Random act of kindness
OK, I'm starting something.
Why? Because I'm feeling generous this year, and random, and I want to see if I can actually start something. I'm going to give a Christmas gift to someone on my blogroll randomly. And I encourage others to do the same. So, I numbered my blogroll (There are exactly 50 blogs under the heading "Remember what Sartre said about other people?" How wierd is that?), and then I headed over to The Random Number Generator. I told it to select 10 numbers between 1 and 50. The first few blogs that the number generator choose didn't have wishlists. (I'm kind of glad that I don't have to send something to OhLaLaParis, since that would be shipping overseas; and I bet the boys at Wayward Puppy are kicking themselves that they didn't ask random strangers for kindness; and my friend Carrie is already going to get a Christmas gift, so I ignored it when her number came up.) But the power of Randomness is great, and eventually I found a wishlist. I choose the first item which I thought was a reasonable price, and sent it. Paid for gift-wrapping and everything. Who was the lucky blogger? Well, I'm not going to reveal that. Let's see if the person comes forward. Merry Christmas, boys and girls. |
