For those of you who know about my ongoing citizenship plight...

I'M GOING TO JACKSONVILLE!

You heard right, kids. October 30th my tushie will be at the University of North Florida bright and spankin' early at 9 a.m. to swear to being a non-Communist, service-willing, law-abiding non-alcoholic, who is a monogamist in good standing, uninvolved with any "unlawful, commercialized vice," and of the utmost unimpeachable character so they'll in return give me a certificate and the right to not have my vote properly counted.

I can't wait.

Yay! Congrats, hon. Welcome to our big dysfunctional family.

*still running around in hyper little circles*

It's just been so long in coming and finally, finally! Thirteen years ought to be enough to consider someone a permanent houseguest, eh? It's good to know I'm still welcome though. *g*

Congratulations! You must be so excited!!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

I am! I am so, so excited. There have been such a ridiculous number of bumps in the road, and it's been dragged out for so long, but instead of just sitting back and saying "finally!" I'm intensely excited about actually getting the news.

Thank you!

Cogratulations! That's wonderful!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Oh, man is that a fantastic icon. *g* And yes! So, so excited. Thank you!

Congratulations! It's good to see that you have to swear against being a slasher. Whew! I'd sure hate to have to lie underoath about that, ;-).

[miafeliz.livejournal.com]

Um... wait a minute. I meant... it's good that you don't have to swear against being a slasher. Sheesh... you think I'd get it right the first time.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

I'm actually one of the freaky few who will openly admit to writing slash. But yes, 'tis a very good thing indeed that we don't have to itemize our potential sins. ;)

Thank you! *still bouncing*

[miafeliz.livejournal.com]

Yes... admitting one's sins can be a good thing, especially when you find a group of other like-minded sinners. Heh.

Thank you! *still bouncing*

I think it's wonderful for you. And maybe next election, all of Florida's votes will get counted, ;-)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

One can only hope, man. But, inept voting officials or not, I am *so* in for next November's elections. Whoot!

[meinnim.livejournal.com]

So so happy for you. Congratulations!

Have some tissues ready in case the waterworks start during the recitation of the Pledge of Alledgiance. *g*

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain you're the one I said this to before, but I'm counting on crying harder at this event than at most any other occasion to come. Tissues and best friend will definitely be on hand.

Thank you. This is such a huge, huge thing for me, for a thousand reasons. But mostly because I don't belong anywhere else, haven't for ages, and I was starting to fear that the temporary welcome would be revoked for whatever ungodly reason and I'd have to start all over again. Or you know, keep going here, but never really belong.

Listen to me! I'm already getting sentimental and sniffly.

But yes. Thank you. It's gonna be the biggest thing in my life so far (besides being born and coming here in the first place), and I can't wait.

Congrads, Jules! Um, where are you originally from?

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm from Hungary, a smallish country in Eastern Europe. Came here with my mother and brother when I was nine and decided the sofa was comfortable and we liked the backyard. Something like that, anyhow. But yes, tres, tres exciting and a long time coming.

Congratulations!!

*throws redwhiteandblue confetti*

That's so very cool, hon. Welcome to the fam *g*

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The patriotic sentiments are indeed running very high here, so the confetti is definitely a welcome contribution. Enfranchisement feels a lot less sleazy than people say. ;)
