It was quite the process of jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

I didnt want to jump the gun this time like I did with the whole parents acceptance thing (My mom has become quite religiously brainwashed but my dad still talks to me). So I waited for it to finally be put through before I commissioned this.

My facebook page got reported by a few assholes as being a fake name. I had the last straw with it and decided to move on and get it done legit and use those fools as a stepping stone to my eventual greatness. *Ahem* anyways. I had no where to start so a few awkward phone calls here and there found me the place that pointed me in the direction of a form. THEN this big buff scary retired marine (I shit you not he's built like Dwayne the rock Johnson) helped me out by pointing me to a place on base where I could get my fingerprints done. After filling out all the necesary paperwork I had to take it to a notary to sign. Luckily my bank has one and the lady told me that I was not her first customer to get a name change for this reason.

After I signed the documents in the presence of a notary, the notary then signed it and gave it to me. I then had to track down where to file it and prepare the filing fee. I ended up dishing out 260$ for the filing fee and had to wait for a court date where I would have to stand before a judge where he would approve or dissaprove of it (Which was the most nervous part of all)

While in court I had to watch another hearing and see a guy get sent away for 3 years. And then they called my name. I was about to go sit in the chair like...in those movies but they told me to just approach the judge. He asked me a few questions and legal jargain and in a mousey voice I said "Ok". To which he looked at me with an arched brow and asked "Seriously?" so I was a studdering mess because...there are OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ROOM. "Um...ugh no...*Whispers* I've never done this before". So I had to raise my right hand and in the process show everyone in the room my fabulous ruby red nail polish I had done the night prior and swore under oath that I was not being forced to change my name and I was not changing my name to escape any debt or contractual obligations.

After waiting for an answer on weather or not he would approve of it...he just signed the paper and slid it over to me and had the balif escort me to the proper department where I would find out where to go from there. I wanted to hug him...or the big balif but I refrained. I had a casual conversation with the Balif on the way there on how I was so damn nervous and it all seemed to be for no reason whatsoever cause that was so simple and easy.

Then began the hour long wait at the social security office, 3 hour wait at the DMV, short pleasant wait at the bank with the lady who was also my notary to get my name changed on my accounts, changing my name withthe company that I work for...etc etc etc...the only thing that has been a huge pain in the ass is Paypal...I sent them my drivers license and the entire court order name change and they kicked it back saying I did not send the appropriate documents which...states to include DL and Court Order name change.

Two big things happening or will happen. 1. I am able to use the womens restroom at work and its approved and I wont get any shit for it. and 2. I am getting ready for my first big surgery, my baby boo Kame said that he will come stay with me and take care of me while I am recovering so...we will be meeting each other for the first time in person! <3<3<3

So yeah lots of good stuff happening, sorry for not that many updates but my funds have been going into savings in preparation for surgery.

And THANK YOU SO MUCH to  Rabies_T_Lagomorph for this!
