so im stealing this first entry from courtneys journal b/c it IS everything that happened just as it happened with the few comments i added. you'll see..
Courntey's Journal Entry:
Whoo Surfing on the E Train while being NOT Drunk... Irish!(meg- which was on the shotglass i gave dame)
Friday The 13th was the best spontaneous trip to the city ever! It all started when Meg (Hinkline) (meg- thats Hinklein court) called me up Thursday and was like what are you doing tomorrow? I was like nothing... She was like don't you have school? I was like fuck school where are we going?! She was like I wanted to go see Damien in the city do you want to come and I was like YEAH! Ok so now its Friday and after we went to Brook Dale (meg- thats Brookdale, court) to give Mike back his wallet, (meg- that he probably purposely left in my car! jackass) and went to Toys R Us to cash my check (meg- where court bought me popable candy!) we made our way to the Gordon’s Corner Bus Stop, paid homage to Wawa, had a nice chat w/ the ticket lady, we finally got on the bus. {{Riding Bus}} Ok we got off the bus and made our way down to the main entrance of the Port Authority and we waited around a little for Damien. Meg called him but there was no answer so we figured he was on his way and was in the subway or something. So we walked around for a little bit and making our way up 42nd St. we were attacked by Ashley. (meg- AH!) She is this girl who kept trying to sell us tickets to the NY Comedy Club....which we didn't want. (meg- we had to nod and smile our little hearts out and told her we'd run into her later..bullshit) So we finally got away from her and made it back to the PA (meg- thats port athority, not penn) to wait for Damien. We waited against a random Ralph Kramden (from the Honeymooners) Statue?! (meg- we dont know why its there either) Any way Damian showed up w/ his friend Stu who I might ad is very cute! (meg- they were standing behind us and didnt know it was me b/c im blonde) Ok what now... both of them had like no money so they suggested taking a walk through Central Park...Uh…Ok now mind you it's windy and COLD as hell outside. (meg- nigga cold, courtney) We ended up walking and Bull Shiting for hours only turn around and retrace our steps (meg- in my stelleto heels!) so we could find the city part again. {{Walking...}} Ok now we made it back to I think 57th street from like 73rd street or something. Now what... Lets take the sub way to the village. Ok we found an entrance to the E train, bought our Metro cards, and got on. Now I have never been on the subway (meg- neither had i) and i wasn't aware that if you weren't sitting that you NEEDED to hold on to something. The train started and I slammed right into Damien He became my support until i fond the bar w/ Meg next to the "dead guy" God I hope he was just sleeping. (meg- no, he was dead.) The subway is a lot like surfing.... I hate surfing! (meg- its a lot like rolling thunder. fun for a moment and then youre like, oh my god! im gonna die!) {{Surfs on the subway}} Ok we made it to the village....now what? More walking and Bull Shiting until Meg wants Ice Cream. (meg- i NEEDED it. all that walking? meg cant loose weight- psh!) THANK GOD! We got to sit down and then Damian (meg- thats damien, court) and Stu tells us about the Sausage Fest (meg- whoa! oh man..) this guys wanted to have on Hallmark Day... (Drunk depressed guys on V-Day w/ no girls could be bad!) The ice cream break was over and it was time to walk around some more! JOY! We walked in circles (meg- and in mud!) until we found the subway station we got off at. We got back on and surfed to 42nd street where we have to left them b/c they had something to do and then had to go back to school (St. Johns). It was really creepy b/c as soon as we were saying goodbye we heard a violin playing…(meg- kinda like that ending scene in Titanic) {{Que Twilight Zone Music}} (meg- and me and court pulled out tissues and waved our boys farewell as the damn train doors opened and closed and opened and closed and finally left) Any who our feet hurt so bad and we are starving! I have never walked around so much and at such a fast pace in my life! (meg- "guys, slow down, courts gonna have a heartattack.") God those boys walk so fast! We spotted a MacDonald’s and made a B-Line for it! There we got food and peed! (meg- and got suckered into buying 2 packs of MnMs for $4.00) Now the only thing we had done all day was walk around so Meg and I wanted to do some good hard sitting on our asses (meg- damn straight!) but we didn't want to go home... Lets see if we could get rush tickets to something. We walk to 51st street to see if we could go see Wicked but there were no more tickets so now what? Little Shop was only one street over so we went there. They did have tickets but nothing was together so we are like well how much are they and how far apart will we be? The guys was like $26 and change each and you will only be one row apart from each other. We were like…Uh… where are these seats? He showed us a diagram which we thought was the Mezz seats but it was actually a blown up version of the Orch. The seats