WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
I have several things to say:
1) Just went clamming with my parents (for the uninitiated, clamming=running around a beach at low tide, digging up clams, usually with a shovel or clam gun) and even though we DO NOT NEED CLAMS (seriously, they're so gross, like eating fishy rubber, I make my dad eat them) we caught 14 out of a 15-clam limit AND I CAUGHT TWO WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!! I feel like Bear Grylls or something. Hence, "we are the champions" is stuck in my head and I need a nap because we had to wake up early to catch the low tide.
2) IT IS THE FOURTH OF JULY. Maybe that should have come first, oh well, priorities. There's a parade later and I fully plan on elbowing small children in the face so I can get all the free candy (I think this might be an American thing. Every parade I've ever been to, people on floats throw candy at the people watching. Sometimes the people watching throw it back. SO MUCH CANDY. Yay America.) And then later our new neighbors will continue trying to burn down the neighborhood by setting off fireworks in their backyard which is surrounded by DRY GRASS AND WOODEN HOUSES. OH MY GOD PEOPLE REALLY??? NO MORE BEER FOR YOU.
3) I'm leaving for Chile in NINE DAYS and I haven't even started packing yet. Which would normally be fine because I generally pack the day of but since I'm going to be there for FIVE MONTHS and I only have like one pair of pants, this is a problem. Also, I haven't spoken Spanish AT ALL for months, so that'll be fun. But I finally have my visa so at least they'll let me in (hopefully).
4) Last and definitely least, Eric Staal/Jeff Skinner comment fic happened. Putting it here for keeping-track-of-things purposes.
Happy Fourth everybody. Be safe.
