all done!!!
guess who just graduated?!?!?! IT WAS ME!!! haha, took me long enough... but here are a few pictures to prove it!!!

here, for this one, i made the mistake of giving my mom my camera because, well, she doesn't know how to use digital cameras and the zoom function was way beyond her, so here i am on stage. really, that's me next to the little orance blob.

and here are the "professional" ones, (am i allowed to post these?? sure, why not?)
image
(and why do i always make such stupid faces in pictuers that are suppossed to be serious?)

image
but this is my favorite picture of the day. (it was after the ceremony, once the camera was taken away from my mom and my brother started going camera happy)

Bills Game
OK, i'm just gonna say right now that i'm not gonna talk about the last quarter of the game, and especially not the last 30 seconds.

but i would like to say that i was amazed at the amount of people in Bills attire at the game today. it felt like a home game w/o the cold weather, snow, freezing winds, drunk people picking fights with everyone else, cops beating those drunk people with those big police sticks they carry around, and security guards in their bright yellow outfits at every section incase a fight does break out...

but OMG, there were soo many bills fans, it was amazing!!! as we were walking in there were guys chanting the "shout" song. oh, it got me soo excited!

and from my seats up in the nose bleed section, you could definitly hear the "lets go buffalo" chant way louder than anything the dolphins were saying!

and OMG, at the end of the 3rd quarter when everyone started to leave cuz it was obvious the bills were gonna win the game, i wish i had a camera cuz you would think rich stadium or whatever its called now was painted orange and aqua but was filled with bills fans, cuz it was really filled with blue and red shirts...

ok, well i had a good time, aside from what i said i'm not gonna talk about, and met lots of dolphins fans, they were fun, gave me lots of beer and food.

oh, and best of all, so wow, you people talking about craigslist are smart people! i just discovered it the other day, and got 3 tix for $15 each, but then $25 shipping cuz i baught them on friday night, and then $20 parking, so only $90 for all 3 of us, what a good deal!!! the day only cost me $30.00

banana update...
ok, remember back about 2 weeks ago when i had some banana's that i had already had for a week yet were still green???

bananas purchased on november 2nd... yes, that's right 19 days ago!!! theses bananas have been sitting on my counter along with others i have since purchased, but here ya go, this is them now!!! in addition to some flour, sugar, an some "tropical fruit" or whatever it is in those dole fruit cups... but it's tasty, my roomate and i tried some, might be a little dry, but that's about it... but the dry factor is kinda my fault, so the rescipe says to drain the fruit then if it looks dry to add some in, well i didn't add it in, i kept it for myself to make a tasty little drink with OJ and vodka... sorry no picture of that (but it was goood) but here is that those strangly green bananas eventually turned into

image

and even more strange, the bananas never did turn yellow, they went from green to brown... oh well, that's all i needed em to do!!!

MOOSE JUICE
I LOVE MOOSE JUICE!!! if you don't know what im talking about, im sorry, but if you do, then i'm sure you love it too!!!

Moose Juice is De-Lish!!!!

k, that's it for now...

oh, but an update on the bananas, they are still kinda tinted green, but i think they have also browned a bit so i think they should be ready for banana bread soon!!!

bananas
ok, this might seem a little odd, but i bought these bananas on wednesday, wednesday november 2nd. and today is sunday, sunday november 6th.

and they may have been a little more green than the typical banana color, but that was all they had, so i figured why not cuz typically when i buy bananas they start to go brown the day after i buy em. and i usually get em a bit green (lesson learned from shopping w/ my mom when i was little, get em a little greener than you'd like so they last ya) so i thought they would definitly be good and ready by now...

but look at em:
image

and im not playing with the colors or anything. here you can compare it with the color of my hand (and the bright pink nail polish... yeah i was bored this weekend)

image

they are just soooo green... still

image

do ya think they will ever yellow themselves???


image

i sure hope they do...

i gotta make some more banana bread!!!
