Thanksgiving means free food, which is spectacular. And if that’s all it involved, I would be happy! But NO, holidays surrounding food must be ruined by shoving socialization into the mix.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I can socialize. I just choose not to, because it’s draining and I have to act like I care. We have to go over to my grandma’s house later today for a great big Thanksgiving get-together. I’m going to have to smile and nod and engage in trivial conversations.
At least there’s going to be food.
I guess Thanksgiving is about, in part, being thankful. So I’m going to make a not-very-heartfelt list of things I’m thankful for. :)
- Music
- Bread and jelly
- People that make me feel like I’m wanted
- Cool blogger friends
- Hoodies (I just got a new one, YAYYYY)
- The colors black and gray
- Plane tickets to Florida are only fifty something dollars
- Internet
- Books
- Bonfires
- Forests
- Stars
It got a little more sincere at the end.
Also: yes, I did take the picture at the beginning. And yes, I like it a lot.
NANO UPDATE: I’ve only got 1k left to go!
let's be lost 
Happy Thanksgiving, Loren! I hope you have an awesome day! :D
