I is all graduated and smart now. The paper says so. Do not question it.

Parents took a lot of pictures. One consists of me attempting to eat my diploma while Mom smiles at the camera.

I couldn't help it. I hadn't eaten in six hours, and my eating habits are peculiar. I can't do big meals. I snack all day. I was starving.

Also! We stopped at a small mall (er, not to imply we have large ones in this state) on the way home and I stumbled over some Transformers movie toys. Lots of random stuff I didn't want, lots of Swindles, and then four actual characters - two Bonecrushers, one Blackout, and one Ratchet. I was only going to buy Ratchet, since I'm not sure how much money's in my account and because, come on, I don't need to spend that much in one dump. (And I picked Ratchet because, come on. It's Ratchet.)

But then Dad overheard me considering those things (what no I do not talk out loud to myself in public it is more of a mutter anyway), took Ratchet from me (nooo! I made a meep!-y noise and grabby hands trying to get him back) and picked up the other two and, er, proceeded to pay for all three. Hooray!

Ratchet is delightful and I, for some reason, especially love the little joint-thing on his legs that causes the sides to bulge a bit. It is a nice touch. He is probably my favorite of the three. (Admittedly, the fact that his name is Ratchet and he is the medic probably contributes.) Bonecrusher is fun! I like using his ... er, pinchy-thingy to attack people. Though he is kind of small, I guess, when compared to the other two. Blackout, I'm not sure I can comment on fully. I haven't actually transformed him yet because I have been having too much fun with his vehicle mode! (This is a surprise. With pretty much every Transformer I own, the first thing I've done upon freeing them from their plastic confinement is transform them and then decide which mode I want to fiddle with.)

... but his blades spin! :D
