1. Why must I wash my homework reminders off my hand? I mean... isn't the whole point of grad photos to make you look scholarly? Nothing says scholarly like an armful of test reminders.
2. Roses? Plastic roses? Really? Do the guys get to hold the roses? I hope so. Anyway, couldn't they spring on... I don't know... not plastic roses?
3. The people who get their hair done for grad photos are gradiculous [my new term for ridiculosity related to graduation]. Prom is one thing. But guess what. You're wearing a grad cap in your grad photos.
4. The photographer saying things such as "you go girl" and "that's just it, just look off into the distance... ooh she's thinking, pensive, I like it". Go away camera man! Can I please post how I want? I was counting on thumbs upping...
5. Props for grad photos? REALLY? Sure, something discreet is alright. But I don't understand why someone can bring say... drumsticks [Sorry, Cory] or their hockey stick, or their cat, and I can't pose with my thumbs in the upwards facing position.
6. The fact that these photos will be representing us in the hallway of the school for fifty years. We still make fun of the people from the Class of '83. No one wants to be engrained in the school's history in a gradiculous blue gown, and goofy hat. I would like to be remembered for such fantastic pictures as this:
So those are my mini-rants about grad photos.
GRADICULOUS.
