Nice smile emoticon I think I won "fastest runner in sprint" in
  3rd, 4th, 5th grades (ages 8-10 I guess) and some music awards.
  But none of it was skill; I just had big calves and brain got
  wired for music. I'd like to be proud of a 9th grade science
  fair winning, but I think it was out of sympathy because the
  solar cigarette lighter experiment I was using to prove light
  focusing caused a big commotion as it was cloudy that day and I
  HAD TO try to make it work with a Theatre Lamp.

  I got the cigarette to light though. Couldn't smoke it. School
  and all, but it took damn near 5 minutes instead of 20 seconds.
  Yeah, maybe I deserved it. Dang it. I just proved by my interest
  that I *do* believe in being Judged. Meh. There goes a
  lifetime's worth of saying "don't be judgmental" but I embraced
  my hypocrisy long ago tongue emoticon
