I think it is because I am using the strike on box matches:
instead of the strike anywhere matches:
I'm not going to rush right out and buy some strike anywhere matches just to try it, but I'll let you know how it goes when I eventually switch.

You are too funny sometimes! I have never ben much of a pyro, I am actually the girl who blows out a match or whatever and then runs it under water before throwing it away to make sure the trash doesn't catch on fire. So I can't tell ya if the strike anywhere's are any better!
Be sure to prepare the waste basket properly by providing a good layer of dry and partly shredded tissue paper in which to toss the still-glowing match.
