Happy Birthday America!

Today is a very special day. The fourth of July. American Independence Day. Hooray!!! And while I have spent the last 6 months learning to embrace my inner australian-ness, I'm taking today to celebrate every bit of me that is American.

I'm proud of the fact that I sit in the back of taxi cabs even when I'm the only one in the taxi. I eat peanut butter and jelly sandwitches. I say 'zeee' instead of 'zed'. And tomayto instead of tomaaahto. I like rap music and always will. The list goes on.

So tonight I'm throwing a 4th of July party at my house, with sparklers and baseball and french fries and Budweiser. And all the aussies will learn how to celebrate like Americans.
