[s]Green[/s] Red Room Holiday Party!

[aggienaut]

   It's that time of year again, time for the Emo-snal Green Room Holiday Party Emo-snal Red Room Holiday Party! You see, Idolists will be familiar with the LJ Idol "Green Room" (apparently named in reference to something on some obscure television show), wherein people just sort of hang out and comment to one another idly and eat fictional cookies.
   Well this entry is Like That. Just hang out and comment to one another and enjoy the fictional cookies (gingerbread, in all kinds of strange shapes!). But it also is apparently nothing at all Like That, because as we learned last year the LJI green room is a sacred and holy place and taking its name in vain will result in a dramapocalypse. Well I don't agree that it's better to throw no party at all, but let's be clear, this is a "wildly unofficial totally unendorsed nothing-to-do-with-lj-idol greenroom-like Holiday Party," just like last year.

There will of course be glögg, and also hot apple cider. gratefuladdict is in charge of warm apple pies and whirled is in charge of strategic placement of mistletoe. And there will once again be a rousing game of "pin the wreath on clauderainsrm"

Feel free to bring your own cookies and/or other holiday accessories!

Edit: ruaalien2 has taken charge of the whipped cream, uhoh!

Edit 2: Cookies from cookie_chef!

Yay for warm apple pie:)

[nyyhoneybee.livejournal.com]

It needs ice cream

[nyyhoneybee.livejournal.com]

Can I be in charge of the whip cream? Pretty please? ;)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Officially noted! :D

Showing my 7 years of working in television here, but....

"Green Room" (apparently named in reference to something on some obscure television show)

It's actually just a room (used to be painted green I guess), where the guests of a TV show sit and wait for their time to be on set. This is usually after hair and makeup and is just a space to relax, have a snack, chit chat with other guests, and watch the taping of the show when they're not on the set.

It's also the place where savvy audio techs will turn on microphones to do sound checks because the guests aren't "trying" to sound correct. Which makes for some interesting eavesdropping when you're sitting in the control room. Which is also why anyone who is ever going to be on TV is told to consider any microphone they have on them or near them as "hot" or turned on.

Please pass me some hot apple cider. :)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was actually in drama in high school (shh don't tell anyone!) so I was already familiar with what a green room was, but I thought I'd feign a little more unfamiliarity with "American Idol" just for the sake of it. :D

Apple cider is always good...

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Since I gave up caffiene during my sailing adventure, after some experiments with caffiene free herbal tea I ended up mostly drinking hot apple cider. Mmm. It tastes great in a mug while you're standing bow watch on the front of a ship that's crashing through waves!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Because you horde all the imaginary snacks and don't share? :D

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

When I was heavily involved in theater the green room was where we'd hang out before we had to go on stage--rather than waiting in the wings for an hour. So I pretty much laugh at the thought of someone claiming proprietary rights on it. :p

Hanging out at the parentals tonight. Reading and relaxing before my travels tomorrow. Hello to everyone! Hope you're all fabulous.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Where are you traveling?

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Just popping in to say hello and hope everyone is enjoying whatever you celebrate! And if you don't celebrate, pick some randome thing and go for it!

[nyyhoneybee.livejournal.com]

*waves hi*

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I spent the whole day IN THE CAR. Ew. Just got in. Am sleepy from sitting down all day! Seven hours for what should be a four and a half hour trip not so good.

[nyyhoneybee.livejournal.com]

Sorry :( that sucks

[nyyhoneybee.livejournal.com]

*squirts random whipped cream in the air*

[lostin-thestars.livejournal.com]

I've got the pumpkin pie!! Who wants some?!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Mmm I heart pumpkin pie

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

*waves shyly from the corner of the room*

sorry I can't stay and visit. But I'm trying to finish something I put aside for the holidays, so...

I brought some of the Jaffa Cakes I got for Christmas if anyone is interested though.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Jaffa cakes?

O_o

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

You know I am totally good for cookies, right? I mean that should go without saying. *mingles about*

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Cookie chef? I never would have guessed! :D

Do you have a special signature cookie?

[cookie-chef.livejournal.com]

All I can manage on short notice:

Cookies!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I posted that picture to the entry itself, hope you don't mind. (:

[morlith.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I brought S'mores!

I hope everyone is staying warm!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

S'mores! Which reminds me I forgot to mention there is of course a fire crackling fitfully in the fireplace (:

[kabandra.livejournal.com]

Green room is the waiting room for guests before shows at most news/tv stations :P

It's not some obscure tv show ref :P

Unless you were being sarcastic, if so, shame on me...woops

[kabandra.livejournal.com]

I brought spiked eggnog.

in case anyone was wondering what jaffa cakes were

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

Re: in case anyone was wondering what jaffa cakes were

[cookie-chef.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm....very interesting. Can't say that I've had one before. *plucks a jaffa from the platter*

Re: fashionably late!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Interesting! I just realized, via your comment, that I've been picturing holly when thinking of mistletoe ALL THIS TIME! Lord knows what kssing misshaps may have resulted!!!

[malruniel11.livejournal.com]

*passes around soft iced ginger cookies, hidden mint truffle kiss cookies, and molasses crinkles*

^ these are to share, but the eggnog is all mine!

So what was everyone's favorite part of the holiday break?

[cookie-chef.livejournal.com]

Loving the ginger cookies. Thank you.

So what was everyone's favorite part of the holiday break?

Re: ho ho ho

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Those cookies look delicious. :)

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

I just noticed I'm supposed to be passing around my warm apple pie...

Oh wait.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

[bozotkutya.livejournal.com]

I seem to be a bit late...anyway

Hi everyone! *waves*

I brought some home-made eggnog and Bailey's/Caroline's-type coffee liquor (also home-made)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. one of these days I need to visit you! (:

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

I have been here the whole time. Passed out under the couch. Who put this missiletoe on me and how did they manage to stick it where they stuck it?

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Yeah so I guess I'm really late and nothing is left for me :( Christmas really sucked this year lol
