Spent morning at the DMV, getting drivers license renewed.

Well, that's not entirely true. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. The rest of it was spent punching my alarm clock really hard (some bastard set it to 'rooster,'), oversleeping, flailing on the kitchen floor with breakfast and a pot of coffee (it's a cozy-ish spot, if you're a floor dweller, with lots of light and space), finding the White Form they sent me last month, filling out the White Form, finding out they prefer cash, finding an ATM, and generally avoiding the task any way I could. Which was pointless, since the license people are, as a rule, perfectly nice. And I've never had an accident or ticket, and it was raining, so there was very little chance I'd be selected to drive.

Could not figure out reason for utter terror, until I remembered the last time I visited. Lowdown here: http://annlarimer.livejournal.com/710420.html

License picture is hideous, but you can't really see it for all the embedded holograms, and it's good until 2012 -- THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!

Also, White Form lady asked the dreaded question, "Oh! What are you reading?" "Uh. It's...these guys in Wales who fight demons and it rains a lot." "Okay."

Oh, I remember that older DMV post! I swear I've made a mental note to leave a nice, uplifting comment on that one.

Note to self: never move to Nebraska.

Here, they take debit cards, and they only time one needs to take a driving test is if you let your license expire (Marcia did that once. She lives about 2 seconds from the license office). Otherwise, it's when you take your first driving test, and then never again, til death do you and the Dept. of Revenue part.

What kinda ice cream didja get?

And I've never had an accident or ticket, and it was raining, so there was very little chance I'd be selected to drive.

...What? They can randomly do that in Annland? Gosh.

Oh god yes, the door incident! That was ~~hilarious~~ tragic for you!

"Uh. It's...these guys in Wales who fight demons and it rains a lot." "Okay."

You booktalk like me, except I can make eyes glaze over at 50 paces. Which is good, cuz then you can swipe their lunch money.
