Ain't too proud to blog

This is not the blog you are looking for

2006-01-01T01:09:25-05:00

Oh no. It go. It gone. Bye-bye. "Ain't to proud to blog" is no more. You can find me blogging at Shutterblog now.

But as to not leave you empty-handed, here's a quick rewind of old Tampa-tantrumy goodness - entry originally posted on 12.27.2002 (go here to see the comments posted to this former entry):

And that's the way it was

Last year I ripped off Mena's idea for a yearly "top 10 - best of". But last year I had 745 entries to choose from. This year, I had 1855. So the "top 10" is actually being bumped up to a "top 25" for 2002 instead. One to grow on...plus fourteen...

25. Getting to see Weezer in concert. Because it wouldn't really be my blog if I didn't plug Rivers Cuomo, now would it?

24. Becoming the #1 Robyn in Google. I finally dethroned Robyn Hitchcock, a musician I love. And there was much rejoicing.

23. I rarely discuss politics here. This time, I did.

22. I caused way too many people to quote this episode that week.

21. Hard to believe the Olympics were less than a year ago, huh?

20. Accepting the inevitable -- I can't be a mother. Not right now anyway.

19. A quick breakdown of the differences between The Queen™ and The Princess™.

18. The man I love turned 30 this year.

17. Yes, I love Grease 2 -- and I'm not ashamed to admit it! So there.

16. The Crimson Pride. What "Sooner Magic" means to me.

15. I's had all's I can stands, and I's can't stands no more.

14. And you just thought I was strange before now...a list of my food neuroses.

13. When people I love are under attack, I go out on the attack.

12. A recent entry about the so-called glamorous life of a disabled person.

11. They're not fat. They're festively plump.

10. Cat got your tongue? Don't be shy! Speak up and say "hi"...

9. Watch out! Hell yeaaaaaaahhhh.

8. Dear daddy, I write you in spite of years of silence.

7. Feed my wife, please!

6. The annual texass bitchslap. Why? Because we're better than you.

5. I'm not handicapped. I'm handi-capable!

4. And we laughed at the world... They can have their diamonds -- and we'll have our pearls. I kissed a girl.

3. Sometimes blogging really is the best form of therapy available.

2. My first blogiversary -- blogaritas for everyone!

And my number one blog entry for 2002*...

1. A little story about what makes my life worth living.

This was the wrap-up for 2002. If you enjoyed what you saw, you can hop back to the wrap-up for 2001, the "100 meme", and the old archives (2001, 2002, 2003). The search feature is still functional as well. Have fun kids!

More, more, MORE for 2004!

2004-09-23T18:03:19-05:00

Shutterblog has details for the upcoming third annual 2004 Blogger Boobie-Thon. The 2004 event will kick off on October 1st and run through October 10th. Stay tuned for more details...

Hi Robyn,

SELF magazine would like to recognize you (and your Boobiethon) in the February issue for being a promoter of positive body image in women. In addition to raising money for a good cause, your charity sends the message that you don't have to have a porn star body to be proud of it.

I'd like to get a few quotes from you on body image for the story.

<snip of list of interview questions>

That should do it. If you'd prefer to discuss this over the phone, please give me at call at <snip of phone number>. Otherwise, I'll look for an email from you in the next day or two.

Thanks and congrats,

Erin Bried
Sr. Staff Writer
SELF magazine

Wow! That's great! I really wish I could have participated this year too. It was great fun last time. At least I made it on a button! :)
(Kymberlie R. McGuire on Oct 22, 2003 4:25 PM)

That is awesome. I am a longtime SELF subscriber so I will be looking for you in Feb. 2004. WOW can you imagine how BIG next year will be... I need to set a calender reminder to take pics in Sept to be ready to send as soon as you open the site... I thought I would be a middle of the month entry... but wow the turn out and The shorten time. (seeing visions of Robyn on Good Morning America, and the other morning shows.. cool) I'd rather flash than run... thanks for what you do. Hope you are well.
(Aurora on Oct 22, 2003 5:07 PM)

YAHOOTIE! Congrats, Robyn! Just imagine...Nate's first Boobiethon!
(Kevin on Oct 22, 2003 5:58 PM)

Wow!! Congratulations Robyn! :D I should have participated this year.. look for me next year!
(Brandy on Oct 23, 2003 3:29 AM)

Yes!! That's so awesome!!! Congratulations! And February... how appropriate... OK... can't type, crying...
(Zuly on Oct 25, 2003 2:03 PM)

GREAT JOB!!! I hope this helps raise money and awareness!
(Heidi on Oct 27, 2003 6:40 PM)

Congratulations on an amazing fund raising effort. I thank you on behalf of my wife who is currently undergoing chemo after a radical mastectomy in July. My own site, Once again with feeling,is about our families experience dealing with breast cancer. With luck sites like yours and the money you raise will have a hand in preventing other families from going through the same thing.
(bernicky on Oct 27, 2003 7:11 PM)

I know this was posted a month ago, but I have to say congrats to you! I'll be sure to buy the issue to see your name in print once again!

Congrats on the kickass amount raised, if I had some extra loot I woulda tossed it over. :(

Boobie-Thon has already raised enough in sixteen hours (~~$375.00~~ $685.00) to fully fund the "bloggers helping bloggers" portion of the donations ($359.00). Everything raised from this point on will be going directly to Susan G. Komen.

Thanks to everyone who's helped with photos, linkage, and donations -- let's keep it going through the month of October!

I think it's great you have raised so much. I was on the BoobieThon page and left it on the computer screen and had walked away to do something. Ken sat down and from the other room I heard, "BOOBIES!" lol
(Linh on Oct 8, 2003 8:55 PM)

Let's get ready to ruuuuumble

2003-09-30T23:15:53-05:00

I've had quite a few TrackBack pings this evening, so I thought "what the hey" and took the first round of photos submitted in the Boobie-Thon live about 45 minutes early. Don't forget...we also have a passworded pay-per-boobie site (with photos) already set up for donors of $50.00 or more! So what you see isn't all of what you (might) get.

If you've been putting off submitting your photo, now's the time to quit procrastinating. Just send them to: boobiethon@tampatantrum.com

Well, it's certainly the most unusual charity drive I've seen in a while...
(Book Review on Oct 1, 2003 3:46 PM)

It's like this, and like that, and like this, and uh...

2003-09-29T17:33:56-05:00

Elvis has left the building. Whoops.

By the way, getting this blog back on topic, I've been asked just what kind of "rack shots" are acceptable for this year's Boobie-Thon... Basically, anything goes. Only covered boobies (hands, props, food items, bras, etc.) will go on the main photos page. But just like last year, there will be a separate, passworded "pay-per-boobie" page for bare-breasts -- available to donors of $50.00 or more. And yes, we already have bare-breast photos submitted. Also, guys are more than welcome to submit their racks as well. We had 'em last year, and we'll gladly take 'em this year. E-mail photos here. The first batch of pics goes live on 10/1! Don't be tardy.

UPDATE: It has been suggested that females not use "man hands" to cover up their naughty bits. Just a suggestion...use it as you will...

UPDATE 2: Don't forget...you can get "creative" with your photo entries... Last year we had wet t-shirt style pics, creative use of food products, pretty things to unwrap, and even a little festivity. Use your imaginations!

Boobie-Thon needed RSS feeds, so they have been added. More details at the main site.

Also, the site will be pinging weblogs.com and Blogrolling.com when it updates, so please feel free to Blogroll it.
