My completely awesome friend and mentor Gothic Angel gone perform an awardicon blitz on my portfolio yesterday! I received five awesome ribbons for my five main folders, each color-oriented to the element the folder is connected with. I'm so ecstatic its freakin' ridiculous. My grin is so wide it would scare small children.

Gothic is the best mentor in the world!

As a side note, my little brother lost two of his bottom teeth in the past three days. He called me this evening to tell me the other one came out. Zack has an odd fascination with the holes the teeth leave behind. Boys will be boys, lol.

What gets me is that the "tooth-fairy" left the kid 10 bucks for the first tooth, so I can only imagine there will be 10 more dollars under his pillow tonight. Ten bucks! When I was his age I got fifty cents for my teeth (a dollar for the two front ones) and I was one of the lucky ones. My theory is my step-mother didn't have change. Because if that kid get 10 bucks for each tooth, Zack can put himself through college by the times he's finishes popping out his grin.

At least I get a "when I was your age" story to guilt-trip him later in life with.
