nuthin' but a g thang

so slightly worried now that i think about it. 1) i'm worried that my passport expires soon. i was thinking that i got it in 2002 because thats when i moved to france (and they're good for 10 years, so it would expire in 2012), but then i remembered, i got it in 2001 because i was stuck in france on september 11th. which should still give me another year, but what if they made a mistake and it expires soon? AND that means i only have a few months to add as many stamps as possible (i got extra pages sewn in to my passport last year and now want to fill them up because i actually have few stamps on the new pages) before getting a new passport. iiiinteresting (i'm just realizing this as i type, which means that i am now planning trips in my mind to far away exotic places that will stamp my passport)... but i'm also worried because 2) i don't actually know WHERE my passport is. i remember seeing it recently and putting it somewhere thinking "oh, i'll need this soon, i'll remember putting it HERE." but now i can't actually remember where HERE is. i told higgi that i'm not sure where it is and he said i could use his if i needed to. what a great roommate! don't you think?? i wonder how many people would offer up his or her passports for someone else. AND no mention of a rental fee! also, we have determined that we people will probably not question the woman handing over a man's passport aspect. and IF they were to do so, i would easily be able to make them feel uncomfortable for asking me about it. problem solved!

ok, so update (i wrote all that yesterday at work): i forgot i didnt have my passport until i was about to go to bed and was rereading what i wrote. i started having minor heart palpitations because i couldnt remember where my passport was. i spent about a half hour looking for it and was ready to freak out when i found it. it was NOT in a logical place. annoying. oh crap. i didn't look at when it expires.

i just looked. july 2011. i've got one more year.

ok, so just a summary. it's 4:35 and i have been up since... well, awake since 3 or so and up for about an hour. i set my alarm for 4am so i could finish packing and go through my donation stuff AND so i'll be sleepy tonight at 5pm for my flight. we'll see if that happens. last night i went out with a coworker which was good and then was about to walk home but it was NASTY STICKY out. so i walked half way then took the bus to the sushi restaurant to get me some yummy food. i went home to eat it and then left to meet up with friends at the beehive, which is this bar/club place playing live music. i had a scoop of ice cream and then went home to talk to a friend in n'awlins who, i had no effin idea, is actually a lawyer in a very important on-going case in the gulf... dum dum dum... crazy man, totally blowed my mind. so then i really went to bed. and woke up early! i'm kind of annoyed i woke up so early. grr. BUT on to more important things... today is... the day i leave for europe, yes, BUT it's also...
