Happy 4th of July!!!!

I wasn't too sure about how this day would turn out... I woke up, and haven't missed America this much since I've been gone. I love America~~~!!!!!!!! I am so grateful for the people who fought/fight for our freedom. They are amazing.

So to celebrate, I invited Yuki over and I made some dinner: hamburger inside big tomatoes with mozzarella cheese on top. So good! Then we made strawberry shortcake. I wasn't sure that I would be able to make it because there weren't any strawberries in the store!! Yuki and I had to go to a different supermarket to find them, and when we got there, there was only one sad little box of strawberries left. :O Seriously, there were only cherries. No strawberries. GAH! So that was scary, but it all worked out and it was really yummy! Then after that we lit some fireworks, like sparklers, but weak-sauce ones. Actually there were these teeny tiny sparklers, that have a small flame, but they look like miniature HUGE ones. They're so cute! I want to bring some back with me. Can I do that??

Here's a stupid picture of me:


And another one...

Oh, Hank Green posted this on the Brotherhood 2.0 website. Who said you couldn't tap dance in roller skates?? :)

you know... the best part of that clip is that the people around him are actually responding to him! too often in musicals is there a dance break where no one seems to notice anything out of the ordinary... and oh my gosh... i would have fallen... many times... especially when he's jumping from curb to street and back... oh WAOW!!
