Hello, nice to meet you!
I take you're a fan of Gnomes too, given the picture?

Good luck in the contest!

Gnomes

[emo_snal]

And here you said in your intro you weren't good at saying hi! (=

I think gnomes are neat in general, but if by Gnomes you mean a specific multimedia occurance of them I'm not familiar with it. I just pulled this picture off the net after considering various other monsters I found err I mean took my own picture just this moment! (=

Re: Gnomes

[quoting_mungo]

I'm not! It's all malicious lies! Cake lies, I tell you!

I was talking about this book (was also made into a cartoon movie which is a pain and a half to get a hold of nowadays because rights aren't quite clear), it's a really beautiful piece of work and if you get a chance you should check it out.

Re: Gnomes

[emo_snal]

Ah no I'm not familiar with that book but it sounds interesting.

Gnomes are neat but if I turn my head ninety degrees I have "A Time for Trolls" on my bookshelf, which is of course a book of Norse myths and folktales about trolls.

*grin* I look forward to reading more of you... welcome aboard!

Re: welcome aboard!

[emo_snal]

Thanks! (=

[crowblood_heart]

....either I'm incredibly dense or you're obscenely creative, maybe both are true.

It didn't even occur to me that this was an introduction until I reread it and saw the title (obviously I'm always on the lookout for weird memes, though I'm not fond of the 'take-a-picture' variety).

Nice to meet you and this was an eye-opener of an intro. I like your style, even though it's not exactly my cup of tea.

Cups of Tea

[emo_snal]

Hahaha thanks.

I'm always interested in constructive criticism, what exactly about it isn't your cup of tea?

Re: Cups of Tea

[crowblood_heart]

to be honest, it's more me than you with what i don't like (whee bad break-upline usage). I think it's mostly that I have a hard time recognizing humor over the net. [Amazingly I can still find more positives than negatives!]

+ covers everything
+ well-organized
+creative/unorthodox method
-like i said not fond of meme format, though I admit it's creative
- took me a while to get the end picture and caption (i blame the fact that i can't connect separate objects as related generally speaking)

Re: Cups of Tea

[emo_snal]

Yeah I hate memes too but the idea to post the troll was too funny to pass up, and then it occured to me it would be a great lead-in to an intro.

And I dunno _I_ think the sun looks totally like a nuclear mushroomm cloud in the picture, but no one has commented positively on that so I may be the only one on that. (=

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!!

actually ljidol is nothing like american idol, except that people vote and the people with the lowest votes are eliminated.

the green room refers to the backstage room people wait before going out on stage (could be tv or theater).

:)

Green Room

[emo_snal]

And in the context of LJ Idol the green room is ... official entries set aside for discussion in the comments instead of links to submissions?

Re: Green Room

[kittenboo]

in lj idol the green room is simply a name given to posts where contestants can talk to each other, discuss their day, what entries they like, what's going on in their life. it's just discussion in general, a way to socialize and meet people.

there is usually a green room every day, although not always on weekends.

[finding_helena]

I've never watched American Idol either, and don't intend to.

I sort of envy you for going to UCD. Davis is my late hometown (well, in a vague sense) and I've spent just enough time hanging around there to think it's super-cool! I wish I lived in an area that was more conducive to biking. Le sigh.

Beekeeping... awesome!

Good luck in the contest.

Davis

[emo_snal]

Yeah Davis is really delightful. After five years there for college I was like "I need to get out!!" but I'm already thinking of moving back. I could run a few hundred hives in a field on the outskirts of town...
