firecrackers suck

im at my sister's right now and all i can hear are idiots setting off firecrackers in their yard. i dont get it. well i guess i do. everyone has a bit of a pyromaniac in them. i used to burn leaves and wax in a coffee can and i know some guys who get a thrill from throwing aerosol cans into a campfire. but still. this is obnoxious and needs to be stopped. maybe thats the reason they are banned in so many states. the noise.

its funny because i used to hate regular big fireworks with a passion. you know those screaming kids holding their ears and ruining the fireworks for the rest of the family? that was me. i would sit all by myself in the car until they were over. but i got to see some friday night and it was pretty cool. i started thinking about how neat it would be to be the ones who made them and set them off. now that'd be fun. this was after a baseball game and we had to wait a half hour for them to start as the arena officials ushered lots of spectators away from their seats in the section directly under where the fireworks were to be shot. apparently they didnt clear out enough sections because about halfway into the show some burning pieces made it all the way to the ground before they went out and actually landed on someone! i always wondered if that could happen and im pretty sure someone got burned because i saw it land on them and bounce, then it went out. my worst fear as a child realized.

im having a great vacation, if you can call it that. i guess ive been on vacation since i graduated but this feels different because i get to see friends and travel. i spent a weekend with my ex-roomie beth and we had great fun as i illegally accompanied her at work. i drove 4 hours to michigan and had some fun there as well. it was nice of a couple friends, who otherwise i woudlnt see, to meet me there. now im in indy with tara. we saw the indian game in cincinnati with dave and went to some friends for a 4th dinner yesterday (saturday) and today moved washering machines around. i brought one up in my van and it had to be removed, by full grown men of course. i'll have none of that backbraking work.

couple more days and i'll be back at home back to teh same ol' same ol'. except this time i'll have my gamecube and the zelda game!! hopefully zelda will have arrived by tuesday. now where to get that memory card...
