I saw this
cool linkup over at Every Day Is A New Adventure, and couldn't resist joining
in the fun!
Of course,
since today is Canada Day (in case you didn't know...) I thought I'd give it my
own little spin.
1. When I
saw the Google logo for today... I was slightly heartbroken.
There's a
huge beaver on it. Beavers need braces. Making this ugly creature our national
symbol is like saying that all Canadians need braces. Why is it that we have to
have it as our symbol? Why can't we have something cute?
...I JUST
WANT TO BE A POLAR BEAR. Is that really too much to ask?
2. I don't
even know what Canada Day is for. (This is a little embarrassing, and probably
makes me a horrible citizen.) Independence? Confederation? (Many people seem to
just use it as an excuse to get drunk...)
Also, I am
too lazy to spend thirty seconds looking it up... so if you know, feel free to
share!
3. Being a
firework would be lots of fun! Just think... everyone loves you, you're pretty
and sparkly, and you get a wonderful view. What's not to like?
4. I am not
actually going to any parties... instead, I'm going to a fire at my friends'
house because our parents are secret pyromaniacs. (Actually, not so secret.
Every few days, "Let's have a fire! It's so exciting!" What's so
exciting about smelling like smoke, I have no idea.)
That's it
for my confessions today! Are there any Canadians out there? Does anyone have
any Canada Day plans?
I freakin' love this post. Your beaver comment... too funny. And your blog is awesome. Adding you to my reading list! =)
ReplyDeletethank you :D i'm glad you liked it!
Deletehahahaha! The beaver comment! Too funny... and yep, nerdy Historian over here. It's to commemorate Confederation! 145 years of Canada ba-by!
ReplyDeletehahaha, thanks xD Yay for Canada!
Deletehahaha, oh, I just have to laugh when I think of Canada's symbol. I mean, a beaver? I guess a bald eagle isn't the greatest, but whatever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!!
agreed :/ hey, at least it can fly... we can... chew things?
DeleteYour post had me cracking up...whenever i think of them I think of the show "Angry Beavers". Have you ever seen the show? lol
ReplyDeleteno! I'll have to check it out :P
Deleteurgh beavers. seriously? we could be bunny or something, maybe a jaguar!! gahh! also, i never really knew what canada day was for. at first i thought maybe it was some day to be proud of being canadian but i mean we wouldnt live here if we were proud am i right?
ReplyDeleteagreed xD jaguars= <3 & what are you talking about? i'm proud to be here ;)
DeleteFellow Canadian here!! I liked the google.ca illustration, I thought the beaver was cute. Probably because I have a slight addiction to beavertails. Lol. I always feel like I should clarify beavertails are a pastry in case people who haver heard of them don't think it's an actual beaver tail!
ReplyDeletemmm, they're delicious :D so glad they're a pastry and not actual tail... that would be gross!
DeleteIt is true, fireworks do have a pretty awesome view :) I would love that!
