Why are all these countries' independence days in the middle of summer? That's weird.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You've seen Do The Right Thing? People get pissed off in the heat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hot weather makes people feel antsy?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Plus, who wants to start a revolution when it's cold out? All that marching and shit? Not on.

Hell, you can barely get people to show up for the revolution planning meetings in winter!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is actually our Dependence Day. The First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove on Australia Day, so it's the day we became a British colony. (More precisely, it's the day members of the First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove, and if you're not familiar with it, you should really seek out John H's description of the whole affair in COMM.)
Australia's federation occurred on January 1, 1901. That's really closer to being an independence day for us, but since we already get the day off for New Years, not many true blue fair dinkum dinky di Aussies would favour using that instead. It's a question of priorities, and that priority is to stuff the year with as many opportunities for a piss-up as is humanly possible.
So, in conclusion, let me just say preferential voting, no serial comma and beeeeeeeeer.

My cousin just sent me pictures of his new baby boy, who wasn't expected for two weeks, but didn't send any details like what his name is! I wanna know!
And, wow, does New Baby Cousin look pissed to be out of the womb.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Would someone remind me that I have better things to do than pick on anti-tax, anti-school morons on my local newspaper's website?
They're really stupid, so it's sort of an uneven fight. Plus, I need to get to the gym.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You've done your part. That letter was awesome. Go work off the annoyance at the gym.
