Your 4th of Juy

[Zkribbler]

1) Sat around the house waiting for the plumber. Played EU2 on my laptop until he arrived. Kicked the snot out of Austria. Go Russia!

2) The bad news is, the plumber is going to have to rip out a bunch of tiles to get to a leaky pipe in the shower. The good news is I rent, so the owner pays for it.

3) Drove up to a friend of mine's place in Ventura. Nasty traffic. A 1-hour drive took 2 1/2 hours.

4) Laid around...napping ...reading "Good Omens"...watching the "Twilight Zone" marathon.

5) Had some deeeeeelicious BBQ.

6) Watched "The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!" DVD

7) Then fireworks & home. Couldn't help noticing the hundreds of private fireworks displays on my way home--even though they're illegal. Tender-dry bush everywhere. Driving past Dodger Stadium was weird. Couldn't see the fireworks directly but there were really low clouds, almost fog, which would light up with each explosion.

8) Snuggled up to my laptop in bed. As winter sets in, four Austrian frigates sneak into the Black Sea and catch two of my merchantmen unloading desparately needed infantry. Oh, the humanity!!

It's not important what I did yesterday. What matters is, that I'm going for a shower now, and then to outdoor party. I have purchased way too much to drink, and there won't be anything left when I stumble back home.
But I'll have one for your independece day too. And then 20 more for other reasons. I'll be making out tonight, because there's a girl that is interested in me, and my lips are hungry.

It was a Holocaust remembrance day here... on this day, a sinagogue was burnt, full of Jews.

I spent the night before with the SO, spent the day with him, then went downtown to watch the fireworks with Zylka. Although the fireworks weren't for the 4th of July, I can pretend.

Don't you want to go beyond the lips though?

My Senior High School Prom happened to be yesterday too, and it went fantastically

I walked there, because I really can't be bothered with limo's and was greeted by a massive table filled with (free! ) champagne and about 150 or so of my friends. Everyone was taking photos, chatting with people we'll see for the last time, and some we haven't seen for a few years (a couple that left a year or 2 ago came). About 8:30 we went in for dinner, which was pretty nice, and with free wine (was cheap rubbish in all honesty, not like most people there drank wine so would care). After dinner, myself and afew friends who had brought cigars went outside and had a nice smoke while chatting with a few of the teachers who had come (and who all got more than a little tipsy ). Then went in and danced for the next few hours, and having a great laugh, before walking back. Was a great nice, if mostly because of the occasion and the great company. To top it all off, a girl I really wanted to see again (and took to the last prom, when she left) came even if she is engaged

All in all a fantastic night, and I only had one regret. If only I'd remembered to take my migraine meds before I went out, I could have avoided an hour in the bathroom being sick. Still was great though. I'm really gunna miss that place and those people

watched the local fireworks, rather than haul down to DC (it's way too crowded)

[Jon Miller]

I heard people were turned away at the end

We wouldn't be, because my dad's office always has a party on the 4th of july, and they have a big balcony from which you can watch the fireworks, so we'd go there

There was a long line for those who brought bags to get them checked. If you didn't get there before 8:30 or so, I doubt you would have made it onto the Mall.

That said, you could stay right off the Mall and still get an excellent view of the fireworks.

Watched local fireworks. In Utah. Logan, Utah.

Had a few drinks to celebrate.

I slept in, played computer games, and watched the Twilight Zone Marathon. After all, if America isn't about that, whut is it about?

Did a mod change the thread title as a prank?
