39: And in the end . . .
- Posted by Cara on July 27th, 2008 filed in day of blogs
“Was it worth it?,” the Day of Blogs prompt asks.
Well, it was exhausting, that’s for sure. Getting something up every 30 minutes while trying to write somewhat legitimate posts is difficult as hell. Especially when I’m used to taking at least an hour to write a post that length. At least. Really, it’s tough. Particularly when you factor in the need for basic bodily functions like eating, using the bathroom and blinking. You should try it sometime. But I’m proud that I was able to do what I did. I was actually somewhat surprised at how mentally draining this was, and with that in mind I’m pleased that I accomplished so much and managed to write a substantial amount of quality material.
But was it worth it? Well, assuming that my sponsors don’t get pissed the fuck off at me, absolutely yes! The sidebar says that I’ve raised $394. I’ve also got a $50 echeck donation pending that won’t show up on the meter until it clears. That means a total of $444 was raised for RAINN today. $444! Not bad for something I decided to do on a whim this Monday and was worried would fail miserably. Not bad at all when I set my original goal at $200. You wonderful people smashed that, and you rule! [And just in case someone who wanted to donate didn't get the chance, I'm leaving the "event" open through Monday.]
Thanks so much also to everyone who stopped by to read and comment, especially those of you who stuck around for a while, including James who I just got to know today, and especially especially Anna (psst, the title of the post is a Beatles reference) who has been keeping me company for hours.
Love you folks. Now I’m going to bed.

*hug* Sleep well, Cara. You did great!
It should also please you to know that my friend Tatterpunk is taking over chastising me duties. Something to do with hairsyles and moptops and German bars.

On behalf of RAINN, I wanted to extend our sincere thanks to you for participating in this year’s Day of Blogs. By raising awareness and money about RAINN, you helped to provide crucial services to victims of sexual assault, educate the public about this vital issue, and prosecute those responsible for this heinous crime. Thank you so much for all of your effort!
