Green forms

Bleugh. Feel sick.

My green form has not helped. Pedar's filled it in for me because I'm scared of it. The last time I was afraid of being detained indefinitely in Philadelphia, and I really would prefer doing all my GCSEs again rather than fill the form in myself. Having proven I am not a Nazi, communist, junkie, or sufferer from all round-freakitude, they just might let me in the country without a strip search. I don't know why I'm so afraid of this bloody customs check. I've done it three times before, and survived. But stil. Gah.

I'm going to miss you, my real life friends and the fannish contingent, very much indeed. I realise that in terms of geography I will be closer to quite a few of you, but I'm going to miss you just the same. I'm leaving on Thursday, for the land of the free, the brave, the lack of irony and the raging paranoia. Generalising? Me?

Bleugh. Still feel sick. I need to go out and post a few letters. Maybe while I'm out there my head will stop feeling like it wants to strangle me.

Sorry you're feeling sick. :(

I hope you have a wonderful trip over here -- I'll be waving at you from D.C. :)

And I hope they let you in without a bunch of hassle and a bonus strip search!

*mwah* Will be waving right back at ya. I wish I could get over to D.C. to see you and [livejournal.com profile] gamesiplay, but it doesn't seem very possible. Maybe next year when my beloved father finally gets around to smuggling me into the Library of Congress.

I hope they let me in, too. The last time I was in the States was just after September 11th - I was treated to a grand total of three random searches, and they confiscated my sandwiches!

I'll be waving from the other side of D.C. At some point, you do have to come see us. I will hold you to it.

They confiscated your sandwiches? Well, I suppose that's understandable. Deadly weapons, and all that.

I wanna see you! I really do!

And oh, yes, the sandwiches. Six inches long, full of cheese, lettuce and roast chicken, and they had the balls to take them off me. Thankfully the more pissed off I get, the thicker my accent becomes, so they escaped the full force of my sandwich-induced wrath.

OH, OH. Bring the package with you that's for me and avoid having to pay international shipping? muahaha.. it's always an idea. now that i've had yours ready for a week or two now.. it's just a matter of getting to the post office. of course, i've got to have my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow so that won't happen for at least another week.. but soon, i promise! you should look into a sidetrack-vacation to florida.. muahaha. ;x

*grins* Strangely enough, I had the exact same idea. It seems like I'm going to be mailing a lot of packages when I'm over the pond.

Good luck with the dentist! Ugh...
