So it isnt even the 4th of July yet and already my neighbors are going crazy with the fireworks!

Is it the same for anyone else here?

Not yet, but I'm sure it won't be long before the local teeny boppers (and I don't mean that in a bad way, for those of you who are still young ones) are firing away late at night. Just sucks for me, since I have to get up and go to work! We usually have about a 2 week period of non-stop nightly bottle rockets going off around the neighborhood.

Where are you spending the 4th? I gotta go do time with family in the Midwest. May not be too exciting, but it's a week away from the office!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually I just stay in NJ for 4th of July. And have a BBQ. how boring.

I live in Australia so no...

So the entire continent of Australia is a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins? Wow, it must be an awesome place.

But really, I don't know much about Australia. The only exposure I've had to the country has been through Outback Steakhouse and Foster's beer commercials. But even through these few sources, I believe that I've been able to learn a lot about Australia through my expert observations. For example, I've learned that Australians are desert-dwelling, unhygienic alcoholics, and that the staple food is deep fried onion blossoms. And they speak with that funny accent! Oh, I think perhaps I'd like to visit one day...

yep, we all live in the desert, im writing this post on a rock computer like the flintstones

Really? That's so cool!

I'm hearing them, but they're actual fireworks shows

the CWS is going on, and I can hear the fireworks from the stadium

...and theyve apparently been doing firework shows around here too. and there is no special occasion from what i know of.





Oh, and Australians rock, and I've always wanted to go there.

I've always wanted to go to Australia as well.
I haven't heard any fireworks yet but I'm sure they're coming...
In fact i haven't even seen any of those cheesy booths put up yet!

there isnt a night my neighbors dont have fireworks! yes its true theyre loud as fuck. its seems as though everyday is an occasion. i blame them for my insomnnia, paranoia, bills, and defness. well im going to have to move out of LA or something but i will miss the insane evil icecream trucks with their creepy music and costly goods.

save me from this awful sound of [s]nothing[/s] fireworks.

hmmm, i know how you feel. my neighbors seem to use fireworks, a little too much. they usually do it for mexican holidays too (they were launching fireworks for a full week until Cinco de Mayo came around, argh)

aussies have great accents.ahh the fourth i will be at a social eventv with the neighbors..gee im lucky

Cinco de Mayo isn't a Mexican holiday in any way, shape or form. It's just an excuse for Americans to drink.

I have a friend who's studying abroad in Australia. I forget which part she's in, but from what she's told me it's beautiful.

She also said that Lamingtons are good.
