Well how about a little 4th anecdote?
I had a pretty eventful holiday. I went to this big party my girlfriend's aunt and uncle had. Her uncle spent 500 dollars on fireworks, and I must say, it was a rather hellacious show. Afterward, my girlfriend and I went back to her house and had a big ass bottle rocket war with her dad, her little brother, and her cousin.
Twas all in good fun, until she snuck up behind me and tried to nail me with one. She missed, but I silently vowed revenge. She then later said Time Out cause she was crossing over a creek or something. Well when she got a little closer, I lit one up and timed the toss perfectly. It went right across her face, grazed her forehead and put a little bit of ash on it.
She was pissed.
She locked herself in her car(after a few good seconds of mindless incessant screaming and running), and refused to speak to me. I finally got her to get over it, but that was sorta the end of our little Bottle Rocket skirmish.
So yeah, my Independence Day was good.
