Poppin' fresh or hardly poppin?



It's not that the whole blogging thing has become boring to me; I really wish that I could do more updates. It's just that I feel like I really haven't had all that many exciting things to write about lately. Well, I mean things that I want to share with anyone who might stumble upon this page. My life is more or less the same ball of what-the-fuckness that it was about 3 weeks ago, but quite a bit of stuff goes beyond the boundaries of what I want to reveal to you guys.

So, after going through my entire self-censoring process -- I'm left with the story of the second biggest decision that I've faced in the past week and a half, namely the dilemma of when is it appropriate for someone to finally change their relationship status on _____ (fill in the blank here with your preferred social networking website)? Très exciting, right?

Yeah, I know.

Anyway, most of me feels like such concerns are not only extremely trivial, but also the realm of 13-year-old little girls of the "OMG!!1!Boyz r LoLz!!" variety. And, of course, I want to do like I'm above such petty vanity -- like, "Sorry guys, I'm off the market. You had your chance to bone me, but not anymore. According to Myspace/Facebook/StudiVZ/(and yes, even) Friendster, I am taken. Now, I command thee to go forth and wait with bated breath to see if this status changes! Muah-ha-ha- ha-ha!!!1!" It's all pretty ridiculous.

That said, I already changed it on Facebook awhile back, which planted the idea in my head to change the rest of my profiles...for the sake of uniformity *cough cough* right, of course. But then, being home sick and off of work gave me time to really debate in my head (for a week), whether or not to add this tidbit to my social networking profiles. Plural "s", as in more than one. That's really sad.

Unlike many people, I don't worry too much about the information that I reveal about myself online. I'm comfortable with the information that I've put out there and as for my employer, I'm #5 on their Top Myspace Friends list -- it would worry me more if I were to suddenly disappear from this list for no reason.

But for some reason, I feel like this was some sort of monumental step...towards... well, I'll have to get back you to on that one. Needless to say, I went ahead and did it. Feel free to go double check if you're that bored.

In other fascinating news you can't use (that is, unless you could use about five fewer minutes of your life). I started up a fun game/project/blog with The Boy, in which we issue short photo scavenger hunt challenges to each other. It's called Photo Battle Supreme. The first challenge is up and the deadline has been extended, because I didn't get around to taking pictures last week.

Don't worry though, I'll remind you again later.

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
