Green Room

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning. Coming in this morning I wasn't expecting to see that we would have officially hit the DOUBLING POINT from last season.

Wow.

Thank you guys so much.

Especially since I've already seen the "anti-everything" squad coming out. You know - the "this is so stupid because..." (basically, when you break down their reasons, because it's not what they want it to be, not that they would ever see anything through or do much of anything. But it's not what they want, so it's stupid/bad/a waste/your words here.) Sorry, that was my inside frustrated voice.*g* More people showing up saying wonderful things than have ever shown up before and I focus on the maybe two people I've seen who wouldn't satisfied with something they've only really seen at a distance... yeah, that's me all over!

I think that's one of the biggest challenges. This isn't a sprint. This is a marathon. There are going to be times when YOU are going to roll your eyes or think something isn't quite what you would want it to be. The secret with that - just like anywhere else in life - is to find a way to get through it, if you actually want to get to the other side.

Anyway, need to get into work! Have a wonderful day and I am SO pleased to see all of you here! Thank you for playing my little game. I realy do hope you manage to find aspects of it that you can enjoy.

Good morning! Need to get out the door myself to work but that darn coffee pot isn't done making the coffee yet, can't leave with no coffee.

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Starting the day without coffee would be WRONG. Very, very wrong.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Good Morning!

I'm off today, so I suspect I'll be bouncing between here and real life.

It looks like it's going to rain today.

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I would love for us to get some rain today. Looks like we might...

[maleficently.livejournal.com]

Good Morning! Well, night for me. That's what I get for being one of those wacky graveyarder people!

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

I'm a wacky graveyard person myself.

Nice to meetcha!

[tryslora]

I love you for your attitude! I always say "roll with the punches" and think the hills and valleys are what makes life, well, life. But then I look forward to the twists. *grins*

I'm off to Saratoga for the World Fantasy Convetion for the weekend. Mmm vacation. Can't wait!

[chazari.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'll be there too! Maybe we should arrange a meeting...

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Good morning everyone!

I am sorry you won't see much of me today (but you probably are not) as I have a very full day ahead of me.

Have a great one.

*chugs some coffee and dashes out the door*

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

you probably are not

Psh!

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

Good morning Gary!

I'm going to have a hard time keeping up with all of these entries, and they're not even for votes. I can't imagine next week when we actually have to try to vote on 200 entries. ;)

I'll get it figured out though, and hopefully I don't get in trouble at work trying to catch up on the entries. Oops!

Thanks for coordinating this mess and thanks to kithan for all of your hard work too. I don't expect to be in the contest long, but I'll be sticking around for the long haul...

Now to see if I need to make some updates to my entry. I've had a lot of things floating around in my head the last few days.

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I haven't been able to read even a tenth of the week 0 posts!

[heykatie.livejournal.com]

Meh. Work gets in the way of being part of the LJ Idol Green Room!!! :( :(

Hopefully they won't notice that I've sneakily used my lunch break to jump in!

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Goooood morning, everyone. How was y'all's Halloween? Mine was probably my best in years.

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

Mine was different. Not the best by far. I think it's because I'm still meh and not feeling myself. I'm hoping for a better Thanksgiving.

I'm glad yours was wonderful.

[welfy.livejournal.com]

I had a fun Halloween. I found some fairy wings in my spare room so I wore them with some retro tights! I had a lone dance party while handing out bags of candy to trick-or-treaters. I spent about $50 on Halloween candy and everyone on my friends list thought it was too much! But I ended up getting rid of the majority of my candy. YES!



I called in sick today. My dinner from the night before didn't agree with me, apparently. :^( Plus I ate a lot of those inferior fun-size candy bars. My body's so accustomed to gourmet chocolate now that a lot of commercial candy makes me queasy now. But, come on! Butterfingers! Mmm.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

My Og, I'm going blind just looking at those tights!

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

Good morning, all! I'm a bit frustrated this morning, but its nothing that a nice walk and a large cup of tea can't fix.

So many Topic 0 entries, so little time...its gonna be madness once voting starts!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

i find myself become more and more obsessed with this whole lj idol thing, yes it is going to be madness!

[twirlandswirl.livejournal.com]

I feel unworthy. All my friends are talking about all the new LJ Idol friendings they are getting. I'm the uncool kid on the playground. :(

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

You are the uncool kid on the playground!

*hugs* Just teasing you hun. I haven't gotten any friendings either, but I haven't done any yet either. Too many people to start to get to know. :)

Shunnnnnnnnn…uh.

[emaline412.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm having a great time so far. Shun the nonbelievers!

Re: Shunnnnnnnnn…uh.

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

I love you!

Shuuuunnnn! the non-believers is my new motto!

*giggles*

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I came for the hot chocolate ;)

*sneaks a cookie*

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

Good morning all! Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! =)

Back to work I go =S

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Don't feel bad about those negative comments - there are some people who don't want to be happy. They like complaining, poor souls.

My big plans for the day include hitting the post-Halloween sales to get some cheap,creepy swag for next year and baking some banana bread, yummy!

Is it really November already?? October was so crazy/busy/fun that it disappeared like the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups from my children's trick or treat bag.

"The Reeses are missing? Noooo! Mommy would NEVER eat your chocolate! Go ask daddy about that - you know what a candy pirate he is!" *Teehee*

Anyway, it was great and I have that sort of restive melancholy that hits after a beloved event has come and gone. Luckily, I already get to look to next Halloween because, as we headed home last night from candy begging, my daughter announced that "next years" she wants us to dress as the characters from The Wizard of Oz. Fun!

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

I lurve the Reese's!

:D

[beemerbike.livejournal.com]

crabby people suck!

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

That they do!

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

G'morning.

I work from home, so I'm not working yet. Still in my PJs. Woke up at 10. Got out of bed at 10:30.

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

*hates you*

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

As a newbie, I have to ask a few stupid questions:

How do we know exactly how many people are in the competition?

How do we know whose entries to read?

How in the world do we read that many entries?

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I'm a newbie too... This might be the biggest LJ Idol ever; I think eliminations are going to have to happen by the dozen so we aren't playing the rest of our lives!

[missinfinity.livejournal.com]

Eurgh, the only thing I'm especially anti- at the moment is application essays. *stabs with a spork*

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

*snugs Gary*

Little did he know, the game he created to wile away boredom would evolve into something this huge.

I plan on reading the rest of the introductions at work tonight. (or as many of them as I can) I think I'm on page 3 or 4.

Watch out pages 4-6 (or is it 7 by now) I'm coming for YOU!!!!

Oh my, that didn't come out exactly right now did it.

*giggles*

I'm harmless really.

[mme-furiosa.livejournal.com]

I want so badly to read everyone's! Time is a real impediment here. Is it wrong to skim entries that "don't do anything for me?" Or does that qualify me as a class-A douche bag? Just wondering.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I think it's a small dose of class-A douche bag, but it's understandable douchery. 200 people, I mean c'mon. Not all 200 are going to be riveting.

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Hi folks,

I'm off work today, so this is the first time I'll get to view the green room in real time! I've read quite a few entries, and will read more later. Their great! I can't wait till we get another topic.

[40sw.livejournal.com]

I want to do another entry. now. yesterday. are we ready for week 1, yet?

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I feel the same way.

productivity: 18%

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

2:16 pm
I've done no work yet!
I've meditated, and gone to the grocery store. Later I'm supposed to watch The Neverending Story for the first time. I know, it's horrid. To have been born in 1981 and never joined the adventures of Falcor or whatever its name is.

[djner.livejournal.com]

I'm finally to page 4 of comments. over 870 down, lots to go, but I can see the light at the end of the figurative tunnel.
