Teen money is as good as adult money, Mabs! And if they do get uppity, I say trash the place. In fact - can we trash the place anyway? I'm not even joking.
Anyway, I too am off - see y'all later!
*evaporates*
Oh, I'm not disputing that they'd book the room/take the money, but I'm just toying w/ the idea that if we go parading in w/ a dozen people they might put up a stink (not that we even have a dozen). Just a thought. I really have no idea. I'd imagine if you go in in groups as opposed to one big mass, they probably wouldn't say anything at all. I guess it's just the pragmatist(read: party pooper) in me...I can't help it! *big sigh* There's one in every group, right?
It's really easy to sneak people in.
2 people check in....go up to the room.
One person goes down (heehee), brings one or two people with them.
We repeat this until everyone is upstairs.
And Fishie, if you can get down to the city, you MUST come.
Ahhh, that's what I was thinking BST. Though I do remember staying at one hotel, where you had to flash your key every time you went into the building. *shrug*
I'm sure it'll be fine. Just musing out loud.
No worries Mabel. The whole sneaking in people one at a time is what BST and I were planning on doing all along. We're "resourceful pragmatists". So you in? I don't think we have to worry about the number of people anyway - there's going to be around six or seven of us, and we're booking the largest, most expensive room in the hotel. (Albeit at a steep discount.)
And if they do get snooty at us (which I doubt because we'll all be well-dressed and sophisticated that day anyway), I'll go into stereotypical Asian tourist mode, and Ellie will mention the little, "Daddy's paying for my Ivy League education, and whatdya know, I've got Daddy's platinum card in my sticky little hands." schtick. We'll be fine.
Today has been such an awful day. I got into a disagreement with a co-worker whom I barely know, and he made it personal and attacked me in every day. I'm actually typing this through tears and hoping thinking about October will cheer me up. I never had this drama in Immigration. Why should I take the insults for a dead-end minimum wage job??
Thanks, Kissy.
Thanks, Nik.
(Sort of...)
Easier said than done. This has been a SH*Tty week. I've gotten bad news every single day so far, and it's only hump day.
but you're gonna go to Europe soon, Tiffy... That's something to help you get through the rest of the week...
and I usually ain't the Pollyanna type...
That's true. I've got Europe in a week, and U2 in 4 days!
I'm just glad I didn't cry at work. I wouldn't want to give him the satisfaction. I'm not the crying type by any means, but what he said hit too close to home, esp. with this law school drama, and I'm such a F*CKing nice person in "real" life (hard to believe, I know) that it's rare that someone says stuff to me in a completely mean-spirited and condescending manner. If it was snark, I can fight fire with fire. But this came so out of the blue and unjustifiably that I was mostly stunned and then extremely pissed. And I have to see the motherF*CKer again tomorrow.
Is it just a hetero guy thing?? I give up.

Aw, Tiff! The guy's clearly a moron - why get so upset? Quick poll - is he worth it? NO! Don't worry about facing him tomorrow. If he starts up again, you are more than a match for him. Call him every insult under the sun, punch him in the face, break his kneecaps, pull down his pants and point out his small willy. Is he ugly? Tell him! Does he smell? Tell him! Is he a wankerific scumbag? Tell him! Will he die alone? Tell him! Could you give a flying flock of flamingoes what the **** he thinks of you? Tell him!
How dare he insult you????? Only I'm allowed do that!!!!
*hugs tiffy*
And we'll totally be able to sneak you all in. Plus, SOME of us aren't that young, we're all fairly attractive (I think), and we LOOK like nice, normal girls.
Broadway Legend Joined: 9/20/04
None of us look like hookers, right?
We'll be fine! And if they get snotty, we can always trash the place with our bare hands, and maybe throttle the congierge. What better way to celebrate Tiff's 40th birthday than being thrown in jail??
45th, Ellie.

