I want belt test presents, dammit. Okay, maybe just for black, but I want them.

Thanks, Sue. Safari doesn't really let me hover and learn anything. I kind of have to click and drag it to see the number, which is what I meant when I said click, earlier. But actually clicking and going to the profile to do the number thing is very very logical, and not something I would have figured out on my own for a while. Thanks!
I wonder if my parents will even come to graduation.
Mine insisted. It was a little scary. (Not that I mind, of course.)
Arrival t-minus 8 days.

You need to send out announcements, see?

I would guess mine will be like that, but you never know with them -- they might not think it's that big a deal? I mean, my mother's doctorate was a BFD, with a party and everything, but that's a doctorate.
I didn't even give my parents the option. I just decided I wasn't going to the ceremony.
Creepy, huh?
I think you did this on purpose.
Also, I don't have a way to "search" for user numbers per se, just put the user number in and see what I get.
my parents skipped my Masters as my brothers was the same day. I didn't even walk, I opted to take pictures of my friends graduating from ungrad that same year.
reminds me though that I have a cousin graduating this spring. I don't remember what I wanted out of college. cash, right?
You soooooo totally should get presents, Jesse. Also, make your parents come. I mean, someone needs to stand in the audience holding the video camera, and that's what parents are for.
The only family I have that I might send graduation announcements to are in Georgia, which really isn't all that terribly far, and I'd feel bad with that sort of thing, since they keep asking me to visit, and I keep not going. So it seems mean to be all like, remember me? Yeah, I know, haven't seen me for a long time... I'm graduating! Please send your check or money order to this address. And yet I KNOW they wouldn't understand the implied money thing, and they would think it an invitation, and then I'd have the phone call about how they plan on never being on a plane again, because of 9/11, but they're very sad they're going to miss my graduation.
One of my favorite blogs, Language Log, takes a satirical swipe at the Kansas Board of Education's Scopes Trial II: Asshat Boogaloo": "Linguists boycott Kansas hearings on intelligent design of English" WARNING: Very, very dry.
Six years ago, when conservatives previously held a majority of seats on the Kansas board of education, they established guidelines encouraging schools to give equal time to the theory of linguistic creationism, which claims that English was created directly by God five hundred years ago at the start of the Great Vowel Shift so that the King James Bible could be translated into it.
