Thankful?

Nov 24, 2006 22:09

I mean, everyone else lists what they're thankful for.

I'm thankful that I have people who I can trust. People who will answer their phones at all hours of the night, who will listen to me in silence even when I have nothing to say, and who are always and have always been on my side (even though sometimes I didn't believe it). I'm thankful that these are people who I've never done much for (though I would do anything for them) yet who are willing to do so much for me.

I'm thankful that even at the age of 20, I still believe that if there's something I can't do, my parents know how (even though sometimes they think I'm crazy for what I think they're capable of) -- car trouble, schoolwork, job interviews, electronic devices, cooking, driving directions, whatever. Some people might see that as a negative thing, but I'm still thankful for it.

I'm thankful that my cousin Sarah is so happy with Stuart, and I'm so glad to have him as a part of our family. Sarah is one of the most important people to me, and it makes me feel so good to see her so happy. (And on a selfish note, I'm also thankful for their relationship because it makes me feel like I have hope...Sarah liked Stuart for YEARS before he realized he wanted to be with her...YEARS! So maybe I have a chance with what I want as well...maybe. At least it's proof that it happens!)

I'm thankful that I'll be done with college soon. Because eventually, college becomes what high school was towards the end. Unfortunately though, four years down the line, will I say "okay, I'm done with life, people are too catty." ?!? I hope not. But I'm still thankful that it's about time for a change. Even though I'm kind of scared of such a huge change.

I'm thankful for my beautiful car, Hilary Cecilia. We celebrated our 1st anniversary this Thanskgiving break. I do not know where I would be without her.

I'm thankful that I'm young. As much as I'm aching to turn 21, I'm glad that I don't have 83-year-old men hitting on me (like my aunt does)...or at least, 83-year-old men hitting on me who think they have a chance.

I'm thankful for my bed and how close it is to me and how easy it is going to be to fall into it in a few minutes.

I'm thankful that people actually read my livejournal.

On Wednesday, I went to Westchester and had lunch with Mariana and her roommate...then we went to the Educational Warehouse and Borders. Then she came over for dinner...there were 12 people at my house...it was intense. Antipasta and lasagna and a billion desserts (pumpkin cheesecake, cannolis, pistachio cake, etc). After dinner, Tara, Chris, Mariana, Danny, and I went over to the Cabillis' house to see Evania but she wasn't there...so we played with the puppies for a little while. One peed on Chris's hand. Nicely done. Then Danny and I drove back to drop Mariana off.

Yesterday, we went to Aunt Mary's for Thanksgiving...good times. Good wine. Good food. You know the routine. Sarah, Tommy, Stuart, Danny, Tara, Shannon, Emily, and I played Apples to Apples for close to two hours. It was crazy. We were there ridiculously late...it was almost midnight by the time we got home. I went to the diner with Evania because she was hungry (who in their right mind is hungry after Thanksgiving dinner?!??!) and it was good to catch up. Then I went to bed.

Today I went to the bank & dropped my car off to be inspected...then we went to the city to see Mamma Mia. It was all right...not the best I've ever seen (apparently our tickets were $111 each...I wouldn't say it's worth that much...). Then we went to Avanti for dinner. Yum.

I'm so tired but I would kind of like a cannoli right now...but I believe Danny is going to bed so I'm not allowed in the kitchen anymore....bahhhhhhhh.

Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut..then hopefully hanging out with Jamie! We'll see. I need a dress for formal.
