Why is it that the 4th of July always turns out to be one of the unhappiest of my year?

Me, Myself, and I: "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed . . . I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between. You know you wouldn't want it any other way."
— Meredith Brooks, "Bitch"

I am 30 years old. I have lived my entire life in New England, United States currently in the People's Republic of Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have never been abroad. I want to go.

I'm married to a German-American with two lovely little girls, one in grammar school and the other in primary school.

I appear cheerful when I'm depressed. I appear mellow when I'm angry. I appear relaxed when I'm tense. And I am aloof. I don't like giving of myself to people — too many years have taught me better than that. I am very giving to people except when it comes to myself. I will not give of myself to anyone.

People love me. Other people hate me. Chacun à son goût.

I have my flaws. However, I'm not so foolish as to tell you what they are.

Sports: As an American, I'm exempt, so I'll cheer for whomever's getting more noise in the pub in the hope of escaping a nasal fracture. However, being American, this means I need to support baseball, to some degree. As a lifelong New Englander, I cheer for the Boston Red Sox, and as my husband's family emigrated to Chicago, I also cheer for the Chicago Cubs.
Scared Of: the people that choose to appear on daytime television programmes to seriously discuss who violated the family dog, insomnia, people who don't read books, the fact that the United States government is in its present form, awkward social situations, SUVs, professional wrestling, daytime television presenters who write books, the people who buy those books, becoming an adult, a sudden shortage of coffee, remembering any of what went on during grammar school
Happiest When: listening to vinyl records, sleeping at inappropriate hours, reading The Onion, devising rules for Mornington Crescent, sneaking cigarettes, reading Tarot cards, driving the narrow-minded barking mad, browsing through a second-hand bookshop, emulating Hunter S. Thompson, reading obscure entries on Wikipedia, chugging espresso, hanging out in tapas bars
