I'm curious as to what you think/feel about Memorial Day. Are there traditions that your family adheres by or are you just enjoying the day off.
For me, I just take this day to study for my upcoming finals.
To bicycle, or not to bicycle: that is not a question

It means I have to follow my parents wherever they want to go, and shop with them and do everything they want, and if I want to stay home, I get yelled at and hit. I just love holidays like this, you know?

Pointless American holidays as usual.

A slow day to reflect back on things.

And cook the shit out of whatever I feel like cooking.

Interestingly enough, outside is warm, windy, and a generally "grey" color.

And everyone's out eating ice cream/frozen yoghurt! Yaaay~

I'm pretty sure the original post was sarcasm, so he would be lol'ing at the fact that they took it seriously.
If I remember correctly, Ghostony doesn't live in the United States, and neither does Chibi-Alice.

Memorial Day is only observed in the US, and to an outsider would be a rather obscure holiday.

O, so that is why there was no Game of Thrones? Fucking memorial day...

Previously memorial day meant watching the Band of Brothers marathon on the History channel, however since the history channel is not the history channel any longer, well I do nothing for memorial day.

My mom always visits her parents grave on memorial day, so I end up thinking about those I've lost as well. Not even sure what memorial day is supposed to celebrate, but for me it is about the dead.
