My Graduation Cake

[cindylou]

I dont care how much money I had I would NEVER ask my parents to spend 600-1000 dollars on a cake for a BBQ. Not trying to judge you IP.

I about shit myself when it was my wedding cake ; but def. not for a BBQ.

that type of spending on a food item is not even in my world. who are you trying to impress at the party?

Though I must admit ; most of the time when I throw parties I try to impress. Not like THAT though.

Now ; if I made that kind of money ; and I was paying for it myself ; well then YES.

But I'd try and make it myself first!!! LOL


I'd rather spend the money on a DJ or a great dress to wear maybe???

IP, you're not getting it and clearly won't.
I grew up with money. a LOT of it- my parents paid for my college and graduate school too, plus spring breaks and anything else i wanted. and as soon as i saw that cake I laughed at the rediculousness of it.

this thread REEKS of "look at how privaledged i am". its not the issue of you having a simple bbq or a ball at the waldorf. you're here on a site of bodybuilders and weightlifters and powerlifters, and you show us some pretty, little, expensive cake your parents are going to buy for your "little BBQ" (which you failed to mention until called on it), and what were you expecting? everyone to say "oh, thats so pretty! you're so lucky!"?

really, what were you expecting here?

you are the one that told us how laid back you are. how you don't take anything here seriously, because its just the internet after all, and how this is purely entertainment for you, then you come here and make threads with personal agendas and get pissed when they don't work.

what happened to the girl who said she knows how to chill and just have fun?

excellent post.

a bit bitchy, but still excellent.

when people post up here about a new TV or motorcycle, i'm pretty sure it's because THEY are buying it, not their parents.
and since you've been here a short amount of time, and already told us a few times about your degree, and your acceptance to a prestigious graduate degree, and the fact that you've never worked at a paying job until now, and all about your wonderful boyfriend, you're accumulating a reputation as a braggard.

so really, what were you expecting to get when you post a pic of an expensive, girly cake on a fitness site? especially after you know that a few people have commented on you coming across as stuck up?

1. In my profile where it asks about education, that's where i put it. So that's how people know - I never bragged.. I was excited about graduating.
2. graduate school is also in my profile and peeps had asked me before which is how all the arguements go started
3. worked = yes. Paid = no (except for the last month).
4. what does the boyfriend have to do with this? Obviously that pulled a lot of entertainment in thanks to a few peeps (especially all the whey who was hilarious).

Whatever. It's fine. I get your point.

I never asked them. They offered. I don't do thinkgs like that to impress. You must really not know who I am. And that's fine because it's hard on here. They were willing to get me a cake and so I said thank you because I wanted some type of dessert for people. It's with my family and close friends. I don't need to impress. I just want to enjoy and have a good time and eat some good cake.

lol but they don't. You don't understand my parents. Some people it's not about impressing as it is just having a fun yummy cake. This is my FAMILY - they don't care to impress their own family nor do they have to. That is not the kind of people they are... they give more than they take and for a special occassion, they asked me if I would like this - I've never had a cake like that so I said thank you very much, I think it would be fun.

I never thought about the whole "impressing," thing until you brought it up. Again, I don't think like that.

I didn't even click and see what the cake looked like until this was 4 pages long. I just thought it was funny and sad that an adult had to go onto a steroid and bodybuilding site to brag about the fact that her parents are going to get her a cake and throw a party for her graduation. I'm just thinking Billy Madison. It's kind of worse in a way knowing it's a $1,000 dollar cake. Makes it seem like bragging about the price of the cake. Goes right along with the schooling paid for by mommy and daddy and the Audi TT, which is what all the kids are driving this year. Just comes off like a spoiled little rich shit bragging.

1,000 dollar cake!!!
serious??? I know for weddings they can be very costly with all the layers and shit but damn!! I say save some money and buy some duncan hines..lol

if you got it, you wouldn't be defending/deferring.

i haven't looked at your profile, yet I knew those things.
they are all things you've posted about, because you wanted us to know you are different. that you are smart and well educated. that you come from class and that you vollunteer because you're a good person. you posted pics so we see that not only are you all those things, but you are pretty too.

we all have SOME kind of agenda. that's yours, clearly.
and this thread, was another addition to it.

are you surprised that its so transparent that everyone here sees it except you?
you're a smart girl and all the people who didn't simply reply "oh, that's CUTE!" told you how transparent it was. so listen to them, or take your OWN advice and RELAX and have FUN. be witty and sweet if you want, but to get nasty just proves that you're pissed that people aren't behaving the way YOU want them to.
