My Goodness

As of this afternoon I still have more than 400 people to add to the NaBloPoMo links list. My god, do you people know what you’re signing up for? Thirty days of anxiety, that’s what. However, blessings be upon your heads, there are more prizes being offered! The singular Mason herself is offering both a copy of her book and a t-shirt with a four-letter word on it. Actually, it has three four-letter words on it, only one of which will make your grandma hit you with a spoon. And Deb of 60 bugs is offering a hand-embroidered tee. I have two of her t-shirts and I can vouch for their durability and exceeding craftiness. So post every day and you’ll be entered to win! Void where prohibited; may contain traces of nuts.

Truth be told, I am feeling precariously close to unable to dig out from under this mountain of Internet and Actual Work I’m so behind on, and I am thinking of hiring an intern. A George, if you will. Actually, I think I’d have more fun with a Robert.

    I SO just bought Maggie Mason’s book in preparation for next month, ha! And I just realized that “next month” starts on Wednesday. Eek!

  2. Matthew says:

    Sign me up! I already bought Maggie’s book and I’m ready to go!

    *gulp*

  3. FlippyO says:

    I just wanted to thank you for setting this up. I know it’s turned into a pain in the ass – a fun pain in the ass, but a pain nonetheless. Anyway, I appreciate what you’ve done…and what you’ll continue having to do.

    (p.s. And I’m super happy about “Other” being added to your comment options)

  4. Ree says:

    Just left it down below, too…I’d like to kick in a prize if you need one. I’ve got a $75 Borders card rotting in my junk drawer.

    as to interns, well, take two, they’re small…

  6. margalit says:

    I tried to find Maggie’s book and it was gone from every freaking bookstore around. Even the library copy was gone with 5 reserves on it. Hopeless. I guess when you live in a blogging town, you have to be a bit more on the ball than I currently am.

  7. Ms. Karen says:

    Hmmm, I had a Robert once… it was fun, but I don’t recall anyone getting any work done.

  8. Big Orange says:

    I wanna be on the list, too! How the hell do I sign up? I’ve already generated a list o’ topics and a few Official Seals, I’m takin’ this so damned seriously…

    Actually, there’s another side to this whole NaBloPoMo thing: READING everyone ELSES blogcakes! This could turn into a major undertaking! I wonder if we can all get a sebatical (sp?) from work to just write and read all month

  9. Apostol says:

    I swear to Gawd, I’m ready to tell that company they can’t have me…I’m NaBloPoMo-ing!

  10. angie says:

    I also bought the book…I hope it gets here next week! *glee*

    I can’t wait to read her ideas…and steal them.

  11. k says:

    I’m a loon, and am adding my second blog to the list…

    http://thewifewithin.com

    time to get that baby up and running.

  12. meno says:

    I refuse to give in to the anxiety. Until i wake up at 2 in the morning on Nov 1st and wonder what the hell i’ve let myself in for.
    And yes, thank you for doing all the work to set this up. I think it will be mucho fun.

  13. Kizz says:

    A Robert will do less work but will come equipped with better drugs. Delightful choice. I’d die happy after being the meat in a George & Robert sandwich!

  14. Sarah Reed says:

    Can you sign me up for the event, too?? My blog is attached to this blogger account:

    So, umm… I want to be on the NABLOPOMO list, and I think I already e-mailed you… But I am a mom — and that means I have very little short-term memory functionality, so I cannot be sure of almost anything… If I am not already on your list of people to add, please add me… Thanks!

  17. Boo says:

    If you know people who are interested in writing plays…
    I started naplwrimo !!!!
    http://www.naplwrimo.org

    There are 12 of us who are going to be writing plays so far !
    The site is under contruction a little but pass it along and tell people to leave me comments if they want to write plays !!!

    Happy blogging to you !

  18. I must be crazy. I must hate myself. I’m going to do it. Please add me to the NABLOPOMO participants.

    Thirty days of anxiety is right. Just yesterday I realized, holy hell, 30 DAYS IN A ROW means WEEKENDS, too. Crikey.

  25. Fran Sky says:

    I bet you’re totally tired from all your work with NaBloPoMo. So I’m guessing that my blog just hasn’t made it to the list yet. But just incase here’s my blog as I’d love to participate.

    Sweet!

  28. Jennifer says:

    so are there any rules? like posts have to include text (not just a pix post) or anything else like that?

  29. threeforme says:

    I am SO excited about November – and hey! In 1 hour and 45 minutes it will be the 1st. In Aussie time anyway – and you KNOW we have a head start on ya’ll…..

    Many thanks dear.

  32. Sara says:

    I’m no George or Robert, but I’m unemployed and I type really fast. Do you need some help?

