We all know what you're thankful for. Your family, your health, your freedom, the food on your table, the clothes on your back, your good friends and of course Fridays.

But seriously. Is that what you're really thinking when you gather around the Thanksgiving table and hold hands and bow your heads and wait for Grandpa to finish muttering his thanks to 125 years worth of relatives you never heard of before you can dig into the mashed potatoes?

Your family and friends know you're thankful for them. They know you appreciate all the times you bum rides or borrow money from them. They know that you really like the puke-green knitted afghan they got you for your birthday. So let's not waste our time engaging in tired cliches of Thanksgiving. Let's be honest.

Me, I'm thankful for a lot of things. Freshly made hot cocoa, drive-through fast food, pens with erasers, grilled cheese sandwiches, books, DVD burners, Best Buy, Walmart, broadband connections, White Russians, Amazon, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, anti-lock brakes, four-wheel drive, movie previews, push-up bras, SPELLCHECK, keyboard shortcuts, Comfy Mary Janes, Twilight, Carnivals, Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme, double orgasms, cigarettes and Zippos, punk rock, White-Out, cordless keyboards, post-its, biodegradable tampons, Excedrin Migraine, headphones, highlighters, hot bagels, VH1, microwave ovens, mircowave popcorn, Toaster Streudels, sporks, DVD extras, Mel Gibson, peel-and-stick postage stamps, talking Hulk Hands, the Food Network, Showtime HBO & Starz, ATM machines, hooded sweatshirts, Homer Simpson, School Days, Second Life, Photoshop, Wii, public libraries and Chocolate.

Just to name a few.

So here's your chance to bypass the usual sappiness and overwrought words of thanks which you will surely be, in droidlike fashion, trotting out at the dinner table and which you will, by morning, regret saying because you realize that you actually hate your family, to give thanks to the unsung heroes of our lives; material possessions, intangible goodness, and anything that would make living out each of the seven deadly sins possible. What, besides the usual, are you thankful for?

You do not have to live in America to participate. I mean, even Europeans are thankful for some things, no? And, I'm not a total tool. I do have a real, heartfelt thanks to a special group of people.

Dinalya = First and foremost the best friend that anyone could ever have. No matter what goes on or has gone on in my life or hers she has always stood right beside me tall and steady. She is a rock and a mentor and someone whom I know would be sitting there in the jail cell with me laughing our asses off.


Aurora = I have known you forever it seems and although we don't get to talk or see each other as much anymore, I know that if it ever came down to it you would come bail me and Dina out asap.


Sands = For making Dinalya a happy woman. For holding her close and sharing your heart with her. For holding her tight and letting her know in ways that I can't how wonderful and amazing her heart is.


There are more but I would rather leave them out of this post at this time.. Be thanful for the little things, Things no one else would even admit to being thankful for this year because they dont want to sound materialistic, Be the oddball and thank god for shiny pennies and new dollar Bills! You will not regret it tomorrow =)

So we were all waiting on the bus to come today.. Was heading out for a shopping trip when it all started.. it was chaos! Aurora thought we were silly to argue over something so simple.. But I'm tellin you she said completely casual... she dun look as casusal as we did. Dina looks gorgeous as usual but far from as casual as we were..

So of course Aurora gets sick of us argueing and decides to grab the bus instead of telling us it was there.. well we prolly should have been payin attention. So there we stand.. Aurora left us.. and what do we do? Walk? No Way!!.. We steal a car.. well that proved to be the wrong choice too..

Hugs to you all! And happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate it!!

....Ugh.. title says it all! I feel like this lil gal looks....

so today I decided to run our with my bestie and I felt fine.. sneezing oddly but fine otherwise. All was peachy until almost bedtime for kids.. I am sick now =( Stuffy nose.. slight fever.. headache.. And to top it all off I had to cook dinner 3 times for myself tonight *sigh* A wise woman once said to me.. "At least the ony way to go is Up from here" Me thinks (hopes) she is right!!

SL was a bust tonight. Was gonna hop in and take a few shots tonight but when I logged in I couldnt change anything,. I guess those of you who are SLers know what I mean. Isnt that annoying as sin? I guess I we should all thank our stars if that was our only problem with SL tonight. A friend of mine logged in and was uglier then a newbie. She said her skin and all clothes and hair were gone could not be loaded so SL in their sweet fashion decided to recreate her toon for her and she was dark brown skinned with no details whatsoever.. no shirt.. a plain old white jacket (opened) and plain white pants with socks n shoes.. said she looked like a newbie who stayed in the sun waaaaay too long. She could change anything except her shirt and pants. Needless to say she didnt stay in very llong at all lol. I am sooo thankful SL likes me more lmao....

Anyway long story short I will not be posting anything worthy tonight but wanted to catch up n let you all know I aint posting! =P

Im gonna take me some nyquil n curl up in covers n watch some tv til I pass out! NIGHTERS!!

Ok so yesterday Dina and I got into SL and she found this really neat photobooth. Looks like one of those photobooths you would find at a mall or at an amusement park somewhere thats just barely big enough for two people to sit in and get a pic taken. Usually takes 4 snapshots for a coupke bucks. Well we got in it and started fidgiting around with it and we made the above pics.. I swear to god when we get together we laugh so hard we cry. Yesterday was no exception. On top of the photo abuse we were on the phone and Plurking as well lol, Dina is one of those people who life just isnt not nearly as much fun or worth living without. If you dont have a dina in your life I suggest you find your Dina.. Once you do you won't know how you survivied without her! I didn't know taking photos could be THAT much fun lol. Thanks Dina!! I love you girl!! Not only can you make me laugh but you make me pee my pants and cry all at the same time and that takes real talent!!

This is a crazy wench!!! Azaria Whiley... Dunno where she ran off to.. havent seen her on in a long while now. She is an awesome girl tho. We were doing our usual (trying to find something to wear to an event) and she was showing off some of her gestures and I just happened to snap this one at the perfect time! It totally captures Az's personality perfectly!


I dunno who this was... was on one of my many click n shoot days but she sparked me as someone who has a story to tell... An amazing story waiting to be heard! She is beautiful and mysterious.. anywho I snapped your picture so if your viewing this and wanna share your name I woud be thrilled to put a name to the photo!!!
