tealinSo ... what was up with Bastille Day this year?
I mean, not in France; obviously there were parades and fireworks and stuff. I mean in the U.S. of A. I never remember this much attention being paid to Bastille Day outside of 'Learning about the culture is just as important as learning the language' bloody useless French class. Did I just never notice it before? Is it a California thing?* Or is it, as I cynically suspect, because we have a new administration and thus it's OK to not hate France anymore so anyone with an international perspective is celebrating this by overcompensating?
*very much doubt this

Poor sweetie, don't worry, mad time is OVER. Done with the loss of time, the crappy stuff, and the not-finding-things !
We're gonna be ORGANIZED and MATURE. Oh yeah.
And I love what I know of Utah, so there you go, I can make a positive generalization : UTAH IS AWESOME (just cause I love you).
Poutous.
SEE YOU IN FIIIIIIIVE DAYS !!!! <3
