Aw. And 1500$ later my Joe Joe can come take me away, right? Thank you for the thought.

Pssh, money ain't no thang! I'll hide you in my pocket and bring you here on my way back. And feed you pretzels and ice cubes on the plane.

It's as simple as this:

I'll call up Matt & Kenny and tile an extra bathroom or roof another house over Xmas break, and send you the check so you can buy a plane ticket! Then, um, you can come live with us. When you take the "geniuses-looking-for-money" test here @MSU, they'll pay for you...and...Laurence can pick us up and we can go see Andy in Canada on the weekends!

This is assuming, of course, that you want to run away. And don't worry about bringing clothes. I have at least one spoiled cousin who wears a double zero. You can go shopping in her closet.

Gee, the only thing you have left to worry about is Laurence's dog. Looks like you'll be coming to my Thanksgiving.

i tell ya... we're just the three musketeers over here.

first of all, i'm with joe on this one. we WILL meet. even if i have to wear a dishdasha and ride in on a camel (although, we all know that wouldn't be a such bad thing... i sort of enjoy the idea). lemonade, squirrels, parks with trees, american baseball games & ballpark hotdogs, thanksgiving, snowmen, snow forts, snowball fights, sledding, ice skating, etc. we're doing all of it. no if's and's or but's. got it?

second of all, my other wingman here, miss verstraete, is getting the idea. let's put it this way: i've got enough cash in my bank to pay for a ticket for you right now. the three of us would GLADLY dish some money together and buy you a ONE-WAY

son of a foolface! i hate woohu. i expect you'll delete all of this for me and i'll re-write it all nicely. anyway, for now, so you're not confused.... i left off at "one way"...

we'll buy you a one-way ticket in a flash! you'd have to swallow that toto pride and just let us do it. and of course you'd wanna pay us back (although you just being here with us would be enough, right musketeers?), we'd let you. like elle said, you'd have to be willing to sever ties with the family. then (this is danielle's genius) we make you a prominent figure in the US so if any kuwaitis try to get you back, the media will be all over it and you'll be safe. and i'm sure if you marry joe once you're here, that would be good protection, too. those skinny arab guys will be scared of our burly italian stallion. i'm liking the idea of MSU paying for you. if that doesn't work, you could get financial aid from the US government. you can also borrow my clothes, although they'll be huge for you... and my dog is nothing to be afraid of! come to MY thanksgiving and sing egyptian songs to us!

no no no Laurence, international students can't get financial aid...hence FAFSA = Federal. That's why she has to take a genius test and get money purely based on her academic hotness.

lmao did you just say "italian stallion?" I think I hurt my hand slapping the desk with that one. Remember the last stallion we knew? I think he was from...THE CRUCIBLE!!!

Re: Re: Re:, 12-11-04 10:39pm

ohh.. oops. but i thought you said if she claimed independence from her parents she could get aid? does she have to become a friggin US citizen first? damn it, this stuff isn't my strong suit. *shrugs* whatever. we'll figure something out!

ahhhh what's the abigail line about sweating like a stallion? didn't nicole have to read that part?

stop slapping the desk, people are gonna think you have tourette's or something.

the marriage sham!, 12-11-04 11:09pm

danielle says that if faygo were to "marry" an american man (i.e. ME or JOE), she could get a green card and therefore, federal aid. so, we basically take advantage of the "sacred institution" and use it to get you through college. after that, you just divorce whichever one of us you "marry," and voila! so, it wouldn't be "love marriage," it would all be in the name of education and freedom! no strings attached, no guilt, nothing! green card marriage, huzzah!

hey GW, this is what HETEROSEXUALS do with marriage.

Re: the marriage sham!, 12-11-04 11:12pm

No no no! You're taken. She has to marry Joe. Alyssa doesn't want you calling Fay "ex-wife" for the rest of your lives.

DUH

Re: Re: the marriage sham!, 12-11-04 11:54pm

ps--we need to look into the details...to see how fast marriage actually speeds things along...because if it isn't spectactularly immediate, i don't want to subject my two dear friends to my least favorite institution.

It is as 'immediete' as one can get, but I doubt that it marrying a foreigner would be a very fast process, Jo might have to sue her dad to be allowed to marry him legally, and Joe would have to prove that he's a Muslim, an all-in-all good man, and worthy of marrying her.

Marrying a Kuwaiti friend that both her parents approve of that way would be a much faster process.

Jo, you can get out. You can get out, I can get out. We can do it. It may take more time that anyone expected, but it will happen. And it may time some dirty tricks and lies, some pushing and scratching and screaming to get your way. But the result is the same-- getting out. Just have some faith in the fact, because I certainly have faith in you.

I heart you, my arab pea! -hugs-
