A Little Cup of Cyanide

So, Day of Blogs. Hmm... I don't like the name. Oh well. The real reason for this post isn't to complain about the name, but to give a bit of an update. Apparently everyone will be keeping track of their own pledges. That's OK with me. I'm just a little bit lazy in th whole organization area. But as far as I can see, it's as simple as collecting everyone's e-mails and sending the donation link when everything is done.

Which brings me to my charity for this year. I've decided this year it will be To Write Love On Her Arms. While I'm not exactly fond of the religious connotations that seem to be pushing, I can overlook it since the charity itself is a good cause. The best way to sum up the purpose of this charity, I think, is taken from the FAQ on the official website:

Q.What is To Write Love on Her Arms?

A. TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

Now, here's where all the lovely people reading this blog come in. The only way to make this Day of Blogs work is if people are willing to donate. Every dollar counts, and it's a single donation for the whole day, not by the hour. Since we're tracking our own pledges this year, you can just send me an e-mail at mercurysunshine@gmail.com or post a comment on this post with your name and how much you'll be donating. Then when Day of Blogs is over, I'll send you a link to the donate page.
