Happy Thanksgiving.

Most people start off by listing all the things/people that they're thankful for. But I just had to comment on the fact that when I was checking my facebook, a bunch of people were saying "Thankful for so many things but only one day to be thankful for them."

W.T.F.?

When did it become that Thanksgiving is the sole day that we're supposed to be openly grateful? I mean, sure, a majority of people start taking their blessings as granted throughout the year and then are reminded of them on this particular day but that's a flaw regarding human beings and not something that can be used to rationalize the fact that we SHOULD be grateful for everything everyday of the year. I just found it pretty ridiculous and somewhat amusing that some people actually believe that today is the only day that they can go around saying "I am thankful for this" etc. etc.

Mini-rant aside, I guess I'll conform to the typical ways of today's society (hehe) and say what I am grateful for. But I'm too lazy to explain why so it'll become a ... list, with no particular order.

- Family (as much as I bitch and rant about them) which, of course, includes my cutiepie Mochi! I love my baby.
- Closest friends (they know who they are)
- Other certain friends (har har ... :D)
- The fact that I'm pretty much sheltered from the shitty economy.
- Food. FOODFOODFOODFOODFOOD thank goodness you exist!

Isn't that pretty much it? The people that I'm blessed with are the reason why I enjoy life and the little things that come with it. I guess this is where that one phrase comes into play quite nicely ... a little thing goes a long way.

My dad is coming back from a 2-week business trip in China! He'll be home in about 2 hours. I wonder if he'll decide to rant at me for upsetting my mom while he was away or perhaps about my dismal grades hahah. I hope he doesn't. He should, uh, respect that today is Thanksgiving! Yeah! And hopefully decide to be lenient on me today. Or possibly too tired to make a fuss. Regardless, just thinking about it is making me apprehensive haha ... T_T

So, yeah. Happy Thanksgiving eh? Not exactly 'Turkey' Day since I won't be having turkey tonight.

P.S. I had the weirdest dream about some sort of underground Nazi hotel and a couple friends & I were running from them because we were trying to sneak into their secret rooms where they were dealing ... something ... and my parents somehow showed up like near the end of my dream. And the popo came right when we were about to get taken in by the 'gangsters' (?) and saved us. They had some whaaaack Christmas-looking elevator with balloons everywhere and trap floors that led into some water trough and ugh. Wow. I don't even know what I'm talking about. THAT was a fun dream <3
