YAY!!! More border crossing stories! My crush came back home with me for the week as I am on vacation. So of course, we had to cross the border to get back into the States....So here is a brief transcript:
Guard: You are from where?
Crush: Montreal.
Guard: Where are you from?
Me: Boston, he is coming for a visit as I am on vacation.
Guard: I see. (pause - does computer stuff)
Guard: Okay, would you park your vehicle under the canopy and go inside?
Me: Okay...(now is the point where I get kind of panicky and realize what a police state I am living in - memories of police stations and teenage drunkeness return)
Crush and I go sit, inside, with pictures of GWB and Cheney smiling at us....(very frightening)
Inside the "station"
Officer Rossi: Well you see, we know he is coming for a visit.
Me: Yes
Officer Rossi: Well, sir, how do we know you will be going back?
Crush: I am taking the bus back on Sunday, 23 July.
Officer Rossi: You don't have a ticket though. I mean, can we be sure you won't stay?
Me: You can call my mom - she'd be pissed if I smuggled someone in!!!
Officer Rossi: Well, okay - you make sure he behaves himself while he is here then.
See - even the mere mention of my mum and I can strike fear into the hearts of the cogs in the police machine! Yay - I am (well - she) is that powerful! Silly, silly, silly - I remember the days of needing a drivers license - hell a library card would work! But, we made it across and he is here....Yay!
I am feeling a bit weird these days though....Happy - but a bit off.....I will need to ramble more about that later...
