A website worth sharing

I'm sure many of you have heard of the FML website. Lord knows I see enough people use the expression. Well, some people -- one of whom is Emerson, founder of MuggleNet, for my fellow Harry Potter nerds -- got tired of only having a place to post the negative in this world.

So they created GMH.

GMH stands for Gives Me Hope. People sign in and post stories of true-life experiences they have had which remind them about the good that still exists in this world. Have the tissues handy.

monthly meme

Suppose I might as well.

Post the first sentence of the first post each month of the past year.

January: Well, NYE turned out to be pretty much exactly what I predicted.

February: I'm pretty tired of being taken for granted.

March: Sorry for the bit of wangst in which I was indulging last night.

April: Happy birthday, phrygianmind!

May: Just when I was starting to think maybe everything was going to go away quietly, or at least stay quiet enough that I could stop being stressed, I get an email from the brat.

June: Pastor just informed me that we made around $2,000 at Saturday's yard sale.

July: Three-day weekend.

August: After a deceptively mild July, this past week we're suddenly getting slammed with humidity and thunderstorms like crazy.

September: I realize I haven't posted since my mini picspam after the camping trip.

October: Apparently I voiced my thoughts on Roman Polanski publicly by mistake, because when I woke up this morning I had comments from total strangers about my opinion.

November: Officially caught a cold yesterday, which is why very little got done today; I spent a lot of this afternoon resting.

December: I officially lost NaNo, having only accomplished 14,000 words by yesterday.

Wow, I'm kind of boring.
