Hey y'all! So, here's the thing. As some of you already know, Adam Lambert (of AI and AI fandom fame) has put forth a challenge to his fans. He asked them to contribute to Donors Choose in his name, to support education for the arts.
The challenge opened on August 20th, and thus far, several fangroups, including
ontd_ai_gives, have raised over $92,000. Yeah. Almost $100,000 in just over two weeks. Which is amazing, oh my god.
There's a project here: Jammin' Djembe Drums, which has been languishing, unfunded, since March. It expires today, and they need another $238 to meet the goal. The drum purchased would teach these children in Arkansas about music, about other cultures, and the sheer awesometasticness that is drumming.
I'd really really love to see this project get funded. There's about 8 hours left, but I'm flat out sure that it can be done. ontd_ai picked this project up, and they've been working miracles these days. That said, they surely could use some help. If you've got a buck, five bucks, ten bucks, think about contributing? I put $25 of the money my dad sent me for my birthday towards this, and count it as a great way to spend it. I'm hoping that some of y'all will too. :D
ETA: or, you know, if you want to give, you can go here and pick a project, since that one was funded in like, twenty minutes. O.o!!!

okay, let's play a game:
I need 50 words. any word you like, something you like saying, something you like writing, your favorite color, the adjective you use to describe your hair (awesome, in my case), whatever.
I'm maybe trying to do one of those x number of icons, on x number of themes post, if this works, so anything you want to throw at me would be awesome!

I know what you're all thinking, and no, you're not hallucinating. I really am posting icons, and no, it actually isn't time for
This isn't a lot, y'all, but these kids go through life without anything. Almost everyone overlooks them, forgets that they exist. They live off of donations - food, clothing, everything they own, for the most part. Could you imagine never wearing anything new, including being dressed in second-hand underwear?
So yeah. I'm running a donation drive to buy Panties for Everyone! (except where boxers are more appropriate, of course.) You can read more about it here, if you want to, and if you're so moved, you can either donate there or click the shiny button below. Since the 4th, we've collected $2,631 and change, but I'd love love love to have $3,000 when donations close on the 20th. Even if all you can donate is $5.00, believe me, that will be a help - the vast majority of the donations received has been in amounts of less than $25.00
I really appreciate the good fortune I've had in my life, and the people who have extended a helping hand to me, I'm so very grateful to have the chance to pass that along to others who are in less fortunate circumstances, and I'm utterly stunned at how many people have helped me to do that. I'd love it if I could count a few of you in on this project - either through donations, or if you could link to the Panties for Everyone! project - and I thank you so very much in advance.
Peace,
Bunny

donation, please email me at bunnymcfoo at gmail dot com)

I don't even care if y'all credit these, just please don't alter them.
So I voted yesterday, thanks to Washington's lovely vote-by-mail system.
One guess who I'm hoping and praying will be the next President of the United States.
I'm about to head over to the local Obama campaign headquarters and see if they can use me in any way.
If you're as nervous as I am, as full of terrible hope, please -
see if you can spare a couple of hours and volunteer.
Hey y'all! I know, long time no update. Don't think I haven't been making icons, I've just been hoarding them for 14 Valentines. Hee! I may very well end up being that insane chick who only posts the first 14 days of February, but if that's the case, there's gonna be well over 1,000 icons going up in those 14 days.
That being said, I'm currently offfering an icon-pack up for bidding at
livelongnmarry. The starting bid is $2, and that'll get you 50 icons, on the subjects of your choosing, made exclusively for you. Bid here!
Bidding runs now through the 15th of July, and I sincerely hope to see some of you over there. :D
Cheers!
Bunny
EDIT: um. O__O Um, nevermind? I've been bought. <3 Seriously, I'm boggled. If I do this again, I'll let y'all know.

For those of you wondering what the theme is, I'd like to introduce you to Miss Katie Kay: tribal belly dancer, designer, model, and the tour manager for the Dresden Dolls (she also toured with Panic at the Disco on the Nothing Rhymes With Circus tour). I happen to think she's insanely beautiful, and don't you think it was time that some belly dance icons showed up here anyway? *grin*
