More properly titled.. Independence Day... but whatever floats your boat..

Also I dunno if this goes here or Other Chat so... blah..

I usually become a complete idiot on 4th of July... (Why'd i say become? I'm always a dipstick..)

But I'll just get lots of M80's... and like.. light them under buckets.. and watch them go 70 feet in the air..

Also me and my friends and my bro have "Bottle Rocket" wars... which include bottle rockets, roman candles, fire crackets, sparklers, and whatever else.

Blah I can stick to the traditional stuff... but reluctantly. I am always trying to think of something new and creative, because the "norm" gets boring after years and years of it.

Course, all those fancy high-tech things like those ducks and tanks and stuff are always fun... blah..

So What do you dOo?

Independance Day, isn't something the British celebrate...so really i don't do anything.. ^^;
"As I watch the warm coloured autumn leaves spiralling gently to the ground-I wonder...
If I ever knew it was possible to wake up one morning and find the sweetest, most beautiful woman...I would've wanted to wake up a lot sooner.... Smart, sensible, pretty, funny, kind...are words that aren't close enough to describing just how perfect she truly is. Her cute smile, her warm auburn hair and her pale ice blue eyes, add to the beauty of her terrific personality.But most of all, she cares for me too; thats why I wear my best smile every day..."

Well, we drive up to Wyoming and buy the stuff that's prohibited where I live, then set it all of and freak the dog out. The I rig up my bike and such, launching bottle rockets from it and chucking random firecrackers. So, not much, really...

We usually buy a bunch of fireworks and light em off in the road (when no cars are coming XD) but one year i went and got some bottle rockets and firecrackers X3
Ooh, I love your signature and avatar set! The pictures look so familiar... Hmm...

=P Lol. Anyway, I always go out to my grandparent's house on the Fourth of July. All of my family goes there. Since they live on the lake, (Well, in a lakehouse.) we get to ride their boat and go out to watch a HUGE fireworks show! The lake gets so crowded then, but it's worth it, because it's all really neat. Before that, though, we usually cook out and eat cheeseburgers or something, and have our own little fireworks show.

Today, I went with my brother, cousin, and grandfather to buy fireworks, and we're going to shoot some today, and then save the rest for the fourth!

What do I do on July 4th? Well, it differs year to year. The past few years we've gone to my mom's cousin's house. They have a pool so we go swimming all day and then have a cook out! It's fun. But this year we can't do that cuz my mom's cousin is going to have a baby. So instead I heard that we were supposed to go to my sister's "friend's" house... but apparently my sister hates the girl. I didn't want to go to my sister's friend's house anyway. So now... I think we're going to my cousin's house and we're going swimming at a lake instead. I'm just really confused as to what we're actually doing now.

As for fireworks... we usually go to the next town's high school and watch the fireworks from there. We used to go to the park cuz they have a fair there every year too... but since I don't live in that town anymore we never get to go... plus we only go to the park when my dad is off from work and that never happens...

I don't do anything, I hate fireworks XD I have to travel to some ghost town in the nothern part of the county, sit outside in the heat and mosquitos, and drive home at eleven, deathly afraid of hitting a deer :P It's not pleasant, so we quit doing it...

We might roast weenies though, and my parents might force me to light sparklers after dark, causing me to get singed and mosquito bit. I think I'll just spend the day watching the Fox News Channel or something, they usually have a lot of stuff dealing with America XD

We got my dad a new grill for Father's day, so he's been cooking up a storm lately, hehe...
Um, this year is actually a little strange because we have a few things going on at the moment, but at least we have fireworks for tonight! (We didn't get any this past New Year's because they were sold out in every place we checked) And since my ears are still kind of blocked from the scuba diving trip I went on a little while ago, the loud noises shouldn't be a problem, hehe.

Last night I went to the huge fireworks show with my family that they have at the lake every year. ^_^ It was so neat! We rode on my grandparent's boat, and since it's pretty large, most of my family can ride on it. The whole lake was filled with other boats, and the water was so rough! (I even have a story about that, that happened last year, lol. It's kind of funny.)

On the radio station that we listened to, as soon as the first firework shot up, it played the National Anthem, and then for the rest of the show it played pariotic music. I loved it!

For the 4th of July? *checks date* Ah, that's today.

Let's see... I woke up at 10:30 AM because my mom wants me to get back on a regular sleeping schedule for summer school. Then I came downstairs and sat on the computer for a bit and got my forums back up and running. Then I duelled my brother in YGO and ate food. And I installed WinAmp. o_o Tonight I don't really plan on doing much. There are no fireworks~

I'm not American. ;D I am going to see Farenheight 9/11 today, though. o_O; Does that... count? XD

OMG! I can't remember what I've be doing all day.

*ponders*

Oh! I went to brunch. The brunch I was supposed to go to on Father's Day, but the place caught fire. Then I came home played Ocarina of Time and Spider-Man, and now I'm here.

Wow! My life is boring. Is it too late to make a Canada Day thread? LOL
