Green Room - Week 2 - Day 2 (and results of run off)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Today we say goodbye to taybar19 who lost in a very competitive three way race! Again, kind of surprised by that, but someone had to be voted out, and I would have been surprised with any of the three to tell the truth. You will be missed in the competition. Hopefully you will stay involved in the community.

***

Yes, I know that I'm late posting a Green Room today. I've received your emails.*g* However I made a promise to the people in this community when it was set it for Season 2 that I would try to keep my posts to the minimum, so I figured that I would post this AFTER the vote.

For those of you left standing, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TOP 150!!!

Remember to post your entries at http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/76142.html and read those who have already done so!!!

Finally, man! It just wasn't a morning with you.

[leinahtane.livejournal.com]

im thinking it wasnt a morning for anyone, or least around here it wasnt. got up looked outside (all dreary and damp) just wanted to go back to bed.

[dizzydog.livejournal.com]

The sad part of LJ Idol, seeing people go away. With 150 people left, I guess we'll be seeing a lot of it.

Quiet day at work today, anyone have anything entertaining going on?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Yeah... watching people leave is harsh.

Bye taybar19. We will miss you.

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Anybody have any favorites yet from this round? I have a LONG list already.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I really liked most of the ones I read last night. I need to catch up today with what has been posted, darn work getting in the way of my LJIdol reading.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

My morning didn't feel right actually getting ready and somewhat out the door on time, rather then the past mornings where I let myself get consumed with the green room before I am out the door.

I feel honored to still be sticking around in the top 150.

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday.

So how was everyone's day? (Well, how's it going for most of you.) Had enough of it getting dark early yet? I knew I should have gone to Australia...

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I hate the getting dark so early. I feel like I don't see the light of day anymore with it being dark when I leave in the am and dark when I get home from class.

[browneyedgirl65.livejournal.com]

Lots of really spectacular entries. I've been blown away several times already.

And thanks to all of you commenting on my posts. I'm not used to so many comments *grin*. I love it, don't stop!

Need to get out and post my own comments. But these posts are generally much more serious so I've backed off a bit in order to better absorb these entries...

[sircaliban.livejournal.com]

I tried leaving comments on entries as I was leaving them.. About half way through, I gave up and just made note of who I wanted to vote for.


I did read everyone's entries though :)

[sircaliban.livejournal.com]

There's the green room! yay.. party!

[hopefulnebula]

If you're gonna party, be considerate about it. Couple years ago I was teching a show and our projector op came in to closing night so blasted he could barely show the replacement we called up upon noticing his state how to work the thing. (He'd messed it up beforehand, too.) Then he passed out in the (real life) greenroom.

If only he'd left his headset on, just so the rest of us could have heard the reaming-out he got.

It's a lot more funny now than it was then, that's for sure.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I did want to mention... I apologize for NOT commenting on many entries lately.

I have read nearly all of them, but I am trying to stay focused on comparing them relative to each other.

Please do not think that a lack of comment means I didn't care for your entry.

*group hug*

[browneyedgirl65.livejournal.com]

Not at all, no worries. This set of posts is pretty overwhelming in emotional content.

*hugs back*

[mme-furiosa.livejournal.com]

This round has produced some incredible pieces. I am way behind, sadly, in my readings. Needless to say, I am surrounded by some incredible talent! It's enough to give a gal a complex!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

It's a valuable incentive to step up.

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

I've been proud of myself this round. I've managed to read and respond to every single entry posted so far. Granted, the five hours of sleep is starting to catch up to me...but no matter, no matter. *drags self across floor*

It's...all...

for the good...*drag thump*

of...

LJ...Idol... *falls asleep in the middle of the floor*

[browneyedgirl65.livejournal.com]

*rolls twystedpixie over into corner*
*tucks pillow under head and covers with blanket*
*turns out lights*

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

Incidentally, for those signed up for the cookie swap, is there anything you're allergic to or absolutely will not eat?

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

yeah, i was wondering about that. what if there are peanut or walnut or chocolate allergies or something. i don't want to kill anyone.

for my own sake, i'm allergic to milk, but it's nothing that would effect my cookie-eating. (my allergy isn't as severe as it was when i was younger, but i just try to have milk in moderate amounts.)

[twirlandswirl.livejournal.com]

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. :D

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

Happy happy! <3

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I'm pumped because I've managed to write and post my own entry, meanwhile reading every other entry posted thus far. It rocks to be on top of my game.

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

F'sure. This week is shaping up to be pretty decent. The Steelers won, I've managed to respond to everyone's entry and have posted my own...of course, the week is young. But so far, AWESOME.

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

Even though this topic was a bit tough, I freaking love it. I think it allowed for so much creative interpretation and brought on incredible entries. Reading all the entries makes me want to become friends with everybody, you know? I haven't read someone yet and left thinking "Man, I just really don't like that person." It's nice!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*Feels so much better hearing that*

I *still* want to pull down my entry, because of what it says about me.

But I won't. Not until after voting, anyway.

[tralfamadore.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon everyone. I actually just woke up! Darn this flu. Now I'm going to get to work reading the rest of the currently posted entries for this week's topic. This has been such a heavily emotional topic already, but I've found many favorites.

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

Thinking clearly with the flu sucks. Hopefully you bounce back soon. <3

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Damn 150?!?!?!

Wow this has grown at lot since the first year.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Season 1 had 9 people in it. 9 because I was having so much trouble talking the 10th person into signing up and just wanted to get started.

From there it went to 24. From there 72, and now 154. If I survive and decide on a Season 5 and beyond, I have no idea what I could be facing!

[wildcatwrites.livejournal.com]

Woot! Top 150!!!

(sorry for those that had to leave) :(

Um...this weeks topic...yeah...I HATE it!

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

*comforts*

*musing*

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

I wonder how much our collective productivity will drop at work/school/home in the next few weeks...

Re: *musing*

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

For me in terms of school work....a lot.
I seem to find this place a heck of a distraction when I am drawing a blank of what to do with a lesson plan or book review.

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

i am having a very bad day. :(

[littlelessevil.livejournal.com]

*snugs for the very bad day*

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

ok, that's 3 out of 3 times my entry has landed on the 3rd page. weird

now that, that is out of the way I guess I can get started on reading everyone else's entries

[leinahtane.livejournal.com]

shhh...it's a conspiracy ;)

[littlelessevil.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad that this round I wasn't plauged with sickness. Really, my lungs ought to behave when they know I have important things to do.

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

Still working on my entry...I'm a bit nervous about it, but all should be well.

[boundfate.livejournal.com]

So many excellent entries this round, I'm going to end up voting for everyone!

Definitely has brightened my day though - I'm the wierdo who loves talking about fear.

[boundfate.livejournal.com]

9 more to read and I'm caught up! Woo hoo!

[jennieknits.livejournal.com]

I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting comments in my inbox for the last hours or so. Turns out I forgot to track the greenroom. Doh!

Looks like I currently have 20 entries to read (out of 58 posted so far). Not too bad, but I'd like to try to be caught up a little quicker this week than last week.

[sircaliban.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize that you could do that.

What a Day!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

My baby girl has the flu and my baby boy is getting his canine teeth so everyone around here is "high need" today. I am covered in kid-snot and still wearing the jeans I fell asleep in last night when I finally gave in to sleep in my daughter's room. I do get to escape to my job for three hours though, at 6. Good luck, Daddy!

On topic, I am really impressed with everyone's bravery and honesty this round. The posts I have read so far have been startling, moving, amazing.

Re: What a Day!

[ladyozma.livejournal.com]

Oy the flu and teething? You have your hands full! Good luck!!! Hope tomorrow is far better!
