The obligatory Thanksgiving list of things I am thankful for.

Being that this is the first Thanksgiving in my whole life that I have been without my family, I am feeling a little sadsack. I am making myself a dinner of sweet potatoes and burritos and playing massive ammounts of video games. So here is my list of things that I am thankful for:

*Borrowing Saucier's x-box and a cheap used copy of Fable
*Sweet Potatoes
*NO football on thanksgiving for the first time ever
*Overalls
*Lots of Harry Potter in 2005 - new book, new movie, this geek fan girl is in Hogwarts Heaven
*Getting once acceptance letter that was just amazingly crazy and lovely
*Veronica Mars
*My family -- you know if you don't say it you will just have guilt. Plus it's true.
*Finishing the blanket I was crocheting. Now I just have to give it!
*Bubble Baths
*Joss Whedon
*Bush's low approval rating. If only the presidency was like American Idol.
*Friends... once again needs to be said, but honestly I think I know some of the most interesting people. They are a cornucopia of quirk, laughter, compassion, and good times.
*Going to see the Barenaked Ladies on Dec 1st
*...and a lot of other things profound and no-so that I would rather meditate and think about myself. Despite some bumps and possible scary changes going on, I have a good life. I have many things that make me happy, and could ask for more, but won't because I think that learning to love what you have and appreciate it is one of the hardest things a person, especially an American, can learn.
