thanksgiving turkey with plenty of malarky
yay. thanksgiving was today, i was oh so very thankful for all the wonderful things that such a holiday represents. when i was working at georges vanier the other week, the kids were doing thanksgiving painting. it was truly a joy to watch them paint, on paper-plates with weird mickey mouse ear type pieces, such t'giving favourites as turkey, pilgrim, and indian. i found it rather funny, reinforcing (to my belief that life is contradictory by nature. [ambiguous, i realize, but i don't care to delve into more at this point]) and somewhat sad. enough said.
getting into actual tgiv good times:
`my grandparents are hilarious. it's especially extra hilarious to pick up on the eccentricities of the more aged demographic. some of these eccentricities may or may not include their discussing benches, and why the lack of a bench every 20 feet means that they can't go for a walk. another such amusement might be found in how my grandmother doesn't hold much merit in anything that my grandfather says. although, he is 84, and says lotsa really absurd/ludicrous things. of which i usually respond with much laughter and admiration.. so maybe this habit of the cosgrove matriarch doubting her mate is actually one of brilliant logic? in any case, i'm genuinely glad i was able to share their presence, amongst the presence of many others today.
`reading the dictionary for at least 35 minutes and quizzing my family. very educational event. my favourite piece of knowledge gained from good old oxxy oxford was the definition for sphincter: a muscle that relaxes and contracts on some body part. wow. i'm really glad that this definition isn't horribly vague. maybe i'll be a dictionary editor when i grow up.
tonight i was reflecting upon my life ~365 days ago. i was bitter in respect to a number of things. one of which was living in kanata.. i suppose i have done a good job eradicating that source of bitterness. now it seems that another major source is slowly/not slowly at all being taken away from me. i don't want it back. take your damn bitterness and let me use the brain capacity for other things. thank you!
it seems right now that life is excessively good(fun/spontaneous/ridiculously unpredictable..) this isn't a new revelation, it just seems fitting to address it right now.. the end.
