Happy Thanksgiving/Columbus Day (Americans)

[cynicalsnark]

So it's nearly midnight, meaning nearly the end of Canadian Thanksgiving, which I'm going to call REAL Thanksgiving, because I'm patriotic like that. Also concerning the Columbus Day thing, why doesn't Canada get a John Cabot/Samuel de Champlain/Viking day? I want a frivolous excuse for a sale day.

Anyways, I hope that wherever you are, even if you're not celebrating Thanksgiving, you take the time out to think about how very blessed you are--after all, the fact you're able to read the dumb blog of a twenty-something Torontonian on Livejournal, probably means you've got a lot to be thankful for, let alone the fact I'm writing it makes me well aware of how much *I* have to be thankful for.

So here's a short list of some random things I'm thankful for. There's obviously tons more (more than I can count) but here's some random ones:

• My family and friends (IRL, Online, past, present, and future)
  
• Their health and safety...MY health and safety
  
• The roof over my head
  
• My education--despite my eternal bitching and moaning and the people I hate in my program
  
• My mom's fruit salad
  
• The internets
  
• The people I get to talk to through the internets--some of whom are miles away, who I never would've been able to talk to otherwise.
  
• Arashi's general existence, (Notably: Aiba's laugh, Matsujun's face, Ohno's voice, Nino's snark, and Sho's fail)
  
• KAKA <3
  
• Cristiano Ronaldo's right foot.
  
• Cristiano Ronaldo's left foot. Pretty much all of RM's feet.
  
• Iker's hands. His facebook.
  
• Mourinho's tsundere-ness
  
• Sufjan Stevens songs.
  
• Death Cab for Cutie before Narrow Stairs
  
• J.R.R Tolkein. Neil Gaiman. Pablo Neruda.
  
• Late night conversations about nothing
  
• People who are still there for me, even on days where I feel so fucking lost IDK what the hell I'm doing
  
• The fact you're reading this now and find me interesting enough to even somewhat skim the list.
  

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!
