Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Lightbulb!

Lightbulb!

I've got a great idea!!

Everybody on this thread can post a holiday they made up. Then, we'll actually pick days to celebrate those holidays with threads on the Chatterbox!

So who's with me?

We need a Harry Potter holiday. Maybe on July 31, the birthday of HP *and* JKR?

@ ZNZ: YES! Let's celebrate the end of July by radiating even more HP-obsession than usual (while gloating over being more productive than JKR!), in lieu of NaNo's end-of-the-month events! And if I don't finish, I will forbid myself from celebrating! Which will be motivating, and give me something to do when I feel the urge to procrastinate—plan—and this will make me feel guilty and afraid of not finishing, so my overall time spent procrastinating will be less! In other words, I'm eager to do this, partly because it sounds fun and partly because I somehow expect it to boost my word count.

@Ima: YES! On July thirtieth we will let ourselves be as obsessive as we want, doing all kinds of crazy HP things, IF -- and only if -- we finish our JulNos on time. *high five* I, for one, plan to listen to MuggleCasts that day, (Do you listen to it? You really should -- it's awesome.), especially the just-released one which I will not let myself listen to until I finish my JulNo. 

It really does help to give yourself incentives like that, I find. Like, no going online until I finish today's word count goal. And sometimes I use chocolate. :D

July thirty-first, I meant. Sorry. *is ashamed at forgetting HP and JKR's birthday*

AWESOME idea CJ! :D

Well, I think that August 12th should be National Chatterbox Day, because after searching through loads of old threads, I'm pretty sure that is the day most of the old-timers (including me.) first posted. :) What does everybuggy else think???

Cool Idea!

Ooh, I've got one... August 6th should be Thread Revival Day. Celebrate by going to the bottom and reviving the last thread!
