This. Is why I love America.

I don’t mean like loving that way or anything!

from Zerochan

(Or rather soon-to-be ex-classmates…)

So, why are you excited to spend your vacations on the U.S.?

Classmates: I can’t wait for the theme parks! Oh, and this Water Park, and Walt Disney World, and the rollercoasters and buy this and that clothing and arrgh! It’ll be awesome! 8D

Me: My family there lives conveniently in access to several bookstores, and there are several museums I want to visit or re-visit! History! Also, there’s this book I want to get and this animation film that isn’t being sold ATM in my place, and those videogames at a decent price… I also can’t wait to be able to wear coats and the like on a bit cool weather :’D

…really. I was looking through the list of unvisited museums from last year that I missed and I just got ecstatic. Ffff. I can’t wait to be a Gru in Halloween, either.

…I’m not saying it’s “bad” what my classmates aspire to (I would personally love to go to Walt Disney World someday, I’m just not overexcited yet ^^; ) but oh boy… well, I guess that the clothing factor detracts me a bit, so yay?

If anybody of you lives in Virginia or Columbia or Maryland or the like, please tell me so I can give in an attempt to bug you :3 hah!

“Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is pretty simple. It says, ‘Raise an army.’ It says absolutely nothing about race, colour, creed, sexual orientation. You all joined for a reason: to serve. To protect our nation, right? How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honourable and noble? Right? Get over it. We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everyone with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”

- Sergeant Major Michael Barrett, US Marine, on the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’
