*bambi eyes*
I was only thinking of this: I would lounge around in my camp having conscientious intellect conversation, discuss web design ideas, listen to chiron sing and play guitar.

[catinthefunnyhat]

wh..sh, where's that bridge i ordered?
do you need my credit card number again?

[Chiron]

From the way I read this, Chiron hasn't said NO. He's just said that Angel has to say "YES"

illy's onto it wh..sh may still get to

lounge around in my camp having conscientious intellect conversation, discuss web design ideas, listen to chiron sing and play guitar

How could Angel possibly object to that...

[junglesmacks]

I highly recommend the Box Truck Camping, a fella named JungleSmacks does it with class and style and on budget!

Exactly!! I am not always as malicious as I may seem...
I am mostly harmless (atleast until aforementioned erotic massages)

Um... Cough....
Let me go get the almond oil

Well it seems that we may never get to frolic in the dust together anyway. Your government has decided I'm far too heinous a criminal to let into the US because I was busted for growing dope 30 years ago so my visa application has been denied

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dude, that's horrible!

Stupid war on drugs is stupid. Fuck.

BUT... a glimmer of hope, perhaps! Does Aus have a pardon program? Canada has one; it's mostly for people in exactly your situation. It allows those who have been convicted of minor crimes and have served out their sentence, who are no longer on parole/probation and have passed a certain waiting period, to have those crimes stricken from their record, mostly so they can travel/work in places/industries where a criminal record would be an obstruction to them. I think, essentially, its purpose is to make sure people don't go on being punished for things where society/the government consider their debt to have been paid.

A quick Google search didn't turn up anything for Australia, but maybe the legal terminology there is a bit different. I would talk to a free legal clinic or something and ask them if there's such a program.

Good luck!

Stupid war on drugs is stupid. Fuck.

Det. Ellis Carver: What he means to say is that we are effective deterrent in the war on drugs when we are on the street.
Det. Thomas Hauk: Fucking motherfuckers up.
Det. Ellis Carver: Indeed.
Det. Thomas Hauk: Fuck the paperwork. Collect bodies, split heads.
Det. Ellis Carver: Split 'em wide.
Det. Thomas Hauk: The Western District way.
Det. Ellis Carver: A'ight.
Shakima Greggs: You rogue motherfuckers kill me. Fighting the war on drugs, one brutality case at a time.
Det. Ellis Carver: You can't even call this shit a war.
Det. Thomas Hauk: Why not?
Det. Ellis Carver: Wars end.

Tourist visa? Did they state the reason?
I am an immigrant myself and they usually dont state the reasons (or, thats my understanding). I am not too sure about tourist visa procedures.

Fuckity fuck. Have you talked to the embassy? 30 years ago is just bloody ridiculous! Surely there must be some sanity somewhere.

[Chiron]

Yeah it's pretty over the top. Thanks for your support and outrage.
Well wh..sh you have to declare if you've ever been arrested to apply for entry from Australia - quote "If you have been arrested, even if the arrest did not result in a criminal conviction" (and no I did not get a criminal conviction for it)
And catinthefunnyhat, you're right - they do have a scheme here. I have to apply for a waiver. The processing for that takes only five months! Well there goes BM for this year. I'm applying so if it gets granted I may make it for next year. I did email them asking them if they could expedite the process on compassionate grounds because I have a girlfriend there but that didn't sway them.
Will I ever see Angel again <3

Gah! Five months!
I guess given Aus's history as a penal colony, they've got their work cut out for them. *ducks*

I guess compassionate grounds is for the death or serious illness of a loved one. Would Angel be any good at faking consumption? -- I kid, I kid! I'd never advocate that kind of fraud. Also, nobody would believe consumption. It would have to be AIDS.

Well, good luck for 2013!!!

Ah, once again we have moved from la Boheme to Rent...

Eeekkks Chiron! Sorry about 2012 and good luck for 2013.

But I wanted an April progress!

[catinthefunnyhat]

But I wanted an April progress!

Here ya go.

[theCryptofishist]

Ah!

I rescind my request.

[catinthefunnyhat]

NO TAKEBACKS, FISHY! He's yours now; find a use for him.
Didn't you say you needed a new weather vain?

[theCryptofishist]

He's got the vain part down...

Which reminds me...

(It just doesn't get old.)
