  2 hours already? Hell, someone's really got cash to spend on fireworks. :D Although, if it's the 400th Anniversary... I get the picture.
  
  Guy Fawkes never really rang a bell on me until I read V for Vendetta.

  I made it through another Guy Fawkes without the house burning down, although this year some idiot managed to start a fire in some bush near my house.

  I honestly never understood Guy Fawkes day. That's the sort of antiestablishment sentiment that would never fly with mainstream America, let alone be comemmorated with a holiday. Ironic, really.

  Arethusa: i guess its a british thing to do:D that and its more of a excuse for a party these days;)
  
  Biggles: 2 years ago some idiots managed to set Arthur's Seat on fire in 2 different places, and the fire trucks could only reach one of them. the 2nd one had to fought with fire exstinguishers carried up.
  
  there were lots of pretty explosions tonight, and they're still going on outside as well. got a couple of pics but they're pretty lousy quality. might post them later when i can bothered finding my link cable

  I feel lonely this year.. So many fireworks and one really big cool display in the park in my town (its over a lake... really nice).. but no one to go with! So hear I am listening to it from my room getting all depressed and all. For some reason I have attached fireworks to romance only :P

  For me, fireworks usually mean Darwin Awards..
  
  And gotten bored of them lately.. not much proper ones in Finland atleast..
  
  It's all too nice and quiet now. Not a proper bang to it.
  
  The stuff they sell these years doesnt have any balls to it.

  Other way around here, I think people are fed up because there is too many ones that go BANG and not enough quiet ones :P

  But, on the other hand, we're the ones who had the revolution and made Star Wars. So just how pro-establishment can mainstream America be, eh?
