But sometime today, between the cheesy American Flag shirts, and the sparkly fireworks, I realized what today was. Or, actually, by my clock it's 1:07 am, which means that I actually realized what yesterday was.

It was Dress Like a Dork Day! And I forgot it!

Actually, it was July 4th. Now, I could put forth an entire entry devoted to how proud I am of America. How I love it's statues. And even it's statutes. And how I love our president, and how wonderfully we've been ruled over the years, and how grateful I am that people died to give me this land...

Yeah. I could do that.

But I'd rather write something true. So, y'know...try someone else's diary. Like, maybe miss ILoveAmerica. I don't know if that's a real diary or not. Somebody go check it out and report back.

But anyway, this day means nothing to me except hot dogs and fireworks. I'm the most unpatriotic person I know... and it doesn't bug me at all. That doesn't mean I didn't care about 9-11. I did. That was a tragedy. I know that. But I couldn't care less about this war, our president, laws, whatever. The news is complete crap to me.

But this is coming from somebody who wants to pack up and move to England when she gets older. I know it's rainy all the time. I know it's cold and dark and cloudy... but I like that. I do. And I don't care if they hate Americans. I hate Americans too.

Okay, not all Americans, because duh, I am one. But I don't like the sense of Americanism. We AREN'T better than anyone else. We're just greedier, meaning we're richer.

Some people who live with little are loads happier than us... and...grrr.

Yeah. I shouldn't make this entry. Ever. I'd get yelled at until patriotic people's faces turned blue.

But I can't help but think how stupid some people look with outfits made entirely out of red white and blue patterns.

Wave your flag, wear your shirt with a flag on it... but don't parade yourself around looking like an idiot who fell into the presses they use to make American flags. Because... though you may look patriotic to yourself... I still think you look like an idiot.

And of course it's my opinion that counts, isn't it?
