TURKEY! WOOOT! BRING IT ON MOM! I mean....Being thankful, that's good too.
I think we forget what Thanksgiving's really about. I mean seriously, if we're supposed to be thankful everyday, why do we have to have ONE day where we stuff our faces with turkey and pumpkin pie?
I'm takin' it back to the Valentine's Day argument. But really, if we're supposed to love and be thankful everyday why do we have these holidays? And why does Valentine's Day involved a HUGE argument about being Forever Alone but Thanksgiving doesn't?
C'mon people, get your crap together.
So my metabolism is the stupidest, stupid-stoop in the world so I gained a grand total of 5 pounds over the weekend. Wooow, don't hurt yourself Faith. Yeah, yeah well it's a miracle I gained anything. Nevermind the fact that our family now has six years worth of leftovers as 7 people weren't able to make it to our Thanksgiving Dinner.
I remember one time, about 6 years ago, I ate the biggest turkey dinner ever, only to find out I lost 3 pounds. Like I said, my metabolism is stupid.
Guessing people's lunch is fun because it's like "What do you have for lunch? OH WAIT, let me guess. The giant bird of feasting from which we give thanks around?". Wow, why am I always right?
THEN COMES THE DREADED QUESTION: soooo, what are YOU thankful for?
Aw crap, seriously? I gotta say something? It usually goes like this:
Mom: My Health
Dad: My Family
Sister: My Friends
Dog: My Food
You: *MAN, everyone took the good ones"......Um.....the internet?
In all seriousness I think I need to make a list of things I'm thankful for. There are so many things and I'll put it on the internet for everyone to see:
-Being able to speak English (I would probably fail if I had to learn it as a second language)
-Being able to forget
-Having the ability to even (only while supplies last)
-Hugs, Hugs, HUGS
-Being able to remember
-Having all my body parts (even though I hate running, I'm still glad I have legs)
-Trying escargots and not throwing up the first time.
-Not being allergic to anything (Food is SO good)
-Being alive when the Internet existed (Everyday I'm Tumblrin')
-Those lovely souls that send me physical mail sometimes
-Hoodie Strings (those things teach you patience, m'kay?)
-Not having to drink water out of a contaminated pond
-Having the mental capacity to think for myself
-Maintaining a healthy conscience (No, I shouldn't have bought all the seasons of Friends)
-People who fall asleep on buses
-Voldemort jokes that nobody nose (...peh-heh)
-Being able to feel and have emotions
-Having the ability to play music
-The Potential to be happy
-Donuts
-Not looking when all my classmates Googled "Blue Waffle"
-Eyes to see beautiful people (aka Ingrid Michaelson)
-Being able to laugh as hard and as LOUD as I can
AND
-White clothes (you know, for when I have my period)
These are just a few of the things I'm thankful for. There are so many things to be thankful for, a short list doesn't even encapsulate my inner and deepest most thoughts on gratitude.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving full of gluttonous tendencies, but also for the time spent commemorating what we really do love, enjoy and are grateful for. I love you all and until next time. Cheemo!
