getting my physical to recieve my carte de sejour so i can legally live in france. i waited with the rest of the foreign scum and they called my name and took a chest x-ray for tuberculosis then i sat and waited again. then they called me for my weight, height, and eye test which was reading 3 letters with each eye. when they took my height they slid the thing down to the top of my hair so i got an extra 4 cm! then i waited again and i ended up talking to a doctor who asked me if i smoke and if i'm ok. i said yes i'm ok and he said ok and stamped my paper and that was it. wtf. right next to that room is a prefecture de police office where they had my card all ready and waiting for me to pay my 368 euros (for the highest level of carte de sejour, 3 years).
it's official, i'm official! on facebook the majority of comments were about my helmet hair, it seems to have people perplexed and even offended. i don't know dudes, it was 2008 and i was trying to get my visa to china so i tried to take the nicest photo possible without crazy hair or anything.
an international dinner at my house.
at the panic room. i wanted a picture of her cat sweater but it looks like it comes included with a douche bag. also i've never heard douche so much in my life here (douche means shower in french).
