Today I Became A US Citizen! (Cheers!)
July 22, 2005 | AnnaZ

Posted on 07/22/2005 2:24:56 PM PDT by AnnaZ

For the second time in my six years as a FReeper, I am posting with a glass of champagne next to the computer. And boy! am I smiling.

There are, of course, tons of details, but I'll wait for the questions, and please ask them!

One significant note (and most mortifying moment of my interview last month) -- I was asked what other names I used. He meant this one, and asked, "What exactly is 'AnnaZ'?"

"My alter ego?", I feebly suggested.

"I'm just going to put it down as your stage name," he said.

Shoot me now.

Pledged an oath to that today. I've done it before, but it was kinda like, "Once more. With feeling."

Congratulations AnnaZ.

I seems to remember a champaigne birthday bash from a hot tub you hosted.

Puerto Rico



Last I checked, ALL Puerto Ricans are already US citizens.

I've been told that's what they say at the gay bars...
I'm always behind the curve on catchphrases.

A-heh, a-heh... she said "behind".

You should have told him it was your nome de plume, or pen name. Which it is.

As one who is 1. not Puerto Rican and 2. would prefer that they became an independent country and out of our hair, I am not offended.
