Green Room - Week 22 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I just posted about Last Chance Idol: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/782944.html
so if you know anyone who has been on the fence, it's time to knock them off of it!

What are they doing just hanging out on a fence anyway? Are you friends with cartoon cats, howling in the alleyway?

YOUR topic is located right over here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/782025.html and the Work Room is http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/782280.html

It's time to let the world know about the wonders of Idol... so fly my pretties, fly!!

***

Apparently *some of you* aren't actually winged monkeys. Which is a shame. Because winged monkeys are pretty awesome. You are pretty much failing in life by not being one. :(

First?!?

I know I've been MIA. This new work schedule is slowly killing me but it'll work itself out, maybe in the next millenium :p It's now a regular 9-5 gig. I come home, eat dinner, feed/walk Max, sit down to read (never mind respond to) messages...and I doze off the minute I turn on the laptop.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

I dunno if I could do 9-5. I'm so used to my 12-8 these days (and the resultant lack of sleep) that I like, don't know how to function otherwise.

That said, I don't want to go into work tonight on only like 1.5 hours of sleep. *sigh*

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah. 9-5 is a shocker like that.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I do 9-5:30, and I like it. :)

Also - yay FIRST!

[kajel.livejournal.com]

Yay First! I am doing work for the old job from home. It's been throwing me for a loop.

[adoptedwriter.livejournal.com]

Yay! First! AW

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

:listens to echo:

:wonders if she should repaint the crown molding:

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

I'm here, I'm here!

Of course, I am baking a cake for Bob's birthday tomorrow. And it smells amazing. And it came out perfectly done, too. I think I have finally figured out my oven, hah. Gas ovens are a little trickier than the electric ones I've gotten used to...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Apparently, we have more flying monkeys than I originally thought!

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

Oh. Crap. No second chance for all of us hanging by a thread anymore then.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Could always drop, then try your hand at Second Chance -- but there's always that risk of not making it back into the Main Game, too.

Last Chance....?

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

Re: Last Chance....?

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmm...

:sits next to you and tries not to obnoxiously go hmmmmmm in your ear:

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

In other news, I am torn. There are several very good stories in my favourite books that both fit the topic perfectly, and technically have not been told yet, not in English.

But doing a sort of translation retelling remix feels like cheating and smells of plagiarism. The first especially, because someone else has already taken the situation and shaped the story in the form it is now in. Wah.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Well...could you take one of the stories and retell it in your own (English) words? You can say it's "based on X" but it won't be X because it'll be told in your own words...

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

I am not a winged monkey. Sorry about that.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

But you are a gurl, made of kandi! Win!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I haz a fence icon! Mwa ha ha!

I wish I had wings, it would save SO MUCH on gas costs! :)

I second at least 3 of the names on that list!

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Flying monkeys are pure evil! Well, possibly also 'awesome,' but definitely evil.

Let me add my own shout-outs, the ones that are not redundant with the list above:

maerhys
desertport
alephz
witchwife (who byed-out far too soon!!!)
java_fiend
porn_this_way
alien_writings
medleymisty
muchtooarrogant
tru2myart
ecosopher

and several people on my f-list whom I will nag separately, because they probably have no idea what Idol is and this would not be the place to drag coax them in. ;)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I approve of these names! Good choices!

[beldar.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I am a flightless mon- I mean lemur. Can't even afford to fly Southwest these days. (Or any other direction, for that matter)

[adoptedwriter.livejournal.com]

Do. I get a special prize for being "last"? LOL
Just waiting for my tutoring kid to show up at the local Panera. Nice place to work since The closest. Barnes and Noble shut down. This kid (technically her mom) tends to cancel and ditch a lot. Sucks. This is why kid needs a tutor. At least. I get to enjoy a chai tea and sunshine for a bit.

Am I wrong, or isn't this still week 22???

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

It is, the entries are due Thursday this time.

What confused you?

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

I just had to comment, given my user name on LJ...

I'm not sure. A few people have asked privately, but no one who is a current contestant. I don't think I'm "remembered" enough to do this, and I worry health might legitimately get in the way (I never know when another hospital stay is coming, though it's not like hospitals don't have WiFi. It's the comas that cause the issues). Sooooo... yeah. If I thought people cared, I might, but my energy is really gone, and maybe my tales and exploits are better saved for the memoir I'm trying to finish before I die. :) So I am, honestly, on the fence.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

That's an appropriate place for you to be. ;)

I want you to play. If, and only if, you think you would be able.

If nothing else, play until you can't.

[reckless-blues.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I want to tell my other internet friends to come here and play with these internet friends or if I don't want the streams to cross.
