Graduation, floods and Grey's

lady_saraiI am a college graduate.
Weee!! =D Gloating just a LITTLE. ;)
Graduation was lovely, even if it was held indoors so my cousins had to go watch from another building on closed-circuit television. They probably had a better view than my family in the Health and Fitness Center with me. ;)
I was very happy, I sat with Tina and my friends Kim and Erica who were my neighbors for the first two years of college, and Erica was my RA for a year and a half after that. I've had half my education classes with Kim, too. It was nice. Full-circle, kind of.
There was cheering when my name was read and it surprised me enough that I don't remember how they pronounced my last name. I'm told it was correct. =P
Former governor Angus King spoke! His speech was really fun and entertaining, too, which was NICE.
I forget the context, but he was talking about how his son introduces himself as "the Angus King who was born in Maine" and when he was born, he (the governor) went running around Skowhegan telling people he had a son. He went up to some older gentleman he knew and said his son was a Mainer and the man replied "Just 'cause the cat had her kittens in the oven, it doesn't make them biscuits."
It amused me.
Like the tee-shirt in Boothbay Harbor that says "From Away."
Random. But true.
The sun came out after graduation, too, which was NICE. But by the time we got back to Gorham, it was POURING.
It's been raining since last Tuesday, and will continue for another 18 hours, according to the news. There is so much flooding in York county; I feel so badly for everyone effected.
I'm tired. It was a terrific weekend, and Mother's Day was nice, too.
It was great seeing my aunt. She flew in from California on Thursday and left Sunday, but I only saw her on Saturday. =P
The Senior Banquet on Friday was really nice, and I won a UMF nalgene water bottle, and a beach chair. A really NICE beach chair that has a cup holder and is nice and wide and comfy.
Also, it's in Hufflepuff colors.
=D
(The small things, really.)
And I'm not coherent yet about Grey's Anatomy, but....
O.
M.
G.
I didn't think I'd make it through tonight after last night's show. But I did.
DAMN SHOW, I HATE YOU!!!! YOU KILLED DENNY!!!! O_O
::sobs::
And...
I just was comfortable with HATING Alex and then...
Why is he such a roller coaster? Why do I hate him, loathe him, and then... like him? Why?! Why was he so... decent? And... what he said to Izzy about Denny?
OMG.
And then he PICKED HER UP AND HELD HER AND WTF?!?!
AND!!! Cristina!!!!!! She killed me. She LOVES Burke. I don't think she's ever loved anyone before. She is different.
Her meeting with the chief KILLED me. I cried.
I also SOBBED LIKE A BABY when they put Doc down. Been there, done that, thank you, and the sobbing was a reflex. Totally brought me back to putting Lassie and Baloo to sleep, thankyouverymuch, stupid show.
Also.
This show is doing NOTHING to alleviate my INSANE crush on Chris O'Donnell.
Holy hottness, Batman.
This is appropriate, btw. The only reason I remotely like the last two Batman movies (before Batman Begins) is Chris O'Donnell. Even if they did ruin the Robin backstory. It's still Chris O'Donnell.
Every time he grinned, my heart skipped a beat. And everytime he came onscreen, I involuntarily said "I love you. I love him."
I think Mom rolled her eyes by the time the prom came around.
And Addison? OMG, I love her. I feel so badly for her.
I HATE YOU MCDREAMY. OMG I HATE YOU SO MUCH.
Seriously, I do. He's McAsshole.
And WTF about the sex? And THAT was your cliffhanger? Holy inappropriate ending, Batman. I so didn't care about Meredith's lovelife by then.
Also, I really, really, really like Callie. Even if she's totally out of every kind of loop.
Thinking about it, if I was George's girlfriend, I would loathe Meredith, too. So doing what she did was some kind of awesome.
And IZZY.
Oh.
I'm broken. Izzy and Denny BROKE me.
Izzy particularly. Oh, I hope she doesn't leave the show. Oh, please don't.
And the chief? When he was going to "break" the interns? How much did I adore that?
Also, Bailey. OMG, Bailey. Between telling off the stupid manager in the ER, and wondering where her "suck ups" were, and telling off said suck ups, and the PROM!!! "Do you speak teenage girl?" and she DID!
I want to BE her. Seriously, Bailey is ten million kinds of awesome. How I don't have a Nazi icon, I don't know.
Also, George.
OMG, George, with the braindead pregnant girl's family, and with Izzy, and with Callie in the hallway and with Meredith in timeout and just... GEORGE.
BURKE! Oh, poor Burke. Please recover and move those damn fingers. Please.
And Cristina went to him. I'll take grabbing his hand. That is Cristina for "I love you." I think Burke knew it, too. (I did spend an insane amount of time screaming at her this episode. Or episodes.)
And Meredith? Actually, until the highly inappropriate and STUPID sex? Didn't mind her. Even have been happy for her, telling off Derek, and coming up with a plan with Denny, and her talk with the chief and the DOG...
But the way she treated Finn... Not Cool. At all. I mean, I know she's TRYING. Or was, until The Sex That Will Ruin Addison And Finn.
Here's how it should go:
Meredith and Derek can HAVE each other, already, as they are STUPID. ::glares::
And Addison can have Finn, the Extremely Hot Vet (which means he likes animals, DUDE). Or Mark can return. For the eye candy.
But let's keep Finn on the show, PLEASE.
OMG, I just realized that with the dog dead and Meredith having sex with McAsshat... the vet is SO written off.
::weeps::
Oh, Chris O'Donnell, how old are you? Will you marry me? =P I'll go on a date and birth a horse! I would love that! (I realize this is your character. I'll marry him, too. OMG, in a heartbeat. Finn's story breaks me.)
He's such a nice guy, he doesn't deserve this treatment.
And Denny.
I can't talk about Denny. Not yet.
I'm heartbroken. Seriously.
Even if marrying Denny would have been highly impulsive and too fast and whatnot, she DID love him, and he loved her and OMG he died and NOOOOOO!!!
I did see it coming, but the second hour lulled me into a false sense of security and contentment.
I should know better.
I guess I was slightly more coherent than I thought.
But I am emotionally damaged from that show. =(
::sigh::
I love being done with school. I am reading books FOR MY OWN ENJOYMENT.
I read TWO books today. TWO. It was raining and cold and inside, nice and cozy with music and books.
Contentment, thy name is reading.
I read The Magician's Nephew (or reread it), and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I've started A Horse and His Boy.
I know the order is screwy, but I have all the books in one ginormous edition, as it cost $19.99 and each book individually was $6.99. ;) And this is the order they've been printed in the copy I have and I... am just reading it.
