right, apparently this is my last year of high school, and our senior blurbs (quote + short piece of text of our choice to be put in a yearbook thing) are due in like 8 hours so i figured i better start
now from what i've gathered most people seem to enjoy putting inspirational quotes to prepare us high school graduates for life + listing every friend they had in high school + every secret joke they were in on
i don't really care for any of that 
so what did you all put/planning to put in your senior blurbs?
i'm thinking of using a demotivational quote, i need one that makes sense without a picture (i've been looking at despair.com for this) and also fits in with the idea of making fun of graduation + not being too elitist and/or depresssing
my top runners so far are:
Pessimism
Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.
Indifference
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.
Loneliness
If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.
so yeah, halp meh1!!!!

Mine got edited by the yearbook faggot club because I used too many big words that they didn't understand. (Apparently the use of a dictionary was beyond their feeble abilities or motor skills)
I like the pessimism one personally. Or you could just do it all in code.

The indifference or loneliness ones are both short, sweet and easy to get the gist of. The symbolism of the first one isn't clear.

"i'd like to thank mike hawk for everything i've accomplished over the last for years"

camooT's suggestion is the best so far.
That episode of Chappelle's Show was my favorite by far. Hahahaha, fucking Wayne Brady.

One of my classmates tried to submit his senior quote in l33tsp34k, but they declined it. They said they didn't know what it meant and didn't want to be held responsible if it was something bad. Bunch of Nazis running these yearbooks, I'm telling you. Also our school charged us $5.00 + .25 cents per character, which is just fucking ridiculous.
I don't have any examples of good quotes, but overused stuff is lame, inspirational stuff is lame, "witty" stuff that makes light of the inspirational stuff is lame, sarcastic stuff is lame, general gimmicky humor is lame, topical humor is lame, and political stuff is lame. So really, you want to write something that will be timeless, but not degrading or sarcastic, nor overly positive, and you also don't want to quote a famous person. So something like "A Siege Tank in the hand is worth two in the bush, but a Carrier with Interceptors is priceless." would be retarded because the humor is awful (I don't even know what the fuck that is supposed to mean) and it has niche appeal (nerds + 1990s/2000-era gamers).

hmm i agree mostly with what you said excal, but you only pointed out what is bad
the pessimism one is my favorite i think, is it really too symbolic to understand?
anything slightly profane will be edited, so no wayne brady, satan, 420, or giant wang quotes, also i'm not interested in putting in l33t or any jokes for nerds etc.
although i might add "the internet helped me write this..." haha (we get like 15 lines for free so...)
