Why I won “Times Person of the Year”

I finally won Time’s Person of the Year award.  I’ve been lobbying for a few years now.  I personally thought 1998 when I discovered the glory of eating a piece of chocolate after eating “chicken & a biscuit crackers” was more deserving. (Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it).  However, 2006 was a pivotal year as well.  Here’s what I did in 2006 that was deserving of the Person of the Year award:

1.  Didn’t create any international incidents.  Not even one. That I know of.

2.  Stopped kicking people as a form of greeting.  It was a big step, but if you want to win the Person of the year award, you’ve gotta make a difference in the world.

3.  I wore a tiara to the grocery store.  It wasn’t Halloween, I just didn’t feel like going shopping & wanted to add some pizzazz to my routine. I needed to add a little something special so Time would notice me, & it seemed to work.

4.  Furthered my belief that there should be a cheesy breakfast cereal.  Why do we only have sweet cereals?  I also decided that the cheesy breakfast cereal would have to be more like a cracker & less like Cheetos.  Scientists worldwide applauded the discovery.  By scientists I mean me, & by worldwide I mean in my kitchen.

5.  Discovered a disease called Sarakastic-itis in which my middle finger becomes extended whenever I am around someone stupid. A cure has yet to be found.  I have high hopes for next year in which I may be the only back to back winner ever.

6.  Thought about writing a letter to Bono, one of “Times” people of the year last year.  Everyone loves Bono.  I hope that this “Person of the Year” thing establishes a connection between us.  At least we will have something to talk about if we ever meet.

While not my most productive year, I am glad to finally be recognized.  Better late than never. It’s about time. To read more great reviews about the past year check out Problogger’s group writing project.

    Great Post Sara,

    I also liked the one about the Tiara. I like to stand in shopping lines and start humming a tune and getting everyone to join in.

    Keep making an impact.

    [...] Problogger has posted the entire list of submissions for the Reviews and Previews group writing project, and I figured I’d go through all two hundred and ninety-three of them and pick my favorite ones. I hope it provides some interesting reading. These are in no particular order, and I’m going to list all of my favorite ones, instead of narrowing it down to ten or whatever number. Andrew tells us that lawyer blogs contribute to the list of reasons people have to hate lawyers. Sarakastic has an interesting take on Time’s person of the year for this year. Domtan has some very practical New Year’s resolutions for bloggers. Ken sees more monetization in store for blogs and other user-generated content, and expresses some misgivings. Definitely something to ponder. TJP goes through several stupid ways to lose money, and provides accompanying advice. Engtech has a very good post on how to be a not-so-successful blogger. Daniel lists a ton of blogging tips. Another Andrew has a really good post on some internet marketing reality checks. Yoav gives us a list of blogging tools he says we’ll find useful in 2007. And that ends the list. I’ve enjoyed participating in this particular group writing project, and plan to participate in others in future. Everybody enjoy reading. Filed in Technology [...]
