Shadoworc and I started going to anime cons together when he was 6 years old, because I wanted to go to the first Anime Boston (2003) and couldn't find childcare that weekend (my spouse was at the Gathering of Friends that weekend, playing games). We're all lifelong polygeeks, with various overlaps in our geekeries. So to us it just kinda feels normal that my teenage son and I would be hanging out on the same internet forum, but I know it's not really your ordinary everyday family experience.
@ Everyone: It's not so much a masters' degree, but my college degree. I'm a master in music, but I've yet to take any grad courses, and I don't think I'll be taking any for now.
@ Kapitän: Gracias. @ La Petit: That was back in December 10. @ Dromaro: I'm glad you like it, but that face creeps the hell out of me. @ Sonic and Omnutia: I cover up most of the time and don't go out often because I live up in the Andes. Also, I'm a white Latina, but I can tan easily. Ask Viga. @ Vi: You flatter me.
I find it odd that people comment on my ghostly pallor, when they usually come from countries where people are so white they don't tan (no offense intended). Is it because I'm from a "tropical" country?

While I didn't comment, I was just pretty sure they screwed up the white balance in the photos. While your skin color is indeed a little strange in that photo, it looked fine in previous photos, and I doubt in reality that your diploma is so white it practically glows.
I decided a while ago to stop showing up to interviews in a suit. Nobody (around here at least) has programmers that show up in a suit. I will wear a suitably nice but nerdy shirt and be done with it.
Since I also work in the office of the president at RIT, the likelihood that I'll need to dress fancy for an event is significantly higher than the average student. Thus, doesn't really matter if I have the most casual of casual interviews, having a nice suit on-hand is a damn good thing.
This is from my new years eve portrait marathon. It's very rare that I have a photo of myself taken with my camera by someone else. Normally there are either shit photos with someone else's camera, or me turning my camera around and snapping a closeup shot of myself.
Other than you being off center being a lil annoying (OCD, sue me), it's a solid pic. Cute ladies, too, even if one of them looks like she is trying to turn herself into a tomato via force of will. =D

Finally, the grad pics made it here. You laugh, you die.

Also, you're not an unappealing young lady.
And I don't have my diploma for now. I had to PS it to correct my name, but I'll get my real diploma later.
@churba That's probably it.
