Thinking and doing.
Jan. 14th, 2010 01:42 pmToday is More Joy Day, but since I don't have the time/resources to offer drabbles like I usually do, let me send you out there for good things instead.
help_haiti is a fannish community auctioning off stuff to raise money for Haiti. Send your money to your preferred relief organisation and receive something in return. Because I am a sheep, I've put two posts up:
Crocheted things. Toys, scarf, hat, blanket, whatever you want (within reason!)
Story!. At least 1500 words. You request, I write.
And because my geekdom knows no bounds, I went through the "Something Interesting" offers and made up a spreadsheet for them, which I'm keeping up to date. Please could someone click this link for me and let me know if it works? The fanfic post now has 19 pages, so if you want it, you can probably have it, but I'm not brave enough to try to index that!
Full details about the charities and the auctions can be found at the comm.
If that isn't your thing, and just in case you haven't seen the gazillion posts
In the US, donate $10 to the American Red Cross by texting HAITI to 90999.
My own charity of choice is Medicins sans Frontiers who are already there and working.
Here in the UK, there's also the Disasters Emergency Committee which coordinates aid to various agencies, and OXFAM, who will also be in there for the long-haul, along with lots and lots of others.
The above makes me sound mature and organised. To a certain extent this is true. Yesterday, I was the most senior person in the library for a whole 3 hours, and I didn't break anything. I spend tens of thousands of pounds of the library's money and have access to the accounting software. I had a meeting this morning with sales reps from book companies and actually knew what I was talking about.
Fortunately, before I could get too carried away with my new-found maturity, I looked down to find I have toothpaste on my trousers.
IDEK.
Other things I will be doing today, will be watching things go up at
festivids. Vids are still something I find strange and mysterious, so I'm looking forward to exploring some new stuff.
I also want to put together a post of some of the crochet things I've made recently, since I'm actually getting the hang of it at last, and it's so much fun!
How are y'all doing? Holding it together out there? I'm hanging on for the weekend, personally, although sadly that's because I have a desperate urge to tidy/sort/clean our flat. Maybe this maturity thing is getting to me after all...
