First, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my last post--I haven't finished replying to everyone but all your comments and ideas made me feel better (and by "feel better" I mean "stop hyperventilating for 10 minutes").
Life still sucks (I called to have my cable disconnected today D':) but I want to make it clear I've never not been aware that I'm still very lucky and privileged in many ways. Overall I'm healthy. I have food. I don't have any kids to support. I have a support system of people who love me and will make sure I have a roof over my head.
I'm not in Haiti.
Needless to say, I can't afford to donate any money myself (I had to steal pennies from the Take a Penny/Leave a Penny tray the other day to pay for toilet paper kk?) but I have plenty of time on my hands (did I mention no more cable???) so I'm pimping myself out for the cause over at the amazing
help_haiti community.
I have two auctions you can bid on:
I am offering 100-500 word ficlets
HERE in the Lightning Round, and
I'M ON A SHIP...TO HAITI. For the highest bidder, I will custom-write for you the lyrics to one (1) parody filk, similar to I'm On A Ship. (Other examples
HERE.) I'll throw in some goodies like accompanying picspam, icon, gif, or vid (PRO TIP: the more you donate, the more you get 8D) Bidding starts at $10.
So if you can afford to donate, and have ever wanted the opportunity to make my brain your bitch, GO BID NOW. DO IT DO IT DO IT.
Also, I know
ontd_startrek is also doing a MAJORLY epic job of raising funds for Haiti and are well on the way to raising over $10,000 (!!!) and even got ZQ in on it, so if you have even more money to spare go donate through them as well!! YOU CAN RAISE MONEY JUST BY COMMENTING ON THE PARTY POST SWEET JESUS HOW EASY IS THAT??
ETA: I YANKED OUT MY CREDIT CARD AND DONATED $20.10 TO THE ABOVE. IN HOPES OF IMPROVING MY KARMA FOR 2010. IF I'M GOING TO FUCK UP MY CREDIT CARDS AT LEAST LET IT BE FOR A GOOD CAUSE AMIRITE?
ETA2:
ontd_startrek has already raised over $10,500!! In 48 HOURS. Seriously, our comm never stops being amazing <33333
