It's November 26th, the day squished in between two of my best friend's birthdays, the day of turkies, the day of thanks. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Today is the day we give thanks to everything we're thankful for. I am thankful for a lot of things.
-Friends: Really, this is the biggest thing I'm thankful for. I cannot stress enough on how much my friends mean to me. They're there for me when I need them, they listen and, almost most importantly, they make me laugh and feel good about myself. I don't know what I would do without them. I know that sometimes we get into fights and arguments and we disagree a lot, but at the end of the day we're always there for each other, even though we may not show it all the time. Family is included in this section too, because my family members are my friends, and it would be silly to not include them in this category.
-Music: Tied with, if not a little behind, friends. Music is my only love (so far) that is not my relative. It heals me when I'm weak, it brightens my day and it never ceases to cheer me up. I fall asleep listening to music, and I wake up listening to it. I play it when I'm getting ready, I write lyrics on my hand because I can't bring my iPod to school, and when I get home I do my homework with music playing in the background. The only time I don't listen to music is when I'm reading. I don't know why, but I can't seen to concentrate, even though I can concentrate perfectly while doing my homework when music is playing. Maybe the combination of two amazing things (books and music) is just too much for my brain to handle? Music also provides me with poetry and a beat too. Some lyrics are like my life story, while others aren't, but are amazing nonetheless. I like a variety of music, from one end of the spectrum to the other. For example, the sometimes vulgar and "interesting" themes of My Chemical Romance to the ever so innocent happy Owl City. Music is just amazing.
-CSI: Yes, an entire section devoted to CSI. I watch it when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I'm bored, when I'm mad... heck, I'll watch it whenever. Most of all when I'm feeling down, because there is NOTHING a good dose of Greg can't do. Also, as an escape to get my problems off my mind and dive into the problems of others (I mean, being dead is qute a problem...). The forensics fascinate me, and there is no way I will ever go without CSI. When the series ends, I'll demand it begins again and doesn't stop until Marg Helgenberger dies. However, when and if it does, my heart will die a little inside, but then I'll celebrate the amazing TV show by watching every single episode on DVD. Okay, maybe that's a little much, but I truely am thankful for CSI.
-Jasper and Pasha (and Ernie): My beloved cats. My best friends. They really are the best of friends. They listen (or, I think they're listening... even though they don't understand me), they are so cute, they sleep in my lap and most of all, they DON'T TALK BACK. They can't tell my secrets, and they love me. Whenever I'm feeling glum, I go find them, make them purr and I'm restored. Plus, they're so darn cute.
-Books: As with CSI, they are an escape. I get attached to characters, and there are many books I cannot put down. I am a strong believer in the peaceful coexistence of Twilight and Harry Potter. I have a ton of books, and I want more. I love love love books and I don't know what I would do without them. They're amazingly awesome.
I suppose what I'm most thankful for is my life. I have a wonderful life with friends, books, music, CSI and kittens, and I wouldn't trade my life with a better one. I'm happy with what I have, and even though I'm sometimes sad and wish I could just l e a v e, I never will because I am so
thankful that I have such an awesome life.
Happy Thanksgiving- and tell the people you're thankful for that you're thankful for them. :)
