Happy Awesome Day!

I'm one of many librarians who uses Facebook both personally and professionally. Many students have joined my 'friends' list--I have 378 at Penn State now(!)--and one of the side effects of this is that I'm constantly being asked to add applications, join groups, and attend events with people I've met once in class or at locations I've never heard of.  Most of the time, I have to admit I delete these invites before I've even read them.  There are just too friggin' many!  I'm trying to save myself from the Facebook fatigue the Ellysa talked about not too long ago.

But today, I had an event invitation that made me look twice because it brought a giant smile to my face. It was an invitation to celebrate the fact that it's Awesome Day. Ya, sorry bout that link.  Apparently it's a VERY new day known to an exclusive group of people (at least until now), as that's the only relevant (?) match that appeared in my Google search results.

Anyhow, here's the invite:

"For those of you who don't know the 19th of every month, has been proclaimed for nearly a year now as "Awesome day". This is a day devoted to having a fucking awesome time no matter whats going on. You can celebrate any way you like, but there is one thing all must follow, if you see anyone who is feeling down/sad/pissed/angry/lonely/etc. then you must approach them, give them an energized and hearty high five, and wish them a motherfucking happy awesome day!!!(complete with exclamation). So yeah."

Ah, the fun of college! BTW, this event has 7,016 confirmed guests, its creation originated in Georgia, and it takes place all day every 19th "EVERYWHERE" in case you're interested.

So from me to you, have a mf happy awesome day!!!!! "So yeah." I will be heartily giving and accepting high fives all day :)
