Yep, after 12 years of living in good ole' USA I decided it was time and as of today I am a naturalized US citizen. The ceremony was very nice and there were 87 people from 29 different countries. Quite moving I must say.

Just wanted to share a moment with my fellow AT'ers.

Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

Congrats :D

Did you get a flag? There was a way to get an American flag that flew above the Capital from your Congressman.

Thank you all for the kind words; you all are the reason why I love AT so much and it's no joke.
Congrats. What were you before?
I am from Ukraine.
Congradulations on becoming a citizen in the best damn country on the face of the planet
congrats, and welcome to the most powerful family on earth
Amen to that! There's no other place I'd rather live and raise my children. When I said today that I am willing to take up arms and fight for this country I meant it!

Again, thank you all :D

87 ppl.. Yikes!

I would have assumed atleast a 1000 ppl or so.. where are you from?

and oh yeah congrats..

now that your a citizen you can dread teh fact that there are just something about US politics that you are so going to hate.

<--- getting too influenced by this Poli Sci teacher.. okay she is hot but she is also telling the truth when she says we got an archachic system of voting.. why have primaries when by the 13th state you know who are going to be running .... ugh!

Why cant they have it all at one time.. this is not the horse drawn buggy 18th century.. this is teh 21st century. The other thing that bugs me is the closed electoral system where you can only vote for who you registered for.. if you want to change your mind you got to do it 30 days before your electoral date. Only 3 states are open electoral system.. california was one but got federally mandated to go back to closed system :|

oh well me ranting as usual

congratulations.
