Oh yes, lookie lookie! I am updating. Whoo!
Hm. So today is National Turkey Day, operation: Get Fat(ter). And what a joyous occasion to share with people you love, usually a collection of archaic family members you didn't even knew existed, forgotten from last year's get to-gether. It's funny how in the short of a year how I went from hating holidays to a mood of indifference.
People would always get excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'd just be like, "Gay! Why can't we just keep going to school?" and hide as much as possible in my lonely corner of the house, always the dissaproving tone of my father harshly reverbrating through my ceiling and echoing throughout my room for me to cry even harder. Last Thanksgiving, my mother gave me a few books, one titled The Girl's Guide to Self-Esteem, and the other, How to Love Yourself. If that's not calling for one to stab themselves in the head, I'm not sure what else there is. However, I no longer feel like Harry Potter, dreading to go back to an onslaught of mistreatment in the skeleton of a house that would never become home.
This year made me realize that I have extremely wonderful friends. I actually had to choose between people as far as what to do, whether it be the Copelands themselves, Chris from work, Keith's family, or with Zachary. I'm now grateful for the break, seeing as how I now despise school and everything involved with it. I'm sincerely thankful for everything I have; a roof over my head, the Copelands who care about me, an adoring boyfriend, and people I can call upon whenever I need them. I have a good job, I have plans for the future, and I'm finally going somewhere. And I'm thankful I'm happy. Oh, and I called my house today, and my dad picked up. He said the connection was poor, so I said, I'll call on the house line, instead. So I called back....and after four rings, my mom picked up. So I guess things with my dad are still tense. I really hope he can move on over it already. =/ Though I talked to my mom and my grandma, and my grandma is sounding really good.
Zack is on his way, so I have to end my rant now. Happy Thanksgiving to Samantha, Melanie, Keith, Ricky, Sarah, Zane, Megan and EVERYONE ELSE. Eat good food, gain lots of weight, and don't forget to smile.
