Unexpected
An entry for LJ Idol, Season 8, week 2: "Three little words."
Brown paper envelopes with no return address were never good news. He'd learned that much from the TV shows. Too bad they hadn't been quite so clear on what you'd find inside them.
(Or so he thought. He wasn't always so good with details.)

There have been times in my life when I've danced.

what is this I don't even.
I'm not even going to try to be cute about this. I...don't really have it in me anymore. Too much has happened to me in the last eight months. It's not that I've lost my sense of humor. I definitely haven't lost my sense of style. But at this point, I think I need to save the waxing poetic for the poetry ( Read more... ) -
Solitude
An entry for therealljidol week 22, "Token."Lily turned it over and over in her hand, this object that acquired its sacredness through what it meant to her, through the meaning she attached to it. It had been with her for years, long years, since before the tides changed and swept away the thing that had been anchoring her in this life, maybe in time altogether ( Read more... ) -
Shepherdess
An entry for therealljidol week 21, "Hyperbole (is literally Hitler)."The first time it happened, I was there in hope of a healing. The Lady's Vessel had just pronounced peace upon the coming end of Ti Galera's life, to great joy from that aged woman and her children. Two young ones long in one another's eye were now betrothed, and a weak little boy had been ( Read more... ) -
A little help
Hey therealljidol folks - I know we were all reeling from the poll results when we got blown to bits by the new topic. So we might be dealing with some ISD (Idol Stress Disorder).
Fortunately, it would seem that there's some help to be had in today's Green Room. To wit, the brilliant joeymichaels posted his interpretation of what the topic means, and clauderainsrm confirmed it ( Read more... ) -
Uninvited
An entry for therealljidol week 20, "Playing house."
Kiara dropped the basket onto the couch with a relieved sigh, blowing an errant lock of hair out of her eyes. The last load of laundry had just gone in the dryer, and the kitchen was reasonably clean. With Dan out of town, it promised to be a quiet Saturday, just her and Annie.
That pushed all thoughts of a ( Read more... ) -

Watching her
An entry for therealljidol topic 18: "Adored"It's 12:47 pm, and I haven't seen her yet. I wonder if I've missed her. She's usually here by 12:41, and almost never late anywhere she goes. I worry about her, though. Every once in a while she gets distracted, or is held up by some friend or another on her way to the student center, and I fret until she appears ( Read more... ) -
Week 17: Voting time!
So this week was rather a struggle for me in a variety of ways...but I'm still standing - and I managed to get my entry in for therealljidol!
There were a few absolute standouts for me this week, but I hope you'll have time to get through more (if you haven't already!).
alephz does a really nice job with "Chicago"-esque noir.
