so in my stupid anthro of food class we have to do this stupid assignment on thanksgiving.  basically we have to attend a thanksgiving.  i was just talking to ben about this.  to me thanksgiving is a family event, not something you can go up to a person, good friend or not, and ask to attend.  you have to be invited.  i wouldn't even ask cassie to

prep yourself a nice dinner (and don't worry about the huge traditional dinner -- make yummy comfort foods and a huge batch of chocochip cookies!) and spend the day pampering yourself. i've spent several thanksgivings like that. in fact, i think i'd prefer to spend the day alone sitting in the bath with a good book and a bottle of wine. don't fret over the paper -- just make something up. think back to a family thanksgiving and write about that. i've pulled ten page papers out of my ass before, it's easy. you could totally do it. just relax and spend the day with a good movie and some stink-pretty bathoils!

that is actually what i was going to do. i was planning on making chicken (maybe), homemade mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, and maybe pick up some apple pie. but nooooo. stupid assignment! i figure if i get invited someplace i will go but i am not going to sniff out an invite. i was just irate/upset because someone just doesn't get it and seems to honestly think i have all of these friends here. i have no idea where he got that idea. plus it reminded me that i am not exactly close to anyone here.

i guess i kind of forget that you're in delaware. i'm sorry that things aren't going so well. i completely understand the painful shyness and not having any friends around. i don't even have any acquaintences here -- the people i work with only talk to each other and i don't really want to talk to any of my classmates (even if i did, i don't think i could physically bring myself to do it).

it took me forever to develop the acquaintances i have now. for the most part i have accepted that i don't have anyone i am close to here, but when i have to try to explain this to someone who should know this..... especially when they won't drop it. ugh!

anyways.... you will eventually find someone to talk to, your a pretty cool chica so i would be surprised if it takes you as long as it did me.

I second that. Just make something up. I've been to various different Thanksgivings over the years, and they're more or less all alike. Mainly, it's the desserts that are different. The way stuffing is made is sometimes different. Other than that, it's all about the same, food wise.

Thanksgiving is more or less just about the togetherness, and I'll agree with you, it's weird when you're with someone else's family. I've been invited to a few friends' Thanksgivings over the years since I've moved here to Delaware. I always feel like I'm intruding, even though I've been invited. So I understand your point there.

yes it is weird. its not as weird if you know the person pretty well and have had contact with the family previously. *read my other response*

my family actually has never been big on the stuffing, it makes an appearance occasionally but not on a very regular basis.

[evolvedsquid]

isn't it blashpemous to not have stuffing? ;)

[darkgreenroses]

probably.... ;)

well, since i read your other entry, i already know you have other plans, but i'm still commenting here...i'm totaly with you on that, i'd be feeling exactly the same way, and saying exactly the same things were i in your place. i would have offerred to be on AIM with you all day at mine, or suggested we set up some sort of webcam/frequent digital photos sent, and you could virtually spend the day with my family. x;)

[darkgreenroses]

thanks for thinking about it though. that would have been an interesting paper.... 'then she mentally handed me the potatoes.'
