lagilmanHappy Fourth of July, fellow Americans!*
(or, as my sister said, "yo, dudette, rock the declaration!")
We had our party yesterday, with the usual massive amounts of food, booze and volleyball (less volleyball than previous years, as we're all getting old). It was also the "coming out" party for Keith DeCandido's DRAGON PRECINCT and my STAYING DEAD, as author copies were shown about and admired (and toasted with mimosas this morning).
Today, we're cleaning up and lazing about (well, the houseguests are lazing about, I'm writing) and, if the weather holds, will head out for the fireworks tonight.
May the day remain calm, peaceful, and celebratory everywhere the Stars and Stripes is raised....
-- suri
*and before anyone gets their anythings in a twist, when Canada renames itself "Canada of America" and Mexico is "Mexico of America" then I'll stop referring specifically to citizens of the United States of America as "Americans." Until then, with all due respect, bite me.

Date: 2004-07-05 12:24 pm (UTC)Liberals like me love America. We just love America in a different way. You [conservatives] love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world. That's why we liberals want America to do the right thing. We know America is the hope of the world, and we love it and want it to do well. We also want it to do good.
Wonderful party this year, as always. I always have the best time at your parties.
