A Quiet Moment of Reflection
So, in my continued efforts to try to think less about myself and more about others (hey - all you hecklers can just shut the fuck up,) I'd like to make a list of things I'm thankful for this year.
1. My family. The only people who have been there my whole life and who love me through think and thin, no matter what stunts I pull, no matter how much I'm acting like a bitch and no matter how distant I am. I loves me mum and sisters more than even I know.
2. TJ. Oh, TJ. The cause of and solution to so many of life's little problems. I am especially grateful for TJ this Thanksgiving because it's our very first anniversary!
3. My friends. Oh my god, what would I do without my friends. I love that my greatest friend related problem is not having enough time to spend with all the people I love so much. I have the greatest friends in the world and, living far from family, you guys are what gets me up in the morning and keeps me going throughout the day.
4. My job. I enjoy being able to pay rent. And the iPod Nano was kickass. Everything else...well...in this job market you really ought not complain if you have a job...
5. San Francisco. I fell in love with it when I was a small child and hadn't even visited it yet. The first day I stepped foot on the SF soil I knew it would be my home. Everyday I love this city a little more and remember less that the rest of the world exists.
6. My neighbors/neighborhood. Damn you bitches crazy, damn you bitches great.
7. My education. I've paid enough for the goddamn book learning, might as well be appreciative of the smarts I bought me.
8. My health. This has been my healthiest year yet and I never understood how great health is, or how sick I've been until this year. I even used one of my sick days as a ditch day! Yay health!
9. Super Mario Party 7, MUNI and the driver who lets me on when I forget my pass and my bus buddies, the old lady who asked me if I wanted a ride home because I had so many groceries, the chef at the Kezar pub, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, happy hours, Craigslist, 70 degree weather in November, flip flops, jewelry, www.perezhilton.com, being smart enough to know better, being too young to care, love, Golden Gate Park, having full use of my senses and limbs, Stephen Colbert, Social Distortion, little Toan who I look for every day, puppies and kittens and dogs and cats, the kindness of strangers, laughing and laughing and laughing, snuggling in bed, pink nail polish, diet Coke, coffee from Philz, America (yes, people, America,) paid holidays, the intensely wonderful feeling you get when you realize this is life...and all those little things which would take me forever to name but are precisely what makes life so intensely wonderful.

Yeah for #1. All of them actually, but that just has to be my favorite. Glad to see you on here, it makes me think you're doing okay. I must say, how bad could you be though in 70 degree weather. It keeps snowing, at least it looks pretty.
