Okay. I'm going to attempt a report here.
Lets make it a trip report as well.
First, Steph and I were hella early getting ready for our flight. I woke up at the ass crack of seven and ran to take a shower. Then quickly dressing and finishing the final packing I realized........I packed incorrectly and repacked my stuff. I found out later that this was all for naught since it wasn't NEARLY as cold as I thought it was gonna be. So anyway, I got all my preperations ready, stopped by work to pick up some breakfast, swung by the bank for a little extra cash(meaning I cleaned out my car of all its coins) and still had over an hour to spare. Right before we were leaving for the airport......my worst fear happened. I started my period >8( I caught it in time but it still was super shitty.
So off we went to the airport, we got on our rickety continental flight where it was ENTIRELY full for a fairly small plane and off we went. I had an old man next to me and on the other side was a super bitchy lady. Because the flight was full Steph was sitting in the seat in front of me. We both attempted to do our homework on the plane. I was reading a book for my art history class which has yet to prove an interesting read or even seem like something that's a useful tool for the class. Needless to say...I kept falling asleep. Our in flight meal was a nasty turkey hot dog(btw...i hate hot dogs. Its the one food I've hated since a kid and still hate) with a crappy salad and a kit kat bar 8D
We landed in New York, hella excited but noticed that it was raining. Sad day. But we kept lauhging because I was like "I CAN'T LET THE RAIN TOUCH MY HAIR! IT'LL CURL.....GORO-CHAN IS UPSET TOO!"
I'd imagine he was, even though he was probably already safely tucked away in a plane where the evils of flat iron failure couldn't hurt him.
We call for our shuttle, wait a while, the guy kept saying Chalise instead of Chagin (which started me on saying Steph's name wrong on purpose for a long time until she snapped at me 8D)
eventually it was figured out and off we went again.
We get to the hotel and it LOOKED like it was this super dingle motel in the middle of the ghetto were we'd get jumped for our juice money. I apparently forgot that the reason I chose the hotel was because it literally was one street away from Bryant Park and just off Broadway. It was on 7th, only two down from 5th avenue!!
Prime location actually. The only problem with the hotel it self was the beds were SUPER loud, the bathroom was down the hall again and the first night the bedroom was super crazy hot. We ended up sleeping with our heads at the foot of the beds because the matress was kinda fucked up.
Second day: Day of the play. First we set out for some shopping. First stop: Nintendo Store. TOTALLY AWESOOOOOOME. The pokemon selection was pretty sparce T_T The Wobuffet shirt was in youth size only and I was greatly saddened. All the dolls were Jakks dolls so it wasn't as big a find as we had hoped. BUT I still picked up some choice Tomy figures. I also got a new Zelda shirt that is too small for my big boobs T_T
Then we wandered around a while, found an omiyage store that had this great muscat grape sherbet and pumpkin manjuu. SOOOO YUMMYYYYYY. We hit the Disney store and then started heading back towards the hotel. Somewhere around here......Steph's mom called. And there was much unhappiness over Pastrami.
We get back to the hotel and try to recover. I was exhausted (second day is the worst for me) and Steph was pretty beat too. So we laid down and watched the food network or something for a while. The time to get ready finally rolled around and well...we did. My dress was SUPER RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD but...my boobs are once again too big so I had to put a tank top underneath. It worked out well though but there was much cleavage left >_>;;;
We hail a cab and off we went to NYU. We. Were. Hella. EXCITED. I've been equating this to when you leave a pot of water on to boil with a lid on. On the outside you can tell that something's going on but its still pretty still. Then you open the lid and you see all the bubbling inside. Put the lid back on and forget and all of a sudden the lid starts rattling around becuase of the pressure. That was...........everyone going to the play. The fangirl beast in me was clawing to escape. CLAWING!!!
We get in. We sit down and we giggle that there are two guys next to us. Totally having a date 8D
Then the lights went out and I nearly plotzed. The stage is a really simple stage, two big curtains to let you know the settings in a Psychologists lecture/meeting/ presentation. The same four people are playing all the parts. Except I thing Dyson was just Dyson.
So Dyson comes out first and sets up everyone with a couple laughs.
Not many laughed at his jokes. I think its because they were too excited, they didn't know how this play was gonna go(me) or they didn't understand english. Dyson was our translator for the night so to speak. The parts that were spoken in Japanese ended up getting translated. ...per seeeeey.
When he made his stupid joke though I totally laughed. Give me a pun and I'll crack up. I'm simple.
Okay, then the "Assistants" come out. And right smack in the middle. The Giant that is Shingo. When they came out it took me a second to fathom it. For some reason there was disbelief for have a second. It didn't last. You can't fight the fangirl that easily.
Luckily I didn't scream. Actually, I behaved myself fairly well I think. I had to grab the hem of my dress and Steph's wrist at certain points, but other than that I think I was a good girl.
The Assistants are the ones acting out the entire play. We're watching a play...perform a play, so to speak.
( Cut because of epic length )When they came out for the final bow we were clapping SO HARD. As soon as final bow started Steph and I jumped up to applaude (some people didn't. Annoying >8( )
When The male assistant(aka brother, aka okama manager aka Tarlow's friends from school) we were like "YEAAAH~! *claps super hard*" Then Dyson came out and I clapped super hard too.
Then the girl came out and we were like "Y..yaaaaay!" We liked her but we were saving our best clapping for SHINGOOO~!!! *CLAPS AS HARD AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT SHATTERING BONES IN MY HAND AND SHOUTING WOOOOOO AT THE SAME TIME!!!*
Oh man. It was so great. And right before he ran back on stage he ran to the front of the stage and picked up an imaginary thing from the ground and ate it (he'd been doing that the entire play).
Ho-man. Such a good time.
So after the play I had to go to the bathroom for stupid girl reasons. The bathrooms were packed so, using the cleverness of me we went upstairs where there was no one. Great idea right? WRONG We couldn't get back to the first floor. We went up and down the elevators like twice before we managed to get outside. We noticed the groupies hanging out by the back door and I considered it but didn't feel like stalking. So we hail a cab and head back to the hotel singing the entire time.
We get to our hotel, I open the door and....
MY PHONE FLIES OUT THE DOOR AND ONTO THE GROUND! What's under the taxi? A GIANT RAIN GRATE!!!
In slow motion I watched it fall and I screamed and luckily as it hit the ground it hit the grate and popped open. It landed flat perpendicular to the way the grate holes were. But man...worst moment of my life so far. Seeing my phone fall and nothing I can do. *shudder*
Okay so we get to the hotel and thankfully the hotel now has running hot water only the hot water is for some reason on backwards so it wasn't quite that hot. We head to bed and BAM. We're out like a light.
The next day, we dick around a bit and head to Kinokuniya. Who's waiting for me with their smiling faces on the cover of An An? Oh just SMAP XD
Actually I saw Goro and zoomed across the store. Picked up two magazines PS: steph take this effin' news poster, I don't want it XD
We head back to the airport and that was pretty much it.
Luckily on our two flights home we had an extra seat between us so we could put all our crap in it.
The end.
PS: The husband jokes are getting out of hand XD
