I know not all Americans celebrate independance on the 4th of July
I guess I'm revealing my US-centricness, but I think if you said "Americans," I would have assumed you didn't mean South Americans, Central Americans, or even non-US-North Americans. Since this is such a US-specific holiday and all, I would have assumed that "American" was shorthand for "citizen of the United States of America," which does after all have the word "America" in its name.
But I do assume things a lot based on context and popular usage.
I didn't know the (other) meaning of merkin, so I looked it up. And now I am snickering at the idea of proudly independent flag-waving merkins.
let me know if you figure out a good spot for fireworks!
Am I the only one whose mind went straight to PORN?!
Slap my hand!
Feeling some survivor's guilt(again).
All these crips that die always turn out to be better people than me. I mean, in some cases, it was because they were too young to get, you know, cynical, or vulgar. But in this case, C. couldn't be happy till life was more fair for everyone. So, what did I do? Sort of mock her for being a goody-goody and hide out here writing porn and whatnot. I suck. And yet? Have never felt better, healthwise.
At the same time, if I found out that I was only going to be forty, I'd want to do more things on my list, too.
We accept murricans in that case, Laga. Same sort of sound, without the secondary connotations.
All is well. We watched from Out of Gas to The Message, and now we're off to see fireworks. Nora, I think we're going to be near he French Market. Did you find somewhere to go?
This is awesome.
Tonight is the first time in 10 years I have been home for the 4th. I love me some fireworks, but I just wasn't in the mood.
Bartleby has some pretty fierce sound aversion. On our walk, he got super freaked out with just a few booms.
When we got home, I gave him two Bach Flower Remedies (Aspen & Mimulus), turned up the AC to mask the sound and cool him down.
The National fireworks show is on right now...less than 2 miles from here. I can hear every bang.
Bartleby is sound asleep.
SCORE!!
There are fireworks going off like gangbusters in my neighborhood, has been for the last hour and a half or so. It's EXTREMELY annoying.
I am not watching fireworks, I am instead watching ST:TNG on Netflix On Demand. I just sobbed my face off at "Inner Light" and now watching "Rascals" for comic relief.
Also watched "All Good Things," which always cracks me up with future crusty cranky old man Picard.
