I Just Graduated from High School

[oostevo]

I'm not quite sure why this is quite relevant on a politics board, but I just felt like sharing.

It was overall quite a fun time, though for some reason Pat Robertson decided to glare at me throughout the entire event *shudder*.


Edit:
Oh, right, I forgot: I suppose I'm supposed to say, "Ask me anything" (tm).

1. Hey, congrats

I remember my graduation night. No wait, I don't remember that night. My mistake. ;)

Cheers! Enjoy being a grown up. Better yet, don't ever truly grow up. :toast:

2. congratulations

but, um, shouldn't you be out boozing and womanizing?

[oostevo]

3. Womanizing?

Hmm? Are you kidding? I'm a responsible subscriber to the progressive ideology, thank you. No womanizing for me.

Now boozing on the other hand ... err ... that comes later.

4. Congrats

Graduating from high school was one of the happiest events of my life. For me, it signified freedom. Graduating from college was more of an achievement, but I was much happier to get out of high school than high school.

5. Congrats to you

Why the heck was Pat Robertson glaring at you? If he was there, and you ticked him off, then you must have done something right. Have a great life! Enjoy tonight.:party: :bounce:

[oostevo]

9. I think I've got a reputation

as one of the far-left. Oh, right, and I'm a secular humanist.

Really, I just think he can't stand me.

20. Do you have his e-mail address?

Oh wait, you said high school.

What is your favorite subject?

[Padraig18]

Slainte! :beer:

10. Why was Pat Robertson there?

Just curious. Have you met him personally? Was that why he was glaring at you?

11. Congrats!!!

Enjoy your accomplishment!

[Auntie Bush]

12. Glad someone so young is on this board and is interested in

Democratic politics. Now be gone with you...Go have some fun! :toast:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Why was Pat Robertson there?

And why didn't you give him a big ol' DU super wedgie and tell him what an asshat he is?

And of course, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :yourock:

[oostevo]

15. Well ...

1) Because his grandson was graduating.
2) He had security with him about three times the size of me, and he's on the Board of Trustees, so they probably wouldn't have given me a diploma if I tried it.
3) Why thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Board of Trustees, eh?

Is it a religious private high school?

And I should that a man of faith doesn't need bodyguards. How odd. Kind of like the Pope driving around with bullet proof glass. Hmmmmm....

[Joanne98]

22. Really "The Good" are soooooooo evil they need bodyguards.

They're Karma is coming. Like a train. whooooooo whoooooooooo :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Let us hope so!

[oostevo]

24. No, it's not.

It's just elitist.

Really, the parochial schools around here aren't really that well-respected nationally. So, though they'd probably fit his family better, they wind up with me. Fun, fun.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. I'm just glad you were there to make him uncomfortable

Did you happen to be Valedictorian? That would be total divine justice! I asume you weren't, though, since you didn't mention giving a speech. But DAMMIT I'd have loved to hear the speech you might have given. Anything that gave ol' "Rape me anally, please, you muscled big-boned heathen gay stud!" Pat a heart attack would have been perfect.

Or if not, if you won the philanthropy, ethical behavior, moral behavior, or righteous living awards, that would be divine justice as well.

19. Congrads. Sorry you had you young snyc wounded by Pat Robertson

Go see the global warming movie. It may not be exact but it gets the picture.

[Norbert]

21. Congrats, oostevo

Enjoy your summer of freedon and don't let Pat Robertson scare you. Think about it. God is probably glaring at him as we type.

[SmokingJacket]

25. Life only gets better from here --

Being a grown up is great.

Cheers!

[flamingyouth]

27. Congrats! Scary about Pat Robertson being there

I think that would have given me an anxiety attack of massive proportions.

Good job! :D

[northofdenali]

28. Woooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!!

One of the best nights of my life was the evening I graduated! So...

Where do you go from here?

Pat glaring at you is the sign of many good things to come.

[MisterP]

29. was it cloudy?

if so, what's Pat doing outdoors? when the Wrath of God might come down?
:D
