I am not sure it is possible to be more pleased at a tiny piece of plastic with a bad photograph. I only sound subdued because I have collapsed under the weight of the amount of paperwork there was.

Hooray for a learning driver's permit.

This picture is -so- bad. How did they make it this bad? Ugh.

All pictures on official ID stuff are bad. It's a rule.

And well done - for making it through the paperwork, if nothing else. ;)

Merci.

My passport photo is actually not that horrible. This one, though? So -very- bad.

What Angelo said. On both. I swear I shaved and, y'know, combed my hair the time I went to get my license, but somehow the picture looks frighteningly fuzzy.

Would offer to copilot while you practice only I'm not old enough. :)

Fuzzy?

I wonder if Dr. McCoy has his blue face or his not-blue face on his driving license.

Yeah. It's the hair color, I tend to show stubble really fast.

I bet it's his not-blue face, since I don't think he drives much in the blue one, and somehow I think that'd be a hard one to explain to the police even with the evils of DMV cameras taken into account. :)

Pale skin, dark hair, I suppose you would at that.

You would look extra-silly with a beard. Like, that Star Trek guy who had one when he was starting to gain weight. Very silly looking.

What, you don't think I'd look like a pirate?

Yeah, Uncle Jesse tried growing a beard once. The story goes that the next day, Aunt Lily jumped him in the bathroom, handcuffed him to the sink, and attacked him with an electric razor, then made him promise never to do it again. We're just not made for beards in my family. :)

Wait. Past-tense. You did look like a silly pirate.

I prefer to taunt you for wearing makeup and being male.

Taunt.
Taunt.
Taunt.

Whose eyeliner did you borrow anyway? I don't have black.. unless the reason I do not have black is because you borrowed it, but I think I would remember owning black eyeliner and it going missing.

That's not makeup, it's . . . like that thing football players do with the black under their eyes to ward off sun glare. Sun glare is a big problem at sea when it's sunny, because the water reflects a lot.

I note that you did not answer my question.

It was -eyeliner-.

It was sun glare protection. I didn't have the right stuff, so I had to simulate it with some of Alison's eyeliner, yes, but it doesn't count as makeup because it had a practical purpose. You can't be piratical if you're blind.

So, you wore makeup.

It doesn't count. Sun glare.

Does not.

And anyway, it was a costume. Actors wear makeup all the time. Same thing.

That is stage makeup. It does not count.

Eyeliner is not stage makeup.

Johnny Depp is an actor, right? So he wears stage makeup, right?

I rest my case. It didn't count.

It was stage makeup when Johnny Depp wore it.

It was not stage makeup when you wore it, because you were not on stage.

I wasn't on stage, but I was in costume. Same rule applies.

No, if that applied, it would be called costume makeup. Obiously, since it is stage makeup, it is for the stage.

So you wore eyeliner.

Semantics. It still doesn't count.

I like the stubble - pleasantly scratchy, but yes, not in favor of an actual beard. Would look very strange.

You'll never have to attack me with an electric razor, I promise. :)

woot!!!!! I really should look into getting a learners, I'm going ot be 16 soon - did you have to take a driving test or anything?

dun dun dun!

Date: 2004-04-26 05:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com
No, just a long multiple-choice test on a touch-screen machine.

It is easier to get one here than at home, though here is more paperwork.

I'll have to look into this...

Congratulations, love. Paperwork is indeed evil. That'd be a really funny way to neutralize Magneto. Bog him down in paperwork somehow. :) Of course, he wants to destroy the government, so it's not like he'd pay attention to it... *shrug*

Reminds me fondly of a D&D campaign gag that I ran into one time. :)

And the picture may be bad, but you're still beautiful. :)

The paperwork would not have been bad if your government was not all insane about me having proof that I do not have a number for social security.

The rest was not -so- bad.

Since I know you are dying to tell me about this campaign gag, please, go on.

Oh! You were doing the computer thing with the numbers and the crazy pattern stuff again when I got in, so I did not get to show you what else I got today! They are -so- cute.

Ring of Demonic Bureaucracy. Cursed magic item that once you put on, you can't take off. If you are any sort of a spellcaster, when you try to cast a spell, an imp appears and you have to fill out paperwork for an hour per every level of the spell you were trying to cast. Is fun. :)

And I'll bite. What did you get today that was so cute?

That.. is a lot of paperwork.

I got the mice! They are SO CUTE! They squeak and one is sleeping and one is eating a sunflower seed and I do not know what one is doing but it might be making mouse droppings.

*grins* We'll have to take 'em for a test run sometime. And I promise not to let Frank near them - he's vegetarian, but you can't be too careful...

Yes, Frank already betrayed his vegetarian diet once with Eeyore. (He tried to eat Alison's stuffed toy's head. We fixed it.)

The mice will not be leaving their cage anytime soon though. No free-roaming mice. That would... just be bad for everyone, espically the mice.

Yeah, I saw that thread when I had all that time in medlab to catch up with me reading. Doc McCoy was wondering what all the laughing was about... til I showed him, that is. Then he said something about poetic justice and the healing power of laughter and left me to it. ;)
