I made it through the fourth without any injuries. Barely. One of our neighbour's fireworks fully EXPLODED. It was all happy fun shooting fire into the air times, and suddenly BOOM! Parts of it shot across the street into some flower bushes and part flew into one of OUR bushes and was all sparky in there. Luckily, no one was hurt. Once we all recovered from our heart attacks we were able to be amused by it. As one is after almost dying a fiery death.

I have no icon appropriate for this moment, so have Jon in glasses.

Things

I have given up trying to convert my sister into a Scissor Sisters fan. If you can't find it in your heart to bop around to "I Don't Feel Like Dancin" then there is no hope for you.

Today I had a grasshopper on my knee today. Scared the crap out of me. I'm not afraid of bugs or anything, but I had an itch on my knee, and when I pulled my skirt up to scratch it, the grasshopper was just there. Sitting there all, "What's up? I'm a giant grasshopper and I wanted to scare you half to death. WHY IS THAT HAND COMING TOWARDS ME? OH GOD! PLEASE DON'T HUR-" And that's where it stopped because I slapped it off my knee as fast as I could. We found it on the floor of the car when I got to work, it appeared to be fine. Hopped out of the car, hopefully to find some foxy lady grasshoppers and have a good time. Or sexy grasshopper dudes. I don't know which it would prefer and I don't want to be hatin'. I'm glad the grasshopper was okay, I felt kind of bad for smacking it around.

What day does the Harry Potter movie come out? My mom's calendar has it on both the 11th and 13th. Not that it matters since I probably won't see it for a few weeks after it comes out anyway, but I like to know these things.

Aww...

My dad bought us baseball tickets! We're going to go to the Mariners on the 29th. I'm very excited. My dad and baseball are awesome.
