syncope at 01:10pm on 23/05/2008Arg. I really took one for the team (Team Family) last night. My cousin's graduation was hell on earth. I tried to be plucky about it by mocking all the rednecks in my head, but there are just so many condescending jokes about tacky people w/ bad tattoos one can make to oneself. The only saving grace was that my cousin Logan was seated next to me and he was even more disgruntled than I was and kept up a running commentary about how fucking stupid everything was. This amused. The pit of hell element involved in the graduation was that the principle was retiring and so they had this huge ass send-off w/ guest speakers and blahdy blah blah for what seemed like half my life at the end of the ceremony. Everyone was crying and emo, and I'm all "fuck, get on with this shit, we still have to go to dinner and I have three hours of work to do after that!" Just remember we're sitting on wooden bleacher seats the whole time in a sea of Vogons making "witty" commentary all around us. It really was a farce, to be honest. Because I am awesome, I even did my hair and wore decent clothes so that my cousin could show me off to her friends as her "cool" cousin. That's me, prize show horse in Chucks and my kicky mod dress. *yawn*
We went out for sushi after the ceremony. Now, the seventy eight thousand people reading this who have never had the pleasure of my RL company are unaware of this, but I loathe Japanese food. I hate the taste of seaweed on an epic level. I'm addicted to rice crackers and throw away all the nori-tainted ones. I have tried and tried to enjoy it, but I've given up now. Last night, I drank coffee and ate salad. I had maybe too much coffee for even me. I was to the tipping point where I'd had so much caffeine I was tired again. My family wears me out sometimes, and last night was a very good example of this. Everyone was ON at 100% and squabbling and loud as fuck and I was nearly asleep on my feet. Then of course everyone else went home and I had to sit up with my aunt who had a widowhood breakdown because my uncle wasn't alive to see my cousin graduate. And THEN I had two and half hours of work to do. Yay! I got to bed at 3. This is me complaining without remorse. My mother is out of town, OF COURSE, so everything was on me, and I have to say, I want take-backs on being grown up if that's possible.
Today, my reward is going to see Narnia. Yes, that's right, I'm not pulling any punches. Those fuckers are going to see Prince Caspian with me, and I don't CARE if they want to gouge their eyes out. Retribution. HAHAHAHA Oh, god, ALL the kids are going with us. This has backfired on an epic level. Please, please, just kill me. *weeps into my Justice League t-shirt*
Ok, so David Cook, who has some links?
