existing on her own terms...

tram to OHSU controversy and oh Canada! i just got fingerprinted! each fingerprint has an identifiable arch, maybe (1) or (2) or a freakishly strange combination of the two... take a look for yourself - how many do you have? and may the truth be told, my old green card would have lasted me forever but [they] are pushing for everyone to update their card(s) making them good for only 10 years at a time. in this day and age, everyone is going biometric. if anything, i will have an updated card in the mail within six months. in the meantime, i can travel in and out of the country without any complications. next project, getting my passport renewed. btw, everyone needs to do this since there is a deadline of october, 2006 - again, blame it on the terrorists...and get this, i got asked out! of all things to happen to me today... just in - you can extend your passport if it has not expired more than 5 years at the canadian consulate for only 12 dollars. this obstinate nature of calcifying slightly into isolation on biometrics...
