Pawhuska Bloggers

I'm poking around on the Movable Type site yesterday, and notice that the Trotts have posted MT-powered sites nominated for the 2002 Bloggies. At the top of that (alphabetical) list was Ain't Too Proud To Blog, a site I had seen linked elsewhere earlier in the day. So I followed the link.

After admiring the prominent Gwen Stefani graphic (yeah, I've long been a fan of No Doubt. Sue me), I thought the photo of the web author looked familiar. And after a bit of poking around, I discovered Robyn's maiden name, O'Rourke. And an email confirmed that, yes indeed, this is the same Robyn O'Rourke who lived for a short time (maybe a year or so) in my hometown, little ol' Pawhuska, OK, when I was an upperclassmen in high school (probably a junior, though maybe a senior). I didn't really "know" Robyn, and can just barely remember her, since she was several years younger, although I do recall thinking she was cute and smart (I was in high school -- it's what guys think, okay?). So now there are two bloggerland personalities from Pawhuska on the web that I know about, and one of 'em is a Bloggie finalist. Kudos to Robyn!

Even stranger, her husband is a huge OU Sooner fan, loves Shiner Bock, and uses the name Publius for his blog.

I like these people!
