So much better than the high school "best smile", "most likely to succeed", "best athlete". Just ONCE I'd like to win a "fighting man on the street" award (actually, there's a story about that if you'd like to hear it sometime. I had to defend myself in an alleyway, and I did a damn good job, if I do say so myself).

Anway, a "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" award or "Get Up, Stand Up", that would be something to hang on the wall. LOVE the creativity.

I'm on dialup (I basically live in a cave in the middle of nowhere), so I couldn't watch the "Love Stinks" award. fill me in sometime if you want to.
