Journal - Ack
I've rediscovered that fireworks are not my favorite things anymore. It's been a couple of years since I've been close enough to hear them going off. Watching is one thing, but I've decided to avoid future repetitions of being that close to them going off.

Also too busy to sleep. I love coffee. So. Much.

	You're not the only one who isn't a fan. I suggest making a list of potential firework dates (and don't forget things like Diwali and Chinese New Year if you're going to be in London or another big city) and then either get somewhere well warded with blackout curtains, or go somewhere out of the way.

	I don't mind them nearly so much if I can't hear them. They are pretty. But the sounds, especially when you're not expecting them... ~~I thought they were people apparating to surround me again, I just...~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Sight or sound, both are bad for me now. I know exactly what you mean.~~ I tend towards doing neither seeing or hearing. Like I said, keeping an eye on potential dates. If you'd like my list (geared for London) let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I haven't been around here for holidays in quite a while, so it slipped my mind. A list would be good. Last thing I need to do is hex someone on accident. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay, I'm going to work Jan - December because it's easiest for me.

Jan 1st - leftovers from NYE
Late Jan/Early Feb - Chinese New Year (date shifts between about Jan 20th and Feb 20th, you're probably okay if you're not near China Town or somewhere with a high Chinese population)
September/October - Diwali (date shifts mid-Sept to late Oct, often mid-week)
November 5th - Bonfire Night (also the weekends either side)
December 31st - NYE, these are always loud and always bright and last for ages

Plus of course the random incidentals that happen for weddings, birthdays etc.
