Good afternoon.

I was going to post earlier today, but I wanted a chance to catch up with most of the entries first.

Wow, there is some talent out there. This season is going to be tough!

Not to mention HUGE!! Has all of LJ signed up for this season yet?*g* Or are the rest waiting until Friday.

Don't forget to post your Topic 0 posts at: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/69885.html

and most important, remember to go there to READ other people's posts. Like I said, there are some really great ones. Some have been mentioned by other people, and a lot of them haven't yet (there are some REAL surprises for me for people that I already have my eye on who *haven't* gotten more attention...)

and sign up to play this season:

If you have any questions, be sure to check out the FAQ: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/67483.html

I'm asking "veterans" to step up and help some of the "newbies" figure things out. The smoother the process is now, the more fun it will be once we officially get started!

Have a great day!

This is getting bigger and bigger. Wow! I'm really looking forward to reading all of the entries out there. The ones I've read so far have been absolutely wonderful. It's going to be a tough decision this season, I think.

Everyone sounds great! I'm really enjoying seeing how folks introduce themselves. There's a really mixed bag of talent and perspectives out there!

I am glad it was a really slow day at work yesterday as it gave me the ability to read about everyone. Today not so much, only 3 out of 7 in my department decided to come into work today. Granted one had the day off but the others...grrrr and close to end of month. Nice timing.

*steps off box*

I hope everyone else is doing well and having a good Tuesday.

While I realize that GARY *sigh* does not want to have any sort of vote on this week's entries, I am considering running one myself [so I can test some things with my spreadsheet].

Anyone interested? Show of hands, maybe? It would be COMPLETELY unofficial, and would be in my own journal...

Also, I am willing to take questions from the audience... you? Did you have something you wanted to know?

I don't want to be a newbie!

i'm so used to my most personal entries being friends only, and heavily filtered usually at that! i know from following along a bit last season how much of a deep-down self search some of these topics can offer... it makes me very nervous! i am biting my nails just thinking about the intro post!

It is good so far, although I can't get a hair appointment until Thursday (darn the luck).

Which means there is no point in going GLASSES shopping either.

Sheeh.

Guess I have to sit here and play in the green room the rest of the day.

I know what you mean. It is so weird to have a public post. I feel almost, I don't know, exposed somehow. :)

Did you read mine (http://spydielives.livejournal.com/1586552.html) from this year?

You can be as flippant, or as [ir]reverent, as you like with your entries.

Granted, some of the topics will have you pulling your hair in frustration, but some of them will be life-altering when you are done.

[so says the woman who gives Gary and last season's other contestants a LOT of credit for the changes in her life]

I am right there with you.
I used to do the whole public I don't care who is reading but eventually went Friends Only so this whole public thing is just odd once you get used to locking things.

Oh, and you can always move them to FO/P immediately upon the close of voting. They do not have to stay public forever (which is why very few people can read my stuff from last season).

That's good to hear.
Sorry about the hair appointment though.
Which reminds me I need to go for a bang trim, darn things are bugging me.

I want to play...and trying to play but that thing called work is seeming to scream at me to much.

I've really enjoyed the intros, too. There are some really good ones!

second-guessing...I think that is why mine got to be so long. I just kept writing, deleting, rewriting and finally said I just need to lay it all out and see what happens.

I still wonder as I read each entry if I talked to much in general, if I talked about totally pointless things, etc.

I bet he has a secret stash somewhere. We must find it.

Is there a list of topics floating around from last year? I tend to write pretty intensely anyway, but now I'm all like "eeek, what shall I fear?"

I need to make a hair appt soon. My monthly cut is due. (My hair is short enough that it needs to be trimmed every month so that I don't look like a hobo.)

Ah see... I am a kept woman.

I sew for a small profit, pocket money and such, and I am taking most of the month of November off [with one exception] so that I can write, Write, WRITE to my heart's content.

Sorry work is calling. I did my time, years ago. Really, I did.

Ditto.

Short + incredibly curly = 2 weeks of good hair + 2 weeks of "omg is it time to cut it again yet?"

We all wonder that, even when we are seasoned pros *coughcough*

My first "introduction" post sucked so much, I think I might unfilter it so newbies can read it.
