The last Thanksgiving of any substantial memory was the one I spent all alone in my apartment in Slumerville. I remember it vividly because of how amazingly alone I felt, and how I felt like I was missing out on spending time with my friends back in Northern NH, but at the same time felt that that loneliness was pretty cool. I was 19 and supporting myself in my own apartment, and Thanksgiving was the day I decided that no matter how much I'd missed out on in high school, no matter how underwhelming it was to "graduate" via mail in another even emptier apartment in Davis Sq. whilst everyone else turned it into a two week blur of memories, booze, and spray paint, no matter how much else things sucked, it was all worth the feeling of vindication in that apartment right then and right there.
Last year's was so stupid... I don't even recall what happened. Last year in general was a waste of time, you haven't missed out on much. At all.
This year, I'm on the verge of buying a car and moving to an adjacent town for 12 months, but there's always one more hurdle to clear to get to that point.
That's the update, and my weak, WEAK new entry. I'm trying to get back into LiveJournal, and I don't have much to talk about right now, so... here it is. Enjoy.
Missed everyone.
