Goodness my life does seem to keep blowing up on me. Well...I'm on break now. So expect a few posts in the next few weeks. I need to set up a regular schedule for this. (look for that in my resolutions post next week)
Today I am in the middle of something super important. The Project for Awesome.
For those of you who are not aware/haven't seen my spam on Facebook/are on the internet but generally live under a rock...the Project for Awesome is an annual event put on by Hank and John Green (the vlogbrothers) where people post videos about many different charities on youtube. The videos are then submitted to www.projectforawesome.com and the general public votes for their favorites. The top videos then get a portion of the money that is raised during the Project for Awesome. Also included is an Indiegogo campaign where John and Hank and many other Youtubers have different perks you can donate money to get (things like signed posters, books, personalized items and tons of things) and this money goes to the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck, the official name of the organization raising the money. In the meantime, there is a 48-hour long livestream happening (still happening as I write this!) featuring John, Hank, and many other people. Highlights from this year's livestream involve John covering his face in sharpie, John shooting silly string at his face, Wil Wheaton covering his face in googly eyes, and Hank posing as a John Green bobble head.
Basically it's a few days of pure awesome.
And it's a few days where I am reminded exactly how awesome this online community really is.
As of this second, the campaign has raised $640, 224. And that total is raising every minute. It's insane...in the best way possible.
I love this community so much. I am so proud to be a nerdfighter during P4A.
If you have some time, check it out.
Clearly, no one here has forgotten to be awesome :)
