everyday

If you are the first one to wake up and put the fire on, you also get to decide whats for breakfast, right?

W is out of town so I went over to check on the cats – they are so cuddly! I told them to stay off the booze. 

It’s always fun to go to the dentist! They thought I needed a “deep clean” whatever that is. But since it is included in the insurance am paying anyway, I might as well use it.

Winnie came home with a bunch of cupcakes today!

My favorite noodle place in Los Angeles is closing down, and I am super bummed!

My last bowl of Tan Tan Men.

Today is Repeal Day, we celebrated by going to the Del Monte Speakeasy in Venice. Just as we arrived they rang a bell – I didn’t think much of it and ordered three Old Fashioned’s for me and my friends. It turned out that the bell meant that all drinks were $1 in the bar, and it also turned out my friends had also bought 3 Old Fashioned’s each, so we were stuck with 9 between us… I could only finish 2 and gave my last one away. There is only so much Whiskey I can take in one day!

I woke up bright and early to go vote before work. So much fun! Go Obama!

Since I just got my American Citizenship, I get to vote in the election this year. Super excited! I got the mail-in ballot and was reading up on all the propositions this morning.

I never thought to much about me getting dual citizenship, it was always just something that would be a practical thing to do, it never really meant that much to me. But today during my citizenship ceremony and when I had to swear my oath, it really hit me that it is a pretty big thing. It is probably one of the biggest things that I have done in my life. 

I went out for a few drinks to celebrate and then my room mate had put a McDonalds meal by my door when I got home at the wee hour in the morning, so awesome!

For the last 5 months, I have been very anxious over this stupid American Citizenship test. I love the idea of if you wanna become a new citizen of a country, you should be able to know the basic history, language and rules and regulations of that country, but I have just been very nervous about it. 

I was scheduled for my big test today and I nailed it!

They asked me 6 questions:

In which month is the US presidential election?

What is the political party of president of the United States?

What is the two major political parties of United States?

Name a state that boarders Mexico.

Name 3 of the original 13 states.

Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

As bonus questions they asked if I believe in the constitution and if I agreed to bear arms to defend US in a war. I answered yes on both of those, just to be on the safe side.
