Oh, how charitable!
30DBC - 7th Jan - Prompt: WDC is a home to many charitable groups and organizations geared toward helping other members. Take a quick look around WDC and tell us about one you're familiar with (maybe you even run a contest or activity that donates to one of these groups). On Saturday afternoon, I'll roll the Virtual Dice to select the winner out of all eligible entries to receive five raffle tickets for "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. ...where both you and your selected group each will have a chance at winning 10,000 Gift Points. Good luck, and thanks for spreading the word about groups your fellow challengers might not have been aware of!


Wow! That's a hell of a lot of words for a prompt. Geez... it's like a blog post all by itself.

*Up* Hmm I actually wrote that sentence last night. Had I have finished the post, I'd have been up to date, post wise. Then I could have fluttered around making comments aaaand ... hey presto, on course to be in the running to win (hahaha as if) 30DBC. However, day 7 is now late. The whole of the first week is late! Damn it!! That's quite a few points lost. Bah.
Oh, just to note Fivesixer Author Icon, *ahem* the fact that I'm discussing making comments on others' blog posts, means there is no need to disqualify me. Deal? *Laugh* I'll have commented my ass off by this afternoon, promise. Not that I want an easy ride, but you got my back, right? *Rolling*

So, the prompt... again, I'm not sure how to answer this one. I'm certainly not aiming to win (or, even, be entered into) the virtual dice roll thingy. Why? Because I'm not actually going to just talk about ONE charitable group. I can't. If you know me, you'll probably understand why.

I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but I guess you could call me a bit of a WDC philanthropist. Yes, I come up with the most crazy ideas - Some work REALLY well, some kinda work, and some just flop. I've come to realise that the crazier the idea is, the more likely it is to work.
There are SO many amazing groups on here, most of which I haven't done anything for. But I will.

One of my biggest achievements on here, I think, is raising about 6million GPs in two days just by sending one email to 20 random people. That kinda blew my mind. Most of those GPs are yet to go where they are due to go. A lot paid for two Golden Hand Trophies for SM & SMs, 30 MBs for Phoebe and Jack, these little beauties:

The rest is due to be sent out as "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. prizes. Then the remainder is going to two charity groups. I thought for months about who they should go to... I've finally decided. Hopefully, If my maths is right (*FacePalm*) they are due to get a million each. But I'm not telling who they are *Heart*

My "Coffee Shop DiscussionsOpen in new Window. gives out GPs every so often. But now I do this:

The point is, I try and support everyone I can. Many people find a group and stick to just supporting them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, take it from me, it is probably a darn sight easier than what I do. But, I just like to spread the love *Heart*

While writing this, I've realised how much stuff I need to update and give out etc. Cheers for that.
Not only that, but I've been toying with one of my crazy game ideas for sometime now... I've kinda worked out how I can turn it from a good idea to a genius idea. This prompt helped with that. I SO want to get started now. But I really do need to update other stuff before starting on that. You'll love it though *Heart*
I also have amazing ideas for poetry corner too, for which this was made:

I will also do some actual writing at some point *Headbang*


I probably haven't really answered today's prompt. But, meh, interpretation is key, right!?

Right now, I have the house to myself! Woop *Delight* This is BIG. When you have surgery, you're never left alone! *Laugh* But now, I have approximately 4 hours to myself!! *BigSmile* So here's what's about to happen:

*Right* I'm going to post this
*Right* I'm going to post a quick update on my notebook
*Right* I'll then take a look at today's 30DBC prompt, then either:
         *FlowerY* I will write my response to said prompt & do all my commenting straight away, like a good girl. OR;
         *Ornament1V* I will leave that until a bit later, put some music on and do some journalling and reading.

Oh, what will it be... *Laugh* ...
