Green Room - Week 16 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

OMG! Did you see that unconfirmed report about that thing that the guy did??? He’s horrible. He shouldn’t be allowed out in the street with other people!

Why would anyone ever like a guy like that??? It’s really typical of guys though. They do horrible stuff.

I am going to blog about this right now!!! I read that story blurb and I have all kinds of things that I need to talk about! Things only I can present to the world!!

I wrote it and it’s getting lots of hits!

Hey, it just got picked up on several different sites!

Some of the people commenting sure are idiots! I can’t believe they are allowed to use the same internet as the rest of us!!

There’s another update to the story! Apparently most of the original story was inaccurate, and they are “correcting” the details.

Clearly someone is covering something up. Because people don’t just go post news stories without stopping to make sure the story is right!
I’m going to write a blog about the cover-up and why this guy isn’t just put away for life!!!

Speaking of doing horrible stuff:

Greetings Green Room!!!! I've been non-existent due to things going on in my neck of the woods. Good things, but still things that keep me from checking LJ.

I got to feed my nephew last week for the first time. He just turned 2 months old yesterday. :)

Hope all is well with all of you!!

~*::Meow::*~

PS: Frist?!?!!! I'm Frist!

Woohoo, first! Those things, they keep happening, don't they? Good to see you.

[bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com]

This is the first time I was the first comment. It's weird :-P

And yeah, all those things, important things. Soon, things will stop being things and I can go back to my normal day-to-day.

Good to see you too :)

~*::Meow::*~

Your nephew is 2 months old and yesterday was the first time he's been fed??? ;)

[bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com]

LOL! You're so funny :-P

~*::Meow::*~

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Omg. I'm so glad you brought this up, because those guys who do that stuff... It makes my blood boil.

We're having our own horrors here in Australia. Our election was on the weekend and we've just been plunged back into 1950 with the victory by the conservatives.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Those guys who do that stuff are horrible.

I intend to use the full weight of my Internet Outrage(tm) to shame them for their actions. Especially where they shame other people. That is unacceptable behavior!!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

And that is precisely why I don't read a lot of blogs...or start one of my own. Just thinking of the energy needed to keep up with it exhausts me.

I'm in a weird headspace right now. Don't mind me.

[tatdatcm.livejournal.com]

This!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I've considered setting up a blog. But then I see people who are dealing with backlash and think "Yeah, I get enough of that in Idol!" Why borrow trouble! ;)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Smart man ;)

Seriously, though, the amount of energy needed to maintain that particular outraged tenor, is, for me, unfathomable (I don't mean a once-in-a-while outrage, btw). I think in the long run you not only burn yourself out blogging such, but I'd think you'd also lose a lot of readers in the long run too.

I ran across such a blog the other day and it made me shake my head in the "Wow, I hope you're a bit more toned down IRL" kind of way. I can't imagine maintaining such a persona or even being that way all the time IRL.

Good Morning GR! Been a while since I peeked in, but life is getting back to normal now.

A week on vacation = a week away from the internet + another week to get back into the swing of things. It was glorious in some ways. :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Normally, I wouldn't point people to go anywhere else, but since no one is here anyway:

http://lordhellebore.livejournal.com/1017995.html

is an interesting conversation about the difference between "triggers" and "squicks", which I know is an issue that comes up here from time to time.

I am not having any smart remarks right now to respond with.

My grandma has been hospitalized with kidney failure and as she is alergic to antibiotics (all) they are not (or have not) done dialisis. She also has a living will.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandma. Is she somewhere nearby where you are able to visit?

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

No.
My mother is going down but I have to stay here and manage teens.

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

:( I'm sorry to hear about your grandma.

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

I will be okay.
I worry more about my mother.
I have to be strong for her and my children.
I can deal. I have excellent coping skills.

Late Commenter League: Hospital Edition

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Wow...where is everybody?!?!?

Just returned from the hospital. My FIL has had a stroke plus an ongoing coronary attack. His condition is "very guarded".

SO and I spent most of the time amusing the younger grandkids (aka the nieces/nephews).

FIL is in what's called a twilight coma.

I don't know what else to say.

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's rough. :( I'm sorry.

Holy hell, my head hurts. Woke up at 3:30am to drive 3 hours to an 8-hour business meeting that went 2 hours over. Am at hotel now, and I know I'll have no time to write an entry tomorrow, but I know I have no capacity to write one tonight.

Okay, I'm done whining. </whining>

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

Yipe! Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I was gonna whine some more, but I realized I already closed the tag. ;-) So you lucked out!

And good luck to you as well!

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

I'm trying not to do horrible stuff with the thing I'm writing. I hope I manage. My sweetie is being super patient with me and playing a game downstairs so I have fewer distractions while I write. It's good to have idol-enablers around.

Hi, GR!

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

So I'm not sure if this got posted to a GR, but anyone who is interested in writing in an historical context might find http://twentytwowords.com/2013/09/05/performing-shakespeares-plays-with-their-original-english-accent/ (this video) on Shakespearean works and early Modern English to be interesting.
