It seems Buffalo's fingerprinting department is a one man show. He was on vaca forever. Then he yelled at me saying, "You're just trying to make things difficult for me aren't you" when I told him I do not have my own card.
Silly me to assume a fingerprinting office has the actual cards you get fingerprinted on. No, I have to call Albany to have them mail me a card because my employer from the middle east did not supply me with a NYS identification recorder. True story.
I'm so far behind in the process now I probably won't make my leave date of July 16.

shades of aquaCategory: dream
I had such a beautiful dream last night. I was walking through a lovely forest full of redwoods and giant ferns. The sun was beaming strands of brilliant light to the forest floor. I could hear a few insects, a few birds, but I knew I was alone. I came upon a small hot spring. The surface sparkled in shades of aqua. I removed my clothes and slipped in. I drifted in the floating abyss. I was overcome with peace and happiness. I wanted to stay there forever.

bus bombsCategory: potpourri
yah. i've upgraded. car bombs aren't enough for this gal. i created the bus bomb. it's super sized guinness gluttony at its finest! woot.

I forgot about your photo page I'll have to check that out. The talk of Guiness reminded me that I have been watching a goofy comedy called Beerfest (it is by the Broken Lizard boys). Some of the special features are pretty good. I give anyone who can drink Guiness credit I think I have had Syryup that was less thick. I can't Imagine Car bombs let alone Bus Bombs I'm guessing the next size up will Be Semi or maybe evern 747 bombs. In any glad you had a great time and I hope you keep having a great time.

the vortex of youCategory: poetry
My shell might be tough. My eyes may be vacant. But there is still a soul in here. Push me out the door on a lonely road. My hands and knees aren't wounded. But my veins still run with blood. I'm not a fucking super hero. I don't always know the answer. But I do what I think is right. I fight to protect the genuine. You call me a monster.
Will the weak. Feed the fire. Propagate the pitiful. Clap for the crazy.
Why can't you SEE???

son of a motherless goat!Category: potpourri
I just got an e-mail that says in fact they screwed up and I do have to take ALL of those medical exams before I leave!
I don't even have a doctor here. Supposedly the lady I saw in high school might still be around but I don't think a small town doctor can do all those tests. How do you even walk into an office and say "I'd like chest x-ray please". It's not like they give you a hypochondriacs menu to select your testing options.
I attended a bachelorette party at the Chocolate Bar last night. The place is a lot smaller and not as fancy as I imagined it. These two older guys were hitting on us and it was pretty gross. Seriously, they approached me and said, "We just want to put it out there that we both got waxed today. Our backs are clean". Who SAYS that???

SOrry about all the difficulties. A freind of mine keeps telling me it is all in the stars, maybe I should take up astrology to chart when these types of crazy things will end. Oh Mercury was in rerograde from Friday to Saturday. Maybe monday will bring a better time of it!
I always get hit on by older men and they are old enough to be my father! SIGH I hear you. At least we both know when we are old and wrinkly we will still be attractive to the older generation. Remember to take the complement as well as the joke in stride. The older men have the courage and insanity to come up to you. I did not say they had any control over what came out of their mouths! Maybe they were just nervous. Maybe they thought is was funny. Maybe they just did not want to keep talking to the same person that they came into the bar with and that was the best they could do as the goddess of you passed them buy between the bar and your table. Did you have a good time?! Maybe we should celebrate being single instead of commiserating and thinking we should be with someone... what do you think? Stray thought popping out of no where! -Dimartiste

Hey, on another subject, thanks for the Tae Kwon Do advice. I followed what you wrote today. He did indeed get bopped in the face again, but instead took some pointers and got back in there, leaving class smiling.
:)
I appreciate it.

I just thought of something. That is the difference between Guys and Gals. See if an older (not so older that she is old)lady came up and did that to a guy it would be so hot. But when us guys come up to some girl it comes off as creppy. I guess they thought the entire wax thing was funny, at least they added the back part cause if not then it would be even crepier. To give it a positive spin maybe they looked older then they where. To add a little bit more positive light you get hit on in one night more then I get hit on in like a year or two or maybe event 3 or 4. Granted I'm a guy but still. If a girl crashes into me its is allways "sorry". Being a guy I can't go something like "Oh no actully I liked that next time hit me a little Harder" If they are with someone that is how fist fights happen. In any event I hope you still had a good time, and I wish you luck with getting those tests.

Before we get to the serious stuff I just have to joke around a little bit (sorry) in your posts it seems you have no luck I can remember a little bit of a post from what seems like ages ago where you said something about how people don't come up to you in bars if you campaired this one to that one now the people who come up to you, you don't want very ironic, ah but what ya gonna do. Be happy that they at least came up to you, It is only creppy if they have a daughter your age.
Now in terms of seriousness I have no idea how you get all those tests done. If you have any paper work that states you need those tests done then if you can find someone to do them it might work. I have faith that you will find someone or someplace to get them done.

I'm going to throw all seriousness out the door right now and say that all you problems could be solved by commiting a crime. Commit a vechilur homicide they would take you to a hospital since you where hurt and give you all kinds of tests then the police would finger print you and you would be good to go except the not being allowed to leave thing. But seriously for a minute I can't belive How crazzy everything you have to do is. If you have a young kid they have all these police programs where you can get them fingerprinted. One would think that the place you get finger printed would have the cards to put them on. I don't know what was said by you and what tone of voices you both used but I still can't believe the guy yelled at you, that is insane.
Sucks the process is going along sluggishly. Red tape is frustrating as hell.
Too bad you can't just drive to Albany and omit the wait. When i had to get fingerprinted for my immigration, we had to drive from Knoxville to Nashville (about 4 hours). Even though Knoxville had federal offices, they didn't handle fingerprinting there. So off to Nashville we went for our appointment there. And that experience, as they say, is another story entirely.
