I really want the pictures off my mom’s digicam, since those are from gradumuation, but I have no clue where the camera is, or if the plug for mine will work with it, since they’re totally different brands. Though! I think we use the same card, so I could always just stick the card in mine and… I’m going to quit rambling now.

My sister gave me a beautiful engraved photo album. I haven’t yet been able to put pictures in it because a) I want the gradumatation (it’s such a big event it feels like it needs more than four syllables) pictures, and b) I get all teary every time I look at it. The outside (top & bottom close-ups):

And finally, necklace! It’s not very in focus, but it’s the best I could get with the webcam.

Of course the bigbig present was the car (mmm…), which I have yet to name. I’m still stuck between Oscar, Elliot, and Oliver, and I say them with about equal frequency. The picture’s (obviously) from winter, but it looks the same now. Well, except I finally have license plates.
