Loktown Hi-Life

For some reason, the last few days I've been going to bed later and later...and thus, waking up later and later. After months of a fairly tight schedule, I've suddenly found myself with ability to sleep in. Take this morning for example, I was dreaming that I had slept in until 4pm (I think it was my body subconsciously chastising me for my laziness or something). Anyway, I started to panic because it felt like I had really been asleep for too long. Then I rolled over and looked at the clock only to see that it was actually only like 8:30am.

So basically I was like, "Fuck it" and went back to sleep for like 2 more hours, but now I'm awake and ready to face the day...right after I finish this entry, and brush my teeth, and shower...and have some coffee...

Last night, I met up with Toby for dönerlicious good times. Then we headed off to this park where we sat around pretending to be trendy hipster faux-bums...which is basically where you're young and beautiful (e.g. me and Toby), but you sit on a park bench smoking and drinking cheap beer out of plastic bottles. Normally this action is reserved for old, ugly bums...but, since we're young and beautiful, it's hip and ironic (see also: yuppies drinking PBR)

André needed some "space" last night to do his part for The Revolution ;)

So right now I'm staying in my friend Mo's dormroom, since he's away for the weekend. I don't think I've written much about him here, but I'm sure I will get around to it soon, because he is just very funny to me. The best thing to do is to set aside a whole day for an adventure with him because at the end of the day, you're like "What the hell just happened?!"

Anyway...I need that shower now...and that coffee...

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
