Since post-mortems are my specialty and I’m in a dark room with the brightness on my laptop turned down because I have migraine-triggered vertigo (which is why I’m not at work), here’s my take.

The Good

• Having an excuse to love up my laptop for 24 hours.
• Meeting new and interesting people via being a site monitor
• The impromptu 3 a.m. dancing of the Timewarp!Â? (I actually got people to do it with me this time!)
• “Alphabytizing” Lutheranism in my cynical hippie Lutheran way
• Having a good supply of Coke in the house at my disposal.Â? (I don’t allow soda in the house unless I’m sick.)
• Having cheerleaders online
• Reading some of the more *interesting* things people were doing
• IRC chat in which I figured out a new martial arts move

The Bad

• Being up for 27.5 hours straight.
• My vain attempts at being social at church the next morning
• Black alarm cats sitting on lower abdomens and kneading them to wake their mommies up
• Having to re-start my laptop because it was so flipping hot that it overheated

The Sponsor Me

• I can take sponsorships until tomorrow (Tuesday morning) so if you’d like to sponsor me and haven’t, get thee to my sponsorship page!

(Yes, I am ripping this entry idea off from Dreama. She’ll get over it.)

T-minus one week (and slightly less in hours and minutes) until the Blogathon starts at 7:00 am MDT! I’m blogging for Lutheran World Relief and I’d appreciate if all y’all could do the following:

• Come visit me. 🙂 Yeah, my Blogathon site is separate from this domain (mostly because people found this blog last year as a result of the Blogathon blog) and I’d love if y’all would come and see what I have to say. I’ll probably put a redirect up on this site so that you’re forced to come to the site (yes… I’m evil that way) but I’d love to have you surf on over anyway. I’ll be updating every half hour for 24 hours and could use some cheerleaders. 🙂
• Sponsor me!!!!!!!! I currently have $50 raised and I’m trying to at least hit my total from last year of $310. I’m blogging for a super cool organization that does amazing work all over the world in the areas of disaster relief, advocacy for economic fair trade, AIDS education, and hunger relief. There are also *lovely* sponsoring incentives.
• Tell all the world about my blogging campaign! Link my blogathon site on your blog (that’s http://blogathon.peacefulwaters.org, not grace-filled.net) and let anyone who is remotely interesting (and also interested) know about it!!!!!

OK… enough pimping of my cause. There will be a lovely signature at the bottom of all posts for the next week so you’ll be reminded of it. 🙂
