thanksgiving/now

a random update. this is an excerpt from an email i sent to a friend. hopefully it makes sense.

thanksgiving was good. when we were driving there on wednesday the car died in a crazy rain storm and we pulled into a hotel for the night [not planned] and then the car jerked and died. right under the pavilion. michael and ann [stunt parents] considered this a pretty shitty thing to happen. but it was nice cuz we didn't even have to get wet and we were already going to stay there for the night b/c the rain was getting to bad to drive in. and the next morning my dad came and drove us to huntsville [where sally (my g'ma) lives]. i guess it kind of a glass half full or empty kind of situation though. thanksgiving was still amazing though. lots of good food and family times. and nice sales on stuff friday. i got 3 shirts [nice shirts] for less than $10. at charlotte rousse i love that store.

....but they were probably unnecessary. i mean the suit/nice pants from ny&c were kind of needed for yale model un [excitement] but i don't know. i need to give away a lot of my clothes that i never wear. i get a lot of hand-me-downs thinking o i'll wear that one day and then i never do. i have entirely too many clothes. probably more than you. and it's completely silly. it does save on the times i need to do laundry each month though. so i guess that's a plus. it's still probably kind of selfish though. i envy your self0control w/ not going to black friday.

tomorrow night is psych club movie night at my house and we're watching fight club. good movie. very well-played w/ where they put music etc. and then saturday is a speech tournament where ppl go and do speeches and drama and all kinds of crazy stuff and white station hosts it. o my life is exciting. i think it'll be fun though. hopefully at least.

watching fight club makes me think of how i don't need all the crap i have. and how americans constantly base their identity on all the crap they have and don't need. o i have this big house i'm successful now. that kind of stuff. i probably love my computer and its internet access a little bit too much. i don't find identity in it though. it's not a part of me.

also: i love the fall! so much. it's so beautiful to drive through my neighborhood and see the leaves changing. it makes me happy.
