LJ Idol - Season VI!

[aggienaut]

   Notwithstanding that next week I'm leaving the country, whereupon I'll spend the following month traveling through five different countries, and notwithstanding then after only two weeks back here I plan to go out to sea for several months after that, I still intend to give therealljidol the best shot I can this season. :D
   And if I can do that, you do not have an excuse. :D :D


   I'm not sure why I did LJ Idol in the first place, being as the thought of most competitions on LJ fill me with loathing and disdain for the vanity of it all. I think it's because from the start I saw that LJ Idol was so big and strung out that it is more about the journey than the end. It's not one of those small communities of people patting eachother on the back and laughing at outsiders, but its not filled with gratuitous amounts of unwarranted warm fuzzies either. It is, in fact, the perfect balance of good sporting LJing. Its something to do to challenge yourself to blog the best you can, and make a lot of friends along the way.

   ...though I still think the "greenroom" is a dismal quagmire to be by and large avoided until the population of contestants gets down to 50 or so.


   So I strongly encourage you to jump into the mix. Don't stress about it being "a competition" and don't even plan to degrade yourself by asking your f-list to vote (though if you ARE going to be competitive about it don't be too proud to -- by the time I was eliminated last year most people still in were asking their f-list to vote for them multiple times a day)


   Also, of say the six people I really got to know in Idol last season, four of them got laid as a direct result of Idol, and the other two were already married. ;)


And here is a promotional poster the delightful miss whirled made for me:

In many ways I never left :D

[crysania4.livejournal.com]

It would be great fun to do it, but darnitall it overlaps NaNoWriMo and I'm devoted to that!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Just find a way something you wrote for NaNoWriMo that week relates to the idol topic, VOILA! :D

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

I didn't get laid?! I feel cheated!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

You were one of the married ones :D

I'm sure if you weren't, you would have totally had man floozies all up in your grill. :D

[millysdaughter.livejournal.com]

THAT was what went wrong with my Idol season last year--it never got **ME** any of those bennies!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Bennies? I just looked it up in urbandictionary and it seems to mean tourists?

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm doing Idol this season too (first time).

I enjoy your cock picture too! Haha...

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I have some other pictures of my cock in a cactus... talk about alarming!

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

You know you love the cock. :D

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Hi and glad you are participating again this year! Keep it light on the bees though will ya? hahaha

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hahaha it looks like as of late I've moved into saltier themes.

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

But which four?

(Fun fact: during most of Idol last season I thought you were a fake account.)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Silly!!

Did you see my mistaken identity entry about just that (being mistaken for being fake) ?

[kabandra.livejournal.com]

Fine you convinced me to participate too.

:P

Good luck!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo! :D

[lotjeisgraaf.livejournal.com]

This isn't at all Idol related, but I'm also traveling in November/December. Want to compare itineraries and see if there's overlap?
I will be in England, Belgium, France, Spain (Barcelona, Alicante, Gibraltar and Canaries), Portugal (Madeira), the Bahamas and Florida.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look like overlap, I'll be in Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Egypt and then New York. (:

I look forward to hearing about your adventures!

[nefariousvirus.livejournal.com]

You still need to come down to San Diego and party hahaha
but I guess after the trip :P

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah I for sure do. Remember to let me know when something particularly epic is going down! (:

I have a picture of a rooster that I use for my msn messsenger pic from time to time.. Was kind of a joke because my wife said 'wouldnt it be funny if you put a picture of a cock on messenger" and so I googled roosters and once in a while there is a picture of a cock as my msn profile pic!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

The cock jokes never get old :D

[tamaraland.livejournal.com]

Professionally, that picture is pretty scary.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

That poster is too funny!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Thanks. (: After I saw whirled's original I just had to ask (/whine/finagle/puppy-dog-eyes) her to make mee poster(s). And she did, because she is made of awesome. (:
