Senior Quotes

[daniellaaarisen]

I feel like quoting oneself is really pretentious though... especially since I'm a "creative witer" so I would naturally go way overboard anyway.

:/

I've never heard of a senior quote. What does one do with a senior quote?

How 'bout "I'm not a witch"

Basically, it goes underneath your senior portrait in a school yearbook. Most people either put cliche inspirational phrases or inside jokes.

Hey Dani, what'd you finally decide on?

Just curious!

"I rant, therefore I am" - Dennis Miller

The name of the man quoted is a significant aspect of the meaning hahah.... it's my name and my old English teacher/pseudo mother/part time therapist's name in one. We rant to a each other a lot... I rant a lot in general, and the philosophical undertone is the right amount of pretentious humor to perfectly describe me, I think

Awesome! That connection is too funny!

Mine was "Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey?"

Everyone else was worried about putting something meaningful down that would inspire the generations or whatever, and I figured Peter Gabriel is as inspiring as it gets.

Either that or I'm just an ass. Both are equally as likely.

I swear I've never understood that song.

Most 80s songs, I've felt like I "got" them right away - - -
This one? I'm still scratching my head all these years later.

Yeah, I'm not sure I understand it, either. But it's still a great song! I read somewhere that Gabriel said it was about jealousy.

Quoting Peter Gabriel does not make you an ass. It makes you a genius.

I totally agree.

By the way as far as music in general and yearbook quotes,

I think that maybe "one thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product."

Peter Gabriel quote, of course. . . . . . . . .

Well now, not going to argue with a compliment like that. Thank you!
