The Fourth
My high school is undergoing its most recent renovation. As this is where the viewing for the fireworks normally is, that means things had to change a bit. There's a park across the street from the school, so that's the main viewing area this year; the fireworks have been reoriented to face that direction. The fireworks are shot off from private property across from the high school--and also the park--so otherwise they aren't affected; they just had to be turned 90 degrees.
I'm not sure I'm going to see them in person.
Normally I hang out with my high school friends. However, I haven't really heard from anyone in months. I realize I'm partly to blame, as it's not like I ever call any of them up to hang out or invite them to parties, but usually they do call to say, hey, this is what's up. And then when I don't show up, they go, you *know* we always have the party and blah blah blah. Well, I hate to break it to you, but sometimes things change. Other people do have parties, or emergencies come up, or what have you, and if I haven't been invited somewhere, I feel uncomfortable going. How do I know I'm actually wanted there? I know I'm not that close to them, but it's still nice to be social.
I will say I did get invited out somewhere, but I'd rather not drive somewhere when a perfectly good fireworks display is within walking distance. Driving long distances on a holiday night doesn't sit well with me.
Oh well. I know I pretty much only have myself to blame when it comes right down to it.