    I will be out for a few hours, but I’m on the east coast, so maybe that won’t matter to you. Drop me a line at sara at saraarts dot com if you need someone to just plug URLs into your list today or something equally mindless and delegable.

    Cheers!

  33. jamelah says:

    I would’ve signed up sooner, but I just read about it today. Anyway, since I’m all about making rash decisions, my site is

    http://www.jamelah.net

    And it is cleverly titled, uh, jamelah.net

    Cheers.

  34. I don’t know if you are looking for more prizes or anything, but I would be willing to donate something from The Body Shop or Lia Sophia.

    If you are all filled up don’t worry. I’m sure at this point you are thinking the less links you have to add the better.

  35. Leah says:

    Well, fine. Sign me up. I can’t say no to the possibility of prizes.

    Damn you, M. Kennedy. Daaamn yooou!

    Alright, sign me up. I’m already a failed NaNoWriMo-er. Made it to 12,216 words in 2004 and haven’t touched my “book” since.

    I can’t do any worse as a NaNoBloPoMo-er.

  38. Kimberly says:

    OK, I’m not going to try, I’m going to do it.

    Please sign me up. And thanks for doing all this work that you didn’t know you were taking on.

  39. Andie D. says:

    Whoooooo hoooo! I just read through the ever growing list of fellow blog masochists and am proud to see I’m in such good company.

    Really though, I’d do anything for one of those t-shirts.

  40. Hi!

    Sign me up.

    I maybe be flipping back and forth between

    http://www.mynameiskate.ca
    and
    http://mynameiskate.typepad.com/at_home

    Is that allowed??

    Cheers .. Kate

  41. Katie says:

    I’m mostly sure that I already gave you my URL. Are you going to remove participants as they notify you that they’ve missed a day? That would be tons of work for you, but it would be fun. Or will you just wait for the end of the month and ask for who posted every day?

  42. Wow. I’d rather blog every day than have to list and track over 400 blogs! Suddenly, this just looks a whole lot easier!

  43. I signed up on the other list, but since you’ve added people who signed up after me, I think I just got skipped over somehow. The weird thing is that there’s an empty space, for no apparent reason, on your list right where my blog’s name would go. So possibly I am on the list, but invisibly. And if I miss any days next month, I am totally going to say that they’re there, but you can’t see them.

    Dude, that handkerchief? Has so many sequined aliens on it that the winner will FREAK OUT and think she’s being probed the whole time it’s in her pocket.

    Forgive my assumption that the winner(s) will be female. I guess I’m just a ringer. At LIFE.

  54. Hsien Lei says:

    Oh my goodness! I’m sorry I emailed you again being a pest about NaBloPoMo. I had no idea you had 400 people still to add!! Wow. Way to go. :)

  55. Roonie says:

    We bloggers are nutty folk.

  56. Nia says:

    Well this gets more and more exciting by the day!

    I’ve already emailed with a request to be added to the list but in case I mistyped my url -because the woman who loses important documents as much as I do is capable of anything – here it is again…

    Agent of Distraction (http://ooohshiny.typepad.com/based_on_a_true_story/)

    Also I’d be willing to contribute some prizes to people

    1)a scrapbook of gratuitous and ridiculous celebrity gossip (or as a present for the organizers in case that sort of thing helps you unwind from the monser you’ve created)

    2)An A4 print of a photograph

    3) A free tarot reading

    Hi,
    I know that you are super busy with 400 names. I just received a message that my email to you on Friday was undeliverable. I would still like to be part of NaBloPoMo

    My site address is

    Oh man, I hate to do this too, but just in case you didn’t get our emails either…
    Me, (J) blog.inlucesco.com
    Brooke, http://www.positivelysomewhere.com

    We both wanted to sign up.

    Please don’t kill me if you did get our emails and just haven’t added us. I’m a history major and we like overzealous documentation of everything.

  63. Nothing like last minute. Can’t find the email address to send the entry to, so could you please add me to the list?

    Thanks…and here we go!

  64. J says:

    I hate to do this….I e-mailed my info and posted it on the comments…and I’m sure you still have a lot to add….but I just want to make sure you got my info. I really want to participate!

    Thank you!!

  65. Amethyst says:

    Hello. It does sound as if you have a ton to do. I think I might have typo-ed the name of my site when I sent it to you (what a thing to do!!) You already have it linked on you list as Subdied Intrinsic. It should be Subdued Intrinsic. When you’ve gotten rested up from everything else and had a little time to yourself would you mind changing it? I’d really appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Amethyst

    P.S. Remembered to do my blog today, whoo!
