I got all of the forms I have to fill out from the State Department today. Well, technically they came yesterday, sent FedEx Priority Overnight, but I didn't see the note in my mailbox until today. That was a valuable use of the taxpayers money.

Anyway, the packet included the questionaire for National Security positions. It requires you to list every place you've lived for any amount of time for the last seven years and someone who knew you there. So if any of you who actually know me get a call from the FBI about me, please be nice to them. And don't tell them about the time I dyed that reflecting pool in Pittsburgh with Kool-Aid or the story about stealing the wheelchair from WalMart. Please.

The form also requires that I list someone who knew me at every school I went to. Now for high school and the U of C that's no problem, but that class I took at Georgia State? The class I went to a total of four times? Uggh. I don't even remember the professor's name, so I have no clue who I'm going to list.

I also have to list every time I went out of the country for the last seven years, including to Canada and Mexico. So I guess that includes the time we went to Canada for an hour to buy Kindereier and the immigration official almost didn't let us back into the U.S. since we only had driver's licenses, no passports or birth certificates. That was kind of scary.
