Strange and odd things.
- During in-class critique, concerning a video game interface I had designed:
Classmate: The buttons are very... touchable.
Me: *.....................*
Classmate: ...sorry.

- I got complimented on my shoes the other day. From a complete stranger. That always takes me by surprise.

- 'Nother dream: I had to rescue an old friend of mine from Alabama from a capricious faerie who'd turned her into a small fluffy dog, via faerie-style trickery/manners/wordplay. I had gotten in very close with the faerie, and was just running away with my dog-shaped friend when I woke up. *baps alarm with pillow*

- Saw Kung Fu Panda today. I include this in the 'strange and odd' category because it is a Jack Black movie, and everything Jack Black touches turns to WTF. It was really a better movie than I was expecting - not Schindler's List, obviously, but it had Things to Say that spoke to me. Like... you don't have to be perfect to be worthy. How hating yourself can drive you. Or that even masters can be flawed. That was one I really appreciated. ...Plus it was a funny movie. ^_^

- Lastly, I don't mean to bring anybody's hopes up since it's all still two weeks and a metric buttload of work away, but, um... I actually think I might graduate. I mean, I think I've started to let myself believe it. ...Okay, look, I wasn't going to do this graduation ceremony, right? My high school graduation was a complete load of horseshit. The highlight was when I stuck my tongue out at the camera right as Dad was taking a picture. But today someone from The Office called because I haven't gotten back to them about buying a cap and gown, and when Mom told me this I pictured it and pictured my name on the announcement and something... just snapped into focus for me, I guess. I've worked my ass off for this, I thought, why shouldn't I stand up there with everyone else? Why shouldn't I be proud? And that's when I started to believe. Despite myself, I started to believe.

	cuddles Go on and get up there, then, love. Even if it turns out to be tedious it's only an afternoon, and at least then you'll never regret not doing it afterwards. And Rath will be very proud of you, whether you go up for your Bit Of Paper or just get it sent in the mail. smiles and fusses over (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cuddles tight You are awesome and you've worked so bloody hard for this, why shouldn't you? Either way, whether you do the Batman impression in your gown or not, you'll still be awesome because you came all this way and did your best. (Reply to this) (Thread)

-Touchable buttons. *giggles*

-That's one hell of a dream!! 0__0

-I enjoyed Kung Fu Panda as well. ^__^

-And graduation!! You totally deserve to get that cap and gown and stand all proud-like!! (and if you don't um...hmm, I'm certain you've got some people on your friend's list who would throw some kind of strange, bizarre online graduation ceremony for you that may or may not involve fanfic, lol!)

My high school graduation was bullshit as well and I didn't bother with my college one (for my BA) because there would be thousands of other graduates and I didn't want to sit there for *insert waaayy too many hours here*

*facepalm* In this student's defense, he is dumb as a box of rocks and probably didn't mean it That Way.

Is it bad that I kinda want Kung Fu Panda fanfic now? *facepalm*

(and if you don't um...hmm, I'm certain you've got some people on your friend's list who would throw some kind of strange, bizarre online graduation ceremony for you that may or may not involve fanfic, lol!)

...can I have that anyway? ;DDDDD

Well, that's one good thing - my school is veryvery small. Short ceremonies are the best kind.
