Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! (I'll try not to feel TOO aggrieved that you escaped the British Empire XD)

And in other news... o.o I got a call-back to a second interview for PC World, this Friday o.o I was 100% convinced that I'd totally flunked that first one, so... woo! I must've made up for falling outside the brackets on the test by smooth-talking my way through the verbal questions :D *Ego* This fox isn't such a lost cause after all :P

Shh, it's a secret! Jei has some July 4th fireworks that she smuggled in from NY! Don't tell anyone!!

Eeew, American holidays... :P

In fact, this is a holiday where we celebrate being "American" by eating hot dogs (which originate in Germany), macaroni and cheese (pasta comes from Italy), and a'splode lots of fireworks (originating from China).

...Yeah. Some "all-American" holiday. xD <3 *squishes*

And hey! Call backs are good! Wishin' you the best of luck on that~!

Well, Dad just poked me and informed me that we are having relatively traditional "American" meal; grilled cow and Cali wine.

Oh, family. :P

To be fair, we are a nation of immigrants (I'm Scottish and Polish) so celebrating by eating the foods we integrated into our culture by way of the melting pot is really as American as it gets. Unless we were all to eat traditional Native American cuisine and ignore Independence Day all together. XD

Granted. :3 And my family had a whole big conversation about it shortly after I posted the comment. o.o *Twilight theme* XD
But yes. Not that I don't love it. Just find it funny in a way. :3 <3

It is a little funny ^^; America's culture is pretty much what happens when a bunch of cultures (mainly European, Native American, Mexican and African to start) meld into one, with the relatively newer immigrant cultures (South American, Asian, Indian) as seasoning sprinkled on the top. Mmmm... tasty.

So yeah, we may have a very hard to pin down culture, but I think our mixture of cultures _is_ our culture, which is just fine.

Indeed! :D

I'm now trying to convince the parents to order Chinese and get a curry dish going, so that we can have a little more melting-pot-ish dinner. Instead of just grilled cow. XD

...though who knows. May be doing that if not just for the fact that I like food. >.>;

Thank you! It will be fun with the fireworks tonight.

And, hurray for callbacks!

And Jei will have fun with the Brit fireworks. Are they better than American ones?

You TOLD!! How could you??? Ah well... what could I expect from a Brit on Independence day? XDDD

Yay for the callback! You rock, shmoo! Truly!

Nitch: How American is American cheese, anyway?

Jamie: Where's the cow from?

Packerchu: A farm, son.
