First all -- why the hell do people need banners when they write fic?

Are you writing fiction or are you trying to win "the most awesome banner" contest? Fucking lame and it only takes away from your story that probably isn't going to be good anyway. *nod*

*ahem* Anyway.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FELLOW AMERICANS!

Or should I say, happy day where everyone gets to eat with people you only see once or twice a year? Yeah.

So, my mother and I did have that feast that I spoke of last night. Turkey, ham, salad (with blue cheese dressing that I made that kind of turned out amazing), mashed potatoes, apple pie, lumpia, and pancit. Over all? Totally amazing. I just feel so fucking grateful that I was able to have all of this food today in a failing economy and in a time where things are tough for a lot of people. I'm feeling very thankful.

I called my dad in the morning and he had his own food prepared for everyone in the house. Feels so weird to spend the holidays away from immediate family but what are you going to do? That's just the way that things are.

So, my cousin came over around noon and we ate while watching the dog show that they broadcast after the Macy's parade.

Oh and since she's into Twilight. Um, yeah. Yeah, I went to see Twilight.

Uh, why ... um, yeah. I guess I'm still trying to recover from the experience.

So, hope everyone had a good day today or the best type of day that they could have had. I am enjoying the Friends episode with Brad Pitt. Friends Thanksgiving episodes = love.

Dudeeeeeee, you're making me hungry, lol.

Fly over to try some of my mom's! It's definitely a family favorite.

I'm glad you made it out of Twilight alive! I've only seen a clip from that cam version floating around, where Edward flashes his dazzling/sparkling/wtfever chest. That's...pretty much all I needed to see.

I don't know how but I managed to make it through. Yeah him being all sparkly was confusing. It looked totally ridiculous. Who describes vampires like that anyway? And in the movie it made it seem like a hint of light and he turns all sparkle-tastic. That would be even more impossible. Then again, there were way too many things that didn't make much sense. Most vampire stories have some kind of basis in reality. This one does not.

Good to hear you had a happy turkey day! Is the little pilgrim in your icon smoking a cigarette? LOL.

Brad Pitt on Friends FTW!

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Omg. Best episode. Everyone is so fantastically hilarious! I think I need a Brad on Friends icon. Hmm.

[mozartfan1313.livejournal.com]

Oohh! If you get one can you let me in on that action? lol. I'm surprised I don't already have one. Brad + Friends = two of my favourite things ever. lol.
