As of Tuesday I am the new public face of my university's employment service. There's now a 4-metre tall banner of me over the main entrance to the union building and leaflets with me on the front. I suppose it's kind of ego-stroking in a totalitarian way to walk under a giant image of yourself to get to classes. I'm definitely stealing the banner for the side of my house when they're done with it.
What else... hmm. I won a statewide dog-drawing competition at age 8 and got to meet the governor. My uncle's met Bill Clinton. I met the lead singer from the band The Vasco Era over NYE; he was a good bloke and very pissed by 5pm. That's about all I can think of for now.

The legend of Assbones, stolen without shame from http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3702
During 3rd grade our teacher was a Broadway reject who insisted on teaching us useless stuff like performing arts and ballet poses and pretty much everything in the world a 9-year-old male would think is stupid. One day she told us she was going to teach us something new and we should all move our desks up against the wall. This kid Hector's desk was right next to the teacher's desk and when he moved it we could see the word "ASSBONES" written on the side of the teacher's desk in permanent marker. Nobody knew what it meant but she completely flipped out at Hector and suspended him even though he denied doing it, and as far as I know Hector's nickname remains "ASSBONES" to this day.
