Yeah, I know.. a rip off from Craiggers - but his show is pretty much sucking right now (should have stayed with The Daily Show), so I don't feel nearly as bad as I would normally for stealing his stuff.  I think I could do a better job with it anyway. 

So here it is, my words of wisdom to take you through your day (or couple of days as you will cut me some slack on how often I update this).  You can even ask a specific question to me (via email - not icq) if you want some specific "wisdom" from me. 
Here is some non specific wisdom: 

So in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday - and since my family and I aren't attending a Martha Stewart-ized holiday celebration for me to rag on later, I have decided to write a very special (read as - easy to write - but might put you to sleep) - Things I am Thankful For list. This isn't nearly everything I am thankful for, though.

  • For my cam site and the peeps that visit it - which has given me endless hours of fun and allowed me to meet all kinds of cool people on the net which would bring me to---
  • LiveJournal - without it - I would have never met the people I have come to enjoy exchanging sarcastic retorts.
  • The people on my LiveJournal Friends List.
  • I have now become immune to the horrors of the movie "Deep Blue Sea" (I have seen it 18 times) and though some scenes almost make me wet my pants with fear - I can recover quickly (though I would never last in a movie theater)
  • I am a full time student (slacker) and love my schedule
  • I don't seem to look my age. Either that or people are amazed that someone that acts so immature can be that old and don't comment.
  • The amount of people that demand that I "Show them my tits" have drastically decreased.
  • I have kept the ability to laugh at myself without too many bar brawls ensuing afterwards.
  • I am soooo glad that caffeine exists - and that mom not only approves of it - but requires I partake of it if I am visiting in her home.
  • Tim Horton's and their toffee coffee in Downtown Canada
  • Downtown Canada (yeah I make fun of it - but some of the coolest peeps are from there).
  • Chocolate - without it - this world would be a dreary place.
  • Craig Kilborn - not to be confused with his show - which sux.
  • My mom rocks this planet. (How many moms do you know cook food for internet strangers and are ok with their daughters being less than marriage material?) There are countless things I could say about her - but that would be a Moment all its' own. I am glad I have her.
  • My dad attempts to rock the planet and ends up not failing cuz of Mom. (Dad does try).
  • My friends in real life in Huntsville, Athens, Atlanta, Chicago and Canada.
  • My house.
  • V. C Andrews books.
  • Little kids sense that I am not a "kid-loving grown up" and not only leave me alone - but scream in terror and run.
  • Battlebots
  • I have no gray hairs.
  • My costume collection beats your costume collection - and I still fit into all of them.
  • Talk shows. No matter how bad my life gets - I am always gonna have the better deal than the midget marrying the prostitute.
  • I have an uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time and make everyone around me laugh.
  • Most of the people that visit my forum (besides a few) are generally cool and smart people.
  • There is a new season of Absolutely Fabulous
  • That fate works in mysterious ways and always seems to end up making me happy about circumstances and lets me form new friendships that I never thought possible.
  • Game Shows.
  • Reality shows.
  • Vodka
  • Henry - my fingernail technician.
  • Drag Queens - why can't I meet any of you that are straight?
  • PeepingMoe - for being there at any given time to help me with any internet problem (and I am talking about being there at 2am on a Tuesday morning in under ten minutes of trying to reach him) or just to chat, even when I wasn't his client.
  • For Sci Fi cons - without them I wouldn't know what to plan for in my free time or anywhere to wear my sequins and fur.
  • Midol - extra strength caplets
  • For Mr. HAT - He gave me a reason for getting out of bed and going to school on some days - regardless that I have yet to have a straight answer from him about a date - or been able to ask him out for that matter.
  • Wellbutrin - without it, I would be the girl in the ending scene of "The Craft" (the one that thinks she can fly while they strap her to a bed and inject her with something "helpful."

Man I can go on here for awhile - and though I could, I might save it for a journal entry... I am just thankful for a lot of things that are going good for me and people that I have in my life. I realize this post isn't as funny as some of my other ones - but I am kinda in a reflective mood - so just deal with it.

Mom and I will be cooking on cam and Dad will be there to eat with us on cam for our Thanksgiving steak dinner. I think we are gonna be wearing hats. Dad is all pleased that he has a red white and blue hat to show his patriotism (as well as his fabo fashion sense). I don't know what time it's all going on - but I can tell you that our dinner will be over by 6:30pm central time. Mom got us an invite to mooch desert off of another family.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

BTW -What are you thankful for?
