Thanksgiving and all that Jazz...

I came home to Auburn for thanksgiving and it really hasn't been that bad. Yes my parents do keep the house and 65 degrees and my brother stole my room so I'm in my sister's room. But after a few arrangements (i.e. putting bricks underneath my sister's desk so i could fit my legs underneath and throwing the mattress on the floor since I'm too big for the bed) it hasn't been that bad. Hanging around my brother has been really cool, I haven't seen him in a year, and I don't talk to him often. Let's face it I miss him, he's been moved out for 4 years now. Today we had 13 total for thanksgiving. My parents are always very generous with food and inviting people to their home and what not. I could have easily brought a carload of people home with me and my dad would have loved it. I guess that's what happens when you grow up with 7 siblings and always have friends in and out. I wasn't feeling all that sociable today though so i mainly kept to myself and out of the way. My parents didn't seem to mind too much, I guess being a social butterfly during my younger years paid off a bit by giving me some downtime now.

Now for some little things I'm happy and thankful about:
-I'm thankful that I can afford milk. My brother walks into the kitchen tonight and pours himself a huge glass of milk and says "I'm drinking milk while I can, normally never get it, I can't afford it"
-I'm thankful that I have a car to get me from point A to point B, and all points in between when i get lost
-I'm thankful to have Matt, who has a car, and won't get lost quite as much as I do
-I'm thankful to be well cared for, by my friends who won't let me be emo, by my family who leaves me pretty much alone, but will give me almost anything I ask for if I really need it
-I'm thankful that I'm in school...I hate the studying and class and what not, but hopefully one day I can get a job or some suchness and be all independant like


I hope that everyone has had a good thanksgiving. No killing families etc. Hopefully not too many deer in headlights type grillings about the guy/girl that is/isn't in your life right now. Lots of food, and lots of sleep.

PEACE!

It's funny you have to put bricks underneath the desk just so you can fit your legs underneath it. Tall people - we may have to make some modifications to our furniture to fit, but we can reach the top shelf!

You shouldn't be emo, and as long as I have more than 3 hours of sleep under my belt, I won't let you be emo without a fight! :P

My step-mom of course brought up my ex, and asked how she was. Thankfully, she didn't ask about my dating life in the past couple of months.

yay! thanks for me! but I get a little lost too sometimes. I should make a list of things I'm thankful for, that's a good idea...

Thanks for milk, didn't think about that before...
