Tammy’s Xanga Premium Bake Sale
Welcome to the official kick-off of the big bake sale. Let’s get Tammy her Xanga Premium, shall we?
As with any good bake sale, the entire community should join in and bake things to sell. But since a baked good probably won’t last too long, or stay too yummy when put into the post, and since many of us here probably can’t bake well, we’ll do it a bit differently. Each participant, and I hope that’s all of my faithful readers, will leave a comment about what they are going to “bake.” It’s Monday night right now, in a week, hopefully we’ll have lots of great “baked” goods. To give an example of what is being “baked,” I am cooking up a mixed CD. That will be my contribution to the bake sale. What will the rest of you offer??? I can hardly wait to find out. Come up with something you can “bake” and comment. I know each of you has SOME talent. Don’t you?
Below you can see my skillfully crafted counter thingee for our target of $100. As you can see, I am a master of graphic design. And in case you can’t tell, it is one of those thermometer things that rises as the donations approach the intended goal. I will update it as we go.
The lovely graphic segues nicely into the fun part, albeit likely also the tricky part. All you bakers must not only bake, you must sale. By that I mean, you must buy a baked good. The minimum purchase is $1, but feel free to spend more if you can afford to do so.
Soooooo…during the next day or two, each of you will (hopefully) go to Paypal and contribute the cause. Once we’ve all bought, I will randomly assign each of you a recipient for your baked good, and it is up to you to send it his (or her) way. Doesn’t this sound like oodles of fun? Of course it does.
To recap:
1. Comment here as to what you plan to bake.
2. Mosey on over to Paypal and send your donation to swimtammy@aol.com. Be sure to include your Xanga name in the subject line there, so we here at Peasprout’s Dept. of Xanga will know just who has purchased a baked good.
3. Wait for a message from me, in which I will tell you to whom you need to post your baked good, as well as from whom to expect one.
Let the fun begin!

Update on 4/19/2004: Hurray! We made $89. Not quite $100, but super close. Good job everyone. Let’s hope Tammy makes proper usage of her newfound Xanga super-powers!
Shameless plug: If you are in New York and need a wedding DJ, well– I am a New York wedding DJ.
i can bake cookies. sort of.
When is the deadline? I was gonna knit something… but I don’t think I have any time to do that. heh =)
I can contribute brownies! Yum!
lol…if i had a talent, i’d do something. cook?
i guess since i’m a writer, i’ll write a poem!
i haven’t pick up a pencil to draw in a while, but I can make something…
hi hi hi :P
I can “bake” some old clothes from my closet. lol. But if you want me to “bake” some talent, I guess I can sing for free. ;)
I submit a list a written compostition on the ten greatest lies one can tell a person…har har har….nah
keke im down for a bake saLe. HAHA =P
let’s see… i can make yummy candy!
or i can offer my wonderful accounting services… either way, but i prefer the candy… yumm
Oooh I’m going to make my ‘Blues Clues’ Banana Choco Chunk Muffins. They’re unholey good. :) .. cause like. I suck at art *nods*
I could bake pictures of all my cutie stuff animals (which is A LOT)! :)
i can bake a couple of songs sung by me accompanied by my semi-rudimentary guitar strumming…
or mayhaps some legal help.
i’m unfortunately not v talented at all
can’t think of anything i can bake! maybe touch up someone’s picture on photoshoP?
I think I could whip up some poetry. Or candy. Possibly both.
I think I’m going to bake some sushi.
I will call someone and complain about my job in exchange for a baked good.
baking…mmm..makes me hungry… ;9
Thanks for your comment..so you mix CDs? do you also mix MTV? Are there any copyright issues? Let us know we’re interested.
btw. Q-Cup’s Quality is top notch & its Atmosphere is unlike any other pearl tea places! Don’t you think Berkeley deserves the best?! =)
lol…sf.
thank you for sharing your concerns, the small shops are indeed unique. we hope to be part of the balance in the mix..
do you know william hung?
i’m all for that list of 10 lies.
I think it’s great that you’ve organized this effort to get someone premium service. It would be cool if everyone did this.
@absintheandcindr, That is somewhat frightening. You do realize you will be MAILING this to someone. Good luck to whoever buys your sushi… may they have a strong bowel.
I feel something in my life is missing. I am not sure what though.
**~Mu ReE~**
Peasprout draw bloods, watch out
Scuffy is not just GOOD, she’s bomb diggiddie…
Thanks for the insight. She didn’t call right away. She waited a couple of hours. That makes me suspicious. Plus, based on what I know of this girl, I suspect that she’s lying and enjoyed the attention.
btw–I have extra brownies for the bake sale.
curious – how are you going to send real muffins and cookies to HK? and is someone flying out here to sing for me?
This is such a good idea! heh. =) I will contribute 20 bucks when I get paid next =)
Unfortunatly I don’t think muffins will mail that well. Shame, they’re killer good muffins. So I’ve made a modern blues collaboration cd named after the bake sale. I love what you’re doing here and thanks for letting me be part :)
Oh.. and is there any other way to donate besides Paypal? Maybe such as BidPay? Please let me know
I transferred some money to paypal. It said it would take a few days to go through…
thank you for your comment….I hope to get there soon…
my mom won’t let me use her paypal account. or send off my cookies…so i had to eat them all. ALL of them. *vomits*
I went to paypal tonight and bought a good :] sorry I took so long. I could only share $5 but hey, what you’re doing is really neat. Again I’ll bake a great modern blues cd.
Okay, I have the brownie mix all ready to go into the oven – just waiting on who to send it too. :)
Fun, too late missed the deadline… :) Thanks for the lovely emails, I love them! Someone should bake a penpal for a few months.
@Auriale, What emails?
Last guy i fucked solo.. meaning.
the last guy I had sex with… without another being there… my ex girlfriend and i went through a threesome phase.
@Anonymous, Thanks for sharing? Too bad the bake sale has already ended. I think if you had baked a promise to “fuck someone solo,” we’d not have missed our $100 target, for that would have definitely garnered an $11 contribution.
hmm… $89 not bad not bad *nods*
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH GREG!!!!!!! You and your supporters rock my world. =) Thank you thank you thank you!!
oops. i forgot there was a time limit to this. can i still contribute?
@NikkiMe, Sorry Nikki, everything has been baked and sold.
I kind of stumbled across your blog, but I must say that the idea of a xanga premium bake sale is absolutely hilarious to me and I’m still tickled thinking about it. :P Keep up the good work.
Also, the overwhelming construction/ destruction of the city of L.A. that you describes reminds me of my home state of NJ that I miss dearly. The entire state falls under that category and so does south east Florida. Well, that’s enough rambling for today. I think you should continue with the Xanga Premium bake sale, it’s a worthy cause. lol
I just went back and was awestruck yet again at the compassion that exists in the world. Just when I was getting completely jaded again, too. Thanks, Greg!
@tammygirl, It’s Tammy! Yay for still existing and stuff! Glad you found the new blog. Ready for another bake sale???
