I went from 13 to to 22 in about an hour and my campaign for attention/entertainment was slowing down. As I walked past my friend and coworker's desk, I saw a note on her cube saying she was participating in the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
I decided to add a dash of beneficence to my utter nonsense. I also wanted to give a purpose to probably the least functional/interesting/understood features of any website ever. Seriously, WHAT IS A 'POKE'?!
So, I re-updated my status:
So, people got to 'pokin.' By the next morning, I had 108 'pokes' and happily made my donation for my friend's great cause. Also, it turns out people who aren't even your friend can 'poke' you! Weird/unsettling/awesome!
One of my amazing friends (who is a survivor himself) found it in his heart to not only 'poke' me for my cause, but also made a MATCHING DONATION!
This exercise in attention turned good cause was particularly special, because I reached my goal today which is also my mom's birthday! She battled breast cancer, herself in 2000. And later passed away from bone cancer in 2009. She was an amazing woman, wife, friend, and mother (even though she almost left me in a Wal-Mart).
So, thank you to everyone who 'poked' me and everyone involved with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I feel like Oprah, but not as obnoxious and with far less influence and fewer financial resources.
If you would like to also donate to my friend Samantha's participation in Susan G. Komen, please click here! Do it. Do it for boobies! For boobies that are big, small, different sizes, and even the ones that have awkward looking nipples... O.o
UPDATE: My friend has already pointed out that in all of my statuses, updates, etc. I spelled Komen 'KomAn." I swear I checked the spelling repeatedly on the website multiple times. I'm too retarded to see it and reproduce it correctly, but luckily not so retarded that I donated to the wrong cause. Apparently, koman.org is some sort of sailing festival website.
PS - It is interesting to find that out of my 600 ish friends I got about 90 'pokes.' (The push over the 100 came from friends of friends who helped with the campaign). So, it appears 5 our of 6 of my friends either hate boobies or have hidden me from their News Feeds LONG AGO. I'm fairly certain it was the latter.
