An inspiring tale.
In case you didn’t know, there’s a Twitter account called @ireland, which is operated by a different Irish Twitter-user each week.
This week, it’s a young man by the name of Youssef Sarhan (who usually tweets from the account @YS), and boy does he have some stories.
There is simply no doubt, however, that the best thing he’s offered up so far is the story of how he snuck into Kanye West’s bedroom. Here’s the full thing, told through tweets:
Okay, here's the story of how I snuck into Kanye West's Bedroom. 😂😂

One day, a friend calls me last minute, asking if I want to see @kanyewest, he was playing at @flowfestival. She got free tickets.

So, we go to the gig, it was awesome. The man knows how to put on a show. Great buzz. pic.twitter.com/ZwYFBP1zym

But Alex and I, my Russian friend, can't get a taxi, way too many people, it's a day-festival. We're running late. 😱

They exchange some words, nods, looks, and next thing I'm sitting on cream leather, in the back of an s-class, speeding to the hotel. 😂

Alex and I are having doubts. We hear tunes from one of the Windows, figured that was it. But it's looking bad, security at the door. eek!

So we put on our of-course-we-are-staying-at-this-hotel swagger, and march right up to the door. Give security a nod, we're in. It worked.

This is when Alex has a genius idea. She pretends she needs to get sick, and makes a b-line for the restroom.

As she slinks off, she gives me the name of her friend staying there, the one Kanye is in love with. 😱

Me: "so, my friend, Olesya, she's not feeling so well, and she lost her room key, could you issue a new one?"
— Ireland / Rohana – LeCheileDND (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Reception: "oh okay sir, no problem, let me get you that right away."
*obtains room-key*
*achievement unlocked*🙈

Once again, we put on our of-course-we-are-supposed-to-be-in-kanyes-bedroom swagger, and march in.
— Ireland / Rohana – LeCheileDND (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Everything sounds like we're underwater, everyone is looking at us, we are naked.
NOOO!!!! 😱😱😱

Of course, I needed to document it without looking like a fan. So, no better way than with a bathroom mirror selfie😜 pic.twitter.com/RqxBXXkH7R

And the funniest bit? Like, the really fun part?
They were playing ALL Kanye's music, but I'm not complaining, his stuff bangs.☺️

And that's the story of how I snuck into Kanye West's bedroom.
