SO.. Sorry I haven't been around for a while but it had been a rocky few days. I did have a good fourth of July but yes, as I said, I was set on fire! Ok, lets back up a little bit. I had a GREAT fourth. I went to this great hot dog place (Jerry's Dog's), drank all day, saw The Hangover (see it! Freaking hilarious!) and then went to a friends house. Now, this friend spends over a $1000 on fireworks. We had over an 1 1/2 long fireworks show and it was awesome! Towards the end they began to bust out the $50 and $100 dollars ones and set them all off at the same time! Craziness! It was after the show that the trouble started...

Some of the people I was with found some extra fireworks that were overlooked because they were smaller. We found sparklers and other such hand held ones so no one though anything of some of the smaller ones being used in the hand. I was wearing a low cut shirt and a zipped up sweatshirt. One of the smaller fireworks (that turned out NOT to be hand held) was "somehow" pointed right at me and it shot off. A spark flew down my zip up and set the top of my chest on fire. It must have looked really strange because everyone stopped and started watching me with a glowing chest. I put it out pretty quick, after about 20 seconds or so, but it had already burned through the skin. It hurt SO bad! I went home and iced the hell out of it and I am fine, minimal scarring, but it stung for ever!

So, between that and going to the hospital for a completely non related incident. I have been a little caught up with life. Sorry I took such a long break but no I don't have much to do except hang out around here.. So hello everyone! How are you doing?
