The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who hasn't forgotten her annual Thanksgiving post!

This year I am thankful:

-For my wonderful family in Australia, and the fact that I had the opportunity to spend time with them in February/The fact that I'm a dual Australian citizen.
-For the doctors, technology, and pure luck that's saved Ash from dying again and again. Just because he screws a lot of stuff up doesn't mean he deserves to die.
-That Sal agreed to go to prom with me.
-For the most fun prom I could have imagined.
-That I was cast as the parts I was in both South Pacific and A Midsummer Night's Dream; both were perfect for me.
-That Stephen appeared in my life, and especially for the conversation that we once had about how he liked desserts, which was essentially the beginning of my cupcake and baking hobby.
-For everything on my Wall of Reasons (I'll write a post about that later).
-For a stable family that loves me and takes care of me the best they can. They're far from perfect, but they care about me and that's all that really matters.
-That I finally found the strength to tell Ash goodbye for good.
-For my driver's license and beautiful car.
-For Mr. Rood: because the sentence, "Have you looked at Cornell? They have a hospitality school that you might like," may just be the start of the rest of my life. I'm also thankful he got through his heart surgery okay.
-For Devon, because he got me a really thoughtful (and useful!) gift for my birthday, and he was SO helpful with looking over my college essay/supplement essays. I'm thankful he's stayed such a good friend for all these years.
-For Chico, because he's the best co-director of One Acts I could ask for.
-For Tomas Kalnoky and Streetlight Manifesto, and Jason Mraz.
-For the internet.
-For Sal. For everything he's done and does and hopefully will continue to do to make my life better and keep me feeling safe and happy in any way he can.

Oh, and my new pea coat. It's frickin' adorable and I got it 60% off on Black Friday. Booyah :D.

OOH AND COMPLETELY UNRELATED TANGENT! Because I said I'd keep you guys posted on this. Nivea A Kiss of Milk and Honey may just be my new favorite lip balm. I haven't had a single issue since I started using it two weeks ago. It's nice and smooth, smells and works great. Finally a solution! :D

But yeah I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Gotta love a country that celebrates giving thanks one day and obscene greed the next xD.
