Humility is one of my better qualities
I don’t know. I think the new profile pic is a little pompous.
Does it look like I’m tooting my own horn? I mean, I was very honored and all to be named TIME magazine’s “Man of the Year” back in ’98, but do you think I should go around telling people that? 
Why, WHY am I in such a good mood? 
To quote Alistair Simms as Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol”: (the best version in my opinion)
“I don’t deserve to be so happy.” (Short pause) *chuckling moving into extreme laughter* “I can’t help it!” *HAHAHA* “I just can’t help it!”

Did someone have a little too much sugar?
OH!!!! I know what it is. I had a Mt. Dew (copyright 19forty-whatever, trademark Pepsi-Co)
at about 7:15. Just one Mt. Dew and I am just rocking like a maniac. And I was hoping to get up early tomorrow, oh well, I guess I will just have to get up late, and that’s ok, i mean, who is going to judge me really, it’s not like i’m doing anything i shouldn’t it’s just sleeping in, have you ever slept in before, it is rather fun isn’t it, why is it that the things that are fun are maybe not the best things for us to do, have you ever wondered that, probabbly not, i mean, why would you ever wonder that, i can’t think of a single reason you would, unless you are someone who reacts to caffiene the way i do and start getting a lot of fake energy and say whatever comes to your mind in a very quick succession, kind of like i’m doing now, have you noticed, i hope you did because it did take a little bit of time for me to type this up, time i could have spent in my nice cool house, going to sleep, or at least trying to go to sleep, because i have a feeling the sleeping will not come real quickly tonight! 
*Whew!*
Pompus? Maybe so. But I smiled!
Thanks. Job well done 
Yeah. I’m pretty “sensitive”to caffine, too.
At Nashville when they had the reception for the volunteers, I had had a Starbucks and 2 hot glazed Krispy Kream Donuts! Then they gave us ice cream on top of that. How could I resist?!?!? I was EXTREMELY hyper! Mom came over to me a few times and told me to calm down……but I couldn’t stop!! Literally. I tried….but it didn’t work! hehehe
So I totally understand the caffine/sugar/energy/hyper thingy!!
~ Spunky~
LOL…well…for those who don’t know you, like myself, I had no clue that was you on the front cover! Sorry!
So no, you didn’t seem full of pride to me!
Ahhh…caffeine, yes, glad to hear I’m not the only one that can’t handle it.
Dealt with that issue last Sunday evening after having a particular ice cream for the first time…coffee-heath…suppose there was caffeine in that?
Couldn’t understand why reading a book didn’t make me sleepy, until I came to a rather late conclusion.
Hence, I have grown accustomed to decaf coffee out of sheer desperation!
Thanks for the “unsolicited advice”
You are not the first one who has complained, so I may actually do something about this, hehe. I’ll let you know when I have changed it, and you can let me know how that works for you.
God bless you with a profitable day (hmm…is that possible getting up late?
) jk

Oh, meant to ask you, what were you being recognized by TIME for?
Now you have my curiosity up!
I feel a little awkward commenting here and being a guy… I mean, is that allowed?
I was wondering what the “special” issue actually meant on your time magazine.
BTW, JD says hi.
Well, I was recognized for my amazing skills as a humorist, and also my photo editing ability.
Actually, in all honesty Sarah, it’s a fake. I did it for fun one time. That would probably be more obvious if the picture was bigger. Sorry for the confusion. (But I am rather proud that I fooled someone with it.) 
And boy do I look thin in that picture!
I need to work out.
“Y’all” is a perfectly fine word, it’s practical, I use it myself.
“All y’all” is hick though.
Wow! What a reaction. I wish caffiine helped me that much. It would sure come in handy at work on those afternoons where the eyelids are sooooo heavy.
Hey, I met Vanessa’s older brother this week. We were talking about Xanga and why he didn’t have a blog. He said he knew both “Ed” and “Od”
We are trying to talk him into getting blog and joining in on the fun. There is going to be a presentation from the trip to Mexico tomorrow night. We saw your brother Matt in a video they did….looks like they had a great time.
Gotta run!
FOOLED ME??? uh…no. Sorry to disappoint. :-/
As to your comment…I think I have an explanation. You see, when somebody jokes in a “boasting” way or whatever, the hearer laughs because his/her attitude is like “yeah, whatever”. She can completely disregard the comment and laugh at the humor. BUT, when the joking comment is one that tears down the joker or belittles him, the hearer can’t just take the joke as a joke. Rather, out of fondness and a merciful heart, they READ INTO the joke and therefore are unable to take it as a joke but try to figure out if something REALLY IS wrong with the joker. Make sense?
Don’t you feel informed?
Wow, yes, Ms. Perky, I do feel informed. That is a very insightful comment, and I appreciate your consideration of it. I think you are probably right.
However, if you think you are the only Sarah in the world, I’m afraid you are sadly mistaken. I guess I should have taken more precautions to be certain that if I was speaking of “Sarah” that you wouldn’t think it was you. I’m not sure if you read the other comments, but my revelation of the fakeness of that TIME magazine cover was intended for Sarah “ForGod4Country”.
Sorry for the confusion Ms. Perky.
Which one of us is pompous again?
Does this count as having fooled you? LOL!
