THANKSGIVING -- Day ten

So, I'm not even going to try to gauge my calories today... it's going to be bad, lol. I'm just going to try and make sure it's not disastrous. I don't feel that bad, though, lol. IT'S THANKSGIVING!

So, I want to list some things/people I'm thankful for:

- Chase Adams: we've been best friends for over a decade, and there's no one else I like spending time with more. I don't feel like I have to be anything except myself around him. And he's smart, so I don't feel like I'm deigning to be around him. We just like the same things, and we're creepily similar without being the same person. I just love the guy so much, and I can't imagine what my life would look like without him. When we're together, we feed off of each other's energy, and we become totally awesome people. WE DRESSED UP LIKE HOGWARTS STUDENTS, for heaven's sake! Who does that except us? And at school, too! Agh, we're so cool. I just love being around him. I never feel like I'm hogging the attention or being shoved into the shadows. It's a great friendship.

- Brienna Emmerich: we've been friends since I was in sixth grade, and she was there for me through the darkest times in my life. She makes me laugh, she totally understands me, and she's as zany and totally weird as I am. And she's this amazingly amazing photographer, and when I see her photos, I'm blown away by how awesome they are. Personally, her Fairy Tale series is my favorite.

- Annie Nelson: come on, it's Annie Nelson. She's so fricken awesome. And she sent me a message of weight loss tips and made the effort to reach out to me and help me when she's the one with cancer. How many people are so awesome? Yeah. I didn't think so. And she's so crazy smart. I love it when there are other smart girls around.

- All of my friends: there are way too many people in this category to talk about individually. But I hope it suffices that I love you all, that I'm thankful that I know you all, that you are all incredibly awesome people, and that we are all going to be such a force in history once we hit adulthood and we have influence and money and power.

- My family. Need more be said?

- My teachers. Honest to God, I love to learn. And my teachers are so intense. They are passionate about what they do, and they want us to learn. And from my teachers, I've learned so much, especially from Jackson, Clifford, Tomlisson, and Lucking, but also Goldhammer, Petroske, Breitbach... gosh, I've had so many wonderful teachers. They've all challenged me to be the best that I can be. I wouldn't be the person that I am today without these amazing individuals.

- My laptop. I love this thing more than I love most people. :)

- OLIVIA. We're losing weight together. We're awesome. WHAT MORE NEED I SAY?! :D

Happy thanksgiving, and eat delicious food without guilt! We have much to eat, therefore we must eat it! :D

  1. Yes! I agree, we're totally awesome and BOSS, like you said, for doing this! We're both doing sooo well :D I mean, for having habits like this for a long time, we could be doing a lot worse, but we're not, we're prospering.

    Do you know if the library is hiring at least? I'll check out there. I hear they pay like, 10 bucks an hour. I'll go there next week or something, I don't want to ask my mom for anymore rides, hahaha. I'll look around Snoqualmie. It'd be easier for me since I live right by the high school. Hmm. But no, I'll check out the library, I wouldn't mind working there.

    And like you've mentioned, it's a great workout being on your feet all the time ;] Whoo!

    Anyway, I'm proud of us!

  2. Hrm, no, they're not hiring now; that sucks. Look at places on the Ridge, too. I'm sure you'll find a job! Just gotta keep looking until you find one that you really want to do. Don't just settle for a fast food job, lol.

    We are so boss, indeed. And I agree. This is going to be a long journey with a lot of hardships, and we're going to fail so bad at times, but we can do this, and as long as we're committed to this, we'll, in the long run, be better people for it!
