Hooray for Me!</strong> <i>I've been working on my acceptance speech. This is what I have so far: </i> Wow! Time's Person of the Year! And my mom said I'd never amount to anything! Let me start by saying that I was very lucky to receive this honor. In fact, I came very close to NOT getting an award at all. I only downloaded my first illegal video from YouTube last week. The truth is that all great achievements are shared and no one person can lay claim to the complete credit. Therefore, I'd like to thank all of the 150 million little people who helped make my winning of this award possible. I need to mention by name WZUP97, ScottAB, Chairgrrl, 2Bchronic, Deeeh, Shaggy7teen, Playah, Netsoul, PDiddyplus2, HoneyB, MCLMNOP, BaddBrainz, and XPimp. And remember, I love all of you - even when I have to brutally flame you for posting something idiotic on my blog. You mean more to me than my real life family. Together, we share an awesome responsibilty to build from the foundation we've constructed and go out and have an even greater impact for freedom in the world. And there is a lot to do. I noticed last night that none of you have posted that Beyonce CD that I asked for yet. Let's get on it! In closing I want to say that I really do deserve this, even if my MySpace profile is a lot of B.S. and all my Wikipedia posts were cut and pasted from someone else's Web site. I put the ME in media. It is SO rewarding to finally be given my props. It almost makes having my identity stolen by one of my 30,000 MySpace friends worth it. Wow! Hooray for Me!
