Sarah Brown, I think you've got yourself multiple Sarah Browns. I had a similar problem with my gmail address that was myname@gmail.com and a person who was mylname@gmail.com. I got high school reunion photos, her mom emailed me to tell me that the Richard Nixon library was available for the wedding date they wanted, etc. It took a year to finally get someone who mis-emailed me to get her to contact me so I could forward her mail. A week later, I forwarded her a message and she said "I don't know this person." Now I routinely get evites to events a city 1,000 miles away. Anyway, this is now long and boring, but I was maybe overly excited to see someone else's gmail ordeals. And your girl(s) seems to do a lot more.
I've had this same problem with gmail, and I'm a little shocked and disappointed that one of the world's largest and most important websites can't manage to get its e-mail client to recognize a simple period.
If you see a hook hanging on the car door, it's time to call Neve Campbell.
Damn, yo. I just spent way too long on your tumblr site. Now I have yet another way to procrastinate. You're destroying me, Sarah Brown. Killing me softly with your song, as it were.
She has a friend named Ebony? OSB:1, SB:0. However, you have a book deal, so, OSB:0, SB:5,000,000.
Sarah B, this is amusing and all, but please tell me more about this giant wooden Stephen Hawking robo-suit that I see pictured over there, because it is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen!
Dude, it is that chick from General Hospital. The actress Sarah Brown. I KNOW it!!
Maybe you can finagle a movie deal out of this to go with your book deal.
But to be on the safe side ... don't turn around.
Alls I can say is "WHAAAAAAAT." That's insane.
Also, my roommate had a lastdotfirst/lastfirst gmail issue, which was awesome and THEN this somehow got her permanently on the FW list of some 16 year old Mormon in the midwest, which has resulted in some highly entertaining quizzes/surveys/stories being read aloud in our household. She's kind of like, a part of our life now, and she doesn't even know it.
It's you isn't it. YOU are the Other Sarah Brown. Or should we just call you Sarah Jeckyl Brown?
amyshapiro@gmail.com gets my mail all the time. she is not me. neither is amyshapiro.com, thank god. and you, you are my favorite sarah brown.
Fortunately, there is only one other Aaron Vowels in the world. I think. Anyway, other than an unfortunately named Facebook group "Aaron Vowels is a douchebag", we stay pretty much unaware of each other.
The other Dann Ryan (actually spelled with 2 n's) is a gay rights activist and wears makeup. This has created very awkward occasions where I have met people who say "Oh I know a Dann Ryan, but he spells it with 2 n's."
Although I've never had any gmail confusion with another Jordan Gribble I have had website confusion with a highschool footballer with the same name. If it makes you feel any better, and if it doesn't well you are my personal FAVORITE Sarah Brown.
Oh my God. I read your blog, but rarely comment except maybe one time on a post about the BSC. However, dear God, this is hilarious! Your blog reminds me of the internet of old, aka HILARIOUS great stories. Less crap. Love it.
PS Your text messages saved in my phone series is the BEST.
The grey lady of record follows in your steps:

this is officially hilarious.
i think you are ready for book number two.
only with the cover you should emphasize the OTHER to make it look like a mystery slasher novel and include a troll on the cover with the head severed and 15 drops of blood. no.... 16.
Coincidence? I think not! Luckily, I have never met a single person with the same last name as me. I Googled my last name and the hits are mostly me...probably due to the fact that my great-grandfather changed the family name when he emigrated from Russia in the 10s. One Q: do you think she's getting YOUR emails??
yeah, i totally get emails for the other myname@gmail.com ALL THE TIME. i let her friends know i wouldn't be coming to kim's batchelorette. and i still wonder how good it looked when i emailed the university of maine and told them i wouldn't be able to make it to their day long job interview for the big position she had applied for, but i hoped that maybe she could.
but i'd so totally take her salary any day.
You're the one and only Sarah Brown as far as we're concerned. Does this other person have a book? Hmmm?
I had a similar experience with my Gmail account. The insane mother of this other guy with the same name kept sending me emails, thinking is was her adult kid. She was forwarding the worst, racist, anti-everyone crappy chain messages you could imagine. When I inquired about who she was, she basically laughed, thinking her son was playing a joke on her. Even after I explained repeatedly that I wasn't her spawn, she kept sending me that hateful garbage.
You are living every episode of the Twilight Zone at once.
Hmmm. You want I should choke out a bitch? I feel like a Lesson needs to be Learned here, Miss Other Sarah Brown. Raaar!
I wonder if somehow gmail does it the other way sometimes and she gets your shit?
I used to have a friend with a hotmail account that was misspelled, so sometimes i'd accidentally email the person who had the hotmail account with it spelled correctly. That person got real sick of my shit.
My niece is Sarah Brown, too, but she is the Sarah Brown who has 5 kids, is a nursing student, and is married to a minister.
I'd like to join this club. Because we're cool like that.
