feeling: the dryness of my hands
listening to: Dad running the blender
Ok. A few years ago, some city in Kentucky did this thing where they put up these really cool full-sized horse sculptures all over the city in honor of Kentucky's history in horse racing (the Derby and all). Each statue was either made of a different material or painted with a different design, some relatively normal looking, some totally bizarre, some really cool mosaics and murals, some that were like everyday paintings - landscapes, starry skies, people, etc - on a horse-shaped canvas. Well, now the city of Columbus, Ohio has undertaken a very similar project... except instead of horses, we get sculptures of... corn. Yes, corn. What's next, a collection of potato sculptures in Boise?
I shouldn't have said that, it's too likely to happen...
Anyway... in the spirit of the holiday, here's a list of things I am thankful for.
~My parents and their boundless patience... even though it wasn't so boundless at all before I left for college
~A place to come home to
~Dumplin', my own personal angel
~My cat, Ginger, who is napping in my lap right now reminding me that there are still simple pleasures to enjoy in life
~My other cat, Misty, who hates everyone except me and would follow me to the ends of the universe if she felt like it
~My bettas, Phoenix and Sekiray, for giving me something amusing to watch when I just need a break
~Linda, my Sunday school teacher, who makes church worth going to
~Vanessa, my RA, who made that stupid night in the emergency room bearable
~Willard, the one person from my past who never gave up on me (though he probably should have :p)
~The 'print' button being right there ready to go when I finally finish major essays and term papers
~My nephew, doubtless the only human on earth who adores me
~Whose Line is it Anyway - the one stress-free hour I can count on every day
~Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako, especially when they're both on screen at once
~All my J-music - something to fit every mood I could ever be in
~Having lost enough weight to almost feel good about myself physically
~The opportunity to go to college and have a chance at making more than minimum wage someday
~The fact that I can major in Japanese and succeed in it even though I had zero experience with it before I started college
~Knowing enough about the Japanese language to whine and mope in it while no one has a clue what I'm saying so they can't bug me with their pity
~Summer 2003, the best summer of my life, as well as those who made that summer what it was
~Pinky Peach Mints. Nothing more need be said.
Happy Thanksgiving, all you fat American pigs.
