Can't start off this entry without saying...rip mj, we have been blessed with your music, dancing, and talent. truly the king of pop, who really knows how to make people from all walks of life groove to the beat.
I've been sick.. :( yes.. today is day 5 I think. Pretty much back to normal...except the throat feels strange, and I sound like I have the 'sexy morning voice' all-day long (except mine isn't too sexy unfortunately)

Today is our birthday. yes, happy birthday CANADA!

Umm so since i'm sick...and i'm up...doing absolutely nothing but coughing.. here are some fun facts about CANADA!

1. Winter is not our only season..We don't actually live on ice or in igloos..SUMMER does exist here!

2. We don't live on ice..BUT we do like drinking Tim Horton's iced cappuccinos.

2. Vancouver is the host city of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Unlike most mascots, our mascots are real animals..the real deal! And we encounter them on a daily basis. This one's half-panda, half-killer whale. Look proof!

3. Rachel Mcadams is Canadian!

4. Hockey is not our official national sport...it's lacrosse :p

5. And yes..don't know why. But we do like to say EH a lot. But so does Lady GaGa
that is all :)

Ever hear how Canada was named? They decided they'd put consonants in a bag picked one out at a time. Vowels would be added later...the guy steps up and begins...
"C, eh! N, eh! D, eh!"

I'm a Torontonian and I rarely say "eh". Of course, Canada hates Toronto so I guess that doesn't really count. lol!
