inanis has been a rock-solid friend throughout this whole Destiny ordeal. She is ALWAYS there to talk to me, cheer me up, offer advice, etc. She donated a brand new kindle tablet during the beginning of Destiny's care. She has donated cash, including just the other day when she got a bonus from her job (you know... the one she complains about in WBY thread all the time). When times were the toughest, she raffled off her entire kb collection to really kick off an amazing push in the gofundme campaign that helped save Destiny's main mode of transportation.
I'd like to pay her back by getting her the board she should have gotten from the beginning... a HHKB. I wish I could just buy it for her myself, but I could use a little help.
A $5 donation will buy you happiness and the chance at the following:
1 x Booper MX Lilith Cap (has a tiny bubble on outside edge of stem... does not affect functionality or aesthetics)
2 x White Topre PBT Space Bar
1 x Tai Hao Dolch MX Set (from Harry's GB)
You may donate more than $5 and receive another entry.
I will be taking gift payments through PayPal, so PM me for my email addy and when you send, PLEASE put your GH username in the notes section.
I'll keep the OP updated with the names of the donors and amount of entries unless specifically requested otherwise. This way people will know exactly when we reach our funding goal and so y'all don't think I'm shady. Looking to just get the $220 + shipping. Type-S is unnecessary. :p
Thank you! And please thank this wonderful woman for being such an amazing member of GH!

I'm at a football game but I'm in. Can pay when I get home tonight.
Sounds good! I'm running out to get wyfe's migraine meds and grocery cravings, so I'll post when I get back.
inanis always puts others before herself. I think we may have broke her emo-style, though. She won't reply which color HHKB she wants. Haha.
EDIT: nickheller, a constant Destiny supporter, has just donated $15. You rock!

I've never met a more generous group of individuals in all my years. I sent a PM to Absyrd offering to pay the rest, but he ignored me. I don't know why I expected otherwise. I am surprised, humbled, a little embarassed, happy and probably like 50 other things by this. I will find a way to repay all of your kindness, I promise.

Since I donated the least, give preference to jd and nick! Other than that, I've never owned an artisan cap before so the Booper would be pretty sweet. Next would be the MX set then topre spacebars since I don't use topre. I'm happy with anything though.

I knew as a heavy typer like myself who always bottoms out that the soft feels of HHKB tactility and landing would be perfect. Never had a doubt you'd be instantly in love.

There was a noticeable difference in feel between a standard and Type-S for me. Definitely not a $100 difference, but it's a little better feeling.
