Canada. (Yes, that's the title of my post.)

(No lyrics today, just writing.)

So.. School's out! Yippee. No more work to do. Except some summer assignment. Fun. It's kinda messed up.. But I can't really complain this year. Besides, all it is is reading and taking notes. Big deal. Not. I can knock it out in a week. Then, move on with summer. Yeah. That's what I'll do.

So, mom took me and Juli to the library the other day, so I could find what book I needed for the summer assignment (but she didn't tell me we were going to the library. So.. I had no clue what to look for. Silly mother. Hahaha.) Anyways, she dropped us off, and Juli did her thing- Which translates into "Juli checked out 10 books. Like she always does." I went to go check out my favorite book, Glass Tiger. (By the way, if you're reading this, I give it a 10000/10 stars, because it's about the story of an ex-sniper who left the marines, and the main character who tracks him down before he assassinates the president. It's amazing, I love it!) On my way to check it out, my eye caught a sight of "Helen of Troy" as well. If you know me, you know I LOVE Greek mythology, and history in general. The Trojan war is really interesting to me. Anyways, I checked that out as well. Good day, I think.

We got home, and I was bored. SO, I played Pac Man. Little trivia fact, did you know that in Japanese, "Pac" means eat? Doesn't it all make sense?! Haha. I'm such a dork. Oh well, get over it. I eventually got bored of it, so I went to look up this Anime called "Axis Powers Hetalia" that a few of my friends have been raving over. I sort of lost my interest in Manga and Anime over the years, but they said it's amazing, so I went for it.

My. God. It is genius! Two things I absolutely love, all in the same thing- Cartoons, and History. I wish All my classes could be like that; I'm a visual learner, see? Anyways, each individual country is a person, all with stereotypical personalities. It starts out with Italy, and he (or she, I can't really tell...) is discovered by Germany, a big tall and buff blond guy. Italy is sort of an idiot who's obsessed with Pasta and women, and Germany is no-nonsense and proper. They stumble upon Japan, who's quiet, mysterious, and composed. The author of the manga really did have a sense of humor, because he does WW1, WW2, and events like the American Revolution (which actually made me cry a little, admittedly, because America and England used to be so close). Eventually, you come across the Allied powers, and a few of them are America, England, France, and a few others. America eats like there is no tomorrow (he loves hamburgers), and he's obsessed with super heroes. England is a little stuck up and cynical, and France is.. Well, France. Russia comes across as friendly, but he's sort of creepy.

Then, there's Canada.

He's always forgotten by everyone else, even his polar bear. In turn, he forgets his bears name as well. He and America are twins, separated at birth, and America still forgets who he is from time to time. His physical appearance is really simple- Blond, blue eyes, and this little twirl of hair on top of his head. He's really REALLY quiet, and has this ability to turn transparent. So.. No one knows he's there.

Now.. There's this joke that I look JUST like him. And I admit- I do. HE and I have the same length hair, a red jacket, and a white bear. However, he and I are nothing alike. I'm more like America. Outgoing, loud, and nuts. All the same, I did a picture of what I'd look like if I was Canada on Photoshop last night.

(See?! Haha.)

Well, that's that.

Another successful post.

Have a wonderful summer, reader!
