  Best 4th of July...maybe.

  Holidays are usually kinda sketchy now without my parents around, I never have anyone definite to spend them with. All of Memorial Day weekend I spent at Jess' house. The fourth of July really isn't a big holiday with my family anyway, so I didn't have my dad's relatives calling me nagging me to come over...and my Aunt on my mom's side didn't call me, so I decided to chill out with Jess today. We hit up Target for some supplies for this evening, then we went to the grocery store, got hamburger buns, soda, and a box of sparklers.
  
  I ran into my friend Dana, the one who I thought drunk dialed me earlier this week at the bottle return at the grocery store [a few of our friends were getting rid of the remains of their fun last night...haha] so I talked to him for a bit...He denies being inebriated when calling me, but I don't quite buy it...anyway, that was nice...considering I hadn't seen him in a while, and I hadn't really talked to him in about a month.
  
  After we left Stop and Shop, we went to Jess' house and had some of the requisite fourth of July barbecue. One of the topics of conversation was the news that watermelons contain something that works like Viagra...gotta love Jess' family.
  
  One of my other friends, Tyler, was trying to convince his parents to let him go to the fireworks with us...[Understandable, considering the moron got nailed for DUI in a parked car. Seems he was too sloshed to pull the keys out of the ignition when he saw the cop coming...but that's another story for another day.] because of his momentary lapse in judgement, he's on house arrest [courtesy of his parents] until he gets his license back in October. So after dinner, I'm IMing him trying to find out if he's gotten a straight answer out of them...turns out he couldn't come...oh well. Me and Jess decided to head up to the fireworks to get a decent spot before it gets too crazy. Being the obsessive person I am, I check my Facebook. Justin sent me a message. [To which Jess was like "My God, you're pathetic" when I did a juvenile squeal...haha] So much for the "OMG when should I call him?" dilemma...haha. So I managed to get him to come. [At this point Jess was like "Okay, this kid has to come so I can see why you won't shut up about him...] He wanted to bring his friend Andrew, the singer...but I guess Andrew had already went to Rhode Island and was so plastered that he thought he was in Jamaica...how can you confuse the two? Lord, he was sloshed...haha. I convinced him that he could still come though...then I was compulsively checking for his car until he showed up [God, I am bad].
  
  When he got there, me and Jess were headed up to her car to get soda or something...but that idea was shot to hell afterwards...so we found him afer he called me, and as we were walking over Jess was like "He definitely is cute." [Score, he passed the best friend test, Jess thinks he's awesome]. I introduce them, then we go to find Seth and April and April's brother. We find a spot and chill out for a while, then, of course, like usual, the drama starts. First Seth and April's brother start fucking around, and then Seth and April start fighting. It gets awkward, so Justin's like "You wanna go get drinks or something" so we go off and hike halfway across the school grounds to get drinks [Now that brought back painful memories of having to do the mile run down that driveway]. As we're walking off, this cop starts going "Hey, hey" and, of course, we're both kind of confused because we weren't doing anything wrong. Turns out someone nearby went and complained at the cops about Seth and April's brother. The cop told us "We've gotten some complaints about the group you're with. If we have to speak to you again, we're going to have to ask you to leave"...I figured it probably wouldn't be wise to talk back to the cop, but I was thinking "Dude, we're walking away from them for a reason...", so we continue on our way, and by the time I took out my phone to give the geniuses a heads up, the cop had already yelled at them. Oops. So we got a couple of cans of iced tea...and then Justin's like "How good are you at darts?" because they have one of those dart throwing things with the balloons set up...Thankfully I don't suck at darts quite as much as pool...My answer was, "I'm better at darts than pool" so he bought me a shot at the darts and I won myself a purple elephant...Way to not make a total fool of myself for once :P Then we joked around and said "If they piss off the cops, they better do it before we get back" because we both wanted to see some fireworks...haha
  
  We get back and Jess is nowhere to be found [turns out she had the same idea as we did and took off to go see her mom who was sitting off somewhere else when April and Seth were bickering.]...She comes back and then Seth and Justin start talking about blowing shit up [what little pyros] and shooting things [Ha, Seth is beat, Justin was in the Air Force.]
  
  Then the fireworks started, which in and of themselves were amazing...but the shoulder rub I got during them was way better...Damn he's good at that...screw going to school for computers :P He was very polite about it, he asked...and what girl in her right mind would not take him up on that offer?
  
  Then afterwards, he offered to drive me to Jess' house which was vastly unnecessary, but really nice of him. We literally had to sit there for about a half an hour before we could leave though, but that's cool...he's awesome. He told me I was too tense from work....gee I wonder why, what with the demented people punching me and all...We were gonna go to Dairy Queen, but of course it was closed...damn. Because you know I could have spent another bajillion hours in his presence...So we get to Jess' house...and I of course didn't want to leave...but we made kind of tentative plans for Tuesday...*Squee* Then I went in Jess's house and gushed all about it...haha
  
  All I have to say is first kisses with people are never exactly easy. Hello awkwardness.
  But props...he didn't try to ram his tongue down my throat...*cough*idiot ex*cough*
  
  All in all, an amazing night.
