Green Room - Week 7 - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Remember to post your entries to the topic thread: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/91648.html

You only have one more day!!

***

Wow. What a day yesterday huh?

In that spirit, I think I'm going to come up and say that I am proud of all of you. Even when things got heated anyone who's spent ANY time online knows how bad that could have gotten. It didn't. It didn't because people got upset, but they kept talking it out instead of just yelling and insulting each other (to the point of a flame war).

So kudos to you.

Also - here's a gift for those who care about these things.

The next three "Idol shifts" game wise:

From 100 to 50
From 50 to 25
From 25 to 10

OMG. Really! I KNEW IT!

So does this mean there'll only be, like, three more topics? That seems crappy.

Morning!

I need to go with my reading of entries. Work has been a tad busy so I haven't had a lot of time to read a lot at a time.

and in other news I am done with my semester as of last night:)
Now I am free from school till the end of next month.

Good morning!

Thank you to everyone who had patience with me, yesterday.

I have been reading some wonderful entries - I like that.

Oh wait... What do you mean... "Idol shift?"

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

So wait, what's going to happen? 50 people are going to be voted off in one shot? Ouch.

I almost posted here saying "wow, you're early," but then I realized that now I'm back in the US, green rooms don't show up at 4pm anymore...

There was almost wank? Ooh, do share! Inquiring jetlagged minds want to know.

Also. There are fox tracks in the snow in my backyard. Very cool.

Re: Good morning!

[hopefulnebula]

Good question. I wanna know that too...

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

It made for an excellent discussion to read when I found it that night- very enlightening.

You need to sign online and say hi, Spydie.

If we are going to split two weeks in row... wouldn't that mean that those who have their byes in reserve can guarantee a top 50 place by using them both?

Before I announce the topic, remember that everyone has TWO BYES. These bye weeks can be used any time between now and the TOP 50. from the first topic entry. (http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/72539.html)

That doesn't sound right...

Re: Good morning!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Oh, ALL RIGHT *exaggerated, sigh*

You are a wonderful person, and after all are only human, so hugs to you for dealing with whatever life throws your way!

I'm off to sleep, and will try not to think about this idol shift that I think Gary is trying to scare us with. :)

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

I wish I could whip out my one gold star and say "You can't vote me off, I have GOLD STAR POWER!"

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I guess I missed some heat by avoiding yesterday's GR, huh?

So by "idol shifts" does he mean shifting tribes around, or just totally eliminating the bottom 50 vote getters in one week??? EEEk!

Up too late, overslept, heading off to work now. Kthxbye!

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*beams*...yes...

There's something that can be said about "let's take it Outside Mister!"

Fuck...sounded like I've drank 5 cups of coffee or something already. It's a wee past 5:30 AM here...

*waves*...

I finished my LJ Idol Post last night and I'm actually bloody terrifically happy about it!!!

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

or just totally eliminating the bottom 50 vote getters in one week??? EEEk!

Well, at least the people on my f-list will be relieved when I stop talking about it.

*bows*...

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Heh heh

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*wank alerts*

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

better not...I think my recent entry was my best yet!...

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*snorts*...coffee?

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

how come i never know what we're talking about always?
or maybe it's good. i like avoiding drama.
still, i'm lost. :(
and what-huh, top 50?
*brain a'splodes*

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

It would end up being a rather unfortunate slash and burn. But I guess once it was proven that size of f-list doesn't necessarily have a solid bearing on votes received, the process has to be hastened a bit, otherwise we're going to be doing this until next summer.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

He could make the votes "community only."

That would make it even MORE fun!

About yesterday....

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

As a side note, I think something needs to be said about Spydie's character. I've been reading her since the tail end of Season 3, and I've met very few people online that are quite as generous of heart and accepting as she is. Very soon after being friends with her online I added her to my special filter on my LJ-- I'd felt very unjudged by her and have only grown to trust her more over the last few months- her good advice, her editing of my Idol posts with me, her time spent sharing with me, etc.

Anyways, I know her more than many here, and I know that she's a respectful, and sometimes verbally playful person who may have been part of some miscommunication yesterday. I can only imagine how upsetting this must have been for her, because caring for people for who they are is fundamental to the person she is.

I feel that the people here on Idol here generally trust me and perhaps also my judgment. With that in mind, I'd like to ask that those of you who may have been frustrated with her yesterday to keep your minds open. Predjudice and ignorance of any kind one of the two easiest ways to get me angry. If I thought there was any sincere attacks, ignorance or generalizations being made at all on her part yesterday, I would not ask this.

Wow- it really was a "day" here yesterday. I was so busy having my own day that I didn't stop in. When I finally got to relax, I had it in my head that I should write up a post or two. It wasn't until I saw this post that I went over to see how things went. I can see why you're impressed; seems like everyone worked really hard to understand each other and undo any misunderstandings that occurred. I wish there was more of that kind of dedication online.

Are those shifts equivalent to the next three weeks, or are they the next big shakeups and happening here and there like previous shifts?

Or, is that for you to know, and us to find out? *g*
