny
 
P.S.
Nope, Gary didn't pay me to say it.  And, because it's been brought up for reasons that I'm still trying to figure out, I'm a girl and I don't have a mustache or nose hairs (if I do, noone who sees them lives long enough to tell about it.  :D).

Wait, why can't you participate anymore?
I'm glad you had such a good experience.

She won Season 2. Once you win, you are ineligible for future seasons.

[emaline412.livejournal.com]

Well, that certainly makes sense.

[kithan.livejournal.com]

At least one of the rules had to make sense.

*hides from clauderainsrm*

All of them make sense. You just have to be me to understand them all!*g*

[tru2myart.livejournal.com]

LMAO!! I guess I should have read all the way down before I replied. Great minds man. :D

Gary's crazy rule about winning and all that....which I guess is one of the only rules he's ever made that make sense. :grin:

Thank you. :D It really was a wonderful time, I love the people I met and the way it brought me out of my shell with my writing.

Gary told me that it's fun to kick hippies like Penny. Is this true? o_0

I'm so excited about this season. Just from the green room, my F/L is already growing!

It's only fun to Gary. Hippies are gentle creatures who don't kick back...we just steal cookies.

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I'm being mean and withholding cookies from him. He's been a bad Gary for withholding the first topic for so long!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

*checks the rule book* isn't there a "you get voted out for stealing Gary's cookies" rule?*g* Pretty sure there is!!!!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

I didn't "steal" them. I'm just "withholding." That's definitely a difference.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

all ur cookies are belong to me.

Which is yet one more reason they need a good kicking!!
