I’ve been working for Wolfstar this week, and yesterday Amy Johnston made a comment about how everything I’d written so far has been really ‘angry’.
Last night, this negative thought process continued continued, as I went to bed pretty angry, and generally just annoyed, having had an argument debate about Northern Rock and the recession. One thing that irritates me is my flatmate telling me that “I need to learn to form an opinon” (which is what happened last night). It’s not that I can’t form an opinion, I just like to have my say, and it gets on my nerves when my opinion is considered irrelevant in a debate, because my ‘opponent’ considers their ‘opinions’ to be fact, and therefore not to be reasoned with.
And so, this morning Amy’s comment got me thinking, and I realised I should maybe write something positive.
Here it is..
Last night (before our arguement debate), I watched the Comic Relief Mt Kilamanjaro Climb documentary yesterday, and it left me feeling really happy. The fact that these celebrities had given up their time and put in a hell of a lot of effort (6 months worth of training) is pretty inspirational. I was really happy that they made it to the summit all in one piece, and what made me even happier, was that they beat the sceptics.
Apparently challenging yourself to raise money for charity is subject to some amount of criticism. It was a challenge for all of them, and for those who said that Cheryl wouldn’t do it, are you kidding – she’s from Newcastle, shes made of tougher stuff than you think! Chris Moyles (who I love anyway), was also my particular hero – he trained his backside off and it paid off.
And from a PR perspective, the £1.5million (of which £1 is mine) is a pretty good result from simple WOM and twittering (the climb was twittered direct from the mountain to report on the groups progress).
Well done guys.