looked close to the front of Mezz… so we thought so we went for it and bought the tickets. We flipped a coin to see who gets the closer seat and I ended up getting the closer seat. Now the show doesn't start for 2 hours so we sat down in the lobby and played crazy eights. (meg- with stolen carebear cards) Time goes by and the doors open. Meg peed (meg- yes, again!) and I bought a program. We went to get seated and we head to the Mezz lady but she told us to go to another lady. We did she looke3d at out tickets and she started to lead us farther to the front of the Orch seats. Now we are at the front....Oh Man! I sat 3rd seat in, in the front row of the left Orch and Meg sat 3rd seat in, in the 3rd roe. I turn around to her and just started smacking the stage and was like oh man! Oh Man Stage! Never in my life have I ever been that close. (meg- and at one point court put her playbill on the stage and the usher freaked the fuck out) So I we start talking to each other about the lights and the scrim and shit. The lady sitting next to Meg starts to wonder why we are sitting apart from each other if we know if we know each other so we explain the story and she was like if you don't mind how much did you guys pay for your tickets. We were like $26 and change and she was like Oh My God I paid $150 each. (meg- and she said she got them for 50% off!) We secretly were like hahahahahahahha $26 and change baby Oh Man! Through out the show I saw up the black girls skirts ( way more than I ever wanted too). The guy who played Seymour (meg- who freakishly resembled emma's father, Ralphie) scared the crap out of me b/c he made the plant knock the trash can lid off the trash can and it came right at my head but the lid was on a chain so it retracted. The craziest part was he knew he scared me and all I heard was Meg laughing and all I saw was him not trying not to break Character cuz he thought it was funny too. (meg- i thought the thing had killed courtney! but when i saw her head was still attached, i lost it! i couldnt stop laughing! she had jumped 3 feet out of her seat!) The guy who played Audrey's Boyfriend/ motorcycle riding dentist spit so much during the show when he came by me i was like please go away! (meg- umbrellas anyone?) Also after the plant eats the dentist character the actor (Doug Stills) becomes other different minor characters. There is a part where Seymour is talking to one of these minor characters and Seymour has a soliloquy. The minor character is then stuck in the shadows right in front of me. I'm trying not to stare at him cuz he is staring me right in the face and making faces at me in the shadows he was very distracting and knew I couldn‘t help looking at him and laughing at him. (meg- hhahahaha it was creepy hahaha) The end was the best, (meg- oh man!)the plant grew to be the size of the stage and at the very end it stretched out like 7 rows into the crowd and started to move around like pretending to eat people. (meg- during those famous lyrics, "dont feed the plants!") It was the coolest thing ever! (meg- that plant was right in my face! i'm like thats cool and AHH! b/c it opened its mouth and i thought it was gonna kill me!) Ok the show ends and Meg and I decide to hit up the stage door to see if we can meet people. (meg- hold on! first off we go over and wait by the wrong door. then we looked down the street and see a baracaded entrance so we go over there and i go "how do we know this is the stage door?" and court points at the door and BIG BOLD LETTERS across it says STAGE ENTRANCE. otherwise we would have been waiting for the people coming out of a bank.) We met the entire Original Broadway cast of Little Shop Of Horrors! Oh Man! It was so cool and they were so nice. The Craziest guy was Doug Stills the one who was the dentist, he was as Gay as the day is long! He was so funny, and he was gave acting advice (meg- he told us the most important thing to ever be is fearless. fearless in all you do and nothing will stop you.) and was making fun of these people form California. (meg- who seemed VERY lost) All in all it was the best random trip to the city ever! The Next Friday the 13th is in August Meg … Lets hit up the city. (meg- not a problem!) To Damien and Stu I Hope Nothing bad happened at the Sausage Fest. (meg- oh im sure they had fun. chastity belts? what?) To every one Else GO SEE LITTLE SHOP!
WHOO-HOO! it was such a great trip! you rock court!_____________________________________________________
in other news, saturday officially sucked. it WAS emma's bday ::insert big shoutout here::, but working at TGIF's was horrible. first off, everyone working that day didnt ask off b/c they didnt have a valentine to spend the day with. so everyone was depressed. and second- everyone coming to eat was with their valentine so us seeing them just made us mad. so we were all depressed and mad. good combination for hosts and servers. "welcome to fridays where everyones miserable and hallmark day can just suck my ass. the soup of the day is split pea and your server will be nicols. enjoy your meal". so after work i came home and watched spaceballs. how sad is that?
