I went with a college friend who was a Swiss citizen but had a student visa to get a SSN so she could do a work-study job on campus. (Boy was it boring.)
ETA: The videos are now diamonds!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

some group had sent a list of alleged illegal immigrants to authorities in Utah-including their social security numbers. The blurb must be leaving out something, because otherwise?
The group is allegedly anonymous, and there are many people in Utah who don't give a damn about ethics/legality/whatever if there's a chance to oppress someone who may be illegal--or just looks illegal, ie, Hispanic. The argument with using hte SS#s is that "obviously" the numbers were acquired illegally.
This is not a pretty place to be if you're not of the "undocumented residents are of the devil, throw them and their children somewhere else, and let's amend the Constitution while we're at it" POV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And again, with the not mentioning Me!. What's up with that?
I'm obviously a horrible person. Or I'm just trying to be nice to Amy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Isn't a social security number necessary to officially work here? I'm pretty sure my mother had one.
But then she wasn't illegal.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
After finding the answer to be no, I revised my email to talk about the weather instead. Close call.
Yikes.
What's a bit of B&E between friends?
It's not B&E, it's... pool sitting! He should totally pay you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congrats on the move, msbelle. Best advice I ever got was to be aware that we are hard-wired to be freaked out for about 6 weeks after a move, no matter how much we plan for it or how much we are happy about it. So give yourself extra room to have odd moods and lose things and not sleep and whatever else as you settle in. And Mac, too, of course.
