LJI S9.0, Introduction

[muchtooarrogant]

When confronted with the necessity of writing an introduction about yourself, do you ever think, "H'm, which version of me should I describe?"

That was what my personal muse suggested after I read Gary's week zero topic.

Personal Muse: You know, most people are probably just going to produce something drab and unexciting based around that old

This made me laugh aloud. Bickering with your muse seems to be a common trait amongst writers. Very nicely done. Really enjoyed your post. :)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes you really can't tell if the craziest sounding ideas might actually work until you give them a whirl, but then there are the times when you do try for a bit and say, "This is insane! Why did you tell me to do that?" Or, maybe that's just me. LOL

That was nice. This dialogue made me smile and made me think about my personal muse and the things it sometimes brings to my mind.

[muchtooarrogant]

Thank you. Yeah, you gotta watch those muse critters. Sometimes their ideas are just whacked!

Absolutely love what you did here, a brilliant idea and a very witty, amusing piece :).

If it doesn't hurt too much to answer, I ask with the curious trepidation of a first time LJ-idoler still slightly wondering what I've let myself in for: what happened in season 8?

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you liked it.

Nah, there's no pain left. *grin* During LJI, Gary can decree several different methods for entries to accumulate votes, and, of course, for bottom performers to be eliminated. The most common one is by allowing a mass vote, where you, your family, your friends, and anyone else you can rope into it are allowed to vote for your entry. At other times, only subscribed members of the group can vote, and occasionally only current contestants can vote. During week twenty of season eight, Gary set up a round of what he called Gatekeepers, a group of people he had assembled, who would decide who moved forward and who didn't. My entry was Y2K, and A Civil Campaign.

The funny thing about Idol is, often the entries that you slave over the longest and love the best don't do as well in the competition. Still, however far you get, I think you'll love the experience. It's an amazing ride. :)

Thanks for explaining, I am as excited as I am scared about all these twists, but yeah it sounds like a lot of fun :)

I've noticed that and about regular posts on my journal. The ones I put the most work into get the least amount of attention.

I enjoyed your introduction.

Gary is evil. I can see the winners of introductions being given a special power. He loves to keep everyone on their toes.

[muchtooarrogant]

Hahaha, a special introductory power for winners in the zero week? Yes, you're correct, that'd be right up Gary's alley.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting, and I'm glad you liked my introduction.

I have three versions of me, and I have more fun with the two online identities than the one RL person. ;-)

[muchtooarrogant]

LOL Yeah, the online personalities can be a lot of fun, just so long as they don't get too out of control and make the r/l one completely disappear.

Thanks for reading and commenting.
