1st Passport EVER!!

I do not have a passport and I'm planning a trip that requries one so. . . I went to the post office today with a copy of my birth certificate and played my ditsy card to see if I could get my passport with the copy, but the lady was not having it. I also planned on sweet talking the person, but that went right out the door when the person was a straight lady :( It's OK I found my birth certificate!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!! I'm going back tomorrow! I'm so excited! FYI the straight lady was very sweet and extremely helpful.
