Pulling through the old swinging gate, rusty metal still flecked with paint, you smile wistfully behind your windshield.

This is delightful! You fully immersed me in the allegory. I am brand new to LiveJournal and Idol, but the sweet busted details made me just as nostalgic as the protagonist. Those shoes fit so snugly. I am thoroughly enthralled by your barker's well-wrought descriptions. Thank you for your lovely words about my writing. Thank you for this lovely tale. Thank you for being a part of the strange and delicious journey.

How fun! You've distilled the very essence of what Idol is all about and turned it into a metaphor for actually doing it! I wonder if those who have never actively participated realize just how accurate this is! It's certainly been quite an eventful day at the Carnival, and I'm glad you were there to share it.

A fine analogy! Idol can be such a crazy carnival ride!
