Sending Dawn to Antarctica
If there’s anything that I love about blogging, it’s the possibility of a connection.
And no, not just for me.
Did you know that two different couples have met in the comments section of this blog, and dated for a bit? I mean, people with NO prior association, and I had nothing to do with it – I didn’t even know it was happening until it was happening.
So, if nothing else, let that be a lesson to you: comment on blogs – you never know whose internet eye you’re going to catch with your wit and thumbnail picture.
Then again, you could wind up like me – just the ring-leading moron.
Anyway, she might be someone I have never met face-to-face. But people, Dawn is a Hootenannie reader – she is ONE OF US – and she is trying to get to Antarctica. I love her passion and enthusiasm for a place that so many of us think of as totally barren; this passion has led her to enter a contest in which the grand prize is a trip to the polar regions.
But she needs your votes!
Click here to vote for Dawn – to support someone you didn’t even know you were connected to – and help her dream come true. It will cost you nothing. And honestly (I’m channeling Ira Glass here), what kind of a person do you want to be? Someone who sits back assuming that someone else will do it for you – or a person of ACTION?
I might be putting words in her mouth now, but I am telling you that if you vote for her, she will bring you back a baby penguin.

i just spent some time browsing the expedition site and i’m drooling. now, i want to go. vote for me! (i’m not for the voting of course…you’ll just have to vote for me in your heart.) i voted for dawn on the site and in my heart. that’s two votes for her! :)
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting me!!!!!! You don’t know how much this means to me! I know that this dream seems so far fetched (penguins and extreme ice… what?), but there’s simply nothing else for me to do than go for it. If I fail to take this chance I’ll only be left wondering… what if?
So, thank you so much!!!!
Attempting to live life with no regrets,
Dawn
Yes Annie, you are a Ring-Leading Moron (what ever). I think it’s both awesome and hilarious that people meat and date in your blog. This means that you are becoming an institution (a cool one).
I love Antarctica! I’ll certainly vote for Dawn. Heck, Dawn for President!!
Go Dawn go — I voted!
Annie – you’re an amazing ring-leader! Could you or Dawn send me a baby penguin? Or….alternatively some nice 40+ guy here in the Seattle area? Greta – I don’t think the 70+ guy qualifies for me, so don’t go there OK?
:)
I voted for Dawn, now I want the freaking baby penguin.
Dawn, I don’t know who you are (besides reading the little thing you wrote on the website) but I voted for you and I say you kick the pants off this contest.
PS. I’m single, 25, really cool, and I live in Chicago. Fellas?
I’m going to Antarctica too:) Not now, right now I’m raising my baby penguin Claire. But some day. Mark my words AP, mark my words. Africa first, though, will be continent number 6 for me. Then on to the nether regions.
Okay, that sounds really amazing. I voted for you and I so hope you win!
