so i graduated this past weekend and packed up and moved all my stuff out of my room in PY (my residence hall) thus simultaneously ending both my collegiate and residence life careers. it has been kind of strange but exciting at the same time.
fortunately i don't have to say good-bye forever to VT and Blacksburg; i will be heading back in the fall for one final semester to complete a second degree, a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies (i just got a BS in Biology). This will give me a little more time to apply to more graduate school programs, retake the GRE and enjoy one more football season in Lane stadium :)
i have been super lucky in that i even have found a room to sublet in a cute little brick house and have been asked to babysit a full set of bedroom furniture for just the fall semester! so i definitely have things to look forward to.

this summer is still a little up in the air. i think it's going to be mostly relaxing, working a little (i'm not sure where yet), visiting people who i haven't seen in a while and catching up with all my good friends here at the beach. my mom's probably going to try and get me to go to the actual beach, she thinks i'm too pale (i come from a long line of sun worshipers) i keep trying to tell her i don't want age spots and wrinkles but she insists i need a tan. this will prove to be an interesting battle.

sorry about the series. things got kind of hectic, i got super overwhelmed with graduating and packing (to the point of being pretty much motionless). also my immediate family plus one aunt came to see the ceremony and assist in the moving out process. they're all pretty intense and i didn't really have a chance to use my computer much except to check cuteoverload (i recognize i have an addiction).

i have loads of pictures from graduation but they are scattered about on different peoples cameras, computers, cds etc. i even joined in the fun and took a couple pictures while sitting and 'listening' and the university ceremony. this has been my favorite one so far:

Graduation

it pretty well sums up my feelings about graduation.
loves.

QotD: Also Known As

What's in a screen/user name? Tell us how you found yours.
Submitted by Bill.

well my username for vox is different from all my other usernames because i like variety. but also because i like pirates. anne bonny is one of the few and best known female pirates. she was ruthless and fearless in battles and pretty much did what she wanted to do. back in the day it was believed that having a woman on board a ship at all was bad luck...anne bonny pretty much proved them all wrong and was a really good pirate on top of all that. as a child i aspired to be a pirate and i'm kind of sad that it isn't really a profession any more...so i aspire to be like anne bonny, not so much in the killing people way but more in the fearless and strong way.

my username for everything else is sharpieincluded. it comes from this strongbad email. you have to watch the whole thing to really get the joke. at the end of the "infomercial" for the Ab-Abber 2000 you see the box for the product. if you click on it it says "sharpie not included." well since my name is abigail, i had a good friend who thought it would be a great idea to call me the Ab-Abber. but since i am a much improved model i come with the sharpie. haha. get it?

Hokiexcore

my screenname is an even lamer internet story. so everyone assumes that HxC stands for hardcore. wellllll i go to virginia tech and our mascot is the hokie bird. and every good hokie knows that HxC really stands for HOKIEcore. haha. so now you all know how big of a nerd i am. i hope you're happy.

in other, not qotd news, i had a pretty good weekend. curtis came up to visit so there were lots of fun hangouts to be had. also i got a new camera! it's a sony cybershot and i got an amazing deal on it. unfortunately i don't have a way to get my pictures off the camera/memory stick and onto my computer yet so once i do i will definitely be posting several amazing photos in 7.2 megapixel glory!

but now it is time for paper writing and juice drinking.

Show us you craziest or funniest self portrait.

how about personal favorite?

LOL

this comic is from mitchclem's nothing nice to say. one of my favorite webcomics that is, sadly, not updated regularly anymore.

i used to be pretty much addicted to myspace, but since facebook has suddenly gotten way cooler and way more addictive (thanks minifeed) i've stopped myspacing.

this is also a tribute to my old canon powershot who died on March 15, 2007. we had four good years together, he will be missed.
