Topic 182 - Awards
During this season of the Tammys and all they entail, it's not surprising that this has come up. I think many view it as a popularity contest but, given some of the nominees, I highly doubt that is the case. I think it's like most awards shows, a chance to shine and sparkle. It's something everyone needs.
We all want that moment to feel special, to be the center of the spotlight and claim our fifteen minutes of fame. We want to feel pretty, and charming, and loved... even it's because someone wishes to be spanked by us or to feel our gyrations set to stripper music. Even if it's for a horrible break up, or a loss that we still feel keenly.
I know that I received the most amazing award three years ago. Franklin not only made the award but presented it to me as well. It was obvious he'd had help, though even more so that it had been from his Uncle as the glitter was all red and Johnny sported more of it for weeks to come. That wasn't what mattered. What mattered was the award itself.

That sparkling construction paper has meant more to me than any trophy or key to the city ever could. Now, I learned later, Johnny had encouraged him to make it so that I might lighten up on both of them being grounded but... It stills means a lot to me.
