Sinister: firestarter

[Archel1978 at xxx.com]

well, after last night there can be no further doubt: fireworks are better 
than sex. 

and i'm not just saying that because i'm not getting any of the latter.  the 
display at the end of the lewes festivities was amazing, and possibly only 
heightened by the stoned people behind me going "oooooh, looks like alien 
ships!  jellyfish!"  there are some experiences which can't be described, and 
you will just have to imagine the thrill of standing in a muddy field with 
3000 people, all watching the sky become the most beautiful thing ever, all 
cheering and gasping involuntarily in perfect sync.  i imagine watching b&s 
play live would be a similarly transcendental experience, actually, but sadly 
i haven't had the chance to find out yet.

if i was forced to choose between giving up orgasms and giving up 
fireworks... well, it would be a tough call at the moment.  as for choosing 
between b&s and orgasms, should we take a poll on this one?

anyway, the whole night was fantastic as ever, complete with processions of 
mongol hordes, zulus, vikings, tudors and pirates.  someone pointed out that 
it looked a bit like a gay pride march, but i would have to disagree.  much 
more gaudy and kitsch.  also, as a letter in the local paper revealed, the 
average lewes resident thinks that someone who prefers their own gender is 
called a 'homosexualist'.  how we laughed.

and then we laughed some more at our hapless guests from tame cambridge, who 
spent the whole evening with their mouths open in disbelief, a dangerous 
activity considering the numbers of bangers, embers, and suspicious hot dogs 
flying around.  us locals take it all in our stride, even the riot police and 
the burning tar barrels, but i'm not ashamed to be awestruck by the 
fireworks.  i'm going to see some more tonight, could i be becoming an addict?

not much b&s content, although i dare say there was a boy with an arab strap 
in the parade somewhere.

starry-eyed hugs,
