Remember my backstory of sneaking into the original ceremony, trying to pay to be official, getting shot down, fighting those bitches for a fucking year to get in only for my dad? Yeah, let's add to that.
So, I had anticipated having to pay for the nerd club stole/tassel/whatever shit because nothing is ever free anymore. I hadn't expected it to be as expensive as it is- the stole is $20, the fucking tassel is $10. How do you justify charging that much for a wad of string and a plastic tag of the year? Those together are almost as much as the cap and gown were. I can't not get them because, just like being in the nerd club, is important to my dad. I feel guilty spending that much on this crap that has no sentimental value for me, but... it is what it is.
Back to the bitches- I have to be given a fancy membership card and number to log into the stupid website where THEY (the manufacturers) double check to make damn sure you're really in PTK. I have to be approved by the counselor woman again, even though I already paid and am a member. She has to verify it before the PTK people will let me buy their fancy crap.
Just shove it.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
...I could do it for you. Your choice.
Also, while I wait for the shit-head office person to verify they FINALLY let me the fuck in, I'm losing time from the website. That's right- I have to order this shit online from that one fucking site. Then, because those PTK bitches didn't tell me I couldn't buy the decorative stuff from the campus bookstore (like I could for the cap and gown), I'm going to have pay a lot more to get rush delivery and just hope I get this crap in time.
I have 6 days (including today). I can't buy anything until I can get them to verify, but I have to wait until Monday to sort this out/buy the crap with hopefully next day shipping. It is Saturday. Graduation is Friday. I have 5 days and I'm not sure if they have rush delivery.
I hate those fucking bitches.
Also, they won't announce me as Lauren Waitforit McCaskill, as I had written in on the graduation announcement paper. It said "your preferred name." That is what I preferred. Again, you may shove it.
The ONLY thing that takes me from 'kill mode' into 'violently maim everyone mode,' is that they will announce that I'm PTK, despite not really being in when I was told that I technically graduated. So, worst case scenario, dad will hear I'm in the nerd club, even if I don't look fancy.
But the pictures with the fancy crap makes it look official. I won't have to explain this long ass story of really being accepted, sneaking in, rejected, blah, blah, blah... It'll be at a glance I'm fancy.
In summary- fuck you bitches and shove it. Hard. Cross one more line and I will maim you.
