...Yes, that is currently my life, thanks to Mr. Johnny G. Weir himself...

...and I couldn't be happier about it. :)

Yesterday, in the midst of our final push to log the most Twitter votes ever recorded in the history of humankind as we head into the final 48 hours of the NewNowNext awards voting, we also launched our biggest fan project ever: "Ride for Life," uniting Johnny fan groups from around the world in support of AIDS/LifeCycle.

And we proved that, as far as multitasking crazy people go, we are among the world's finest.

Within 45 minutes after the announcement was made on Johnny's Facebook page, we had received almost $500 in donations from fans.

Within less than 12 hours, that number had shot up to $1,500.

And in that same timeframe, we also managed to tweet #realityWEIR more than 2,300 times; post the "Ride for Life" announcement on dozens of Facebook pages; alert media outlets, including Greg in Hollywood, Outsports, and Perez Hilton; continue voting directly on the NewNowNext website; and persuade friends we haven't seen since kindergarten to vote for Johnny as USFSA Figure Skater of the Year because we've run out of our own .gmail addresses to use.

So once again, I say: WE ROCK!!

And I wish I spoke more languages so I could find a million different ways to say that, because we are simply amazing (which, because I type hastily, and my fingers as well as some of my keys on my keyboard tend to stick, often comes out as "amaxing." And that also works, in my opinion, as in, "We are a-maxin' out this votin' and donatin' and pimpin' thing right up to the very tippy-top of Johnny's ever-lovin' pompadour, darlin'," which also offers some insight into how often I chat with Michael Mazzella).

Although I think I can best translate "We rock!" into Weirlandian, in which it comes out as: "We are strong fierce free bitches, baby, and we totes have that shiznit covered!"

Which, BTW, is a gender-neutral statement and also quite complimentary here in Weirlandia.

So here are today's action items:

Vote-donate-tweet-post-pimp-repeat. Please do whichever of those activities works best for you. Not everyone is in a position to donate in these difficult times, so we'll all just do whatever we can, and everything will work together for the good of the project! And please know that every vote, every tweet, every penny, every posting of the AIDS/LifeCycle link, every pimping effort, is very, very much appreciated.

Please remember to vote in the "Name Rider X" survey! You can vote as many times as you like. And thank you to all who have voted already--we've gotten some really fabulous write-in suggestions! The survey closes tonight at midnight, and then the project leaders will present the top choices to Rider X so she can help in choosing a name that best represents Johnny and his fans in this humanitarian cause.

Oh, and hey: Check out what the Ride for Life website looks like in Russian! So cool. Thanks to Facebook fan Tatiana Edrenkina for translating. More languages coming soon!

OK. No more time to write. Gotta get back to my groove, people!
