Do you know how hard it is to colour all the tiny, minuscule islands in Nunavut and the North West Territories?
There's Canada. It's annoying to colour - I envy people who don't have to colour maps of their country or the tiny islands. But I still like Canada - I mean, it's only us who come up with names like Moosejaw, Great Bear Lake and Churchill (which my friend illustrated on a map with a hill and a church).
Plus, as a random connected fact, there's an island called "Devon Island", which looks like a whale and was really hard to find - but here it is:
See if you can find that on the main map! It's WAY up there - like, no one lives there and there's an ice research facility and all. Plus it can get down to -50 degrees Celsius in the winter. Devon Island also probably doesn't see daylight for a month or two during the winter because of the earth's rotation.
So, fun geography lesson?
I've also been editing a little, and I read a really good book: Wild Roses by Deb Caletti. Well, I think it's pretty good - sorta girly, but still good. I have a craving for guns though - solid, strong action movies. Like Gamer. Has anyone seen that? I really want to!
Hope you all have had a good week!

Devon Island, huh? figures that it looks like a whale..why can't I get one of a smiley face or something XD
Pretty cool though, though i can't see myself living there...-50, ugh! I can barely stand going outside in 40 degree (Fahrenheit) weather!
As far as geography goes, I had to memorize the locations of all 50 U.S states and their capitals to pass 5th grade..THAT was a nightmare lol
Wow, 50? I thought there was 51... lol :P I just had to memorize the 13 and their capitals... MUCH easier, lol.
lol, yeah. Porto Rico keeps trying to become a state, but if you don't live in a state you don't have to pay taxes so...
Wow.. that's cool. I went on a cruise once and heard that Maine wanted to split. It's weird.. no provinces ever do :S
