So, do you have something you want to say?

[sarah]

Not specifically. I just think we all have lots of stock answers to explain why we don't do new, exciting, rewarding, challenging, and possibly lucrative things with our time. I just wrote down 20 of mine... errr, 22.

[Katie]

nothing ventured nothing gained

[Brian]

As Mr. Felix Nike would say:

"Just do it!"

[eric.]

sounds like something involving a job or along those lines. brainstorm from that. i know, i can be mr. obvious. it's my downfail haha

[Damian]

We need the Sarah cam back! - It's been frozen on the same frame for over a year!And this time charge a subscription fee - You wont have to work at all.

[Damian]

Why am i yelling!

A-hem.... Sorry

[Patty]

It's not nice to leave your fans with such doubt, just a peek, cruel, just cruel ;)

[Darren]

Who in their right mind would reject you Sarah?! You're smart, talented, witty, beautiful and I'm sure many more things I don't know about. I know I wouldn't reject you, that's for sure.

[prager]

upset you didn't stay with kev?

[Jill]

I've had my own list in my head for the longest time. You've done many exciting and rewarding things in your life (more than I will ever do) so as unproductive as you may feel at times, think about all you have accomplished. Time is ours to waste ;)

[Patty]

Prager:Be nice

[ronconnor]

so this is a general comment. not just for this post.

so, is YOUR name really sarah lane? why was penelope's story so interesting? maybe cuz i;m a guy i don't get it? please help. dont get me wrong i'm glad you posted. and i love all your tumbls.and i don't believe her comments. i think she sanitizes them. all glowing? no dissent? maybe i'm jealous.and finally. a sarah cam? where? don't be shy.

your tumbls and posts continue to inspire.

so when they start complaining about me i blame you!

[Doug]

Reasons why I do it.

1. My network would fiz out.2. In another life Sarah may be sharing a tree branch with me as we chirp all day long.3. I need to return to Europe.4. Djing/vjing brings me great pleasure.5. Because if you don't do something you'll fade out into the dim lit corner of life with too many cats and cheese burger wrappers.

[david]

i think i missed something...what is it you won't do?

[Yolanda]

I'l add my own...

I might failSomeone might look down on meOther people are better at it than meI've been out of work too longIt's easier not to

[Eddie]

Good reasons Sarah. My advice? Just stay in bed, its just SAFER and sleep is godly.

"I just think we all have lots of stock answers to explain why we don't do new, exciting, rewarding, challenging, and possibly lucrative things with our time. I just wrote down 20 of mine... errr, 22."

Oh right..cuz traveling the world for a year isn't new/exciting/rewarding or anything like that.

:P

[Al]

Sarah Sarah Sarah, all I can say is booya!

[Marty]

I Agree with Damian.. WE NEED the Sarah cam back. I would pay to be able to see you again, for like at least a couple of minutes a day.. besides you are not supposed to work anyway, thats why you got married!!

[Clintus McGintus]

It's ok to just chill for a while. On the go for a year is pretty crazy. Great list though.
