What (and Who) I'm Thankful For.
[ooc: I'm bored, so I'm making Angel do this. It's not like he doesn't leave me alone, sometimes.]
I've never really celebrated Thanksgiving, before. I've lived in America for over a century, but technically, I'm Irish. And for most of that century, I didn't have anything to be thankful for. But, I guess I do now, so...
Even if I can't eat the food, I can still tell my friends how I feel. Not really my thing, but... I'm trying to branch out, here. Let's call it a purging of the soul.
Buffy: I'm thankful you're alive (still/again), and that I met you. You changed my life, definitely for the better, no matter what's happened to me since that day I first saw you. There are some things I wish I could change about our relationship, and how I've treated you, but I'm thankful I know you, and you're a part of my life.
Cordelia: I wouldn't be the man I am now, without your help. I didn't always like it when you poked and prodded me out of my shell, but now I'm very thankful for it.
Faith: (Yes, I'm going to get "mushy." Deal with it.) I'm thankful I met you, and very poud of how far you've come. I knew you could do it. Don't give up. And if you ever need it - I've got your back.
Xander: ...Alright, yeah, I'm thankful to know you. I guess. I will say this: you keep things interesting. So long as you don't get either of us killed or in too serious trouble, that's a good thing, I suppose.
Willow: I kinda owe you my life. A couple times over, actually. But I don't want you to think that's the only thing I'm thankful for, about you. You are a great friend, to both myself and Buffy, and for that, I'm thankful.
I'm thankful for Connor (even though he won't see this, and some of my friends don't know who he is.). I never regretted his life - I just wish I could have taken better care of him. I guess that means I'm actually thankful to Wolfram & Hart, too. *grimaces* Even though they were literally evil-incarnate, they gave Connor the normal life I couldn't. The one good thing they ever did. I hope it rankles.
I'm actually thankful Harmony talked me into getting this LiveJournal thing, too. I didn't think I'd ever get any use out of it, but I've reconnected with a lot of old friends (something I've needed, especially recently), and even met some new ones, which is nice. So, thank you, Harmony.
I'm thankful for my new friends. I haven't known you long, but I look forward to getting to know you better.
I think it kinda goes without saying that I'm thankful for my soul. 'Cause without it... well, I wouldn't be here, would I?
I guess that's it. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
