I keep having to remind people I was not born in the US (:

I don't like apple pie either and I have always lived here. :P

You know that's one of the questions on the citizenship test, right?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I guess I wouldn't pass that one!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

It's ok, I got like 6 questions wrong. Stupid Francis Scott Key...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

what was the question?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

The ones I remember missing were who wrote the star spangled banner (which I /knew/ they'd ask and I /knew/ I'd forget and now is etched into my memory!) and what is the term limit for, uh. Either a senator or a congressman, I forget, and I know one's 6 terms and one's unlimited, and I don't know which is which!

Oh and "Do you like apple pie".

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Neither of them have term limits.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

one of them has SOMEthing that has the number 6 in it. (;

[bertine.livejournal.com]

senators term is 6 years. congress has a term of 2 years. :P

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ok, that was it then. I said "Aaaaah one is 2 years and one is 6 and I don't remember which is which!"

I didn't see that in your bio and I really don't know you except for this LJ exchange. So I call shenanigans on your use of the word "remind." :p

So...Where are you from?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well I meant remind in general, not specifically you (:

I'm from Israel. where you from? (:

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

St. Paul, MN. Just head down Rice Street from Shoreview there and when you hit Maryland, you have my home stomping grounds.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Wow, we're practically neighbours (I'm practically on Rice. Well, Hodgeson, but that's kinda Rice).

[polyranger.livejournal.com]

We used to be...I live "way down" in Inver Grove Heights now. But I'll always be a Northender at heart.

My sister-in-law grew up just off of Hodgeson and Bridge. So I know that are pretty well.
