This Is My Life

If the voting on LJ Idol ends as it stands now, I'll be out.

I'm not begging, but I am pleading. If you haven't had a chance to go vote for me, please do so. I've enjoyed the competition, felt that it's stretched my writing chops past where I thought they ended, and generally want to continue.

I'd like to be able to say I made it to the top 50. If I make it to the top 50 I'll stop asking for votes. That's a promise.

Voting ends at 7pm Monday.

I really poured all my writing ability into this week's LJ Idol story, and from all the positive comments I've received I'd have to say it was worth it. I'm quite proud of the entry.

That said, if you liked it, I hope you can take a moment to go to the poll and vote to keep me in the competition!

The deadline is Noon on Tuesday the 23rd.

Thank you!

1) If you would vote for me, I would appreciate it. However, I'm not too concerned either way, so if you've got other stuff to do, feel free to skip this. To see which entry you're voting on, come to my LJ and scroll down a little; I haven't been updating much lately due to other stuff.

2) Sick day today. Curling up on the couch with the dogs, and I don't plan on doing anything else, except maybe letting said dogs outside once in a while. I'll be fine, just have a headache and achy body. The two chronic pain things I've got going on are both acting up today. Wonderful.

3) Recently, my friend Brett asked what I'm going to do now that LARP USA is out of business. It's a good question, and I just don't know the answer. I'm trying to consolidate my 1,001 ideas into two or three goals, and finding it harder than I thought. I know I want to learn Arabic, master the language, and maybe be a translator, but that's a long-term thing instead of a crazy idea. I like crazy ideas, and need one to follow.

So, do you have a crazy idea you think I should follow? Become a rock star? A movie star? Maybe I should go back to being an art model, full time? Should I open a wacky-yet-needed web business like zombie survival kits? How about if I open a restaurant? I've seen people on Kitchen Nightmares; I don't know if I'd make it as a business, but I'd do better than them!

Hit me with your ideas. I need a muse!

Hey folks, guess what!

It's the end of the week!

That means that it's voting time again! I've moved up a group though, and you can find me in group 4, with such notables as ewok_626, so you know I need all the votes that I can get!

This contest is definitely fun, and a good chance to stretch my writing chops. I look forward to continuing in the competition!
