21st birthday... *emo*
16 years ago
First let me say that I'm generally never emo, angry, upset, w/e. But all this shit in the past month has just really put me over the edge and this just kind of tops it off...
My 21st birthday is fast approaching (nov 8th) and what should have been a great weekend and such is looking to be quite the opposite...
As some may know my license recently got suspended 2 weeks ago and they took my license from me and gave me a paper that acts as my restricted license (without my photo or birthdate on it) so basically as I left the courtroom they left me IDless. Awesome.
So me thinking it's no big deal, I'll just get a identification card instead right? Wrong. Virginia is fucking retarded. I went into the DMV earlier today to try and obtain one only to be told that I can't be issued one. In VA you can't have a license and an ID card both at the same time unless I 'surrender' one or the other, and the kicker is that my restricted license (aka piece of paper with no identifying qualities about it) is considered my license so I cannot get an identification card. Fun how that works huh?
Basically now I either A. pay $100 and wait 1 month+ to get a passport or B. surrender my restricted driving abilities and get an ID card (not really a big deal since my dad took my car away from me anyhow). So all fine and dandy now eh? Nope. I was planning on leaving with my roommate tomorrow to go home where my bf
was going to pick me up and spend the weekend at his place.
Now instead of that I have to go to the court on friday, surrender my license, go to the dmv, get an ID. Have him come down here through DC traffic and spend the weekend down here ruining the plans he had for us up there for my 21st. So now I can't drink, ruin my BF's plans, and inconvenience him. I feel terrible. Being 'depressed' is so unbecoming of me, I hate it -_-;

As far as ID, can't you renew your license for simple identification purposes, seeing as how you're gonna get your driving priveleges back in time anyway?
If you've ever read that book (catch-22) that's basically how virginia is.
I lost my ID and my birth certificate was in tatters, so I needed both for a new ID, and subsequently, a newgig. I couldn't get either, because I didn't have two pieces of ID (only had a tattered SS card, which I also had to replace for acceptance)
So, for a month and limited money, I had to bounce around trying to explain that I was who I was, with no ID save the SS card that they wouldn't accept. This was right after Sept 11th, so everybody was ridiculously difficult until I I eventually found somebody that was like whatev, I feel your pain, bam, new SS card. I used my HS diploma, the chick that helped me with the card's referral, and my new SS card to try and get the ID, no go. Then tried for the birth certificate, and after explaining, that, no, I had no picture ID because I needed the birth certificate to get said ID, I eventually found another chink in the faulty armor of dumbassery and got the birth cert, then finally, my ID.
But, a month later, I miss out on the job due to it being filled in my three week-long absence after the interview.
So yeah, I feel your pain haha
You just go and have a good B-day with your boy, and fuck the noise. Enjoy yourself, dude and I'll see ya at MFF
Regardless, I'm sure I'll have a good time valid ID or not. Just hope I will have one by the time MFF rolls around :D See ya thar doooood.
anyways you'r gonna hang out together and thats the point. next time you'r having a party, yeah, freakin awesome!
whats the problem?
no problem!
Just all this bad shit happening at exactly the wrong time heheh.
*hugs*
*hug*
BUTCHAKNOWWUT?
It's just a date, and i'm sure you're gonna get just as trashed as any other, just now it's done legally!
On a side note:
We'll go to Town sometime, and i'll buy you a drink.
You definitely could use a drink after all this BS! I'd be more than glad to buy you one too Just don't be mixing drinking with emo and depression, that's the numero uno way to make a bad situation worse.
