I Am Kind of a Big Deal (Confirmed!)
Published by JD February 4th, 2008 in I Am Kind of Awesome, I Give and Receive.
Hey, remember when I told y’all I was kind of a big deal? It turns out I wasn’t hallucinating after all.
Fuel My Blog, along with SnorgTees, rewarded me (and 99 other worthy bloggers) for placing in Fuel My Blog’s top 100 blogs. The reward? A T-shirt emblazoned with the confirmation of my big deal-ness.
While it might have been nice to get a shirt that says, “With a shirt like this, who needs pants?” I’m pretty happy with mine. So happy, in fact, that I’m having trouble doing the right thing by giving it to Fracas, who is solely responsible for my even being in the top 100. She voted for me every day—even before I knew about the competition. But wait! Fracas won the $500 top prize! She doesn’t need my stinkin’ T-shirt.
I can sense that some of you are still questioning whether I’m truly a big deal. I understand. Why should you believe a T-shirt? Don’t worry, tho, I can back up my claims. Two actual live people have written about I Do Things, and you know what they say: If it’s on the Internet, it must be true.
JohnC wrote a smashing review of I Do Things for the Fuel My Blog blog. Please read it here. There’s a reference to breasts!
And! Laurelight posted a nice little article about I Do Things and gave my site 4 bookmarks. Read it here.
JohnC raises a good point when he alludes to my healthy ego. Can anyone who blogs about themselves not be considered a little self-involved? I just hope you all realize: I’m doing this so you don’t have to! However, I don’t want to be seen as totally selfish, so the next few things I do will truly be for you:
- I’m going to look into that whole law of attraction thing so you don’t have to
- I will eat naught but donuts so you don’t have to
- I’ve developed a weird rash so you don’t have to
But, sorry, JohnC (and the millions of others who have asked): I will not do nude bowling (see item 3 above). You’re on your own with that one.
And so, in closing, if all this proves nothing else, it proves we are all kind of a big deal—even those of you who don’t blog about yourselves—EVEN those of you who don’t blog . . . at all! See, you don’t need to blog to be a big deal. I’ll do it so you don’t have to. After all, I’m kind of a big deal myself.
I’ve got the T-shirt to prove it.
JD, you are absolutely worthy of pronouncing to everyone your Big Deal-ness!!! Does JohnC know for sure you’d never do nude bowling and blog about it? If not for that rash, right?

You ARE a big deal… Good for you! (Oh and thank you in advance for the rash. SO glad I can skip that now.) I’m off now to go and read the glowing reviews of you…
Kathy: Yeah, the rash makes the whole nude bowling thing a bit awkward. As does the fact that I’m a terrible bowler. But I’m a helluva nudist!
Corrina: Thanks, Corrina! And you’re very welcome. I’m happy to take care of the whole rash thing. Someone’s gotta do it.

Congrats JD - well deserved.
That Fracas is a bit of an pyromaniac I suspect.
Well, GREAT! *NOW* I know where the t-shirt came from! It arrived the other day, and I had no friggin’ clue what it was about… The FMB thing was so long ago, I’d forgotten… heh

I also received such a shirt, my dear! We are both big deals now.
Although I must say I am the biggest deal.
Canucklehead: Fracas is one hot mama, I’ll give you that. And thanks!
Mark Steel: Helllooooo and welcome! I know. I got the shirt with a bunch of stuff I’d bid for on e-bay. I thought one of the sellers had included a bonus gift. Go, FMB!
Lord Likely: Hmmm. Perhaps that is true. Or perhaps I need to challenge you to a duel. Do you duel with ladies–ladies who are big deals?

Thought I’d commented. LOL. You’re very very welcome, and thanks for the links. Sheesh. I got a shirt too, but I’ll post about it when i get a camera.
But honestly…your blog made it easy for me to choose,

JohnC: Maybe I should’ve waited to post about my T-shirt until I’d lost enough weight to squeeze into it! Still, it’s hanging proudly in my closet.
