Weekly Vote & Drama-que!

[emo_snal]

   It's that time of the week! LJ Idol polls are up, and that means its also time for my weekly drama-que (polls will be closed already by our usual time of Sat morning). So throw some OMG-weiners and WTF-burgers on the grill, crack open a nice cold can of STFU and pull up a chair!

So who do you have to screw to get a recommendation here? LOL

I think it's important to note that actually a "noble" (I don't know this person so I cannot comment on their true intentions) cause backfired last week. The post before it was edited either had a comment or an icon asking people to vote for brightflashes and against rm, but only when said person realised how badly this reflected on brightflashes and how it put her in an uncomfortable spot, did they ask everyone to vote for everyone BUT rmThat said - it's Idol. To give an example: Belgium once sent a girl who couldn't sing 2 straight notes after one another to the European Song Festival (which is nothing more than a kitsch gathering where neighbouring countries vote for each other) ... the only reason said "singer" made it through the televoting was because a) the audience of the TV show was pretty low and b) she had called upon her church community to vote for her

Haha thats funny about the European Song Festival malarkey. She must have "posted the polls" in her church. ;D

[agirlnamedluna]

LOL well that's exactly what she did :P

That actually kind of occured to me as a potential LJ Idol "trick" someone might be doing -- if they lived in dorms or something where there were a number of other people with LJs about they could post a reminded to vote on some kind of physical bulletin board IRL and we'd have no way of figuring it out! O=

[agirlnamedluna]

LOL but really, would you do that in front of everyone? I sure don't want anyone IRL to know, but that's mostly because I keep my journal pretty hidden.

Blogshame

True true! Thats why everyone at work doesn't know I have a blog. In fact, I was frightened the gig was up when IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE NEWSPAPER (the OC Weekly thing), but none of them reacted, and I honestly think its because they don't know what a blog IS.

And of course I haven't let a peep out about LJ Idol in the lj my real friends know about. (=

LOL yeah I would really not be happy if family or IRL friends found this blog. I briefly had (well still have) a blogger, then wordpress blog in Dutch but some asshole extreme right politician gave out my real name on his blog because I hurt his feelings with a post so yeah. Now my real name is all over the net (doesn't help I share my name with a Belgian diplomat hah) but I'd rather not connect it to LJ lol

[emo_snal]

Also (in re recs and constructive criticism), your paragraphs were too long :D

[agirlnamedluna]

Hopefully it will go through this time ...

I really should make it a point to write/post earlier (if I survive another week that is) because things like this are interesting ... I actually thought they were on the shortish side and didn't want to start a new one every other phrase.

[emo_snal]

Incidently I was just thinking I really ought to read people's entries earlier (I usually wait till the poll is posted so I can just read and vote at the same time) so that my feedback can actually be useful. (=

[agirlnamedluna]

Yeah but if I write with half an hour to spare on the deadline ... you could be speedwriter supreme and still not have enough time :P

[emo_snal]

Haha daaamn you cut it close (=

[agirlnamedluna]

Well I totally worded that wrong - what I wanted to say is that you had no bad intentions towards brightflashes when you posted it, I did realise you didn't particularly care much for rm - but while it could be perceived that at the same time you were trying to shine a negative light on brightflashes, it was not your intent at all.
