Will You Be Mine?
This week's LJ Idol is continuing the Intersection Theme, and so I find myself yet again in the uncomfortable position of seeking a partner.
What sucks (and everyone keeps saying it) is that it feels like junior high all over again. There are the "popular kids" who generate massive votes and get snapped up in no time flat. Then there are the folks like me, who may have been middle vote-getters in the beginning, but now the bottom of the list has crept up on my butt and I feel it breathing down my neck.
Don't get me wrong, I actually like doing the collaborative writing. I'm a big one for brainstorming and bouncing ideas around and coming up with the most creative outcome possible. It's the finding a partner that is trouble for me.
Rejection sucks, yo. And I've had a lot of it these past two weeks.
And I'm beginning to feel out of my element. Of the remaining contestants, there are a wide variety of styles and approaches to this whole concept. I feel like everyone is really good, but I don't know if I fit in with the bulk of the current contestants. I feel like a I showed up at a party with Wilde, Shaw, Byron and Keats and I have NO IDEA what anyone is talking about, and some conversations I don't want to know.
I set my goal to make the top 50. I don't know if i'll make it, but it sure seems to be closing in!
