I had a funny thing happen when I ordered my T-Shirt this morning, I went through all the steps, got to the bit where it says to be ready with payment details so I got my card and clicked, but instead of going to the page for me to put in my details it went straight to the 'Thank You for your purchase' page. I got the automated e-mails right away, but I'm confused, how can the payment have gone through, when I didn't put in my card details?

You girls seriously rock
*hands out blue and green jello, b/c not only does lime rock almost as much as much as raspberry, the system wouldn't let me green everyone... *


Um...what are we collecting, just outta curiousity?
Will she accept jello as a valid form of currency?
*bats eyelashes sweetly*

She will. But only blue because I can't get it here. It's a rare delicacy that gets smuggled to me a few times a year. This is a first world country fcol, how can we NOT have blue jello!?

[ames]

Tracy is currently eating my stash, however I will bring more back with me

I reached a major milestone today:

MY PASSPORT APPLICATION IS OFF!

As you all know, I couldn't get a birth certificate from California before the trip. I tried going the county route, and they seemed unable to do it either. In the US, you have to have a birth certificate to get a passport, so I was stuck.

I went by the post office and asked their passport person what to try next. She didn't know, but she gave me a phone number that was actually available to use. She also suggested that I keep calling until someone could tell me what to do.

I called and finally got an answer from person #4. All I needed to do was download another form and pay another $60, and they would research the old passport to get verification of citizenship. Parts of the form didn't make sense, and the information was unfindable online (What's a PAP form or a contact point anyway anyway?). I traipsed down to the post office anyway, showed the passport queen my stuff, and she was on a roll. She checked every last blank on my forms, corrected the part I had done incorrectly, and got the packet sent off on Express mail for expedited processing. It should make it back to me with some time to spare.

She said I am the only person she has ever had submit the passport search form. No wonder I didn't get my hands on the information earlier.

For all of you who did your own searches for me or expressed moral support. I really appreciate it. Just goes to show you the caliber of the people I'm going to meet.

YOU ALL ROCK!

Is there anyone going to the con who is staying that next week and would be interested in sharing a room? Suse and I are looking at a triple, and there are only the two of us.
