First I think it's a patheic way to show how popular I am.  Oh yeah I nominated myself for this award and pretend somebody else did.  Guestbooks are much better in that sense.

Second, it's so much bother havin to put the codes on the page and so forth, BLEH.. I dont need it.

THird, I have no shame in it.  I did thsi page on a homepage editor.  I did not do the html myself.  except for a few bits.  I'm lazy and that would've taken too much time and bother.

So there you go three reasons not to bother with webrings or awards.  YOu can have them if you relaly want to but this page is a non specific personal page and I don't need a webring or an awrd for it to look good.
