Meanwhile everyone else is oblivious to our moment of realization because we aren't nearly as bad as we think we are.Sarah M Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496833468568204150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-77166270113643330932010-03-31T20:04:32.232-07:002010-03-31T20:04:32.232-07:00That was hilarious.

And I'm really smug about it, too. I'm not very funny on my blog, or very smart, so I assume people have low expectations of me and I'll just blow them out of the water with my awesomeness. <br /><br />You've got me really scared, now. I'll just be sure to get like 12 hours of sleep the night before.
