Status: offline 		*sighs* It's barely after 3 p.m. here and ALREADY the freakin' fireworks are starting by my neighbours. I absolutely detest it. Today and New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Heaven forbid people here would actually follow the laws and set off firecrackers and the like during LEGALLY ALLOWED hours!!!! Call the police? Don't make me laugh.

I hate it. I'd like to shove a firecracker up the asses of those who can't set these things off during allowed hours.

Okay...I have ranted. Thanks. :)

Status: offline 		Not to be entirely indelicate but those things scare the piss out of me.  I just can't seem to relax when firecrackers that sound like 'gunshots' are going off all around me all night long.  I NEVER get any sleep on the 4th or New Years eve.  I usually just put on a movie or music, turn the volume way up and huddle in my room until its over.  Ugh.... I guess there are worse things I could be than irrationally neurotic two nights a year.

Status: offline 		Yeah the drunken noises, gunshot like explosions and overall chaos of the night makes me a nervous wreck.  Its ridiculous, I know that, but the great (or not so great) thing about irrational fears is they aren't ....rational.

Oh you hit the nail on the head with that one! I am sooooo glad I do not have to work today or tomorrow.

Your post made me laugh! But come on. You missed part of my point. I KNOW that people do this on July 4th and for New Year's. I don't like it, but maybe I could deal with it a little bit better if people would obey the LAW and not set them off OUTSIDE the legally designated hours.

JstAnotherSub: Awww!!! That's another thing. I feel for the poor beasties who don't know what's going on and can't understand.

PsyVamp:  Oh I can relate to that one too! Unfortunately for me, I'm a light sleeper. Even with ear plugs. I don't understand the need for drunkenness either. I'm just an all around party pooper I guess!

WinsomeDefiance:  Awwww...*hugs* Hope you get through it alright. :)

They always do this when I have to be at work at 9am tomorrow.  I hope they are done.
BTW, it is so dry here, they should have banned the things. Busy day at work. 
 
Have a good evening.

Uhm....'cause I like to have a decent night's sleep and not have to be awakened several times during the wee hours because people are setting them off after the legally allowed hours?

Status: offline 		Don't look to me for any sympathy.  I'm the kinda guy that used to love getting halfway lit, and hanging out with friends throwing firecrackers at each others feet and legs, then later moving on to setting off illegal mexican roman candles (the kind that *actually* shoot a good distance)at each other, then when it's late enough, burying and setting off M80's, 1/4 sticks, etc.

Haven't done it for a long time, and probably won't again, but I always hoist one in silent tribute to the young, the stupid, and the loud.  Here's to you, my brothers... may your eye-patch look roguishly sexy!
