Hello!!! How about if we all say something we’re thankful for. And I don’t mean soemthing that we like, something that you would be lost without, something that has hugely improve your life, something they don’t have other places, something that you would fight to keep (and I’m being serious here), or something that makes you glad to be alive.
1. My best friend. I’ve never had a friend like her, and I don’t know what I would do without her.
2. My freedom. I’m so glad I live in the U.S. What would I do if I lived somewhere else?
3. A lot of other things I’m too lazy to mention.

I be thankful for:

4) The snazzy Utada Hikaru music video I’m currently viewing.
I love the day after Thanksgiving, because my mom and brother are always all frazzled and running around to go shopping, while me and my dad watch/laugh.

im thankful that i read muse and watch monty python but also have a life! this might be strange and foreign to some certain anime freaks i know…but whatever. i dont compalin except because i like doing it to bug people. im also thankful for turkey. it was going to be the national bird, but then it would be kind of wierd on thanksgiving for everyone to be eating the symbol of their country, so i guess im thankful for the eagle too. im also thankful that i wasnt a pilgrim, cause according to my 1st grade teacher, they wore the stupidest hats in history. we had to make them for a project when i was 8 or something.

MontgomeryGurl, I shudder to disturb your ignorance (Ignorance is like a delicate fruit. Touch it-and the blossom is gone. -Lady Bracknell, The Importance of Being Ernest, Oscar Wilder) but other countries have freedom as well. And if you didn’t live in the US? I, for one, would have ACTUAL ACCESS to things like, oh, media from other countries, and Caran D’Ache pens, and maybe Pimkie fashion…am I getting BITTER here? Sorry.
What am I thankful for? Hmmm…Garrison Keillor, Flanders and Swann, Douglas Adams, the guy from Les Negresses Vertes, Tom Petty/the Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello/the Attractions, and Dire Straits.
See, I’m not all pessimistic. I refrain from being completely pessimistic. Hard, though. I’m just downcast, pessimistic, and slightly defeatist by nature. Which is why I detest the holiday season.

i know this should be on a different thread but……. oh vell, here kitten’s message-
kitten says-
Phoenix, you like Tamora Pierce? Have you read all 23 books?
Oh yeah, Kricket, she has another book-the 23rd, ‘The Will of the Empress.
Ebeth, nice story, and very laughable at that. Oh, wait!! its a movie!!! I’ve seen part of it(we are the knights of NE! Don’t make me NE you!!!NE NE NE NE NE NE NE NE NE) is that the same movie, or a different one? if it’s the same, i would like to know the title.
wonder how i’m talking to you? Kricket copy + paste what you say, then mails it to me. I reply to her, and she copy + pastes what i have to say onto the website.
WE ARE NOT NEERDS!!!!! DON’T MAKE ME MAD, I’M WARNING YOU!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoom!!!!

I was refering to the kind of freedom I have here. I know there are other countries with freedom, but not that many. I was just thankful I lived in one of them, no matter which one it was. Plus, The USA has a cool flag. There are a lot of other things I like a ton about America, but if I mentioned them all this post would belong in the Hot Topics section.
Nice to here from Kitten!!!!

I hate Thanksgiving. I really don’t like turkey, and I’m vegetarian, so I don’t eat it anyway. We had ham this year, anyway. I also hate ham and don’t eat it.
My thanksgiving:
Me: I’m vegetarian.
Grandma: Don’t you want ham? A growing girl needs protein. You should eat ham. What else are you going to eat?
Me: Well, let’s see, I have some cranberry sauce, a roll, cucumers, and mashed potatoes. Gee, I guess I can’t get any food without eating meat.
I really ate Thanksgiving. I am thankful that Thanksgiving only comes once a year and that we get so much school off for such a useless holiday.

Hey, you don’t have to hate an entire holiday just because of the meal!!!! Thanksgiving isn’t about what you eat, and I think most people put way too much significance on that.

