Green Room - Week 2 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning, a couple things well worth checking out: Our Week 2 poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/719384.html

Remember to vote to keep your favorites in the competition! You can vote for as many people as you want! (personally, I vote for everyone. But that's me)

Also, there's something new. I'm a bit nervous about it. But I've had this in mind for quite some time, and figure if it's ever going to happen, it might as well be now! I call it "The Killing Floor". There's a description of it's purpose over here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/719625.html Basically though, it serves as a bonus Work Room, specifically aimed at critique, and helping rework past writings. Think of it as a Writer's Workshop, Idol style!

Will it work? *shrug* Who knows. But it's one of the ideas that has been floating around my head for awhile now that I'm trying out to see if it catches. If it doesn't, it doesn't. There are more ideas out there that will undoubtably show up in Season 9!

What are some of the things that are going to show up in your life today? ;)

Yayyyy I like the name of the Killing Floor. Very apt. :D

HOPEFULLY A FRICKEN INTERVIEW WILL BE SCHEDULED TODAY.

Also my child and my ex are sick with the pukes. Yay.

ALSO I AM A FIRST NINJA HELL YES.

Okay, so the second I saw the killing floor tag, I got really excited to see what terrible twist you were throwing at us in week 2. Does that mean I have Stockholm syndrome?

And you're first!

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

This will be my only first all season because I happened to actually be on my computer when the post went up. HUZZAH.

I could be getting so many things done today and can't because anxiously awaiting a phone call back and also eventually will be dealing with probably-not-sick-anymore child (he tends to only puke a handful of times and is magically better).

Or now. Apparently he finally woke up.

Haha, we should rename it Idol syndrome . Or think of a whole new syndrome name...

The killing floor...I like it.

Today, my manager finally announced to our team that I am leaving for a new job. Whew. The whispers and people acting like they didn't know was stressing me out. All of the guys I coordinate came into my office after the announcement to hear my official word, express their sadness and congratulations. It made me feel really good. They even planned a going away celebration for me. :)

I'm going to miss this team, but I am SO excited about the new job!!!

Crossing fingers for an interview!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay for a new job and for a going away party!

[phoenixejc.livejournal.com]

This.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Bah. It is 10pm and I have yet to bake cupcakes for J's birthday tomorrow. I have to bake 24.

Shit.

Guess I will probably take the ipad into the kitchen and LJ while I bake.

Also, why would you be nervous, Gary? Everyone always loves whatever you do. Or if they don't, they quietly mutter about it to themselves. It never blows up into some huge barney where they accuse you of being unfair/illogical/evil. Never, ever.

I do think it's a cool idea, though. I was just talking to my dad about how hard it is to get good feedback... without having to pay a lot of money for it.

*hands you a cookie*

Don't puke it up, 'kay?

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, if you do, so do I.

[robertlyon.livejournal.com]

There better not be a buncha dead bodies scattered about.

Oh my gosh I'm so excited about The Killing Floor, Gary! I think it's an awesome idea! I've always wanted to rework some of my stories from past seasons (are past seasons allowed?. Will definitely be posting some things up there if anyone wants to crit them.

Eye doctor's appointments will be showing up in my future before my dinner service today - having a flareup of an old problem, but I just need to be prescribed some eye drops and make sure that nothing worse is going on, and I should be good to go. Reading entries as long as my affected eye allows me to (it gets tired more easily when I'm looking at computer/phone screens when it's untreated) and getting Chipotle for lunch. Fun times!

[kajel.livejournal.com]

Idol entries will be showing up in my life today! Possibly more coffee also, and breakfast. Yes, breakfast is good.

[banyangirl1832.livejournal.com]

What kind of cupcakes are you making? And happy birthday to J!

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

Same. Although I'm already kicking myself for posting there, or wondering if I should have linked my nonfiction post from last week instead (because how do you get honest crit on something that personal otherwise?) or what. I am totally not neurotic, I swear.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Probably vanilla. Boring :D but I will make chocolate icing.

Thanks! She is three :D

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

Great, now you got "Bodies" by Drowning Pool stuck in my head. Blah.

[banyangirl1832.livejournal.com]

Vanilla with chocolate icing was always my favorite as a kid! As long as you put sprinkles on top, I was inclined to eat pretty much any baked good, haha.

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

I love vanilla or yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Om nom nom nom.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I already called the woman twice like she told me to, and she has yet to return my call. Bleh.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

I already told my body it's not allowed to get sick until I get out of work on Thursday morning. Because I can deal with being sick as long as it's not costing me money.

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

I was going to post a picture of my Morning Hair for whoever it was that was curious (I think sra33?) but I am on the Conference Call That Never Ends, and my phone is elsewhere. Oh well.

Call finally ended! (What is wrong with me?)



I especially like how it looks like I have a huge bald spot on top. Yay for thin/fine hair.
