Hokaben It’s almost TGIF
Apr 30

When you read this, I should be in Seattle, at USCIS, taking my vows to become a US Citizen. Finally! I will officially be an Naturalized American. Not sure why they call it Naturalized, but who cares, it just means that I will be able to vote and be eligible to take a federal job. Oh, consequently, I can also become a police officer. Not that I wish to become one, it’s a bit too much for me. I could see myself stressing out on that job. seriously.

But now that I will be an American, I will be going to register to vote, as well as getting a new passport. You know, just in case I decide to travel out of the country, like going to Japan or something. Also, I just realized, I can now stand jury duty. Wow, I’m so not enthused about that.

Big day today, the plan for dinner is chili cheese dogs, tater tots, and apple pie. How much more American can you get than that?

  10. cybrpunk says:

    That may be the best meal ever. Assuming that there is ice cream to go with that pie.
    Congratulations!

  11. Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!

  12. angeline says:

    Yoshi, congratulations!!
    Yeah, I wonder what “Naturalized American” means…

    Did you have to take the grueling citizenship test?

  13. Katie says:

    I have chili and beer on a regular basis and have never needed pepto :P

    actually… pepto makes me puke. oddly enough.

  14. kailani says:

    Woo Hoo! Congratulations! I heard the citizenship test is hard. I don’t know if I could pass it. LOL!

  15. daniel says:

    w00t! congratulations my friend!

  16. Yoshi says:

    @daddy forever exactly, right? Yeah, you have to be born on US soil in order to be president. Not that I’d wanted to ever be president. Perhaps that ruling might change, who knows.

    @cybrpunk yes, there was definitely ice cream, but no pie. :D

    @soapbox.SUPERSTAR thanks! :D

    @angeline thanks! and yes of course I took that crazy test. If you saw the craig ferguson video I posted in the past, it was exactly like that.

    @katie LOL yeah, no pepto for you!

    @kailani thanks! Yes, it’s tough, but if you studied, you could pass it I’m sure. It’s stuff you learned in High school that you forgot. :D

    @daniel thank you!

  17. Neptunebaby says:

    Congratulations! That is awesome! and Jury Duty isn’t so bad. I enjoyed it, actually.

  18. tiggerprr says:

    Now that you’re an “official” American…does this mean that you will no longer like fish? :P
