I hang my head in shame

Today was National Donut Day in America. National Donut Day.  A day to celebrate donuts.  70th year of celebrating it....

And I had no idea.  None.  Whatsoever.  I'm so ashamed.

Such an important foodstuff deserves its own day. But then again, so does chocolate, and ice cream and coffee and ....

... What about peppermint tea? I like peppermint tea!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm... not sure it deserves it's own day though- what about tea in general?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

... agreed. but strawberries get their own day! as do rasberries. please?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ooh "Very Merry Berry Day!" What do you think?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That's good, yeah.

... What about other food? Steak? Apples? Pie? Milkshakes? There could be a Fruity Friday!

hmmm, if we keep this up there'll be something to celebrate every day of the year

although, come to think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad thing....

There's nothing wrong with celebrating every day of the year. On the other hand, the celebration might lose it's status of being something special. That would be sad.

hmmm, now that is a very good point

[chatona.livejournal.com]

There should be no more than three days of celebration a week, I think *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*nods* yes, yes *takes notes* and...

... Think there should be a fiction day, too? And a fanart day? And a "happy fandom day"?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh I love the idea of "Happy Fandom Day"

I've been vaguely considering trying to get a "Fanfic Appreciation Day" or something like that going, where the idea is you go back to a favorite story, something you've recommended or read over and over and leave a note to the author telling them that.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That's an absolutely awesome idea. It shold totally be done.

I was thinking about it the other day when I was reading something for the zillionth time. I'd never left a comment becausr it was posted ages ago and then I started thinking, that's dumb, who cares when it was posted if the LJ is still active, wouldn't the author love to know how much the story is still enjoyed?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I know that, though. I think a lot of people do that; not commenting because the story was written ages ago. But your point is very much true *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

or even if you commented when it was first put up, if you've come back tons of times since then, wouldn't that be nice to tell the author too?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

It totally would be! It would be really fantastic!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It would be so cool to encourage people to do that, not in any sort of "do it on X day" thing necessarily, but like as a challenge- go make an author or vidders day sort of thing...

Leave a comment, brighten someone's day.

something like that
