I'm an American. I live in North Carolina. A very very VERY southern place filled with proud, patriotic people. Yes, I do love my country, but I absolutely detest the Fourth of July. Why? Well...

• everyone gets wasted off their asses and tries to drive after. Bakas...
• every single house is blasting with music and they're partying to 3AM. I can't sleep.
• THE FIREWORKS GO ON ALL WEEK. LIKE, SERIOUSLY. THE FOURTH OF JULY IS ONE DAY, NOT SEVEN. SHUT THE HELL UP PEOPLE.

I'm petrified of thunderstorms (cough cough Rena Deveraux cough cough) and loud noises, so how do you think I react to fireworks...?
