When I wanted to get a passport at age 20, I realized that my parents had lost my birth certificate. I sent away for it, and there was no first name on it (just "2" as the second of a set of twins), so I had to apply to get a name. The whole process took months. #hippieparents
I kept the names they had given me but added an extra middle name, which was Charles-Armand de Polignac
My plan was to travel around Europe aimlessly for a few months, and take a semester off school. My parents really didn't believe I was going, although I kept telling them. Finally I said good-bye and they just laughed. "So, you're actually going to Europe!"
