Foot in my mouth disease.

Okay. So.

As part of my ongoing efforts to improve the quality of all that exists around me, I've registered for the 2007 CN Tower Climb for the World Wildlife Fund - all proceeds going to the fight against (dun dun dunnn) GLOBAL WARMING!

I sent my dad an e-mail from my WWF account asking for a pledge and if he could get me in touch with relatives on whom I could push my agenda. Part of the message tactfully read:

If you could do me a favour and hook me up with the e-mails of people who might like to sponsor me (ie. Kara, Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Jeff the SUV lover... and Uncle Martin who practically HAS to sponsor me, he's the Tree Guy after all :-) and anyone else you can think of) that would be superb!

And so, naturally, he forwarded my plea to the aforementioned hit list. I really should have seen this one coming.

Fantastic!

Well, I'm sure they'll find it in their hearts to forgive (read: sponsor) me. I am family, after all. ...It's just not exactly the proposition I had in mind.
