I think if the diploma is the ONLY thing on your walls, then yeah, that might be weird. But if it's just one thing among many, then totally normal.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I confess to thinking it's weird. I think I'll get it framed anyway, and then decide if I'm going to take it to work. (If for no other reason than to keep it nice -- I have no idea where my undergrad diploma is.) There are lots of pictures and stuff on the walls.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hello, all. I am here to report that VW has food in her house. I have also seen aforementioned house (it is hard to unload from a car with a blindfold on) and it it bitchin'. Nice hardwood floors, spacious, cool.
Also, there is a farmer's market right down the street on Saturday afternoons, with a small jazzy band -- guitars, flute, a bass. Awesome!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For the first time in I-can't-remember-how-long, I am sitting in my living room with the windows open and not even a fan running, and it is beautiful. I think I'll walk over to the park later, just to enjoy this unbelievable weather.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of my krav friends (Z--I should email him) used to frame his belt test certificates--in a shadow box, with the corresponding belt (we're not given belts, and don't wear them--he bought his own). Sounded really nice and tasteful except, whereinhell would I ever put that up? I also have two certificates from yellow through blue, having taken those tests twice.
Mostly I could never put something up on the wall commemorating an achievement of mine. But I come from a family that threw away my pictures instead of putting them on the fridge (oh, they'll hang my stuff now, even what I hate), and my father once called me to translate his diploma into English because he couldn't remember what he had his Masters in.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh I need to grab this week's episode. I carpetbombed last night's for something else, racing likely.

I have had an oh so productive day. I stayed up until 1:30. Woke up at 7, shot cat, read paper and listened to Only a Game. 8, crawled back into bed to listen to the news. Radio shut off at 9, I fell back asleep. Didn't get up until noon. Been puttering ever since. It's gorgeous out.
SHould go out and do something. I'm dressed and all that.
