Green Room - Sign Up Week - Weekend Edition

Good morn... afternoon!

How are you doing? Getting ready for the topic tomorrow?

Again, I have to remind everyone that it's a "slow start"/"soft open" situation. People who know me can probably already feel my nervous energy about wanting to get a running start. But I'm taking a suggestion for a couple contestants from last season, and we'll see how that goes. :)

In the meantime, keep spreading the word that sign ups are still open: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/945807.html?

Misery loves company after all!

First! ?!?

I am!

Hey, I'm all for the slow start. My preferred time would be after Xmas, actually. Worst possible season to add more work onto!

I'm looking forward to the prompt. Time to flex some muscles, get rid of the rust, or whatever it takes to start writing again.

Heh, I failed to notice that the topic was tomorrow until now. I guess that means I'm not getting ready for it? I'm interested to see how the slow start/soft open thing is gonna work. :)

I'm nervous but looking forward to giving this a go again!

Hi. It's been a slow day. I had all good intentions of being productive today but that's not happening. Oh well. My husband made a fabulous cranberry coffee cake and I just ate some of that. Want some? We'll go down to the concert at the museum tonight. Yay for an extra hour of sleep!

That's exactly what I need right now, thank you!

*chomps*

If by "getting ready for the topic tomorrow", you mean "catching up on all the dishes I haven't been able to do because our dishwasher is busted", then yes, I'm absolutely ready.

Somehow I don't think that's what you mean, though I'm definitely miserable. :P

[identity profile] i-love-freddie.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
There is no getting ready over here. I am having enough trouble with NaNo right now.

I really hope you aren't kidding about the slow start. That would be cruel. :)

I'm not sure how you get ready for the new topic. Not sharpening pencils. Not stacking fresh clean notebooks.

Finger exercises. Those still work.

Ok. Inspirational video (https://youtu.be/wGp3l3j67q8)

Additional information - I just realized that video is almost entirely visual. Basically, a finger flexibility expert (because apparently that's a thing) is on Johnny Carson's show, and does a routine with his fingers that looks like a dance. It's cooler than it sounds.

I was eighth, but I would very much like a cookie.

:)

*hands you a cookie as well*

xD

[identity profile] baxaphobia.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the explanation. Smile.

[identity profile] kathrynrose.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yum! Thanks. :)

Doing dishes by hand is one of the chores I don't mind doing. We don't have a dishwasher and I really don't care.

[identity profile] j0ydivided.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't normally mind. One of my housemates did a bunch of fancy cooking last night, though, and so there were a ton of dishes with crusted-on food to handle.

We traded, though, and she's cleaning the bathroom today (which I hate), so I guess all's well that ends well?

*collapses into the GR*

Okay seriously why do so many people go to the bank on Saturday? Especially like, between 12-3pm? IT'S STILL NICE OUTSIDE, PEOPLE. GO ENJOY IT. STOP COMING TO MY BRANCHHHH....

We close at 3pm and I was STILL HELPING CUSTOMERS at 327. What is life. Why are you people piling into my drive thru lanes. Why do you beg when I tell you sorry we're closed! *pulls out hair*

[identity profile] yuniebaby.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
My dishwasher's been busted for nearly a year. I'm always catching up on all the dishes. You'd think in a household of five, there would be someone else to work on the catching up. Apparently not. :)

I was afternoon napping and had a dream that 1000 people signed up for Season 10. o.O I had to check the sign-ups. Not quite there . . .

[identity profile] clauderainsrm.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure if that's my dream or nightmare. :)

Looks like Season 10 is going to be smaller than the last couple. I blame Livejournal in general for that. But I've been trying to be more proactive about going out and trying to find some cool and interesting folks who I think would be a good fit. But word of mouth is always the best way.

[identity profile] kathrynrose.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I just scrolled back through the sign up sheet (hadn't in a couple of days) and I'm pretty stoked at the number of newbies (great idea having people declare that) and the number of OLD and I mean OLD timers coming back.


It's also a good time to remind people to check your comment settings. If you don't allow comments from people who aren't on your friends list, you will miss out on the love people want to show your entries.


(Also, another bot like half an hour ago? This is making me nuts. -er than usual.)

Yeah, that's been extremely awesome to see Idol-past and Idol-future meeting up! :)

It's one of the advantages of having a decade of history, that you can tap into it and see people's personal growth as the years have passed.

[identity profile] baxaphobia.livejournal.com 2016-11-05 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather do all those crusty dishes rather than clean the bathroom! A definite good trade!

[identity profile] kschlotwrites.livejournal.com 2016-11-06 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Still nervous! A little excited. I honestly have no idea what to expect!