Well I was just being kind, b_s_t...no need to spell it out. Sheesh. She looks at least fifty though.
Tiffy's got some serious heart pains going on. I'd think it was heartburn but I haven't eaten a crumb today. I don't think this is good.
Tiff, I'm sorry to see that you had such a SH*Tty day. Just think, you've got to have the back swing of good karma coming your way (a beep on your GA tix perhaps???) I hope tomorrow's better, and for god's sake, stand up for yourself. I can't believe the net Tiff is all that far from real-life Tiff...don't let someone put you down and walk all over you.
...I think this whole week is karma for that sort of...manipulative extension I swung for myself. Did I ever tell you about it? I actually felt terrible about it. It's the first time this cold, empty heart has actually felt pangs of...guilt?...without actually having upset someone!
I actually did stand up for myself to Matt The MotherF*CKer. Problem was we were in a room of 36 children, 3 teacheres watching our row, 3 teachers and parents watching from the balcony above and on the floor. I was hollering and bitching and everything you would expect. But once the teachers look horrified when Instructor Tiff has just screamed that someone is a "pretentious, uneducated asshole with bullSH*T vocabulary", MtM was teh one to say, "Tiffany? I'm done talking with you if you're going to be like this.", smirk and walk off. I'm shaking just thinking about it. I F*CKing hate people.
Wait...what'd you do to get the backswing of bad karma.
*sigh* Sorry to hear that this guy was such a prick. Are you going to have to work w/ him on a daily basis (I know you said tomorrow, but...)
I called into work three hours ago to tell my boss I'm blowing off the shift tomorrow. I don't work with this guy on a daily basis - in fact, I've probably exchanged at most 40 words with him in total prior to today, consisting of, "Hey Matt. What's up?", which is why I don't understand where the hostility is coming from.
The bad karma, I think, may be due to an extension that was given to me by a prof when I went on my SF trip. I didn't technically lie to him about my reason I wouldn't be able to hand in the project on time - I just sort of made statement A, made statement B, and combined them so they seemed correlated. *blush*
I'll wait until we're online at the same time during the day, so I don't have this tidbit simmering on here with all the bored lurkers reading it. (*waves* Hi, bored lurker!) I feel awful. I wonder if this is karma. If so, the higher beings are mean. At least I won't be dealing with MtM tomorrow. It's just not worth it.
Tiffy, it's better karma than the cancer you thought you were going to get.
I can look like a hustler if I need to...
*hugs to Tiffy*

i'm SURE i won't be able to stay overnight. i'm not even gonna try that one. but i'm honestly not sure which day. i think the deciding factor for me will be if we see rent on the 9th or not. i don't have to decide right away though, unless you need to know to get the lennon tickets.
now that i'm thinking about it, i might HAVE to decide later. october 8/9 is the middle of field hockey season, and i might have practice or a game on saturday.
edit - you know, i really have NO idea how they're gonna take this. it's half a year from now, and i'm hoping that once they figure out that i'll be driving then, the amount of freedom i have will increase. (36 days till my birthday!) half a year really is a pretty long time.
i might be able to make it both days, just not overnight. i can walk from penn station and meet you guys somewhere. i AM in the city, and if you guys decide to rape me i could just catch a taxi and ditch you all. (not that you'd do that ) we're not in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, I wouldn't push your luck about the over-nighter either. You can admire our hotel from the outside.
No biggie on picking the day. We probably won't be buying the Lennon tickets until I've booked my flight, and I won't be booking my flight until I know where the hell I'm going in the fall, and that's not gonna happen any earlier than the end of June/early-July. Would you actually be driving into the city? I don't know if I'd EVER want to drive in the city. Penn is close-ish to Madison Square Garden and all that, so we can walk you to the train when the rest of us head to the concert on Saturday, or else if you guys are meeting up with us at MSG after the concert, we can go for a late dinner/coffee and then walk to you to the train.
And don't worry love. I can't speak for the rest of the ladies, but I won't be raping you. After all, you'll be meeting me the same day Bono will be meating me.
Broadway Legend Joined: 9/20/04
Bono won't be going anywhere near you, you sick deludo. Don't worry, Beka, I'll protect you from Tiff's wily ways. And Penn is a bit more than close-ish to MSG - it's right underneath it!
