It took me almost 2 years and 4 months to give 10,000 cheers. I had to print screen this to have a record of the first time I gave my 10,000th cheer because if anyone deletes their account I might have to give it again.

Cheering is one of the things I like the most about 43 Things, but I do feel kind of mixed about it. I like it because it’s a quick way to express interest in what someone wrote or to show support for what they’re working on. I often find myself reading stuff on other forums and blogs looking for that “cheer” button and not finding it but wishing it was there. I also find cheering convenient because I feel uncomfortable leaving comments unless I can contribute something original or meaningful to the discussion, or sometimes someone else can just say something a lot better than I can but I still want to express support. Maybe, though, I’ll make an effort to write more comments because it is more personal. I will say that I don’t cheer anything unless I’ve first read it and understood it.

Anyway, though she hasn’t been around much recently I gave my 10,000th cheer to melissa... just because… :)

cheers – and counting:)

The cheers just slip thru my fingers.

Today I am only up to 6043 cheers given. Why? I think it has a lot to do with people whom I cheered either closing their accounts and/or deleted a goal or post. The other day, just a week ago, I had 12 cheers available which I gave away, yet I’m no where near achieving this goal any time soon.

And rather then setting my goal to 7000 cheers I think it is time to set my sights a little higher and be more aggressive by making it 10,000 cheers next.

I thought I would be giving out cheer 10,000 this morning. I was about bestow that landmark cheer on a certain special someone and the nine in the hundreds place turned itself into an eight.

The 10000th cheer went to Cluricaune, on his comment for darling Didem. :)

And I’ll list the five next ones, too!
10001st went to Hauki. 10002nd went to Laura. 10003rd went to Juho. 10004th went to Ru. And 10005th went to Maxime.
Let’s keep on rolling~!

Now, where the heck are all of my cheers again!
Seems like they’ve been slightly scarce lately.
