The long and short of my day...

vulgarweedBad news/boring bureaucracy rant first: No, apparently I can't get a state ID unless I have a copy of my actual Social Security card (never mind all the pay stubs and tax receipts and bank statements that have it pastede on yay blazoned everywhere for the identity thieves to nip). Who the fuck has their original Social Security card? News flash: My parents didn't save my umbilical cord in formaldehyde either.
Watch me vent!
Of course, I can get one. By mail. In two weeks. Which means I can theoretically get a state ID as soon as that comes in. That's just fine and dandy, except NOT, because I need to send the only photo ID I've owned in a decade, my passport, to the consulate like, NOW. Who knows how long they'll have it? (No, I can't get the state ID without my passport, now can I?) Never mind that having to mail off the passport to get a visa is the only friggin' reason I'd need the bloody state ID in the first place. I'm a citizen of the WORLD, baby. Fuck Illinois.
I'll tell ya, if Big Brother really wants us all carrying around our Number of the Beast cards, he better make 'em less of a hassle to get their hands on.
And now I don't want to hear any bitching about what a hassle registering to vote is (from limp-asses who think that's an excuse), because that was WAY easier.
Oh well. No club shows for me for a couple weeks. Not that I ever use the damn thing for anything else.
