These vagabond shoes

Sep 14, 2006 11:49

I am leaving for Noo Yawk in EIGHT HOURS OMG. This is so exciting that I can't concentrate properly on my work, but neither can anyone else - between a couple of other people's holiday plans and the company's summer party this afternoon, today has a definite end-of-term feeling. Which is just fine by me ( Read more... )

I was thinking of that - I could fake an MA in Renaissance Studies at QM with no trouble. But although this is not the point of the exercise at all, it's not as fun as some of the other options...

And yes, that's my thought exactly! 'Kill all the lawyers' is a sentiment you can get behind. 'Fear all the journalists' is really kind of worrying.

Lol! I have The Paranoid Fear too :)

You know, you have to tick a little box on the immigration form to say that you're not trying to enter the country to commit acts of terrorism and/or crime. I would imagine that Do Not Tick The Box Marked Yes is something that would be covered on the first day of terrorism school. But there you go.

See, you could say you're a "writer".

And then when they ask you for more information, you could look kind of uncomfortable, and say, "um. I'm a genre writer."

And THEN when they ask you to explain that, you could go, "OK, OK, GOD, I WRITE PORNOGRAPHY, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR? I WRITE PORNOGRAPHY! God."

... because I think that would be really funny. But maybe not a good idea. ;) Have a safe and awesome trip!

*falls over laughing*

My lesson from UK immigration is do not admit to being unemployed, because they will assume that you mean to stay forever and ever. *headdesk*

Hahahahahahahaha! That is BRILLIANT! As it turned out, the immigration guy was so knackered from his double shift that he couldn't be bothered to ask me what it was that I did. Which is probably just as well as I would totally have used that and then who knows what would have happened?

Say you're in retail. America is the home of Wal-Mart, and will think so little of their wage-slave staff that they would never suspect such a person has the mental capacity to be in the slightest bit dangerous.
