The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen Who is Thankful.

So yesterday was Thanksgiving.

Well, before I go into the whole thankfulness thing, I'll give you a quick update on stuff.

Ash:

Everything's fabulous, basically :). He is such a good boyfriend to me, really. It's so obvious he cares about me with everything he does, he shows concern for my happiness. And at the same time, I love doing stuff that makes HIM happy. What I like best is that he makes me feel special, for doing nothing at all. He dared me to wear sneakers one week instead of items from my 36-strong shoe collection. It was strange for me, I hadn't worn sneakers to school since I was teased for it in 8th grade. He told me I looked pretty every day though, then at the end of the week, he gave me this cute little plastic bracelet with a note saying that I didn't need fancy things to be pretty. That's the kind of guy he is :).

Friends:

Ugh, let's not go into this. The guys have pretty much all but isolated me, it's obvious now that I'm not with Sal they won't be nearly as welcoming. Whatever. Devon and I are still close, and I made a new-ish friend, we'll call her Chiki, in my Chem class and she's really sweet, a really good listener.

Family:

Daddy's home until after New Year's!! But Mommy is mean xP.

School:

Still holding my perfect 100 in French :D. My Chem teacher is psycho but other than that, stuff is good.

So anyway, NOW about Thanksgiving :).

I like Thanksgiving because, as my Lit teacher put it, it's a family holiday but there isn't any kind of delusion with anything like presents, it's just strictly family and food. Now I'm not the biggest fan of my family, but I do enjoy food :D. I stuffed myself last night (to the point I couldn't sleep) and it was really fun. Especially because I got rid of the fever I'd had since Tuesday. I find Thanksgiving is more of an internal holiday for me, simply because my family doesn't make it much of a deal. I take the time to reflect and really be grateful for what I have, because I know not everyone does. And I try not to list every single thing from my cellphone to my parents, so here are the big things I'm really, really thankful I have, and who helps me have them:

-My Sanity: Devon and Ash
-My Happiness: All of my friends
-My Love: Ash, of course!
-My Success: The decent teachers I have and friends that help me with homework
-My Health: The OJ that got rid of my fever
-My Family: Um, other relatives of my family, i guess xD
-My House: Mommy and Daddy!
-My Possessions: Mommy and Daddy and friends that get me gifts
-My Singing Ability: My totally awesome voice coach
-My Brain: Mommy mostly xD
-My Body: Genetics and Hula-Hoop!

-Ash, and the fact that he's happy and healthy

-Technology

-Education

-Food :)

So there you go. Amidst the face-stuffing yesterday I hope you at least thought about something you don't think you could live without. I know I have a few, and I'm so glad that they exist :).

NOW LET THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT BEGIN!! :D
