Wow.
I'm a college graduate.
Holy shit.
...
Anyway, I'm moved home, and am slowly realizing that this summer, I really do have to make my room liveable, because in August, I won't just be taking the boxes back to Rowan (my excuse in previous summers for not unpacking all my boxed paraphernalia).
Haven't unpacked action figures yet, and thus my computer desk feels bare. But my party is tomorrow, and I'll be damned if I have my nieces around my little display. Damned, I tell you.
Holy fuck, I graduated college. I'm old.
And graduation was rained out, which means I've never had an outdoor graduation ceremony, so I've never gotten to toss my hat up in the air and whoop. Though I suppose that's overrated - I mean, how do you find your hat once you've thrown it in a group of about 10,000 people? And what if you look up to watch where it falls, and the corner smacks you right in the eye? That's painful.
My cap had cat ears on it, and I was proud.
I hope I get a job soon.
I graduated. I'm a college graduate.
Wonder if Boscov's will pay me, like, $7.50 an hour now.
And by the by, I hate that my parents are blind, and the computer is set on 800x600 instead of my glorious 1024x768. And that we have 56K. Anyone have any good jargon I can throw at them to make them get Comcast DSL? My parents are the most technologically impaired people in the universe, so I could probably tell them that 56K modems expire in June 2003 and convince them, but just thought I'd ask around.

*feels your 56K pain* You could do what a friend of mine did and offer to pay half the DSL bill when you find work. It's about $50/month and they'd benefit too. Her parents agreed and yours might too. Good luck.
HOOOORAAAAYYY!!!!
DSL..hmm...I convinced my parents to get a cable modem because of the connection problem, as the person above mentioned. That worked for my mom after years of AOL. Your dad checks his stocks online, right? Tell him with DSL he can check them anytime...and you should be able to get some sort of deal since your parents have Comcast satellite...some value package. If they're cool with media piracy, tell them about the joys of being able to download crappy movies for free- and then inspire them to buy a DVD burner that you can hook up to your computer and burn those flicks onto DVD....oooh..bitchin. And play up the "it won't take up the telephone line" point..that's really good, especially since your mom won't let you sign online til night.
Don't worry about cleaning up your room- you'll have a job and be moving into your own place before you have time to unpack. Consider everything in boxes as good feng shui.
