Nikki, I'm jealous. I didn't get that BBQ and food, etc. I slept all day. My July 4th food is going to be Wawa.

For those who don't know about Wawa, it's the best convenience store chain EVER. Point in case- it has a deli where you can get any sandwich made right in front of you.

:erk: I should have brought you with me
 
I have all of my grandfather's jackets and shirts from his time in WWII.

My favorite is a tan battlefield jacket. It has large military buttons, 4 huge pockets, shoulder straps, sargeant stripes on the right sleeve and two large round screw-on medallions of sorts on the collar. One says "US" and the other is the medical symbol like that on Macharius88's avatar. He was sargeant of a medical unit. The most fascinating part is the wicked blood stains all over it.

That's a unique piece of American history in my book. I wear it all the time haha

Beyond that, the U.S. sucks. I'm moving to Germany or Sweden after I graduate in 2 years.
 
The USA is an amazing country, imo. Coming from Brazil, you clearly see a difference - this place actually works.
I can't let my hatred for Bush/war/american politics blind me for the good side of this country.

But DAMN, I fucking HATE IT how uptight some americans can be. Jesus Christ, it's so fucking annoying...
 
Some assholes were firing their guns off all night over here. It's not fucking "firearm day". Goddamn ghetto town.

LOL!
Reminds me of the shitty ass area I grew up in in Rio.

And Lady Raatikainen, I don't even know if uptight is the right word. But you know, all the "oohs" and "aahs" Americans love so much - think of Oprah Winfrey's audience. Some people can be so easily impressed or disturbed by really small things.
 
Um... lemme think of a good word. Can't think of one good adjective... but I do think of rigid, black and white, sheepish. Uptight works for the "being disturbed by little things" part. Everything here is like oil and vinegar, salt and sugar. It's one or the other, one slight difference creates a pedestal or grave for someone or something.

I get what you mean.
