The Lobby - 4

"I am sick and tired of people
Who are living on the B-list.
They're waiting to be famous
And they're wondering why they do this.

And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic,
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this:

Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live."
- Frank Turner - "I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous"

::pokes the lobby:: G'mornin', everyone. I'm just about to pass out, lol.

Hi all! And I adore Frank Turner. Seeing him live in a couple of weeks!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I saw him the night that I posted that. You're in for a good time.

The Sleeping Souls are amazing, I'm glad that he's touring with them now.

Hmmm. Vague, out of context song lyrics of a semi-depressing nature appearing in a late-night post sans any explanation... yup, this is definitely Livejournal!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Glad to see I'm not the only one picking up on that -- hence my "Mmmmm" upthread ;)

Lol

Morning everyone. :P

I wish I was back in bed.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

Not til tonight, eh? Working?

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

mmm....does this mean a season might be soon? :)

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon. What brings these tidings?

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be comfort and joy. This is Gary after all ;)

Hello LJ Idol! I've been plugging along merrily reviewing books and networking with folks and all that jazz. Also in conversation with an author about writing a book guide for her novel... which is pretty exciting. Hey, maybe I don't have the fire in my belly or the discipline at this point in my life to write a book--but I'm still having fun talking about writing. :)

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I admire all you are doing with your blog, FB page etc. Writing a book guide sounds fun too :)

Hello there Greenies! I made some delicious sausage gravy for breakfast this morning (with canned biscuits) - nom nom nom! Not much else going on, resting and relaxing and enjoying the three-day weekend, w00t.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

Sounds delicious :)

Hello everyone! I'm working on my novel for NaNo - am a little behind on the word count but it is slowly coming along.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

What is your novel about? :)

NaNo society of slackers, expats, and conscientious objectors

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

A'ight, fess up. Who are the other Idolers who aren't doing NaNo? Is it just this year, or do you never do it?

I'll go first. Not doing NaNo because I hate writing fiction and just don't really care about writing a novel. Never done NaNo, never really wanted to.

Next?

Re: NaNo society of slackers, expats, and conscientious objectors

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I've never done it and am not this year. I almost, start to start some years but I never get very far.

I feel a little guilty sometimes though, as so many LJers seem to do it...

Hello everyone!

So... this is quite mysterious...

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

I'll see your mysterious lyrics, and raise you some lyrics:

Take all that you've got
Multiply by zero
Divide by the time you've got left
That's x

Add it up write it down tell me what you've found

We're speaking in tongues
Both of us dumbfounded
Our brains have been impounded by our hearts

Life is so uncertain
Look at all the hurting that we've done
You said you had somebody better to become

Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you

We're wasting our time
Watching our old reruns
Waiting for the good one that never comes

You say it beats working
On the emptiness that's lurking inside your head
Step into the light my friend

Who's stopping you [4x]

You said you had somebody better to become

Who's stopping you [8x]
- Semisonic, "Who's stopping you"

Good morning, lovelies!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Haven't been worth much lately. It's been over a month since I've read my f-list.

The good news is the summer is over and temps have dropped. The bad news is I am in a funk and my words are broken.

And I miss the Green Rooms, but I'm SO not ready for the season to start back up yet (see aforementioned broken words).

Blahblahblah, etc.

Anyone still around? Here's a conversation starter.

Did you guys catch Stephen Colbert's comments about self publishing during "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger" on last night's show?

Dinosaur porn anyone?
