Happy (slightly geeky) July Fourth!

And here I thought I wasn't going to celebrate the holiday at all. :P
My day started out with hours of laundry, then I went grocery shopping (ugh! So busy! Go have a holiday, people!), then I planned to come home and finish cleaning out a closet. So festive!
But RP happened! First surprisingly good RP on Thistle. It was my "I'm going to find the person with the worst RSP and RP with them for amusement!" thing that I sometimes do. I couldn't find a really bad one, but one guy had one about how scary all parts of him were ("frightening ponytail" -- no lie!). Turns out he wrote a better than average post and was amusing to RP with! (I'd call his posts outstanding, but he wrote in that odd future tense way. "And then his eyes would go to him and he would speak, then he would go over and sit down...".)
After that I RPed on Haken (shock of shocks! I've not RPed him for a year or two!). I can't believe I remembered his voice. :D The scene was lots of fun though, channel folks were setting off fireworks on the roof of Acherus.
And now I'm tired. zzzzz It's so odd having one day off in the middle of the week. Going back to work tomorrow is going to be brutal.
...someone's setting off fireworks really close now. Ellie has done well all night, but these are loud enough to be making me jump. I really hope no one starts a fire. I've had enough "HEY, WAKE UP, YOUR APARTMENT IS ON FIRE!"s for one lifetime.

Holidays like the 4th of July (IE Ones where the chief way to celebrate is to have BBQs and/or get drunk) means grocery stores are packed with people buying things to accomplish the previously stated objectives as well as people who think no one will be there. Generally more family oriented holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) are when you see few people the day of (usually last minute people) and the day after. I specifically request to work Boxing Day every year since I get payed more per hour and the damn store is empty. Plus I do all my Boxing Day shopping online since screw lines.
Ya, hopefully there aren't too many fires. I think I heard like 70% (or something like that) of the US is currently experiencing drought conditions since this massive heat wave is still happening (Dear Winter, please get here fast.).
"frightening ponytail" -- no lie!
I don't know, I've seen some pretty terrifying ponytails... At most I bet it was probably only a "mildly disturbing ponytail".

THIS. I hope this winter is nice and wet. We got nearly no rain last winter, which means no rain all year. We're bone-dry. I cannot believe people were so stupid to set off fireworks-- wait, yes, I can.
