So I walked five miles this morning as part of our new wacky regime to get exercise on Thanksgiving, but it was kind of nice once I woke up (read: about two miles in).
And now I think I am going to make a huge narmy post about the things for which I am thankful!
I'm thankful for my family. I know I complain about them a lot and demand they make me pie, but I really do love them, and sometimes I don't think I talk about that enough. I love it when my dad gives me a big one-armed hug for no reason. I love it when my mom lets me do what I want as long as I get home by eleven, and doesn't make me fill up the gas tank in the car. I love it when Jamie actually enjoys a movie with me and we don't try to kill each other. I love it when Molly gives me a hug and tells me about her day and lets me ruffle her hair. I love it when my dog Zelda bumps up next to me on the couch and doesn't go away until I pet her for five straight minutes.
I'm thankful for my high school friends. I'm thankful for
chocomarauder living so close to me, and geeking with her about Naruto and Code Geass. I'm thankful for
abrof and his supernatural ability to rickroll anyone at any time. I'm thankful for
xvladsgirlx and her amazing hair. I'm thankful for EB, who has no LJ account, and her huge Slip-n-Slide-able hill. I'm thankful for
jaderhade's entire existence.
EDIT: And I'm thankful for
wickedxxlovely, whom I somehow forgot to mention. I'm thankful for her awesome sexy samba dancing, her beautiful smile, and her dragging me to Twilight things. (btw, let's go see New Moon this weekend so I can snark at it)
I'm thankful for my amazing college. I'm thankful for all the people I've met here. I'm thankful for the awesome food, even if I do enjoy it a little too much.
I'm thankful for all my internet friends, whom I shall name right here in alphabetical order:

sub_textual: I have a lot to be thankful to you for. Thank you so much for your influence in my life. You've exponentially improved my writing, my self-confidence in RP and in general, my understanding of women's issues, and just the way I see things around me. I know I go on, but I do miss RPing with you, and I hope I didn't leave without leaving an impression of how grateful I am to know you. ♥

tsukara: I'm thankful for our mutual Anko love, and shipping tastes! Send me the link when you make your next FST~ ;D
zanisha: I'm thankful to you for...everything. You were the one person I followed from fanfiction.net to LiveJournal, and it's because of LiveJournal that I know all these fantastic people, so I suppose that means I wouldn't have met them without you! I hope you're doing well in RL. ♥
And above all, I'm thankful to God for the chance to be here with all of you.
STAY CLASSY, INTERNET.
