Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is real thanksgiving in the world, or more importantly: Canadian Thanksgiving, and as such I'm going to give back to the world of livejournal by telling everyone on my friends list - who still updates that is - why I am thankful for them. Yeah, it's going to take awhile, so let's get this started...
_glamazon - You seem so very - COOL, and fascinating. I don't have much to say about your adventures (perhaps just because I'm not sure what to say), but I follow them, you can be sure of that. Happily.
agent_ouchie - I love your art, but unfortunately I don't really come out and say it, mostly because it seems trite of me to just throw a random compliment out there, when I don't really know you. Still...
agriking - My favorite farmer, and though you're not around as often anymore, you're still kick ass.
alabastard - I find you completely intriguing and fascinating. Your life is anything but ordinary, and thank you for sharing it.
ameshinju - Oh Lisa, you know you've been one of my favorite people for years... it's always a pleasure.
amphilyke - You know, Alex - it wasn't until a few months ago that I really realized how much I missed you. Let's not vanish on each other again.
aparecida - We don't really know each other all that well, but I find medicine amazing (I was going to be a doctor) so I'm thankful that you let me into that world, if only a little.
aphroditeishot - I'd have nowhere near the strength and force of will I have to day without you. Thank you, Jen.
apriluberalles - I have hours of music because of you, and hours more to look forward to... thank you so much April.
audrawilliams - Again we don't really know each other, but I read your politics with relish, because you do know what you're talking about, don't you!
biscayne - I'm thankful that you still look fantastic, with the fiesty brain to back it up...
bitch_box - I'm thankful that you get yourself into all sorts of fantastic adventures and I'm able to follow them from a distance. Plus you bring the genre of geek chic to an entirely new level.
