Citibank: making it easier for your ungrateful privileged teenager to explore adulthood in a haze of basement parties and jungle juice
said the girl who never lied to her parents ever not even once
Hey I'm not condemning fictional college girl in the ad, I just have to laugh at the example of the incontrovertible benefits of mobile banking with Citibank they're trying to sell
in that case can you send me $50 for a chemistry book
Sure ludious you're totally legit and with my swanky citibank account and mobile app transferring the fund is as easy as ABC
Just send me your banking information, account number, and your usernames and passwords to everything
Okay, sure
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU WENT TO WHORE ACADEMY!
Almost had me there, space prostitute
Whore Academy is a legitimate and accredited educational institution!
Yeah! Earning credits there is back breaking work! You are always stretched thin! There are a lot of sticky situations!

Everytime I hear "Space Whore Academy" this song pops into my head.
BY day the skyscraper looms in the smoke and sun and
has a soul.
Prairie and valley, streets of the city, pour people into
it and they mingle among its twenty floors and are
poured out again back to the streets, prairies and
valleys.
It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and
out all day that give the building a soul of dreams
and thoughts and memories.
(Dumped in the sea or fixed in a desert, who would care
for the building or speak its name or ask a policeman
the way to it?)
Elevators slide on their cables and tubes catch letters and
parcels and iron pipes carry gas and water in and
sewage out.
Wires climb with secrets, carry light and carry words,
and tell terrors and profits and loves--curses of men
grappling plans of business and questions of women
in plots of love.
Hour by hour the caissons reach down to the rock of the
earth and hold the building to a turning planet.
Hour by hour the girders play as ribs and reach out and
hold together the stone walls and floors.
Hour by hour the hand of the mason and the stuff of the
mortar clinch the pieces and parts to the shape an
architect voted.
Hour by hour the sun and the rain, the air and the rust,
and the press of time running into centuries, play
on the building inside and out and use it.
Men who sunk the pilings and mixed the mortar are laid
in graves where the wind whistles a wild song
without words
And so are men who strung the wires and fixed the pipes
and tubes and those who saw it rise floor by floor.
Souls of them all are here, even the hod carrier begging
at back doors hundreds of miles away and the brick-
layer who went to state's prison for shooting another
man while drunk.
(One man fell from a girder and broke his neck at the
end of a straight plunge--he is here--his soul has
gone into the stones of the building.)
On the office doors from tier to tier--hundreds of names
and each name standing for a face written across
with a dead child, a passionate lover, a driving
ambition for a million dollar business or a lobster's
ease of life.
Behind the signs on the doors they work and the walls
tell nothing from room to room.
Ten-dollar-a-week stenographers take letters from
corporation officers, lawyers, efficiency engineers,
and tons of letters go bundled from the building to all
ends of the earth.
Smiles and tears of each office girl go into the soul of
the building just the same as the master-men who
rule the building.
Hands of clocks turn to noon hours and each floor
empties its men and women who go away and eat
and come back to work.
Toward the end of the afternoon all work slackens and
all jobs go slower as the people feel day closing on
them.
One by one the floors are emptied. . . The uniformed
elevator men are gone. Pails clang. . . Scrubbers
work, talking in foreign tongues. Broom and water
and mop clean from the floors human dust and spit,
and machine grime of the day.
Spelled in electric fire on the roof are words telling
miles of houses and people where to buy a thing for
money. The sign speaks till midnight.
Darkness on the hallways. Voices echo. Silence
holds. . . Watchmen walk slow from floor to floor
and try the doors. Revolvers bulge from their hip
pockets. . . Steel safes stand in corners. Money
is stacked in them.
A young watchman leans at a window and sees the lights
of barges butting their way across a harbor, nets of
red and white lanterns in a railroad yard, and a span
of glooms splashed with lines of white and blurs of
crosses and clusters over the sleeping city.
By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars
and has a soul.
"So I think I triggered a mild paradox. Since I wrote that blurb about "don't message me, I'll message you," I haven't received one cringe inducing email. In fact now I tend to get more messages and the girls that send them, like yourself, seem attractive and intelligent. The problem is that you are all doing the one thing I explicitly said not to do. If I make an exception for someone then the very first thing I do in the relationship, if it even goes that way, is to compromise my integrity. That isn't the type of precedent I want to set so unfortunately I'm afraid this can't go anywhere even though you sound like a lot of fun."

at first, each character is frightened, terrified even - they want nothing more than to turn down at all costs. but they soon realize the futility of resistance, they succumb to the kafkaesque inevitability of turning up. with all earthly worries released, the true power of the dong can be unleashed
*nods slowly*
when the guy and first lady crash through the second ceiling and immediately start dancing I was ready to embrace the stupidity and fun

I think my favorite thing about my piano (I may have said this already) is that I can turn it off and then RIGHT BACK ON IF I NEED TO
I realize this is mindblowing to no one but the only other piece of equipment I use that I turn on and off is a fluorescent microscope and if I flip the on/off switch within like twenty minutes of having flipped it I damage the fluorescent lamp.

Speaking from experience?
No. I should have been more irresponsible in college
I would have benefitted greatly from experimentation.
I probably would have benefited a lot if I wasn't so neurotic in college. Also, if I didn't major in architecture and actually had free time. But then, I wouldn't be who I am today, so...

Eh
At least wrt gender stuff I set myself way the fuck back, possibly permanently, by not acting sooner, so being less neurotic and experimenting more in that regards would be good. But I could probably also stand to have been more generally adventurous and done more things/tried to be more social.
