..what are your plans? I honestly don't have much to do which is a shame. I wanted to head to a city (St. Louis or Chicago), but none of my friends could go. I guess I'm stuck in this same old boring town.

I do have some REALLY old M80s and bottle rockets left...I should think of something fun to do with them.

I'm going to a party at my dad's boss' house. They're great people. It's gonna be awesome, they'll be grilling stuff.



I wanna have my friend over that night so we can blow some bottles into the air.

Like what? My friend and I will need some ideas! ;D




We're definitely going to make a bonfire. And we're gonna light some steel wool on fire with 9 volt batteries, and grind some soda cans.



SPREAD THE JULY 4 LOVE. MAKE IT THE BEST.

Hang out at the beach at night, around a bonfire.

Probably going to do a ceramic firing with some of my hippy friends. BBQing and what not. Watching fireworks and just having fun.

Probably going to be cake and stuff too to celebrate a belated birthday party for myself and my twin sis.

My parents went out of town. They left to San Francisco to celebrate with our family over there. I stayed here in SoCal.

As for tomorrow, going to my boyfriend's house for their family BBQ. ;) I'm excited, I like fireworks. Especially the smell.

Well unfortunately all the fireworks got cancelled this evening around my area due to rain. They are postponing them until tomorrow when it's supposed to be nicer out.

I honestly don't feel like doing anything right now but curling up and watching a good movie. Whenever I feel like doing this though, I can never pick out a decent movie. Maybe I'll just play Playstation all night and kick the crap out of some kids on Socom :)

You can always watch "A Capital 4th" on TV. Yes?

Declaration of Independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1776. I think we beat guys by 90 or so years though. >_>"

Well so far I have went to a local parade, donated some of my time flipping pattys for a good cause, naped for two hours hit the fireworks and then on my way out to hit some home grown fireworks.
