Final reminder

cleolindaAll right, last call for the Eowyn (Not Eowyn)/hardcover book auction. It'll end in about an hour.
To tell you the truth, I'm going to spend the proceeds a little differently than I had originally planned (completely on Secret Life dolls)--my mother's birthday is next week, and I'd like to get her something really nice. And I want to give to the Australian Red Cross, but I don't know how much, because every time I try to settle on a number, it's like, But these people have lost everything. You think about it and you want to give them everything you've got that isn't nailed down. But I'm to a point where I think I'll give one amount from the auction and then, when I finish the Cursed Annotations, give a larger amount from that. It's just mentally more manageable that way. So by the time you take out eBay and PayPal fees, we're probably looking at one small Secret Life addition (if that makes a difference to you when bidding). But even with just one, exciting developments are in store, I think.
ETA: Sold!

Date: 2009-02-16 03:17 am (UTC)Yeah, I know what you mean. The good news is that the Australian dollar corresponds to more than one US dollars, so the exchange rate helps too.

Eowyn's so pretty. I'd love to add her to my Legolas and Aragorn figures (I think Aragorn is about that size. Legolas is a mini-Legolas, but still oh so hot. ;))
I am reading the Sookie Stackhouse books and was thinking of all the writing you could do with those dolls...

Date: 2009-02-16 07:43 am (UTC)I only had $7 in my bank account, but I gave $5 even though it didn't seem like much. According to a friend, though, "It would be $7.65AUD and that would buy three loaves of bread to feed the homeless or supply two families with a tube of toothpaste each or buy four bottles of water or a football so the displaced kids have something to do. So yeah every little bit helps."
On an entirely different note: I know you at least know about PotterFicWeekly, although I'm not sure if you have an account. I'm going to be directing MasterFic Theatre 4: Naked Quidditch Match if you'd like to participate! http://www.potterficforum.com/index.php?topic=4321.0

Date: 2009-02-16 11:55 pm (UTC)I'm an Aussie, and while i'm not from Victoria I do have friends there who have lost everything.
So i just needed to come out of lurkdom to say dont worry about not donating enough, every little bit will help so much more than you'll ever know!!
And also thankyou for thinking of us, the support from around the world has just been amazing!
