Our 4th of July bash is only 3 hours away from stating. And it being hosted by myself, a Brit, got the event labelled many moons ago as 'Ungrateful Day'.
Have fun all.
Oh, and somehow, Jilli worked her gothy magic and turned today's forecast from 79 degrees & sunny to 74, possibly with thunderstorms. Yeesh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thanks for all the anniversary wishes. It was very nice. We eloped again. We had to, to get away from all the people in our house. We made a pact to do it more often, it was fun!
I want to marry Ginger's LJ post.
I am currently trying to find a fireworks venue that won't require me sitting out for hours in un-AC'd mugginess with the skeeters and other bugs, five bajillion strangers, and an hour and a half drive home afterward. I don't think such a thing exists. I dream of the days we'd drive up to the local golf course and lay blankets out on the grass to watch fireworks. It was small-town, cozy, and fun. Nothing like around anywhere in a day's driving distance that I can find.

That's why I go to the Decatur fireworks. They're not all that exciting, but the people watching is great and it's pretty easy to park. It's also only about 10 minutes away. I've never been to Atlanta's biggest fireworks show, because I'm not interested in standing around in a parking lot with thousands of other people and then taking two hours to retrieve the car and get out of there.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'm home again. Back to my craxy life. And oh, is it back. Geeesh. I'm already hiding from everyone.
K-Bug's bf came to the airport to surprise her, it was very sweet.
We missed our small town parade, which was fine by me. Mom is in full "it is a holiday, we must have a TON of food" mode. Blarg, it is just us and the bf, no extra people, no party, NO NEED. And yet...
Luckily we got our fill of fireworks at baseball games last night (K-Bug and I in Denver, and DH with CJ in Oakland), so I can beg off of finding a viewing point tonight.
Want nap.
