IS FOR VICTORY!
upon checking my credit card statement this morning, i discovered a mysterious charge for $119.50. 'What on earth could that be," i thought. "my new boots weren't that much." so i checked the details page, that would reveal to me the source of this mysterious charge.
and the culprit? the british embassy in washington DC.
WHICH MEANS:
unless the credit card company and the embassy are colluding to give me the ultimate mindfuck, MY DRATTED PASSPORT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
i'm sure i don't need to describe for you how this makes me feel.

He felt the sound well up from deep within him, expelled on the air driven forth from his fevered lungs, driving out the jealousy and transforming it to a joyfully steaming shout in the chill morning air as he cried, 'Yay! Woo-hoo! Wa-hee!' and produced other such nonsensical yelps of wild glee as no one would ever have imagined possible of such a dashingly stoic gentleman, all the while dancing about (perhaps giving new visual interpretation to the phrase 'hopping mad') as though the fire within him had also ignited the soles of his surprisingly ill-maintained shoes..." (Erm, that's my violently purple way of saying, "Yo, congratulations...I am SO jealous. ;-) )
