Everything I say is a lie.

What I just said was true.

My graduation for my master's

Already walked for undergrad and it seemed like a waste of time.

Long time ago, but as a freshman in honors calculus at the U, I explained in front of the class to the prof (who years later became the head of the department), that I wanted to bow out of something (probably an exam) because I wanted to attend my brother's graduation from medical school across the bay. I still remember his words: "graduations are dull as dishwater."

I don't remember every going to a graduation since, including my own.

I think if your body is physically there it counts as attending. Would sleeping negate your attendance?

I agree.

Unless OP is referring to a soul or spirit (which is horseshit), or faking your own death and not having the sense of humor/curiosity to wear a disguise and go to the service.....

No, I think a corpse is really a former body. You are not in attendance at your funeral. You are in absentia.

Edit: OK, I'm willing to concede that you are present in the sense that you exist in the minds of the attendees.
