Who's That? The Opposite of Boring.

Caty Brigman. If you are reading this, please know that the title is for you. For the rest of you, you should know that this is a quote from the best movie ever created (and I mean that with all the sarcasm pent up in my body that couldn't be released during the weekend). This movie is none other than, FAME (not the old one, the new one..although we all should have known after the first one not to watch the second one). I'm pretty sure my IQ is at least 12 points lower, but for whatever reason, I couldn't stop watching. It was even suggested that we stop...I discouraged it..and I have no idea why.

Anyway, great news. I have officially graduated from college. At least to the best of my grade calculations I have. Art as Experience could rear it's ugly head one more time and make me crash and burn, but I don't think so. They say it ain't over til the fat lady sings..and that is the state of mind I'm trying to approach this with...Except instead of a fat lady...I'll just have a piece of paper..but whatever gets the job done, right? Here's a great pic of the momentous occasion..



In a great stroke of luck (okay, not luck, generosity from my parents and awesome rebate at AT&T), I managed to obtain a new computer and cell phone in the same weekend..both of which are way to cool for my actual life. Let's be honest...I don't wear black rimmed glasses and drink starbucks, do I even merit the MacBook I'm writing this on? Don't worry, I didn't get a matching iPhone...I don't believe in having internet on your phone, mostly because I definitely do not believe in updating twitter every 3.7 seconds. I mean trust me, no one cares how many bowel movements you've had today, or what you ate that caused them. Either way, I feel like I will spend the rest of the week setting things up (aka. making my brother set them up for me..not only am I not cool enough, in all reality I'm not technologically skilled enough).

I suppose that's all for the evening.

Some Things to Consider:

1. So I know I just joked about my IQ dropping from that movie. But, In all seriousness, post graduation, I genuinely feel like I am not as smart, like things I would normally never messed up, I have messed up. For instance, 3+3=9? No. It absolutely doesn't...but I said it did the other day. Sheesh. My brain needs a break.

2. Quote overheard by my parents yesterday at graduation:
Person 1: Do you feel very accomplished as parents now that your child is graduating from college?
Person 2: Ehh. Not really, I really felt that way when they got married last weekend and goodness knows the wedding was much more fun than this graduation.

My poor parents must think they're failures. All I have to offer as an indicator of their parenting is a a piece of paper with some words on it, and those words have NOTHING to do with matrimony. Apparently that just doesn't cut the cheese these days, you need that and a husband. Woops. I'm like Miley and the stilettos at the non-Nashville Party..I guess I never got the memo.
