Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm thinking of giving CJ a passport for his 18th birthday. Right of passage kind of thing. Is that totally dorky?
One nice thing about our apartment complex is that we haven't gotten any god people here. The closest we get to solisitation are flyers hung on our door. But it also means we don't get trick or treaters. Heck of a trade off.
Is that totally dorky?
I'm not sure how much he'll appreciate it immediately but it's a fabulous gift for looking back. You are, literally, giving him access to nearly the whole world.
It's a great gift, though you'd want to technically do it AFTER his birthday so it's good for 10 years instead of 5, I'd think.
You get a 10-year adult passport from age 16 on. So any time is good.
Right - was going to fill out the application, have the money, and give that to him to sign. Then he would get the photo and go submit the application whenever he wanted, without parental assistance.
As any almost 18 year old, he has been mulling over all the new things he COULD do after his birthday, whether they are things he would do or not. He hasn't considered this one. (I know he could get an adult passport now, but I'd have to give my permission and be with him.)
Timelies all!
Having lunch.
That sounds like a great idea, Suzi.
I just registered for a triathlon in September. I hope that turns out to be a good decision.
I have lost my first passport (maybe Mummy has it?), but Jamaica gives 10 year passports from the get go. How incredibly useful, but I liked the stop motion--I got my first one before I was one, so there's basically propped up infant, awkward prepubescent, and then a sequence of different haircuts. Not all that much change since 20.
I was scared they wouldn't send me my last one back (I let it slide for a long time because I had a US passport, but it's not just a gesture (I'm not flipping my finger at the US mono citizenship, it's just something they can't take from me)--it's important to me to have.
I've been all blathery about redbubble and printing my stuff like I'm the first person to discover it. It's not pride, or concern no one will buy (I consider it my shop for me), but how do you get over the hump that *your* work doesn't deserve framing and hanging, even (or especially) in your own home? Is it a fake it till you make it situation? dA let me order the one msbelle recommended (said the other was an IP violation--same character, both named in the description--maybe it's the face showing? And my statement that it wasn't how it happened in the show?--but people put screencaps up for sale, so they gotta do something). Now I'm staring at redbubble thinking--original work? Could I capitalise on my mother's love of orchids (we think she's named them all--she has near 100) and draw something beautiful enough for her? Wall beautiful, not fridge beautiful, I mean.
How can it not be? (note: reply to -t about signing up for triathlon)
Chef was sweet and funny. And made me SO HUNGRY watching it, so eat first or plan to have dinner right afterwards.