Hi MontgomeryGurl, Robert, and all you other musebloggers. I’ve been quiet lately because my job has been keeping me tooooo busy. Here’s the usual scenario: I’m sitting at my desk in my office at Stanford, editing an article on some sort of amazing biomedical discovery. I get stuck on a hard part. I pop on to the blog, check to see if there are any posts waiting for an administrator to get sent through, and then catch up on reading the active threads. Then I think, uh oh, better get back to work.
I’ve been finding the discussions in the “hot topics” thread really interesting. And I’m amazed at how respectful the discussion has been. Musebloggers ROCK!
KitKat, I am thankful to you for that heavenly imaginary experience. Aaaaaah.
Thank you

I don’t hate Thanksgiving because of the food. I hated Thanksgiving even before I was vegetarian. I already said that I eat stuff on Thanksgiving. No, it gets my goat (love that expression) that every Thanksgiving I feel guilty that I’m having such a big meal, and that there are people starving in the world who would be thankful for half of all the food I’m eating.

Thanksgiving, like most holidays, is about how much you buy. And how much you conform. Which I personally don’t do. Much of. I know, I know. (Life is like a grapefruit.-Douglas Adams)
0
0
Really? I must have missed a memo or something, because I thought Thanksgiving was about putting up with annoying relatives, and pretending to be interested in what my aunt’s mother-in-law acts like, and trying to figure out what my grandmother is talking about, and putting up with hyperactive cousins.
I don’t know what you mean about “how much you conform”. I don’t see any kind of over conformity in our nation on Thanksgiving. We all fix the exact same dinner and say the exact same I’m-thankful-for-my-family-and-other-obvious-stuff-now-we-all-feel-good things. What’s conformistic about that?

*dances* I love thanksgiving (even though I’m not a fan of turkey / ham) because I get to see la familia and get presents XD woohoo!

Well, I feel like what juliette means is that thanksgiving is just another way to make people buy, buy and buy more. Plus, there are after thanksgiving sales, which, although great, also are kind of blatant, which gets on my nerves. (must confess. .I got, like, 8 pairs of 7 jeans on sale. I love them all!) NE way, montgomerygurl, were you being sarcastic about conformity? Just wondering.

Of course I was being sarcastic!!!! Gosh, does everyone think I’m stupid and unable to see obvious flaw in my thinking?!!?? Don’t worry, it’s not just on this blog, a lot of people believe I’m unable to comprehend basic concepts and think logically at all. I don’t know why, but apparently I come across as an idiot to some people. (No Beady, I was not yelling at you. I was reminded by your perfectly legitimate question of some people who think I’m a total idiot, and I was ranting about them)

I have no snow. you want snow go up north like i did. all we’ve got here is rain.
*sniff*
I was up there for thanksgiving!! yay! snowness! cat and i got in a snowball fight w/the boys and totally clobbered them but they won’t admit it. First we took over their fort and then they went up in the little swing/slide thingy but we took that too, but then we abandoned it cuz there was no snow left up there and so they got back in and said they were victorious. We let them suffer their little delusions. we beat them at schmere too. mwahaha.
yes i like to ramble on about SNOW!!!
*GASP* Large crowd!! I’m ashamed!! Don’t pie Phoenix!! Remember-We’re all…OW!!! HEY!!! Meanies!!!!
haha i think meanies is the funniest insult ever. it’s just so totally lame. especially when you hear it on an audiobook. My dad had one of the magic treehouse books on his ipod for no reason at all, so we were listening to it cuz we were bored, and they basically invaded the castle and knocked stuff over and were generally annoying and stupid and then when the knights try to take them the girl yells “Dummies! Meanies! we didn’t DO anything!” and the voice was soooo funny we just totally cracked up. wow that was funny. good times…

A lot of words are really lame if you think about them long enough. Take “movie”. It means a picture that moves, instead of sitting still. So, when people first saw it, they were impressed that it “moved”, consequently they took what it did and added “ie” to the end. Lame, huh?
0

wow yeah. i never actually thought of that! movies were just movies…
hey GAPA can we have a thread on etymology? I think it’s cool. not just like word origins but accents and slang and all that good stuff…
