Out-cooled by a younger sibling

I tell you, those damn Princeton kids. Not only do they actually dare make it into Princeton (while you weren’t so lucky as to even score a measly interview), JUST so that they could throw it into your non-Ivy-League-going face, they also apparently think its acceptable to get summer internships at top NYC PR firms, go to Hard Rock Cafe, hang out with the creators of Guitar Hero and a little band called AEROSMITH (all under the premise of doing actual work, of course), and then bring home staff passes to said event so they could wave it non-chalantly in front of you, and say lazily, “hey, do you want this?”
And then, when your stunned ass asks them what they are doing with it, they kindly explain that they got to be within inches of the Aerosmith guitarists as they exchanged pleasantries with the GH guys - and then innocently inquire whether “you know that game?”
Ok, I am exaggerating a bit, but still, if she wasn’t my own sister, I swear I’d strangle her with my own three hands and twelve toes.
At least I had the good judgement to swap out her lunch for a Monkey Island CD one day when she was around 12, so she is actually not a total video game ignoramus, and can tell a good video game from a horse’s ass.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in that corner there, brooding and weeping a little bit. All by myself. Without Aerosmith.

That’s awesome that she got to hang out and enjoy the cool party… but all I keep thinking of is, “Exclusive interview… lots of hits… damnit!!!” haha

Yeah, tell me about it. Well, I guess she gets away with not scoring one for us for now since she is still just an intern. But once she gets a full time job all bets are off!
